Hiya, Michele, and welcome to planDisney. What a generous gift you're planning to give a lucky someone! I can't imagine a more magical surprise than a
Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Let's talk about the easiest way to make that magic happen!
Since you'd like your recipient to choose the dates of their visit, the best option is to purchase a
Disney Gift Card for them to use. They can book their Disney Resort Hotel and Theme Park Tickets online or by calling
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations and using the gift card as payment. This way, their names and information will be linked to their My Disney Experience account. Once they're in the theme parks, they can use any additional funds on the gift card to purchase meals and merchandise.
It would be fun to buy a
Mickey Mouse plush to accompany the gift card and make the surprise more memorable. I'm sure you can think of creative ways to give this grand gift. You can purchase Disney Gift Cards online and at many large retail locations. I love the
Disney100 designs! You can also send the gift card electronically, giving you lots of flexibility.
If you'd only like to purchase
Theme Park Tickets as a gift, you can do so online by choosing "This order is a gift" and entering the person's name and information. Please allow a few days for the transaction to go through, and then they can link the tickets to their
My Disney Experience account or pick them up at a theme park entrance.
Bravo on your plans to give this fantastic present, Michele. Whoever the lucky person is, they've got a friend in YOU! Please
stop by planDisney anytime, and I'd love to hear how the surprise goes.
Magic awaits,
Elaine
