Experience that I Would Do Again!

Hi Companions, 

Susan here! This week, I wanted to talk to y'all about the add-on experiences that I would do again! I have to be honest, aside from character experiences I haven't done ALL of the experiences but I have done a few and in my personal opinion, these are my favorites. Without further adieu...

1.  Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

Although this was expensive, my niece's face lit up when she got to do this. It was like she was in a special club of girls that got to experience this magical adventure and hear about the story of Tinkerbell and just have a pamper hour or so to herself. 

Also, I don't know if this is common knowledge or not, but there is also a knight transformation as well if your prince or princess would like to go for THAT option as well. Instead of pixie dust, I believe the knight gets sword shavings or something of that nature. This is something I wish I knew because my nephew would have MUCH preferred this option. 

Magical Tip - 

Buy the dress before hand. Disney gives you an opportunity to change into your gown first before starting the make over. The Disney Store had a much cheaper, and in my opinion, much prettier, longer version of the dress given. 

2. Fantasmic Dining Pass Add On 

I know what you're thinking...you're thinking..."you are just trying to sell me on this, so you can sell me something." No, I'm not. In reality, I bought this knowing my family WOULD NOT wait in that crazy line to get into the Fantasmic without an incentive, and boy was I right? We were almost late for the show but did we get AMAZING seats? YEP! We got to stay out longer, while still seeing this AMAZING show! Fantasmic is an experience that you do NOT want to miss while at any park but especially at Disney World. It's like a firework, water and projector and character show all in one. It is magical and a GREAT way to top or end your stay at Disney. 

Magical Tip - 

Parents THIS is the time you bring the glow bracelets and thing BEFORE you got to the park to save some money. 

3. Jedi Training -

This was so cute, interactive and extremely fun to watch. It is SO cute that they get to put on the cloak and be a Jedi. This ABSOLUTELY FREE experience is just about being at Hollywood Studios for rope drop and getting to Indiana Jones Outpost ASAP!

Magical Tip -

If you pick one of the last shows, you can see the light sabers light up more and there are extra lights added. Still light outside and is an amazing show! :)  

4. Experience Disney During Major Holidays

I know this isn't necessarily a singular experience but Disney knows how to do holidays! Well to be honest, not Thanksgiving but definitely Halloween and Christmas! My FAVORITE day is to go when they change EVERYTHING seemingly and actually overnight. The Christmas tree goes up and A LOT of the rides have changed too. Even the castle gets a special twinkle..

Magical Tip - Christmas Card photos from the professionals in front of the tree with the family! :) GO EARLY or STAY LATE!

There are SO many extra things you can do at Disney to make your stay more magical. These are the things I can speak on and have done within the last year or so. Companions, I hope I can add more and more to this list of goodies so I can update you later on some awesome adventure. I might do a post on things I would LIKE to do. Comment below on things you've done extra to enhance your experience that you think I should do.
