    Hello We are planning a trip with our 3 kids in December to celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary. Please suggest how can we make our trip memorable. Also suggest where can I get more information about the trip like lodging and dining deals. Thansk

    Welcome to planDisney, Omarr! You've come to the right place to find some advice and help in making magical memories for your family this holiday season, and I'm so excited to share some tips with you to get you started on your planning!

    With so many Disney Resort hotel choices, you're sure to find one that matches your family's vacation style, budget, and interests! Take a look at the helpful planDisney Resort Pocket Guides online to learn about the features and amenities of all of the Disney Resort hotels as you navigate which one will work best for you! My family loves to choose a new hotel each visit so we can try to experience them all while taking advantage of the benefits and perks like Early Theme Park Entry, streamlined advance dining reservations, and complimentary transportation to get us where we are going quickly and efficiently!

    Omarr, I'm always looking for money-saving deals when I plan a vacation, so I'm always sure to keep an eye on the Special Offers available during my vacation! If you notice a discount offer after you have already booked your vacation package, you can even modify your existing reservation to include that new special offer!

    As far as making your trip memorable, I have a few suggestions I'd love to share:
    • Since you'll be visiting during the holidays, attend Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party one night at Magic Kingdom Park! This event is truly magical as it transforms the park into a winter wonderland complete with a Christmas parade, special seasonal fireworks show, and snow falling down on Main Street, U.S.A.
    • Book a unique dining experience like a character meal (brunch at Topolino's Terrace is my favorite!) or my absolute can't-miss dining experience, the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue! Once the Pioneer Players find out you're celebrating an anniversary, they'll have the whole audience cheering you and your happily ever after on with a spotlight dance and serenade!
    • Check out some of the Enchanting Extras available for some unique recreational and artistic experiences, a Starlight Safari, or maybe a fireworks dessert party or fireworks pontoon cruise on the water!
    • Be sure to purchase the Memory Maker to capture all of the special memories you make! Stop by the Disney PhotoPass Studio at Disney Springs to capture some anniversary and updated family photos with a little extra Disney flair! There's no appointment necessary and no charge for stopping in, and all of your photo downloads are included with your Memory Maker purchase!
    Omarr, I hope this is a helpful start! There's a lot of magic waiting for you and your family, and if you have any other questions or need any other recommendations as you plan, don't hesitate to reach back out and ask! You've got a friend in me and I'm excited to see all the magic you're going to uncover!

    See you real soon,
    Alison
