Help Planning a Magical Surprise

[Rococoyourboat]

I was looking for your suggestions for what to do to add some extra pixie dust to a trip. A group of close family friends will be visiting wdw for Xmas and new years this year. On our last trip they surprised us with an in room celebration for Halloween, the whole room was decorated with loads of swag waiting when we returned from our park day, a truly magical surprise. I wanted to send them a similar celebration but Disney floral and gift isn't currently offering them. Any suggestions for something to send them or a tour I could book for them? I'd like it to be a surprise, so preferable something that doesn't require thier prior knowledge. Thanks for your help!

I don't think the tours have resumed since the Pandemic started. But the Disney World Special Events and Tours page is showing "Schedule Unavailable/Call for Reservations" so if you have a few hours to sit on hold, you can try calling them. Here's the page:

A Disney vacation requires a lot of scheduling these days - much more than pre-Pandemic. So even if you were able to book a tour, that might really mess with their plans. For example, they might be super excited about seeing the Star Wars area of DHS, and only have 1 day booked at DHS. But if you, thinking you are being nice, booked a tour for them at a different park for that day, you could be causing disappointment instead of happiness.

People on here have mentioned a Facebook group called Ear For Each Other. People have been using it to hire furloughed Disney World cast members to do things or make things. I have not personally used it.

Thanks so much for the tip about the Facebook group! I hadn't yet heard of it.

They are going for an 11 day multiresort stay and one of the people going is my bestie. We talk all the time and I have fairly intimate knowledge of their schedule and plans, so I'm fairly certain I could book something without throwing a wrench into the works.
