Welcome to planDisney, Shelly! In just a few more days, you'll be arriving for a grand adventure at the Most Magical Place on Earth! A stay at
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has always been at the top of my Disney bucket list, so I'm excited to see that you'll be immersed in the beauty of this deluxe resort for your stay - be sure to grab brunch at the
Grand Floridian Cafe if you have the time (the chicken and waffles is my favorite!)
Shelly, if you've booked your resort stay as part of a
Disney vacation package, you are eligible to receive complimentary luggage tags and a
Magical Extras card as part of your package. These are generally sent by mail to guests about two weeks before check-in, but it does sometimes happen that they don't get mailed out before your visit. If you do not receive them before you leave home, just stop by the front desk at your Disney Resort hotel and request them there - the Cast Members will be happy to pixie dust you with these magical goodies! Some of your Magical Extras entitlements will even show up in your My Disney Experience account, like your vouchers to play a round of miniature golf at either
Disney's Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Course or
Disney's Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course!
And speaking of pixie dust, there are so many additional special
benefits that come with your stay as a Disney Resort hotel guest! From
Early Theme Park Entry which grants you admission to the theme parks 30 minutes before park opening every day to the
complimentary water park admission on your check-in day, it's easy to get lost in all of the magic that surrounds you! Also, because you're staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort, you have the benefit of late-night magic on select nights during
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours, an exclusive perk for deluxe resort guests! For me, there's nothing more magical than shutting down a park and enjoying the quiet magic after a busy day!
Shelly, I hope this is helpful! If you have any other questions before you set off on your vacation, or while you're enjoying the Most Magical Place on Earth, come see us again at
planDisney! We're here to help you find the magic every step of the way!
See you real soon,
Alison
