BFF Trip

My BFF and I just booked our BFF Trip for Spring Break. It is on of the busiest times but it was the only time my BFF had. So we are going right before Easter.

I made our ADRs today. 1900 Park Fare, The Chrystal Palace, and 50s Prime Time Cafe.

I am so excited.

Good choices! Be sure & try the strawberry soup at 1900 Park Fare and the peanut & jelly milk shake at 50s Prime Time! Where are you staying?

We are staying at the All Star Sports. Not my first choice but funds are a limiting factor.

I am currently planning. My BFF is what I call a non believer in all things Disney. I talked her into Park Hopper Option and the Dining Plan. I had to even work up a cost comparison. So we have 3 days in the parks (she thinks that is TOO MANY). We want to do things like character encounters and parades. Neither of us are huge coaster fans plus she has a real fear of heights. For me The ADRs are all places I have never chosen when I go with the hubs so I am excited about that.

I would love to hear your thoughts on ideas to convert her!!

The key to converting the non-believers is to show them that Disney does the things that they enjoy too.

I had a non-believer husband, his Disney history was basically a trip when he was 16 where he didn't get to do anything that he wanted to. In converting him I gave up the things that I thought were the most awesome on his first trip and focused on all the things I knew he would love. Luckily, I love everything Disney so it's not like I was losing out. I focused that trip on leisure, food, and Epcot. He had a great time, but the thing that really converted him was when we had an emergency and Disney went above and beyond for us service wise.

I suggest finding out what she usually likes to do on vacation and making sure that you hit the Disney equivalent.

Kristen: Yah! That is exactly what I am doing. I was literally JUST there the week of Thanksgiving, so I am going to focus more on what she likes (shopping, games, non-bouncy rides). She likes to be (pun totally intended) to be treated like a princess and so...we are going to do just that. I picked ADRs that suited her dining taste and the fast passes will be the same way. Basically she wants to walk around, shop, watch parades etc. High on my list is getting to meet Gaston.

If you stick with that then I think she'll love it
Oh! You could plan a stop at one of the spas for a treatment if that fits your budget. If not see if they'll give you a sprinkle of extra fairy dust at bibbidi bobbidi boutique!
