As you may have noticed, we had some technical difficulties this week and our podcast did not air on Wednesday per usual. As we work on getting our next episode ready for air, enjoy the Dole Whippies as we played a fun Disney version of Family Feud on the Magic Our Way podcast!
This was a ton of fun so a big thanks to them for having us on!

Each year it seems like there’s a new kind of ticket option at Walt Disney World so we thought we’d break down this year’s new options for you to make your planning a little bit easier!
Jillian covered your standard ticket options here, but this is what’s new for 2017 only.
4 Park Magic Ticket
This is a limited time offer that must be purchased by March 5, 2017 and used by May 27, 2017. It’s actually a great deal for guests who are only going to be in the parks for a few days and want to visit each park only once.
The ticket allows you entry into each of the parks, but only one park per day, no hopping. Of course, you may come and go from your chosen park for that day as often as you wish.
The cost for this is $279 plus tax for adults and $259 plus tax for children aged 3 – 9. This is a pretty good savings as a standard 4 day base ticket runs $325 plus tax for adults and $305 plus tax for children aged 3 – 9. A family of four can save almost $200 on their vacation. That could buy you quite a few Dole Whips!
Florida Resident Discover Disney Tickets
The other new option they are offering is for Florida residents only. This is going to be a discounted 3 or 4 day ticket that must be purchased by June 9, 2017. The Park Hopper option may be added to these tickets. The 3 day is $139 plus tax for adults and children and the 4 day is $159 plus tax for adults and children.
Be aware that there is a blackout date for these tickets from May 27 to June 9, 2017 at Animal Kingdom only. Guests will be required to show proof of Florida residency when they pick up their tickets.
Hope that makes your planning a bit easier!
You can go to Walt Disney World on all different types of budgets. You can make it work for $2,000 or less and you can splurge and go and drop the price of a car on a week going all out! There are so many ways and shapes of vacations and one option that I love is a fun and intimate trip for 2 on a moderately deluxe budget of $5,000. Yes, I say moderately deluxe at $5,000 and I know it is only two people, but you can throw down some serious money at Disney if you let me (um if you want!).
Pricing is rack rate, so this is without ANY special promotions or discounts and I always recommend booking what you can afford without a discount. Discounts/promotions are NOT guaranteed, inventory is limited, and if you do get a promotion applied I think it is awesome to use it to upgrade. Club level? Deluxe dining? Fireworks cruise? Or if not an upgrade, extra money in your pockets for some fun souvenirs (I am a fan of Olszewski’s trinkets, especially his light boxes).
Okay back to my romantic trip for 2! So, here is what I think would be great!
Option 1 – Dates September 18 – 24, 2017 – almost a whole week away from the world with your special someone!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort – Standard Room with Standard View. I love this resort for so many reasons. I find it romantic, nostalgic and such a beautiful property to walk around. Plus the dining options are some of the best and you can grab a daily Dole Whip!
Included in this option is a 5 day park hopper. You definitely want a park hopper on this trip, because you are going to want to hop over to different parks for some amazing dinners and have the freedom of changing your mind on this trip for 2. You only need 5 days because on your trip for 2 you are going to want at least one full day to spend at the resort, sleep in, no alarms, sit by the pool, leisurely stroll around, and do some shopping.
And also, the standard Disney Dining Plan. Did you want Deluxe on this trip so you could go all out with some 2 credit meals and really be Disney foodies? Yes, well I did too, but I wanted the Poly more on this option and I am a fan of longer trips. This is my romantic trip for 2, so this is what it is for Option 1.
This is coming in at $4,919.68 so right there at budget!
Option 2 – Dates September 18 – 24, 2017
Disney’s Beach Club Resort – Standard Room with Standard View. I love this resort for 
your trip for 2 as the location is great for 2 adults. You can walk or boat to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. So, easy peasy (lemon squeasy) to go to Epcot and drink or snack around the World in the afternoon, take a break and a nap, then back to finish your Around the World challenge. I have found whether it is Drink or Snack Around the World a nap is a must. Plus, the pool here at Beach Club, which is named Stormalong Bay, is the best on property and has a sandy bottom and lazy river which is perfect to spend some lazy time!
I included 5 day park hopper for same reasons as above. Plus with Stormalong Bay you are going to want to be lazy for at least a full day!
This time, I was able to get deluxe dining in without going over budget! The Epcot resorts are a great option for deluxe stays, they are typically a little less expensive than the monorail resorts, but for resorts they are super nice and super convenient to Epcot and Hollywood Studios.
Total Cost – $4,877.45
Option 3 – Dates September 20 – 24, 2017
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort – Outer Building, Standard View, CLUB LEVEL I wanted to include the Grand Floridian as being the Flagship and such a great option. Plus, a trip for 2 that includes the G Flo and Club Level is a top option, but I did have to shorten the trip. Oh well, the club level makes up for it!
4 day Park Hoppers since it is a shorter trip.
Standard Disney Dining Plan and club level makes this a dream trip for comfort and convenience! And being on the monorail is the cherry on top!
Total Cost – $4,901.91
Option 4 – Dates September 20 – 24, 2017
Disney’s Boardwalk Inn – Outer Building, Garden Room – CLUB LEVEL I had to include 
this option because the Garden Room (or cottages) are the most amazing option for a 2 person stay. You get your own little two-story cottage complete with your own fenced in garden, mail box and cute white picket fence. You are right across from a quiet pool and not too far from the club level lounge. These cottages are special and very limited (total of 14 I think). I truly loved everything about them.
I did 4 day Park Hoppers. Though you will love the cottage so much you may not want to leave!
No dining plan, which is sad, but to keep on budget and since you are going to love hanging around your cottage and pool area and be so close to club level it is okay to skip the dining plan this time!
Total Cost – $4,777.27
So, these are just a few options for your romantic trip for 2 to Disney! Which trip do you want to take?
Did I save the best for last with the Club Level Series and Wilderness Lodge? Well, you will have to try them all yourself to see because the one thing I know to be a fact is everyone has a favorite and no two people can agree! So, the good news is to find out which is your favorite you will need to stay club level at all the deluxe resorts and then let me know which you love the best!
Wilderness Lodge Resort is a deluxe resort that is considered a Magic Kingdom resort. It is not on the monorail but does have a nice, quick boat ride to and from Magic Kingdom that makes it desirable. Though currently under a massive renovation so if you are staying here make sure you are aware of what the renovations will impact during your dates. But, moving on to the club.
First, a note about a change that is happening with all club levels and this is in the Itinerary Planning Office (“IPO”). Prior to this post, each club level guest received an email from the IPO at their resort and it was where you could get help planning, get reservations made for you prior to your stay, ask questions, etc. This service is being changed and is currently not available – so we are hearing. There has been no official announcements, just rumors, so we will not address those but as soon as we hear we will let you know! But, if you are staying club level and do not receive this email – this is why. If you do receive it or are reached out to by the IPO – let us know! We are investigating what all is going on in this department!
The lounge at Wilderness Lodge is called the Old Faithful Club and is located on the Seventh Floor and you will need to be staying club level to access the floor via the elevator. So, sadly no sneaking in or just wandering around! It is private and exclusive to those that have paid for the extra perks!
Club level extra perks at Wilderness Lodge are the same as all other club level perks at the other Deluxe resorts. These include plush bathrobes in room, turn-down service with chocolates on your pillow, lounge access with complimentary food and drinks, spa quality toiletries (favorite of mine!), and private check-in.
Room types that you can get if you are staying club level at Wilderness Lodge include 2 queen beds, 1 queen bed with a set of bunk beds or a king bed. Also, if you are in a suite at Wilderness Lodge you will automatically have club level included in your reservation.
The food – yes, it always comes down to the food! Here is a schedule and a sample of what is offered at Old Faithful Club at Wilderness Lodge:
Breakfast 7am-10am (coffee service starts at 6:30am) – Continental breakfast with pastries, muffins, bagels, yogurt, fruit, and cereal.
Excellent way to start the day!
Refreshments 11:30am-4pm – small snack foods. They will have crudite, cookies and chips (homemade chips!) with dipping sauce, candies and nuts.
Wine and Cheese Selections 5pm-7pm – Cheese platter, salads, Antipasti platter, BBQ Chicken Skewers, Venison Meatballs in Sweet and Sour Sauce, then these amazing Peanut Butter and Jelly Shooters with a Puff Pastry.
BBQ Chicken Skewers
Cordials and Desserts 8pm-10pm – Apple Crisp, Cookies (several varieties), and Magic Bars. This is also when they broke out some of their fine liqueurs to taste or a glass of wine if you prefer.
They always have soda, water, milk and non-alcoholic options as well!
So, yes this is the most drawn out trip report ever but it is keeping the memory and magic alive for me as I revisit each day we had on one of my favorite vacations ever. I hope the anticipation for each new day is not too much for all of you readers! I would love to hear from you about your trip or about your questions and how you are enjoying reading this trip report. You can comment or email me at dolewhipped@gmail.com (just think I may be able to write quicker with a bit of cheerleading!)
Okay, so now on to day 4 of this trip which is our second full day and another full day at sea. If you remember from Day 3 (or want to remind yourself click HERE) we were going around a tropical depression and the seas were a bit rougher than normal. So, today the 
ship was rocky. I did not mind it. It was not crazy rocky and did not disturb walking or anything just made you feel like you were being rocked in your sleep type thing. I would say 99% of the guests had no issues with it and the 1% that did were maybe a tad dramatic (I heard stories afterwards on our cruise Facebook page that someone who had an interior room on a lower deck had slept on a lounge chair by the pool). Now, that is a bit non-productive as the higher you go the more it rocks but if it makes you feel better and they let you – why not sleep by the pool? So, it was a tad overcast but that did not stop the fun. We actually had one of the best days on the ship.
First, we started off with some room service for breakfast. We had decided with our friends the night before since the weather was not going to be as good as it was the rest of the week this would be the perfect day to sleep in, have room service and all huddle up in one room and watch a movie. It was the perfect morning.
Since we had built up an appetite (sea air and all) we headed to Cabanas for lunch and had a vast array of choices as always at Cabanas, along with several glasses of POG
juice. Excellent way to kick off the afternoon.
When we finally decided to join the rest of the ship we did something I had never done on a cruise ship in the past. We played BINGO! Bingo was in the D Lounge (though note the Navigator schedule had a mistake and said the Buena Vista Theatre so note to everyone if you are somewhere and no crew is around it may be a printed mistake). We figured it out though and we had a blast playing BINGO. Now, couple of BINGO things to note, the crew that runs it makes it fun. BINGO is not free and there are a few packages to choose from and you can do 
one card or many and you can do it electronically or the old fashion where you poke the chad out. We decided to save our money and do it the old fashion way and bought two cards (one for each of us because on the first day we played BINGO only myself and one other companion thought it was worth it – this quickly changed and by the end of the week the whole group was playing!) So two cards were $40 and they had six games on each card. The ball scrambling machine is named Betty and when someone is having bad BINGO luck they yell out “SHAKE IT UP BETTY” and all the kids laugh (and a few adults). So, you hear “SHAKE IT UP BETTY” a lot. Oh, by the way, BINGO is open to all ages but because actual money is won if your kid is under 18 and wins you, as the adult, gets to take the winnings. If you want to give it to your child or if you want to keep it, well that is up to you. They also will randomly between games do a random name draw for prizes and though we did not win BINGO we DID win the random name. All of a sudden on the screen was my sailing companion and BINGO partner’s name! He graciously gave me most of the prize because I was more excited than probably I should have been. It was a tote bag that had several branded Disney Cruise Line gifts such as a hat, pen, lip gloss, and a phone charger. I never win anything so even though I did not win, I got the winnings and felt like a true champion.
The main show in the Walt Disney Theatre that evening was “Wishes” and I was looking forward to it and it did not disappoint. It was about three best friends that were graduating and each going their own way in life and before they do they go on a magical journey down a wishing well. Very cute and had a great message for everyone.
Dinner that evening was at Animator’s Palate and I was looking forward to it because though we were assigned there twice during the week, I knew the second time we were scheduled there we would be eating at Palo’s – so this was my one time at AP. I started my meal with the Baked Potato and Cheddar Cheese Soup and one of their specialty drinks a Bora Shake (Piña Colada, fresh Bananas and Blue Ocean). For my entree I had Ginger-Teriyaki dusted Angus beef Tenderloin with Wasabi Mashed Potatoes with 
Bok Choy and a Tamarind–Barbecue Reduction. I can not recommend this dish more if I tried. I challenge you to not love it. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned and nothing like anyone expects from meals on a cruise ship. Bravo Disney. For dessert I went with a classic Mickey Bar. The entertainment and interaction was great and I enjoyed almost every moment. The moments I did not enjoy were unfortunately we were seated next to a large family of about 15 people and several small children. We choose late dinner, on purpose, as early dinner is usually better for the little ones. These little children were definitely tired and cranky and were throwing a fit. There were 3 or 4 that were throwing things off the table and screaming and running around and into the servers and it was quite the scene. But, luckily for the parents and grandparents of these kids, they were able to ignore it and continue their good time without worrying about anything or anyone else. For the rest of us seated near them it was not as easy. I felt really bad for the little ones because they were just tired, so you know, note to self maybe try early dinner if you have lots of little ones in your group or rotate one adult to watch them sleep each night. I am sure there is a better option for them and everyone else. SIGH. Moving on, but you all know what I am saying.
Next, we went to an adults only show! Ooh La La. No, nothing like that as this is Disney but it was in The Tube and it was the Ventriloquist and she was great. It was very crowded and hard to hear and see at points as it is an active bar but we got to see her again later that week as well and highlight of the week was her act.
So, though the day started slow and lazy it definitely got going and we did a lot that day! We did lots of new stuff like BINGO and adults only late shows (as usually I am zzzz’ing pretty early on cruises – again the sea air) but had a great time doing it all! Tomorrow Tortola and another GREAT day on the Disney Fantasy.

If you’ve listened to our podcast even once, you know that I am, in fact, a giant chicken. Bok bok. I do not like roller coasters. They scare me. I’m not much for thrill rides in general, but sometimes I can convince myself I need to experience something awesome and I need to prepare in advance for that. I’m going to give you a ranking of the roller coaster rides at Walt Disney World so that you can see in advance what appeals to you and what you’d rather avoid.
We’ll start with the most intense and go down the list from there.
1. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
Location: Hollywood Studios
Max Speed: 57 mph
Height Restriction: 48″
Ok, so it has “roller coaster” right there in the title. It’s fast. It has big drops and inversions. This is a Level NOPE on my chicken meter.
2. Expedition Everest
Location: Animal Kingdom
Max Speed: 50 mph
Height Restriction: 44″
This one’s a little tamer than the previous but it is fast. There are some big drops. Probably the most terrifying part of this coaster is that it heads up the mountain at one point, looks like it’s going to plummet over the edge (it’s not, of course), and then sends you screaming back down the mountain backwards.
3. Primeval Whirl
Location: Animal Kingdom
Max Speed: 29 mph
Height Restriction: 48″
This is not a particularly scary coaster, but there is the added spinning aspect of the car that makes it more than just a standard coaster. If you’re familiar with Goofy’s Sky School at Disneyland, this is the same track.
4. Space Mountain
Location: Magic Kingdom
Max Speed: 28 mph
Height Restriction: 44″
It’s not the fastest coaster at Walt Disney World but it is the darkest. The gimmick here is not speed or drops but that it’s totally dark so you don’t know what’s coming.
5. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Location: Magic Kingdom
Max Speed: 35 mph
Height Restriction: 40″
This one’s pretty tame as far as coasters go. Little bit fast, only a couple of small drops. Rates as a Pretty Fun on my chicken meter.
6. Seven Dwarfs’ Mine Train
Location: Magic Kingdom
Max Speed: 34 mph
Height Restriction: 38″
Having just experienced this one for the first time, I have to say that this coaster is FUN. Personally, I didn’t find it scary at all, but I did find the seats to very cramped and legroom almost non-existent.
7. The Barnstormer
Location: Magic Kingdom
Max Speed: 25 mph
Height Restriction: 38″
A fun kiddie coaster. Very tame, no drops. Also, the ride is quite short so if your little one does get a bit spooked, it’s over very quickly.
Of course, the ranking here is totally subjective, but since you have the info, you can decide in what order you would rank them! If it’s different from mine, I’d love to hear it! Post it in the comments!
Rogue One is the name of the new Star Wars movie and if you did not know that you may want to stop reading this review. Now, if you remember (or if you don’t click HERE for my last Star Wars movie review), I am not the biggest Star Wars fan in the world or even amongst us Dole Whippie ladies; but, I will put my husband up against anyone to claim he is the biggest fan. With that said, I was up and seeing the movie at 9:30am in the morning. This is not a great movie time because no one is awake, no one wants popcorn, and no one (or really I) want to be there. But, I was there, and I was exhausted from the night before being my birthday “party”. Yes, we went to Star Wars on my birthday weekend. It is not enough to be blessed with a birthday a week before Christmas…nope, Star Wars decided to thwart all plans for my birthday and open that weekend. So, here is what I thought:
It was a great story and had a good cast, decent plot, great music and the end was spine tingling (even for me). I am not going to spoil it but pretty darn cool Disney. If you are not a Star Wars groupie it is hard to follow who everyone is and who they become and what planets are good and bad. But, you can still enjoy the film. The middle gets long (for a non-fan) and you really do not have to watch it to get what happens and can take a 20 minute snooze. I may have. No comment.
The Star Wars music in the film was awesome – you knew it was Star Wars and they teased you a few times that you were going to get the full on version but nope and that was okay because I loved what they did with the new music.
The end was awesome in every way, but there was one part of the end I had issues with…I would tell you but I would get in trouble with the spoiler people.
OH WELL _ STOP READING IF YOU DON’T WANT A SPOILER:
I did not love that Jyn and Cassian died at the end. This is a Disney movie – they needed to live happily ever after. I mean come on – was the force not strong enough with them?
I loved the little cameos of CP3P0 and R2D2 and man I love me some Princess Leia buns. That was so cool.
Go see this movie. I may watch Episode 4 not to see what happens next…until next time: I am one with the force and the force is strong with me.
So, here we are again (yes I know you have had to wait for the next installment of this super trip report of my 7 night Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Disney Fantasy but well, life has been busy!) Forgive me and please read on!
So, today we were ready for some fun at sea. I love the “At Sea” days because you have all the time in the world to really enjoy the ship. Let me start by saying we were told early
on that we were sailing through a tropical depression and things would be rocky and the Captain would do everything he could to avoid it, but be ready because when this ships a rockin’, well you need to be ready. So, let me address this now for all those in fear of bad weather on ships. First, did it get rocky? Yes, the ship definitely hit back and forth and rolled along. We only got a little rain and mist but it was a bit overcast all day. Not enough to stop the fun but just enough to make it a more indoor day than a sun filled pool day. We did not encounter any sea sickness, we did not ever have any fear or felt unsafe, and when things happen that mean you can not be outside on deck as much as usual it is not always a bad thing. Disney steps it up and entertains you even more than usual and we were loving seeing extra fun things being added – like oh hey Cinderella is hanging out with us while we are waiting for dinner and Peter Pan is skirting around playing too! It was too much fun to watch the unscheduled and unplanned characters just hanging about and the little ones running up to them.
We enjoyed breakfast at Cabanas and then watched an afternoon show of “BFG” (“Big Friendly Giant”) that was out in theaters at the time. I do not think this movie did too well at the box office but we loved it and if you have a chance to see it then you should. It was super cute and beautifully done. Tonight was also the formal night and the Captain’s Reception. We enjoyed a cocktail at the reception and walking around seeing people dressed in their finest as about half were and the other half were dressed like they were on a cruise. We fell into the half that were cruising and dressed nice but did not lug our cocktail attire and tuxes on the ship. We have done that before and just find it a lot of work and extra luggage. Some love the dressing up and for them I say GO FOR IT! I loved seeing the people dressed and the kids in the mini-tuxes!
Tonight we saw the show “Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular” in the Walt Disney Theatre as the evening show and spectacular it was! We loved it and it was one of my favorite all-time shows on a Disney Cruise. Do not skip this night for sure or you will regret it! There was nothing but fun and singing and dancing and we all enjoyed it.
Dinner tonight was at Royal Court and it was lovely. Outside of Palo, this may have been my favorite dinner. I had Belle’s French Onion Soup that was full of Gruyère cheese 
croutons and they were excellent. I chose the chateaubriand-roasted filet steak with potatoes and green beans and an excellent béarnaise to top of the filet. Everything was cooked perfectly and I am hungry just thinking about it! We splurged on the Grand Marnier souffle for dessert and no regrets as it was infused with orange zest and nothing like you would expect on a cruise ship serving so many. It was as if they were each done very specific to each person. I personally love the decor in the Royal Court and enjoyed this evening so much!
As you’ll recall, I had the opportunity to do an Agent Education Program at Disneyland a few months ago. As part of the program we got to do a “Heritage Experience.” In Disney-speak, that means “You’re going to see something really cool and exclusive.” What we got to see is the Disneyland Dream Suite. Let me tell you all about this amazing hidden treasure!
First, a little history. So, back in the 1950’s when Walt Disney was building and maintaining his “baby” aka Disneyland, he kept a little apartment above the fire station on Main Street USA. At that time, the apartment was fine because it was mostly just Walt and his wife and two daughters staying there. In the 1960’s, Walt felt like he needed a bigger space for his family and his daughters’ eventual grandchildren, and just a larger space for entertaining so he commissioned the apartment to be built right above New Orleans Square, which was already under construction.
The Royal Suite, as it was named at the time, never saw completion as Walt passed away in 1966 and several of his ongoing projects were abandoned. The family felt too devastated by Walt’s loss to continue the construction, so even though the apartment was nearly finished, it sat vacant for nearly 20 years.
In 2007, Disney hosted their “Year of A Million Dreams” event and for that, the Dream Suite was renovated into an actual hotel room. Winners were picked at random to spend the night in the Dream Suite for free. As with the room in Cinderella’s Castle in Walt Disney World, the Dream Suite cannot be booked. A stay there has to be awarded.
Now the best part! Let’s take a look inside!
The apartment is two bedrooms, two baths, a living room and a little hallway. We entered via the hallway. This is right as you come up the elevator by the entrance to Pirates of the Caribbean.
The entrance door. I loved the stained glass.
There’s a little courtyard located between the rooms. It was incredibly quiet in here despite the hustle and bustle of the park located below. In fact, you couldn’t hear ANY park noise inside the suite itself! It’s all soundproofed!
I absolutely adored the fabric on these lounge chairs!
As I mentioned, there are two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. Each room in the house, including the living room are themed like a different park “land.” The first bedroom is Adventureland themed.
Now, it’s a beautiful room, but here’s where things get magical. Each room has a “Goodnight Kiss” switch. When that switch is flipped, something magical happens. The lights dim, and music plays…it’s wonderful! In this particular room, a Peter Pan inspired light show happens. They wouldn’t allow us to take video of the magic and my photos didn’t come out well. But it was so breathtaking!
Of course, there’s magic in the bathroom as well. When the switch is flipped here, the tub surround lights up with twinkling lights and Hidden Mickey appears spontaneously!
Some more bathroom photos:
The second bedroom is Frontierland themed. It includes two beds instead of one so this is meant more for a children’s bedroom, I think. There is also a “Goodnight Kiss” switch in here which dims the lights and sends a little train on a trip around the perimeter of the room. You can see the tracks located on the shelf above the beds. Each little vignette has some little touch of Disney inspiration and magic.
This piece of artwork is a map of Disneyland park…with a bit of magic! It looks like any ordinary map, however, when the “Goodnight Kiss” switch is flipped…
…it lights up with twinkling lights and flowing water!
And the theme continues on to the bathroom.
To the living room! Check out this fireplace. It’s not a real fireplace, but a screen with a fire video on it. Occasionally, the sparks from the crackling fire look like fireworks! Another interesting thing is the little birdcage on the mantel. That is a replica of a toy Walt purchased at a flea market. The bird inside was mechanical and when you pressed a button it would chirp. That bird was the idea that later became Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room!
Just like all the other rooms, there’s a special switch in this room too. Here’s what it does to the grandfather clock!
Possibly one of the most interesting things about this suite is the view. It’s located right across from the Rivers of America where Fantasmic is shown nightly. From the balcony of the suite, you get a dead center perfect view of the show. The other thing is that you can look down upon all the park goers and get a bird’s eye view of what’s happening, but almost no one looks up. That would have been perfect for Walt to have watched the happy folks in his park without being the center of attention.
This insignia was inlaid into the wood of the balcony. Just beautiful!
And that’s a very short overview of the Dream Suite at Disneyland Park! This is truly a Walt Disney fanatic’s delight! So much history and so much Disney magic all in one 2200 sq ft apartment! If you would like to see it for yourself, you can purchase a VIP tour during your stay at Disneyland. I highly recommend it!
