"Dreams come true" means a million different things to a million different people, and Walt Disney World guest services truly tries to fulfill each and every one. Disney World is home to dozens of activities and experiences that have nothing to do with cartoons or rides. No matter what your ultimate Disney dream, it's likely that you can make it happen in Walt Disney World.
Disney World Wedding
From intimate gatherings for 20 to the most elaborate fairy tale you can imagine, Walt Disney World can host the wedding of your dreams. Disney's wedding planners are equipped to provide you with special Disney details for your special day, in many different venues across the property. Whether you'd like a small gathering in the wedding pavilion on the lake or want to ride in Cinderella's Coach, complete with white horses and footman, to the castle itself, your wedding and reception can be personalized to your own taste and personality.
Foodie's Dream
If you live for unique cuisine and extraordinary flavor, spend a foodie vacation in Walt Disney World. Schedule your trip in the fall during Epcot's Food & Wine Festival. Spend your afternoons at this celebration of world cuisine, tasting dishes from around the globe. Reserve your evenings for special meals at the best restaurants on property like California Grill, Wave and Cat Cora's Kouzzina. Finish your trip with a perfect evening at the chef's table in Victoria & Albert's, Florida's only AAA Five Diamond restaurant.
Animal Lover's Paradise
Reserve a room with a savanna view in Animal Kingdom Lodge, and you'll begin your animal-loving adventure on the right note. These rooms overlook the wildlife preserve, so there's no telling what sort of wildlife will be feeding right outside your balcony every morning. Schedule a ride with the special safari trip, and you'll see the African wildlife up close and personal. Set aside one afternoon to experience Epcot Divequest. This three-hour experience will allow you to dive with sharks, sea turtles, dolphins, eagle rays and other forms of life -- 60 species in all.
We Never Dreamed We Could Afford Disney World
Many families would love a Disney World vacation but are convinced they'll never be able to afford it. With some diligent searching for deals and a bit of creativity, many families can afford more than they dreamed in Mickey's World. Look for a condo to rent right outside the parks. Many rent for a surprisingly low price for the week. Your condo will include a full kitchen, removing any need to eat expensive Disney food. Purchase two- or three-day passes to the parks, and avoid park hopper options. Plan to spend full days in each park of interest, and bring a backpack full of food and bottled water each day. Spend your off days visiting the lobbies of the deluxe Disney hotels, walking around Downtown Disney, horseback riding, or one of the many other free or inexpensive forms of entertainment in the area.
