Hi there, Anna - welcome to
planDisney!
It's great to hEAR that you're planning ahead for a Walt Disney World Resort vacation next year. Surprising little Mouseketeers with a visit to see Mickey and his pals is one of life's great joys!
You are correct that vacation planning tools have moved online in recent years, and Walt Disney World Resort is no different - vacation planning materials such as brochures and videos are no longer available by mail. I know this might be disappointing, but I have some suggestions that might help fill that void.
First, know that from a planning perspective, there's a lot of great content available online, including from your friends
here at planDisney! Plus, you always have us at your fingertips if you have any questions along the way. If that's not enough, you may even want to consider finding a travel professional with experience planning Disney vacations!
Now, for the surprise ... I have so many ideas, but there are so many more online if you go hunting, ranging from simple to extravagant. It could be as simple as getting some gifts from
shopDisney featuring their favorite Disney Characters! I would also check out Disney+ for some exciting entertainment. If you're not already a subscriber, you might want to be - there is
an entire area of content dedicated to Disney Parks, including tons of options that will certainly get your little Mouseketeers excited for their vacation!
I know this isn't the response you were hoping for, but I think it should put you on the right track -
stop by with more questions any time!
