Girl's Trip - what new things would you prioritize?

[mouschievous]

The school where I teach is taking a trip this spring. I was asked to chaperone, then told I would have to pay my own way. Given that it was over $1000, and I'd be paying to work the whole time, I said no thank you. BUT all of that put the desire for a trip in my head, so now a friend and I are looking at a possible girl's trip instead.

I'm trying to think of what I would prioritize. Obviously my friend and I each have our favorite rides, and she was a cast member years ago so she has her own priorities. But beyond that, I'm trying to think of something that would make it different than my other trips. I've done all the character meals (Storytellers is my favorite for the food, Plaza Inn for the characters) but I haven't done the Princess Tea. I've never been able to do the tea at DL Hotel, but is that going again?

Obviously I'll research, but are there certain things that scream "girl's trip!" to you that I might not have thought of, or may not have done before?

My sister and I have a sister only trip planned for April and we are getting foot treatments at Tenaya Spa at the Grand!

Edited to add:

We are getting the Mindful Traveler treatment:

"Sink into pure relaxation with an exfoliating foot soak and energizing massage designed to help reduce lower leg water retention, increase circulation, relieve lower leg muscle stress and leave legs and feet silky smooth."

I go with my sister every Dec. We love to do fine dining and we've tried many different places. A lot of people love the Napa Rose Chef's Counter. There is a special way to get reservations there so you won't see it on the Dining Reservation pages. There is a great post on here with directions on how to do it.

I've done the Chef's Counter and enjoyed it but actually preferred the wine pairing dinner at NR. That was several years ago so not up on its current status, but it was delightful.

I love the idea of a spa treatment at GCH's spa!!

We're trying the WOC dessert party for the first time this Dec. Sorry to say that the afternoon tea at DLH no longer exists (and that restaurant is gone).

I hope you have an amazing trip with your friend!!

I'd do the spa, and an extra special meal like World Of Color dessert party. I bet the princess tea would be very nice. Do either of you like dressing up? You could go to Disney Dress shop in Downtown Disney and get pretty dresses or accessories. You could stay at one of the resort hotels and get a club level room.

Love these ideas! I'm doing a girls trip with my mom and sister in the spring and we are brainstorming some fun girl-trip things to do
