What should I spend my b-day $$ on?

[AMonir]

Omg, my parents just gave me a big check as my 20th b-day gift! I can't believe it, I am so touched and humbled by their incredibly generous gift! Anyways, of course I want to spend some of it at WDW, so I was wondering if you veterans know of any extra-special things to do at WDW that I should spend the $$ on? My friend and I leave TOMORROW, woohoo!!!! I'm there from tomorrow - Wednesday night. I don't think IllumiNations or Wishes cruises are available, so that's probably out. Also, the meals we have already booked are: Fulton's, CRT character lunch, LTT character dinner, Rainforest Cafe in AK, CA Grill fireworks dinner, Les Chefs de France, Alfredo's dinner, 50's Prime Time, H &V/Fantasmic! package, 1900 Park Fare character breakfast and Plaza Restaurant.

I would LOVE to hear your ideas for special things to indulge in at WDW, so I can spend the $$ wisely. Thank you soo much!!

Buy a special made item on Main Street that marks your event/trip. DH once had a crystal piece made for our anniversary. How about a watch? I love my watches I have purchased.

Try a tour. Go to Cirque (can't spell!!).

I know........send me a plane ticket!! Just kidding!

Enjoy yourself!!!

I highly recommend a Segway tour of Epcot WS or any of the other wonderful tours offered here. Be sure to ask about any discount you might be eligible for.

You can dine with an Imagineer. This is great, I loved it!

Happy Birthday & Have Fun!

wouldn't hurt to see if there is availability for one of the cruise's

Other than that... some really cool souvie is always my favorite thing to spend $$ on....

I started a 14k gold charm bracelet several years ago. I get new charms to mark special occasions. It's something that will last a lifetime.

I'd suggest spending it all on rice krispy treats but I'm a bit food motivated

Seriously, you might want to consider visiting the Art of Disney store in Downtown Disney and spending it on some wall art or a sculpture that will be a long term reminder of your trip.

Thank you soo much for the suggestions, guys! If any of you are interested, here's what I spent the b-day money on:

1. Wishes Cruise
2. IllumiNations cruise

We got both of these last minute, the day before!! So this just goes to show that it never hurts to keep trying, something might come up as late as the day of!

3. Hollywood Brown Derby Fantasmic! package for me and my friend

Loved this restaurant!! I'll be posting a review of it soon, I totally recommend it to everyone!!

4. Souvenirs

Totally agree with all the DIS-ers who recommended souvenirs. Buying souvenirs is really what kept me from being too sad on the last day of our trip. Knowing that I had souvenirs to enjoy at home made it sooo much easier. I even got myself certain things that I wasn't "allowed" to open until after I got home, which gave me something to look forward to. I TOTALLY recommend this!!

Thanks again!!
