    I want to plan a special experience for my family this fall, but not a party, but can't decide which one! What do you recommend?

    Hey there, Amanda! 

    I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome you BACK to planDisney! It truly means the world to us that you continue to count on us as a trusted resource throughout your Disney vacation planning journey. Seeing returning Guests like you is such a wonderful reminder of the magic we're able to share together!

    What a fun question to dive into! There are so many incredible experiences your family can enjoy together at Walt Disney World. Let's take a look at some exciting possibilities!

    First of all, I think a Capture Your Moment photo session is always a fantastic choice. These private 20-minute photo sessions with a Disney PhotoPass photographer give your family the chance to capture stunning, professional photos in one of the parks. Whether you choose Cinderella Castle, World Showcase, or even Galaxy's Edge as your backdrop, it's the perfect way to preserve your magical memories.

    Another amazing option is to enjoy one of Disney's unique tours. For adventure lovers, the Wild Africa Trek at Animal Kingdom is an unforgettable VIP experience that takes you behind the scenes to see giraffes, hippos, and crocodiles. Plus, you'll walk rope bridges and enjoy African-inspired snacks on the savanna. If your family prefers something more relaxed, Behind the Seeds at EPCOT is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the greenhouses inside The Land Pavilion. It's a hidden gem that's both educational and fun for all ages. 

    For a nighttime experience that truly feels magical, consider the Starlight Safari at Animal Kingdom Lodge. You'll ride in a safari vehicle through the savanna using night vision goggles. It's such a fun way to connect with Disney's wildlife after dark.

    If your idea of special includes great food with a spectacular view, you'll love the Rose & Crown Fireworks Dining Package at EPCOT. You'll enjoy a delicious dinner with reserved patio seating right on the World Showcase Lagoon, offering one of the best views of Luminous The Symphony of Us

    Another standout is Celebration at the Top – Sip, Savor, Sparkle, held atop Disney's Contemporary Resort. This upscale evening includes appetizers and desserts, plus cocktails and wine, followed by a viewing of Happily Ever After from the private observation deck. 

    Alright Amanda...I hope these ideas have helped spark some inspiration as you plan a special experience for your family. If any other questions come up along the way, just know you're always welcome as can be at planDisney!

    Magic Awaits,

    Kami
