What Will You Celebrate? Disney World Adds Gifting Option

Disney’s new What Will You Celebrate? promotion is encouraging guests to celebrate their special events in the theme parks this year. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, or just passing your driving test you can personalise ‘gifts’ to make your vacation even more special. Now with the thanks of the Disney.com website anyone can organise a gift for you to receive even if they won’t be visiting Disney World with you. Here’s what Disney had to say about it:

During “What Will You Celebrate?” inviting Disney Parks guests to turn their personal milestones into magical Disney experiences, ways for guests to customize and personalize a visit are endless.

With everything from fireworks cruises, street parties and behind-the-scenes tours to specialty cakes and in-room decorations to choose from, guests who have decided their answer to “What Will You Celebrate?” have more choices as they ponder, “How will I celebrate?”

The fun is nonstop, too, with a party spirit stamping the new “Move It! Shake It! Celebrate It!” street party in Magic Kingdom. Floats, a cast of Disney characters, stilt walkers and more “move it” down Main Street, U.S.A. accompanied by high-energy tunes and an open invitation to guests to come join the fun.

Main Street, U.S.A. also is home to the “Celebrate a Dream Come True” parade, a tweaked send-up of the former “Dreams Come True” parade with changes to some of the floats and soundtracks and the grand marshal in the lead role. Singers and dancers as before invite guests lining the parade route to come join in the celebration.

With all there is to do in Disney parks, guests can tailor a celebration with favorite attractions, favorite characters and special experiences.  Thanks to new Web planning tools, learning about available choices and then customizing a “celebration vacation” itinerary – or “gifting” a celebrating family member or friend with a personalized Disney experience – is easier than ever. Through www.disneyparks.com, guests (or their travel agents) choose the celebration destination – Disneyland Resort in California or Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. With a click, they access an interactive online celebration “planner” to shop the many experiences that are a cornerstone of a “celebration vacation” at Disney Parks – experiences that transform guests into the stars of their own party whether the occasion is a birthday, anniversary, Quinceañera, personal triumph or any celebration.

Now there is also a way to participate in a guest’s upcoming celebration visit when you can’t be there: by “gifting.” The giver reviews the possibilities using the online planner, then calls a Disney Dream Maker to personalize and customize the gift.  At Walt Disney World Resort, Dream Makers can be reached at 407/WDW-GIFT.

What gift would you like to receive? I think I’m ready for a backstage tour, or maybe a fireworks cruise!
