Disney World, a place where magic comes alive. Little boys can sword fight with pirates and little girls can dance with a prince. Magic. My husband and I recently took our little pirate and princess on this magical journey and I want to share one word of advice. GET THE MEAL PLAN! We were able to enjoy sit down venues that otherwise would have been missed due to the price. This year we decide to take our daughter to Cinderella’s Royal Banquet at 1900 Park Fare, located in the Grand Floridian Resort.

This is a Character dinner where Cinderella, The Prince, Lady Tremaine, and the step sisters tour through the restaurant stopping at each table and giving attention to the kids they would not receive from the two-hour lines at the park. Besides, mom’s heroes, the step sisters, do not appear in the park. This year my daughter is eight and the magic was beginning to fade, doubts creeping in, but those doubts were erased in a heartbeat when Prince Charming kissed her hand. “Mom,” she whispered to me after he left our table, “They are really real. I’m never washing this hand!” Shortly after this Cinderella came by and she got to compare her shoes with the princess.

We were able to take our children to three character dining experiences similar to this and each one left my children with magical memories that are priceless. The only way we as parents could have provided this was through the Meal Plan.

Thank you Leisure Travel for planning our magical vacation.
