“Grand” and magical memories can be made with your grandkids at Walt Disney World®

Time spent with grandchildren is the best way to make memories of you that they will always have and treasure. Some will argue that you should wait to create extraordinary events or vacations when the child will “remember” the fun. We have all learned in the last year, that we should not take a single day for granted and enjoy our loved ones whenever we can. Those moments are easily captured with today’s technology and the devices we have in the palm of our hands. Then you can share those memories & ensure that they are remembered for years to come. Wouldn’t you prefer to enjoy the moments when your grandchild’s eyes sparkle when they “believe” that they are seeing their favorite character in person for the first time? Why not be there for their first ride on an attraction that brings their favorite movie to life? Whatever your grand’s age, they are always the “perfect age” to experience the magic at Walt Disney World or other Disney destinations.

The important thing is to make time to enjoy your grandkids now, don’t wait! We are The Mouse Experts and we are “the plan behind the magic”® on a Walt Disney World® vacation. Whether you want to go it alone without the parents, or you prefer to gather the entire family for an adventure beyond compare, we can plan a personalized dream vacation come true.

One of our top picks for a Grand resort stay… Disney’s Yacht Club Resort

Disney’s Yacht Club Resort is conveniently located within walking distance to Epcot and Hollywood Studios or you can take a boat ride from this lakeside resort to either of those theme parks. Here are some other amenities and feature that make this resort a favorite:

Discover a life-size shipwreck, pools, lagoons and more at Stormalong Bay—a 3-acre water wonderland. Climb the mast and zip down one of the highest hotel waterslides at Walt Disney World Resort. Catch currents on an inner tube in the lazy river, unwind in one of 3 whirlpool spas and relax on the elevated tanning deck. Children can wade into the main pool from a gentle slope and splash about in 2 kiddie pools—including one with a miniature waterslide.
Keep up your exercise routine and the The Ship Shape Health Club. Whether you’re looking for functional, cardio or strength training, the equipment and gear you need is available here.
Ale and Compass Restaurant. This seaworthy spot is a comfortable place to relax and refuel before and after a day of adventure. Be sure to try the truffle fries with a roasted shallot aioli dipping sauce! You will want to save room for the 12 layer Chocolate Cake for dessert.
Dog-Friendly Accommodations. Bring your pampered pooch to stay with you at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. Limit 2 dogs per room
