Help with 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!

They have their own itinerary. I was more looking for suggestions on things I could potentially send them or services I could buy for them to plus up their vacation as a surprise.

Do you know their itinerary?

If so, you could call a restaurant that they have reservations at to put your card on file and pay for their dinner one night!

There's a group on FaceBook called Ear for Each Other that is comprised of laid-off WDW cast members who have started up various businesses and many will deliver to the resorts (your friends would get notification they have a delivery and would go to bell services to pick up or call to have delivered - there may be a nominal fee & gratuity for that. If perishable, bell services would keep refrigerated.).

Be sure to read the posting rules & check reviews, but I'd browse there for some inspiration if Disney Floral isn't offering anything that you like. I haven't seen any room decoration services but some ideas are a charcuterie board and bottle of wine, custom baked goods (cookies, cupcakes, etc.), at least one business designs scavenger hunts to be used in the parks. I've also seen businesses that will come to your resort and do a princess makeover on a little one or henna tattoos.

I do and this is a great idea. I think I'll do this and see if I can arrange to have the restaurant deliver a dis gift card and a note in lieu of the bill.
