Dining reservation changes are in effect!

UPDATED!

The current word is that the 90-day reservation window that has been in effect is permanent.  Stay tuned!

The Walt Disney World® Resort is in the process of setting up a new system for making dining and other recreational reservations.  During the change from happening through sometime in late November 2008, you will only be able to make dining reservations for meals through mid-late March 2009.  In late November, the reservation process will return to the 180-day window that is currently in place.  The exceptions to the interim change are Victoria and Albert’s Restaurant, Cinderella’s Royal Table, and Chef Mickey’s Restaurant, all of which will maintain the current 180-day reservation process.

Disney reports that in the future, dining reservations will be able to be made online but they haven’t released a date for when that change will take effect.  That is exciting news!

Remember that GototheMouse.com will gladly suggest and reserve all of your table service (aka sit-down meals) for you, at no charge, when you make your Disney travel reservations with us.  Why spend your valuable time and money on the phone when we are here to take care of those details for you?

Help me plan my Disney vacation!

You’ve decided that the Walt Disney World® Resort is where you’re going for your next vacation.  First let me say that’s a great choice!  You do a little research to pick your hotel and look at ticket pricing.  Quickly you become overwhelmed with the myriad of options that you have to choose from.  Value or Deluxe?  One park per day or hopping?  Dining plan or pay out of pocket?  Summer or fall?  YIKES!

Let me help.  I will listen to what you want out of your upcoming vacation.  I’ll work with you to find out your family’s likes and dislikes.  Then I’ll guide you toward the best choices for each piece of your vacation.  Sometimes a dining plan is best but sometimes it isn’t.  Maybe you have the misconception that Epcot® is only for adults.  Do you need help understanding how to travel to the Theme Parks from your hotel?  What restaurants are a must?  Do you need dining reservations?  Maybe you’ve got a special tour in mind.  Visiting for a honeymoon, birthday or anniversary?  Let me make it extra special!

I want to help you have the magical vacation that you deserve and are paying for.  I don’t charge any extra fees for my service and I won’t push you toward anything that you don’t need.  What do you have to lose?  I love all things Disney and want to share the happiness that I feel when vacationing there with others.  Please don’t be the person arriving at the restaurant with no reservations, upset that you can’t get in to dine there anytime during your vacation.  Don’t be the one complaining during your trip because you didn’t know about this or that.  I can help you get the most out of your experience and have the ‘never want to leave’ feeling when it is time to go back home.

Visit my ‘contact us’ page or just send me an email to amber@gotothemouse.com.  No need to be overly formal.  You’ll be working with a live person who loves helping others plan trips to the most magical place on Earth.

Prices have increased at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, home of fabulous makeovers for girls and boys (over 3 years old).  There are three packages for girls to choose from: Coach, Crown and Castle.  The Coach package now starts at $49.95 plus tax and includes hair style and make-up.  The Crown package now starts at $54.95 plus tax and includes hair, make-up and nail polishing.  The Castle package now starts at $189.95 plus tax and includes a photo package, hair, make-up, nail polishing and a complete costume of your choice plus accessories.  Also available are Hannah Montana makeovers!

Boys aren’t excluded from the fun!  Boys can get a Cool Dudes package which includes hair gel and confetti for $7.50 plus tax! 

My daughter has experienced the Crown package and it was a complete joy to watch her magical transformation!  She had a wonderful time and we took a lot of great photos!  You get to keep the make-up and nail polish used as well so we’ve been able to experience several mini-makeovers since we’ve returned home!

Reservations for these services are strongly recommended with a credit card guarantee required.  There are two locations to serve your prince or princess, the Downtown Disney® area and the Magic Kingdom® Park. 

Let GototheMouse.com reserve your makeover as a part of our personalized vacation planning service!

Our last two days at Disney were GREAT!  We spent them enjoying the Magic Kingdom® Park, Epcot®, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park.  Our visit to the Magic Kingdom® Park on Friday (the start to Memorial Day weekend) definitely included a far larger crowd that we had experienced earlier in the week.  We were glad that we had decided to make Friday our last day of the vacation.

Overall we had a wonderful trip and experienced many new restaurants and attractions!  We’re looking forward to our next trip in October!  Stay tuned!
