5 Once in a Lifetime Experiences at Disney World
For a lot of guests, a trip to Walt Disney World is a once in a lifetime trip, but even frequent guests don’t get the chance to see and do a lot of the incredible things on offer. To make a trip to the parks extra special there are always several experiences that they can arrange for in order to up the magic. Many of these experiences are pretty costly, which is why they are once in a lifetime experiences, but every once in awhile there is the chance to participate in something that doesn’t cost anything other than a little luck.
These are 5 once in a lifetime experiences at Disney World that guests can experience while visiting there.
Charter a Disney Yacht
Disney has a fleet of yachts that guests can reserve and charter for groups of all sizes, for all types of events. These boats stick to the lakes at Disney so it matters which boat you rent out, but they can be used to host parties, dine out on the water, and even just a great spot to watch the fireworks. Almost any request is able to be met, and the captain and crew give you as much space as you need. The price and special nature of the trips out on the lake make this a one time thing at Disney for just about everyone.
Special VIP Tour
Everyone has heard of Disney’s VIP experiences, something that can add up to several thousand dollars a day, if you choose an all day package. Fortunately, there is an option for everyone else that wants to get a little taste of that VIP experience at the theme park without having to pay the steep fees. A special VIP tour, focusing on either thrills in the park or the classics can be arranged and last for a nice chunk of the day in order to give you the chance to enjoy several rides and experiences around the parks, plus a special meal.
Spend the Night in Cinderella’s Castle
This once in a lifetime experience requires luck more than money, and it truly is an experience that very few people can say they’ve had. Every once in awhile the castle opens up for a special who not only gets to stay in the castle but gets special VIP treatment and a dedicated escort for the park. The opportunity is almost always given as pure luck or chance, via some sort of promoted drawing, so watch the Disney website for the chance to enter.
Backstage Magic Tour
Have you always wanted to get the ultimate behind the scenes look at Disney World, see all the parks in one day, and learn what it takes to run the place? Well you can as part of the seven hour Backstage Magic Tour where you will be whisked through each of the parks in order to see for yourself how everything happens, where the magic comes from, and the people that work so hard to make sure every guest has the best day of their life.
Be the Grand Marshal in a Disney Parade
Every single day a grand marshal is chosen from the guests that choose to visit Disney, and even more folks get the chance to ride in the additional floats that wind their way down the streets of this theme park. While the chance to grand marshal is pretty slim, there is someone chosen to do it each and every day, and they all have one thing in common. First, you must be in the parks to be chosen, and you must be what the secret cast member is looking for.
While the official formula for picking has never been released, they are undoubtedly looking for folks that are excited, animated, and super happy to be at Disney World. The reason for this is because you need to be able to infect the crowd with all of those feelings while sitting on a special float. Put your best foot forward from the time you enter the theme park until you leave.
