What better opportunity to spoil the grandchildren than a trip
to “The Most Magical Place on Earth”. And spoil them
you can with so many things to see and do that children as well
as adults will absolutely love. It’s a vacation guaranteed
to create lasting memories. Here are some suggestions that will
make this very special trip one to remember for a lifetime:
Book a Resort with a Great Pool
Kids love swimming pools, and Disney resorts come with some of the
best. Children’s favorites: the Volcano Pool at Disney’s
Polynesian Resort featuring a smoking volcano slide, underwater
music, and sparkling waterfall, all with a superb view of the Seven
Seas Lagoon; the Wilderness Lodge’s boulder-lined pool featuring
glistening waterfalls, rocky overlooks, a fun water slide, and nearby
geyser; the eye-popping Stormalong Bay, a mini-water park complex
that meanders between the Yacht and Beach Club, offering three acres
of winding, watery delight including sandy bottom pools, a giant
“shipwreck” waterslide, tidal whirlpool, bubbling hot
tubs, a kiddie pool with its own slide next to the beach, and enough
length to float lazily in inner tubes to your heart’s delight.
Start Your Day Together at a Character Breakfast
If you’re traveling with young children, at least one or two
character meals are a must. These extremely popular dining spots,
offered at both the theme parks and the Disney resort hotels, are
a perfect way for the grandchildren to spend extra time with their
favorite characters. Young ladies don their favorite Disney princess
costumes at Restaurant Akershus in Epcot’s Norway pavilion
to dine with Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and Belle, while both
boys and girls alike adore the Fantasyland breakfast offered at
the Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella’s Castle. Just be sure
to call 407-WDW-DINE exactly 90 days prior at 7 a.m. Eastern time
to assure yourselves a spot at these coveted venues.
Head Over to Ft. Wilderness for a Campfire Sing-along
Gather 'round the campfire each evening at Disney’s Ft. Wilderness
for a sing-along, marshmallow roast, and a Disney animated movie.
It’s complimentary to all Walt Disney World resort guests.
Start Your Day Early at the Magic Kingdom
Each morning one of Disney’s theme parks opens an hour early
only for guests staying at a Disney resort. The Magic Kingdom’s
early open days are Sunday and Thursday, a perfect opportunity to
knock off the children’s attractions in Fantasyland where
waits can sometimes be extremely lengthy during normal park hours.
Don’t Miss the Magic Kingdom’s Afternoon Parade
and Evening Fireworks Presentation
The wonderful Share a Dream Come True parade is Disney’s best
where giant floats topped with rotating globes, twinkling lights,
and live Disney characters are accompanied by over a hundred walking
characters and a medley of classic Disney songs. And the Jiminy
Cricket narrated nighttime fireworks display is probably the most
magical experience in all of Disney.
Take a Spin on a WaterMouse Boat
Rent one of these two-seater mini-power boats for zipping around
one of Disney’s waterways. The grandkids will love you for
it. They’re available at the Contemporary, Polynesian, Grand
Floridian, the Yacht and Beach Club, Downtown Disney, and the Wilderness
Lodge.
Head to a Water Park for a Splashing Good Time
Disney has two of the most fantastic water parks imaginable, Blizzard
Beach and Typhoon Lagoon, each offering their own brand of wonder.
At Blizzard Beach you’ll find quite a few tame attractions
along with wild, rushing water and death-defying slides. Typhoon
Lagoon offers a whopper of a surf pool. But both have wonderful
children’s areas with smaller versions of the adult attractions.
There are even areas for the adolescent set
