Welcome to planDisney, Holly! It looks like your visit is just around the river bend, and I know you must be excited for all the magic that awaits you at the Most Magical Place on Earth! What better place to experience pixie dust than the Walt Disney World Resort, so let's jump into your question about ways to sprinkle a little extra magic on your trip!
Holly, as a lifetime
Dumbo the Flying Elephant fan, I've never known about a license to fly at this attraction, but I did a little digging and it seems this pixie dust (while not guaranteed) is sometimes available to guests from Cast Members at the attraction; I'm going to be sure to check it out on my next visit, so thanks for sharing that with me! Now, onto your question!
Holly, while pixie dust is usually a magical surprise, I can offer you a few tips and tricks that might bring some extra magic to your day (just keep in mind that offerings are subject to change):
- Visit Sir Mickey's gift shop in Magic Kingdom and ask for a complimentary pixie dusting from the Cast Members! They'll have you close your eyes, make a wish, and sprinkle you with pixie dust!
- Try your hand at pulling out the sword in the stone in front of Prince Charming Regal Carousel - you never know when you might surprise yourself with your own magical strength and be successful!
- If you're utilizing Disney's complimentary resort transportation (especially the buses), ask the Cast Members if they might have transportation tokens. These collectible wooden tokens are sometimes given as pixie dust to younger mouseketeers on the buses or other modes of transportation.
- Stop by Enchanted Tales with Belle in Magic Kingdom, where you might be selected to play a part in retelling Belle's story!
- Visit Guest Relations and ask for celebration buttons - from a 1st Visit to a birthday or even a generic "I'm Celebrating", you can make your own pixie dust for the day!
- Take flight on Star Tours and keep an eye out for the rebel spy - it might just be you!
As far as other specific attractions, you never know what the Cast Members might have to sprinkle a little extra magic on the guests each day. I still remember receiving a "Magical Moment" certificate on the former Backlot Tour attraction years ago when I was cast as an extra and (more recently) my husband being chosen to lead our team of elephants at
Festival of the Lion King. These magical and unexpected moments are the heart of pixie dust, and I hope you'll be surprised with a few of your own during your visit!
Holly, I hope you have a wonderful visit! If you have any other planning questions, we'd love to see you again here at
planDisney!
See you real soon,
Alison
