If you’re staying at a Disney resort, start your day with a call from Mickey. Just use the phone system to arrange a wake-up call, and when the phone rings, Mickey, Stitch, or one of their friends welcomes you to the new day! When the phone rings with your wake-up call, press the speakerphone button so everyone in the room can hear it! Tip: Make your wake-up call for an off-time, such as 7:03, to help ensure you get Mickey.

Fireworks Cruises—Do you have something to celebrate? Rent a pontoon boat or the Grand 1 Yacht to view the fireworks at Epcot or the Magic Kingdom. Cruises are booked per boat rather than per passenger, and all include a pilot. Call 407-WDW-PLAY for rates and reservations. You can book up to 180 days in advance, and we recommend you call at 7:00 am Eastern Time exactly 180 days in advance, as these cruises are extremely popular. Note: These are sometimes called “specialty” cruises by Disney, as they can’t promise that the fireworks won’t be cancelled.

The popular 'Disney After Hours' event is returning to the Magic Kingdom in 2018. The event features a small number of tickets offered for access to the Magic Kingdom for a few hours, after the park closes to the general public. (Have you always wanted that photo of you alone on in front of the Castle? This is where you get it.) Disney After Hours event nights are currently set for January 19, 26, and 30, February 8 and 15, March 1 and 8, 2018. The price is $126.74 per person (including tax) when purchased in advance, and also includes select snacks and bottled water.
