Holiday sleigh rides are back at the Wilderness Lodge! They will be offered from December 1, 2006 - December 30, 2006. The sleigh ride is 25 minutes in length and it departs every half hour from 5:30 pm - 9:30 pm. The cost is $35 and the sleigh can accomodate 4 adults (or 2 adult and 3 kiddies, ages 9 and under). You can make your sleigh ride reservation by called 1-407-WDW-PLAY.

There is a new shop at Downtown Disney called Goofy’s Candy Company and they have the coolest snack there…you get to Create Your Own Treat!

You get to choose a base (i.e. marshmallow, pretzel, rice krispy treat, caramel apple, etc.), choose what to dip it in (i.e. dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, or dark chocolate), and choose what to top it with (i.e. oreos, sprinkles, m&m’s, pecans, etc.).

After you turn your card in, just wait 5 minutes or so and when your custom treat is ready, your name will be called over the intercom!

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here is a tip for resort guests who are on the Disney Dining Plan…most of the treats (most everything except the apple) count as a snack credit!!! IMO, it’s one of the best snack options on property! SUPER-YUMMY!!

There two individual miniature golf spots at Walt Disney World: Winter Summerland and Fantasia Gardens. It costs $10.75 adults and $8.50 for kids, ages 3 - 9 (TIP: WDW annual passholders are usually eligible for a discount). It’s the perfect way to spend an afternoon when you’re taking a day off from park hopping. But be careful on those hot summer days because in my experience, there is not a huge amount of shade available.

Winter Summerland is located near Blizzard Beach and it is themed as Santa Claus’s off-season retreat! There are 2 separate courses here, one is themed similarly to Blizzard Beach (think snow in Florida) and the other has a tropical Christmas theme.

Fantasia Gardens is located near the Epcot Resort area. I’ve personally had the pleasure of playing here with my Mom and husband and I can assure you that it’s very cute There are also 2 courses here and both have a Fantasia theme with classical music from Fantasia playing throughout (who’d a thunk it?). HINT: the Gardens course is MUCH easier than the Fairways course.
