Spoil Yourself!
If your budget can handle it, you might want to try the Platinum add-on package. This package covers breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack (plus gratuities) at basically ANY restaurant in the "world". Only this plan covers room service and victoria & Albert's as well. Victoria & Albert's usually costs $100 per person and I assure you that it is well worth the cost (Dreamy)! Food aside, each person in your party will recieve a spa treatment, personal fireworks cruise (also very fun), really nice seats at Cirque Du Soliel, and unlimited access to some of the really neat tours available. Only the platinum plan offers more in the way of tours ie. Dive Quest scuba experience, Dolphins in depth, and Aqua tours (I'm told this is snorkling but with a regulater)...all of which takes place in the living seas at epcot! All recreation is included (parasailing anyone?). when you arrive at your hotel there will be no waiting in lines to check-in, a cast member will be awaiting your arrival and he/she will go over everything and send you on your way. Did I mention the VIP areas that you and your family get to hang out in to watch shows? Very good seats and never crowded! They even throw in a gift (we recieved a crystal tinkerbell last year...about as tall as the length of your hand and as wide as a man's fist). This plan includes nightly turn down service too! But why stop there? Concierge level rooms are also very cool! That actually comes standard with turn down service but these rooms are on exclusive floors or buildings and all have private lounges with finger foods throughout the day. If you use the platinum plan, it is unlikely that you will ever be hungry enough for munchies anyway. The food aspect allows you each to eat an appetizer, entre, and desert for EACH meal...no special menu's either, you get to chose anything your heart desires. Just for fun, when we do this, we usually take a limo from the airport as well, it's only $100 extra for 3 people as opposed to taking the Mear bus (often crowded). Talk about a wonderful vacation!!!! This way you can try everything that makes disney special without the hassle of shelling out cash along the way. At the end of your vacation they let you know how much you "saved" by chosing to go platinum. If you utilize the perks of the plan, and these are things you would have purchased al la cart anyway, you save around $3000-$4000 in the process. Good luck with your trip!
