Welcome back to planDisney, Lisa! What a magical celebration for your husband to visit the Walt Disney World Resort for his upcoming birthday! Be sure to grab a Celebration Button at the front desk of your Disney Resort hotel to invite Guests and Cast Members alike to share in the birthday revelry!
Lisa, Guests who book a vacation package at the Walt Disney World Resort, which includes a stay at a
Disney Resort hotel bundled with Theme Park tickets receive some pretty exciting
benefits! Among those is the
Magical Extras you mentioned - these are money-saving vouchers for select dining and recreational experiences throughout the resort area. Typically, Guests can expect to collect these vouchers at the front desk of their Disney Resort hotel at check-in time, but sometimes they do come in the mail about two weeks before your visit! For my most recent visit, which included a vacation package at
Disney's All-Star Music Resort, I did receive the Magical Extras voucher cards in the mail along with my
MagicBand+ order and my
complimentary luggage tags! If you order MagicBands, be sure to check underneath them in the box for these extras! If you don't receive them in advance, just stop by the front desk when you arrive to request them from a Cast Member!
Some of my favorite extras are the complimentary rounds of miniature golf at either
Disney's Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Course (my favorite is the winter side!) or
Disney's Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course, and my teenage daughters love the shopping discounts at some of their favorite stores like Kendra Scott in
Disney Springs!
Lisa, your visit will also coincide with the start of fall celebrations, including
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! I'm looking forward to attending this event in September and celebrating with all the Mickey-shaped pumpkin goodies, trick or treating in Magic Kingdom Park, and Halloween entertainment being offered at this special event! If you have the chance to attend, I highly recommend it!
I hope this helps you as you finalize your plans for a most magical birthday celebration! The most magical extra of all is making special memories with your very own happily ever after, and I'm wishing you the best moments that become lifelong memories together!
See you real soon,
Alison
