Hey there, hi there, ho there, Wren.
You’re as welcome as can be at planDisney! Oh boy, I am beyond excited for you to experience your magical
Walt Disney World Resort vacation next yEAR as a grown-up Mouseketeer! So much has changed since you visited 23 years ago, but the magic is the same as it always was.
You and your husband are more than welcome to pick up that First Visit button when you arrive, and I absolutely recommend you do. You can get a First Visit button at the
Front Desk of your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, at most
merchandise locations on property, or at the
Guest Relations locations in the theme parks. Wear your button proudly, Wren! We’re all kids at heart, so there’s no shame in doing so. When you get home, you can glue some ribbon to the back of your buttons and turn them into ornaments. It will be a sweet reminder of your magical adventure together.
Another fun memento you can get is a personalized Mickey ear hat. If you head over to Box Office Gifts in
Town Square Theater in
Magic Kingdom Park, you can get it embroidered with the words “First Visit” on the back. My husband and I did this on our first trip together, and we keep those ears at the center of our fireplace mantle now. It’s nice to look up and be reminded of that magical trip over and over again.
Our mantle is also filled with framed snapshots of the memories we’ve made at our “home” away from home over the years. This is thanks to
Disney PhotoPass and
Memory Maker. Disney PhotoPass photographers can be found throughout the theme parks and Resorts. They’ll snap fabulous photos of you throughout your trip that will be
linked to your My Disney Experience account. If you purchase Memory Maker, you’ll have unlimited downloads of all your photos and a release that allows you to print your photos. Trust me, you will want to be able to look back on your pictures for years to come!
Wren, I hope this information helps. Please stop by
planDisney again if you have any other questions. Embrace your inner child and have the time of your life with your Prince Charming at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
Until next time,
Alyssa
