Written by Magical Tripcations Team Magical moments both big and small happen every day at Walt Disney World. What could be more romantic and magical than getting engaged at the most magical place on earth? But where do you start? Do you just “wing it” in front of Cinderella Castle with a few thousand of your closest friends? It’s nerve-racking enough to reach the point of proposing. And saying it OUT LOUD to friends and family that you intend to make your princess your wife…and hope she says yes…can be down-right daunting! Needless to say, planning the perfect proposal can be overwhelming! Sounds like work for a Fairy Godmother. Recently, a Magical Tripcations client facing this task took a big step towards going from boyfriend to betrothed with the help of his own Fairy Godmother. Well, a Fairy Godmother he found in the form of a Magical Tripcations Travel Planner. Meet prince charming, our client Jonathan, and his Fairy Godmother, Mary-Morning, a Magical Tripcations Travel Planner. Mary-Morning and Jonathan had already been hard at work planning he and his girlfriend’s vacation to Disney World when he contacted Mary-Morning with the exciting news. Jonathan knew that he wanted to get down on one knee and propose to his love. He knew beyond a doubt who he wanted to marry but he needed the how and where to propose and the magic. Instead of winging the proposal on his own, he needed a little extra help to plan this one last enchanting detail for their upcoming trip. Mary-Morning went to work to find the most romantic way her client could propose...

Written by Jennifer Jamieson – Magical Tripcations Travel Planner Do you remember the first time you met Mickey Mouse? Or do you know someone who dreams of meeting their favorite princess or a character from a galaxy far, far away? A trip to Walt Disney World© is as magical as it is memorable and no experience adds to the magic more than meeting your favorite character, princess, or villain. However, quite a bit has changed over the years when it comes to meeting Mickey and the gang. Most characters do not roam the parks but have set spots or venues where they reside and you line up to meet them, grab an autograph and snap a picture. There are four Disney Parks at Disney World and not all characters can be found at one single park. Being prepared ahead of time with an idea of which characters are at the top of the list will save you time and ensure that you capture moments with the favorites on your list. So, where do you start? Before leaving for the house of the mouse, do a little research on where to find the characters you are most interested in meeting. You can find information on specific park attractions, shows and character meet and greets on the Walt Disney World© website. Or you can ask one of us! To help you in your quest to meet Mickey, a Princess or two, Chewbacca or Winnie the Pooh, here are our go-to resources for character hunting at Disney World and tips to magical moments. Minnie is so sweet! Character Meet and Greets Each...

Written by Jennifer Jamieson – Magical Tripcations Travel Planner “Welcome Home! We’re so glad you joined us at the Most Magical Place on Earth! Tap your MagicBand here and take a stroll down Main Street, U.S.A. and on to your first FastPass+ reservation! If you need directions, reference this park map or the My Disney Experience App for up to minute wait times and interactive park maps. Have a magical day!” If you followed right along with this conversation, congrats! You are fluent in ‘Disney Speak’ as this is just one example of any conversation you could have with a Cast Member at Magic Kingdom Park or a similar one at the other theme parks. When we speak with someone about a Walt Disney World® Resort vacation, we quickly find ourselves speaking ‘Disney’…terms and phrases like “FastPass+”, “ADRs”, “Rope Drop”, “Extra Magic Hours” and the like. It must sound like we’re speaking another language and to a guest that hasn’t been to the park in years or if ever, we are. After all, it is Disney WORLD and it makes sense that the World of Walt would have it’s own special language. Let’s take a closer look at ‘Disney Speak’ and the top 10 terms you need to know. 10. Memory Maker – This photo package can be added to your Disney vacation package. Guests who purchase Memory Maker will have online access to any photos taken by a Disney PhotoPass Photographer throughout their trip; access to all photos and videos taken while riding on select attractions.
