Had to share this!
Prologue:
I recently called the DisneyFlorist, since I just found out a group of my cousins will be headed to Disney World in April (they have kids, so they have to go during their vacation) I talked to the Dad (my first counsin) and he already knew about codes- good for him! But I gave him LOTS of info on special things to do with the kids, etc, etc- armed him with websites, books and info and he is off and running. I love ordering baskets from DisneyFlorist for our trips and I thought I would share the magic and surprise them with a basket when they check in.
The Gift:
So I called this morning.I got this poor girl (very polite) who was sick with a cold- I told her I had 3 ideas to theme my basket around- #1- the Light Spinners for the 2 kids in the group- but they only had TinkerBelle- and you cant do one for one kid and not the other- so headbands with ears! But, no, sadly they didn't have those either, okay plush backpacks- but the characters they had weren't going to work. They suggested i call Animal Kingdom Lodge Gift Shop, but didn't give the number.
Well I had trouble, but finally got through- only to find out the gift shop only does baskets at Easter- April 13th was too late. So I called back the DisneyFlorist- I got this friendly voice on the phone and told her a little of what I was going thru, and said I was willing to start on a different idea, I ordered the Chocoholic basket, added fruit and crackers, gourmet cheese, water bottles, etc and autograph books and 2 safari dressed characters (Goofy and Donald)-she said it will look so big. Im so excited, I hope it is a great surprise for them!!
The Magic:
She apologized for any trouble I encountered, gave me her direct line and said she would be happy to be my personal designer in the future. I said, well.....you have been so wonderful, I have a trip coming up and am celebrating my anniversary and I would like to do a basket for my husband (something I have done for him the last 2 trips) well I mentioned how we came for our honeymoon and it was in August and it was awful- she interrupted me and said "I KNOW YOU! You ordered a basket from me last year and she relayed some of my honeymoon catastrophe story...." YES! YES! Thats me! Well, this time we went, we had a blast! Until the 4th day I got so sick they had to take me to the ER at Celebration Hospital, but boy did we have fun! And we are coming back!! So thats why I want to do this basket for my husband"
(This is where it gets good!)
She said "Not to turn away your business, but you do sooo much for everyone else, we would like to make one of your wishes come true- Disney Style. Can you please have your husband call me?" I just got all choked up and said yes, I would do that. She asked if I had any favorite romantic locations or favorite characters- I told her I have never met a character I didn't like- she asked if I would be okay with some thing princessy
rincess: and I said sure. She then said- Oh and dont bother searching on the internet- what I have in mind isn't out there, just have your husband call me.)
WOW!! I REALLY CANT WAIT for our trip now!!
