20th Anniversary Celebration

[5DisneyNuts]

I know this has been mentioned before, but I wanted to say that if anyone is looking for a really special event to celebrate a special day I would highly recommend Jane from Gifts of a Lifetime http://www.giftsofalifetime.com/

I arranged for a surprise scavenger hunt around EPCOT for my DH and 3 DS as part of our 20th anniversary celebration. Jane and her "Pixies" were fantastic and DH and the kids can't stop taking about it. I believe they do all sorts of things from room decoration to planning special events.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

If you could give me some details (in a pm if you'd prefer) I'd appreciate it. I'm still waiting to hear from Jane for a December 20th anniversary event. Any info at all would be fantastic!
Thanks!

Thanks for the recommendation. Would you please PM me some of the details so I can consider it for our next trip? Have a magical day!

I filled out the questionnaire on the web site 6 months in advance and Jane contacted me about 5-6 weeks before the date with her ideas. She takes a lot into consideration, asking for example, if the one you are surprising is easily embarrassed or likes attention. Her goal is to make the event fun for all and will work with you on the specifics.

The best bet if you want to find out what is available is to call or fill out the web form. When Jane contacted me, I told her which park we would be in that day and some details on what I wanted included. We did a scavenger hunt around EPCOT and the WS. We had to find clues and perform tasks to win! I don't want to give too many details as Jane likes to keep things a surprise for her upcoming customers that might have a similar experience planned - let’s just say I have some good blackmail video in case DH decides to act up . We ended with a romantic moment for DH and I in honor of our anniversary shared with our sons.

Events are priced depending on what you select. Our event lasted for about 2 - 2 1/2 hrs. I decided to do this on our 2nd day planned at EPCOT so we had already seen everything we wanted to at FW. It was really something different for us and the kids. We got to see all the nooks and crannies of the countries at the WS that I don't think we would have ever discovered.

The one thing I would mention is that Jane works pretty hard organizing events based on individual preferences, so only those serious about scheduling an event should fill out the inquiry. You can also just order something from the personal shopper section of the website as a surprise for your visit.

I originally found out about Gifts of a Lifetime here on the Dis and wanted to share our experience in case someone else is interested in doing something really different. Hope the info helps!
