Welcome to planDisney, Michele. First, my deepest condolences on the loss of your mother. She sounds generous and thoughtful, so I'm sure you miss her. I can't think of a better way to pay tribute to her generosity than to plan a magical vacation in her honor, so let's look at how you can use those
Walt Disney World Resort theme park tickets.
Since I don't know the details of the particular tickets in your account, I recommend you call the
Existing Tickets line as soon as possible. Please have your account and ticket information, and the Cast Members can work their magic to let you know your options. I'm waving my Fairy Godmother wand so that your family can start planning a fabulous trip using those tickets.
If you're visiting this spring, my top tip is to spend some time at the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. The beautiful plants and topiaries make delightful photos, and I always stroll through the
Butterfly Landing display. My mom loved butterflies and ladybugs, so I like to remember her in that way. Our moms are always with us, Michele.
Your family might brainstorm ideas to pay tribute to your mother's generosity during your visit. My husband and I randomly handed out Disney trinkets on our recent trip. The guests and Cast Members were surprised and touched by the tiny gesture, so that could make special memories for your kids. You could also eat at a restaurant serving your mother's
favorite cuisine or take photos with a Disney character she liked.
Michele, I'm sprinkling pixie dust your way. I know your visit might be bittersweet, but I'm sure your mom would be pleased for you to enjoy her gift. Please
stop by planDisney anytime.
Magic awaits,
Elaine
