My aunt has had a rough few years and my husband and I are taking her to Disney in November (8-16) and we are footing the bill. She really needs it and I look forward to seeing her. Its him, myself, my aunt and his sister. We have a timeshare and tickets and such and with our work discounts its actually a really cheap trip. He and I go every year for the food and wine festival (this is year 5 in a row) and we timed it this year to also do the Christmas stuff, which we have never done. I have a few questions:
1) What nifty things can I do before hand to get my aunt "in the mood". She is really excited about the trip and I love the idea of her getting into it. What do you think we can do or buy to get her more in the mood. I made her a custom map on the website and got her a big pin trading starter set, but any other ideas?
2) I was hoping Magic bands would be ready for the 4 of us when we start so that I can link her band to my account to be able to give her cash to spend on her kids and such,and so we can budget. She has no money and we want her to have fun but at the same time have everything in one place. Any ideas from anyone when they will be available or who I can call. I have been reading the posts here daily and have called disney, but do you have any other ideas?
3) We have never been to the Christmas festival, any tips on that for a first timer?
4) Do you know where I can have current park maps sent to me? Just to have before for her (and us lol)
5) Any other tips would be really appreciated. She hasnt been in about 18 years and I want this to REALLY be special.
Thanks!
