Last February, I had them arrange an "Amazing Race" adventure through Epcot for my then ten-year-old son. He was given a bag of 'equipment' and a clue and had to decipher the clue to find a task or hint to the whereabouts of the next clue. The hour process took two or three hours as we progressed first through Future World and then around the World Showcase until we'd finished up in Canada and he was awarded his 'prize' - A lanyard with a pin from each park and the Disney "Scene-It" DVD game [I'd purchased the game on-line and had it delivered to GoaL, they procured the lanyard and pins]. He also received a laminated certificate announced his successful completion of his Amazing Race!

They have a form you can fill out on-line and based on your input, they'll suggest some things they can do for your daughter. I can't recommend them enough! It was great.

This may seem pretty obvious, but if you haven't done a character meal, try it. I highly recommend Liberty Tree Tavern for dinner, and Crystal Place (dinner or lunch). Even as adults, you'll have fun too. I think if you get into it, it will amuse your daughter as well and it'll just add to the occassion.

Another thing you can try is to ask if you can ride in the front of the monorail. Figure out where front of the monoral stops, and ask a cast member there if you can ride up front. If there are already people in the waiting area, you may have to wait for one or two monorail to pass, but if you're not in a hurry, it'll be worth it.

I would think the same based on seeing that... :eek:

But in reality, the service was absolutely fantastic and in my mind well worth every penny. I guess they concentrate more on their customers than their web site, not necessarily the best practise for drumming up business, but I can honestly say they took excellent care of my needs!

A good example of "Don't judge a book by its cover"????

Possibly :) But sometimes the website is all you have to go by, and those are the images they choose to show people as examples of what great things they can do..? I'm sure that website scares away a lot of potential customers. It sure scared me!! :lol:

Seriously though, glad you had a great time, and hope the people in the pictures did too. As long as they can get enough business in, happy customers is what's important after all!
