Luxury Travel at Disney World
When people think of a Disney World trip, some have a tendency to think about long lines, eating too many chicken fingers, and generally rushing around. We're here to tell you that luxury travel at Disney is possible... and we'll show you how!
Our advisors have experienced much of what Disney has to offer and can make excellent recommendations to add to your trip. These recommendations take a great trip straight to a fabulous trip. We take a huge amount of pride in the amount of clients that come to us to book their "one and done" Disney trip to check the box for their kids - only to return from their trip and book another one because they had such a great experience.
Here are a few of our favorite recommendations....
Your Resort Matters!
While the price tag dictates what resort many choose for their trip, if you're looking for a more luxurious experience, we will recommend some resorts over others. The option of Club Level Services, transportation options, overall ambiance, dining choices, and available resort experiences can weigh heavily on your trip experience.
VIP Tours
VIP Tours are highly sought-after experiences and have risen in popularity in recent years. While they can be costly upfront, the experience they deliver is amazing! Private transportation, personal tour guide, minimal lines, and attention to detail allow you to fit so many things into your day!
Behind the Scenes Tours and Encounters
Keys to the Kingdom, Caring for Giants, Savor the Savannah are just a few of the specialty experiences Disney offers. These experiences take you "backstage" at Disney World and take you up close to things you would normally not be able to get near. Most recently I experienced the Caring for Giants tour with my daughter and left with much more knowledge than I ever thought we would obtain that day.
Cabana Rentals
We regularly stress the importance of scheduling in some down time while onsite at Disney World. While it's tempting to keep going and try to accomplish 'everything", we encourage our clients to give their families some downtime to relax before heading back to the parks. Children and adults can easily be overwhelmed with all that is available on a vacation like Disney, and having some chill time is the perfect cure!
A day at the resort pool is great, but why not take it to the next level and rent a fabulous poolside cabana for the day? The accommodations spoil you from the moment you arrive and continue until you depart. Reserved space, shade, comfortable furniture, a fan, tv, charging station, mini refrigerator stocked with drinks, snack basket, fruit tray and desserts delivered, and private wait staff are just a bit of what we enjoyed. After experiencing it once, we bet you will want to add it to every future trip because there is no going back! *Note: Cabana rentals are only available at select Disney resorts.
Spa Time
Another great use of some time on your rest day is a visit to the amazing spas on property at Disney. Rest your poor tired feet, relax your sore back, or treat yourself to a facial or nail service with one of the amazing treatments offered at Senses.
While both locations are fantastic, my personal favorite is the Grand Floridian location. This is just a short walk from the Cabana rentals at the Beach Pool, meaning Mom and Dad can tag team each taking a turn at the spa while the kids enjoy the pool. (Yes, this is the voice of experience, and yes, it makes for a fabulous day that we can’t wait to repeat!!)
Dining Reservations
It’s no secret that some of our favorite dining experiences aren’t located in the parks at all. Let us introduce you to some of our favorite bars, lounges, and restaurants in various locations throughout all of Disney! The restaurants available at Disney are world class with some of the best chefs around. When we plan your trip, we promise you won’t be eating pizza, chicken tenders and hot dogs every day (unless you want to of course)!
Fireworks Dessert Parties, Dessert Cruises, or Pontoon Boat Rentals
Everyone wants to enjoy the fireworks in the evening, but finding a spot and navigating the crowds can be daunting at the end of a long day! Let us schedule you for a fireworks dessert party, cruise, or private pontoon boat rental. All of these options give you a great viewing location while saving you from the hustle and bustle. To enjoy the fireworks from a boat, access to the park would not even be needed, meaning this could be scheduled for a day without park tickets, making it an even better value.
