Summer vacation is right around the corner! As our guests are making their final preparations for their upcoming Disney Vacations, we thought we would share a few “must pack” items for your packing list.
We turned to our experts for help! To keep from having a list a mile long, we skipped over some of the general items you’d find on a typical list – like sunscreen, toothpaste, comfortable shoes, etc. Instead, we focused on those items that after reading the list, you’ll likely say “I would have never thought of that!”
Without further ado, we present:
There you have it – but this is just the start of it! With countless trips and years of experience at Disney Destinations, our Magic Makers® have many more tips and tricks to share with their clients. Contact us today to start planning your next Magical vacation!
One thing cruises have always been known for is their food! From buffets to table service meals, there is always another opportunity to eat!
Disney Cruise Line® sails above the industry standards when it comes to dining. Each of their four ships has uniquely themed restaurants that are as delightful as they are delicious. Disney Cruise Line® pioneered the rotational dining experience. Guests will “rotate” to a different restaurant each night of their sailing, giving them an opportunity to appreciate all the tastes and experiences on board. The best part is that your servers “rotate” with you, providing you with familiar and personalized service each night! Having crew members that already know your dining preferences and dietary restrictions makes for a much more enjoyable dining experience. And outside of the restaurants, guests have access to buffets, quick service locations, and 24-hour room service which is included in their fare.

Guests visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios® during Star Wars Weekend can once again take part in the Star Wars – D-Tech Me experience.
Using the world’s highest-resolution 3D face scanner, the experience captures an image of the guest that will be later turned into a figurine using a 3D printer (which guests receive 7-8 weeks later at their home). Last years option to “cast yourself in Carbonite” will be offered again this year along with a new option to turn yourself into a Stormtrooper.
The experience takes place inside Darth’s Mall (near Rock ‘n Roller Coaster® Starring Aerosmith). Cost is $99.95 plus shipping and tax and includes either a Carbon-Freeze Me light-up band or a collector button. As this is a limited experience that can only accommodate a certain number of guests, advance reservations are highly suggested so contact your Magic Maker® today. The experience will only be available during Star Wars Weekends which runs just Friday – Sunday from May 17 to June 9, 2013.
Separate theme park admission required for Disney’s Hollywood Studios®. Guests must be at least three (3) years of age to participate. A valid accepted credit card number is required at time of booking. No-shows or in the event a reservation is cancelled within 48 hours of scheduled experience will result in such credit card being charged a $25 cancellation fee. The experience, due to its personalized nature, is non-refundable and not eligible for an exchange. Children must be accompanied by an adult at least 18 years of age or older during the entire experience. Certain restrictions may apply. All prices, components and information are subject to change without notice.

Aboard every Disney Cruise Line® sailing, guests get to see their beloved Disney characters come to life on stage at the Walt Disney Theatre. Each night of your sailing, Disney Cruise Line® features some form of world-class family entertainment inside the Theatre – ranging from comedians and magicians to the popular Broadway-style shows. Guests of all ages will be delighted by the extraordinary singing, dancing, costumes, special effects, and sheer magic displayed on stage.

Last Friday, Disney Cruise Line® announced plans for a major refurbishment of their original ship, Disney Magic®. From stem to stern, the vessel will be updated with new adventures and features for its guests to enjoy. Click here for a summary of all the changes that will take place this fall.
The upper decks of the Disney Magic® will be redesigned to provide “splashtacular fun” for guests of all ages! The biggest addition (and the one that is getting the most ‘buzz’) is the AquaDunk, a three-story body slide that begins with a surprise launch. It all starts when the rider steps into a translucent tube to await a near-vertical launch when the floor beneath them gives way. Their wet and wild ride from deck 13 to deck 10 even takes them 20 feet over the side of the ship, allowing a glimpse at the ocean 112 feet below! It will be a totally new and unique experience from the AquaDuck which is available on the Disney Dream® and the Disney Fantasy®. Safety precautions will require guests to be over 48″ to experience the AquaDunk.
The former Mickey’s Pool area will be transformed into the AquaLab, an interactive water playground similar to the one found on the Disney Fantasy®. Open to children ages 3 and up, the AquaLab features pop jets, geysers, and bubblers to ensure everyone gets their share of wetness! For sailors between 38″ and 64″ tall, a new Twist n’ Spout slide will be installed.
Also being reimagined is Mickey’s Splash Zone, which will become Nephews’ Splash Zone. Available exclusively for guests up to age 3, it is an area themed after Donald Duck’s nephews – Huey, Dewey, and Louie – and will provide a place for tots to cool off!
Additional poolside fun will be available on Deck Nine for families at Goofy’s Pool and for adults at the Quiet Cove Pool.
Whether your definition of “fun in the sun” consists of a tranquil day lounging poolside in a deck chair or an exhilarating ride in the new AquaDunk, it will all be waiting for you on the Upper Decks of the newly reimagined Disney Magic® when it debuts Oct. 10, 2013!
Concept art – actual construction may vary.

There is something magical about seeing the 3 o’clock parade at Magic Kingdom® Park! Whether young or old, no visit would be complete without watching it.
The Walt Disney World® Resort has announced that in Spring of 2014, the Celebrate A Dream Come True Parade will be replaced by Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade. The new daytime parade will bring the magical stories of New Fantasyland™ onto the streets of Main Street, U.S.A®. Brand new parade floats, costuming, and an original soundtrack will highlight the stories of Sleeping Beauty, Dumbo, Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid, Pinocchio, Tangled, Brave, and others.
We will bring you more details about Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade as they become available. In the meantime, enjoy these concept renderings of three of the floats.
