Hi Amy, and a very heartfelt welcome to planDisney.
Oh my goodness, you and
Mirabel Madrigal have so much in common! Aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents who genuinely cherish being together—what a wonderful gift!
I'm so happy you've brought this question to planDisney because "Like a bolt out of the blue, fate steps in and sees you through." You've wished upon a star for a way to connect with your family, and I'm pretty excited to act as your planDisney Blue Fairy because I have a great idea!
A quick-service restaurant called
Pinocchio Village Haus is located in Fantasyland at
Magic Kingdom. This restaurant is inspired by the story of Pinocchio, who ultimately is granted his wish by the Blue Fairy to become a real boy. When you enter the restaurant, look for the glowing blue window. Here, you'll find the Blue Fairy Wish Book. In this book, the Blue Fairy invites Guests to write down their wishes and heart's desires.
This is the PERFECT place to write a note to "wish" your incoming family a magical trip. Afterward, tell your family to check the book, and they will see your heartfelt message. A few years ago, I wrote down my wish to become a
planDisney panelist, and now here I am on my side of the computer helping you create a special connection with your family. This feels like Blue Fairy magic to me!
Amy, I truly hope you have the most wonderful vacation. Remember, "When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true."
