A Delicious Offer for September

I’ve mentioned before that Fall is my favorite season of the year. It is also when we like to visit the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. The weather is a bit nicer, the crowds a bit less. And for the past several years Disney has offered FREE DINING! Although, there was speculation that this promotion would be discontinued, it seems, at least for this year it will continue!

Last week this popular offer was once again released. When you book a 3 night stay at a Moderate level or higher Disney resort and purchase at least a 2 day Magic Your Way base ticket, you will receive the Disney Dining Plan for FREE! For guests staying at a Value resort you will receive the Quick Service Dining Plan free. Eligible dates for this offer are: September 2, 2013 – September 25, 2013.

This offer is valid at most Disney resorts and must be booked by July 31, 2013. To learn more about the Disney Dining Plan options click here. Contact your Wishing Well Agent for more details or to book this fantastic offer!

Brrr…..Blizzard Beach

Looking for a vacation at Walt Disney World, that also has a little bit of Winter snowy fun? You’ve got to try Disney’s Blizzard Beach. This amazing water park is filled with tons of attractions that are perfect for any group. It’s so fun and just so inventive.

Blizzard Beach is a huge water park that appears as if a major snow storm has hit Walt Disney World and the results are super fun. There is a giant wave pool called Melt-Away Bay in the middle of the park that delivers giant waves every few minutes. Surrounding the entire park is the amazing lazy river, Cross Country Creek…grab a tube at any of the many openings and just float around the park til your hearts’ content. It’s so relaxing and the perfect attraction at Disney World because there are never any lines!

My favorite attraction at Blizzard Beach is the huge family tube ride, Teamboat Springs. Guest take a ski chairlift to the top of the ski mountain (or water slide mountain) and board a large tube that can seat up to six people. It’s the perfect ride for your group to do together.

Two areas of Blizzard Beach that the kids in your group will not want to miss are Tike’s Peak and Ski Patrol Training Camp. For the kids in your party 48″ or less, Tike’s Peak is the perfect spot to dig in the sand, ride some tame and perfectly sized water slides, and splash away the day. For the big kids and preteens, don’t miss Ski Patrol Training Camp, which features an amazing training course where you can climb ropes over a pool, a zip line that you can drop into the pool and of course some water slides.

Become a Wilderness Explorer

Have you seen Disney/Pixar’s movie UP? Do you love Russell and his excitement for earning badges as a Wilderness Explorer? Well Russell is now bringing that excitement to Disney’s Animal Kingdom! He loves earning badges so much he wanted to share that with all of us.

Disney’s California Adventure already has a variation of this attraction, it is called Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. Guests are given a pamphlet telling them the tasks they must complete to earn each badge. Once a task is completed the guest marks it off their pamphlet. This is done on the honor system. Once they have completed their tasks they go to the Senior Explorer Ceremony and are promoted to Senior Wilderness Explorer.

When this attraction comes to Disney’s Animal Kingdom guests are going to have the opportunity to explore this awesome park in a whole new way. They will have the opportunity to tour the park as Wilderness Explorers, searching for the items on our pamphlets and earning badges along the way. Disney has had success with interactive attractions that allow guests the opportunity to explore the parks in a new way. At Epcot in the World Showcase has been host to Kim Possible and now Agent P; at Magic Kingdom you can find Sorcerer’s of the Magic Kingdom. It makes me wonder what Hollywood Studios may have in store for the future.

This attraction is geared towards kids but at Disney’s Animal Kingdom both kids and kids at heart will enjoy this adventure. I for one am looking forward to trying out this new attraction and earning some badges! How about you? Are you ready to become a Wilderness Explorer?
