Dear Terry,
Thank you so much for reaching out to us here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your great question about planning a surprise for your daughter!
I love surprises, and I think Walt Disney World Resort is one of the most magical places to have the experience of this kind of surprise! The first suggestion that popped into my mind is that of staying at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort, which is highly themed with animator drawings and sketches.
Another terrific opportunity would be to sign up for
Dine with an Imagineer at The Hollywood Brown Derby or at
Citricos! That would be such an amazing time for her to hear from someone who might share similar interests and career path as your daughter.
For another splurge that would take her behind the scenes at Walt Disney World Resort, you might consider a tour such as
Backstage Magic! That tour offers a unique look at how the magic happens and might be a great fit for a budding Imagineer!
Hope that helps with your magical planning!
