    Planning a family vacation and would like to do a presentation video and invitations for our family as a surprise, do you have any digital materials we can use for this? Or some help to make it really special

    Hi there Stacey, Welcome back to planDisney! Thank you for stopping by with your excellent question. I'm thrilled to assist you! It sounds like you're gearing up for a trip to Walt Disney World Resort. You're sure to make some excellent memories at the Most Magical Place on Earth!

    Creating a special presentation video to announce a Disney trip to your family, along with custom invitations, is a wonderful idea! First I would suggest choosing a concept and theme. Choose a theme that resonates with your family’s favorite Disney characters, movies, or parks. For example, if your family loves, my personal favorite, The Lion King, you could use that as your theme, with African inspired elements and Animal Kingdom references.  Decide on a simple storyline or narrative for the video. For instance, you could present it as a mystery to be revealed or a magical adventure.

    Once you've decided on your concept and theme, I'd suggest coming up with a script and start storyboarding. Start with a heartwarming introduction, perhaps showing past Disney adventures, your excitement for Disney, or something that resonates with your family. Gradually build up to the reveal of the Disney trip, maybe through a magical discovery or by solving a series of clues in the video. End with the announcement of the trip dates and a call to action for the family to open their custom invitations.

    Collect family photos and videos from previous Disney trips, if you can, or moments that evoke excitement about Disney. Consider using short clips from Disney movies or Disney themed music to add magic to the video. If you’re comfortable, narrate the video yourself to add a personal touch. You could also use text overlays for key messages.

    Design the invitations to match the theme of your video. You can create them using any design software. Consider adding elements such as Mickey Mouse ears, castle silhouettes, or park icons. Include a personalized message in each invitation, addressing each family member and building anticipation for the trip. Also decide whether you want to send these invitations as physical cards or digitally as part of the video.

    Consider filming your family’s reactions to the video and the invitations, so you can keep those memories. After the reveal, you can create a countdown to the trip with a special calendar or app, building excitement as the date approaches. This approach will help you create a magical and memorable experience for your family, making the announcement of your Disney trip extra special!

    I hope you find this information helpful Stacey, thank you again for visiting planDisney. Have a magical day!
