Character dining at the Disneyland Resort is quite a bit different than at Disney World. Because the resort is a bit smaller, there aren’t quite as many options to choose from. But once you experience the character meals, you’ll love the Disneyland difference!! There are two types of character meals at Disneyland – character meals and premium character meals. Vouchers for both types can be added to your vacation package (ask your Travel with the Magic Travel Planner for more information). Premium meals include Ariel’s Grotto and Goofy’s Kitchen, while the standard character meals are Minnie & Friends Breakfast - [...]

Character meet and greets are a main attraction at Disney, and I love them! I have my favorites that I go see every year! I have so much fun with them by just holding simple conversations, and here is my secret tip on how you can have memorable interactions, too! Be Creative! The Characters are more than willing to talk, you just need to provide a topic! I try to find something that is personal to me but that can also relate to the character. Being creative helps them interact since they see so many people throughout the day! [...]

When planning a trip to Disney most of my clients think they will be eating burgers, nuggets and pizza for most of their trip, but surprisingly Disney offers over 140 total restaurants (ranging from snacks to AAA Five Diamond) that just may be some of the best meals they’ve ever eaten. For the ultimate experience you can combine a great meal with Disney characters. This way in a little over an hour you can meet 4-5 characters and eat. Tusker House is a buffet character dining option located in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park that is a must do on my [...]

Everyone has a story. Everyone who has been on any kind of Disney vacation has a Magical story. You know what I am talking about; those extra doses of Magic (or Pixie Dust) that make any Disney trip extra special, the experiences that keep you wanting to come back and keep you telling stories again and again. Maybe it was a cast member who went above and beyond, maybe it was an extra magical encounter with your favorite character or a special phone call from Mickey. I absolutely love hearing these types of stories, so I thought I’d share some [...]
