Using the MouseWatcher alert system we were able to get a reservation for <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/dining\/wilderness-lodge-resort\/artist-point\/\">Storybook Dining<\/a>, the brand new character dining experience at <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/dining\/wilderness-lodge-resort\/artist-point\/\">Artist Point<\/a>, and our very first princess breakfast at <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/dining\/magic-kingdom\/cinderella-royal-table\/\">Cinderella\u2019s Royal Table<\/a>. We also snagged a reservation at Chef Paul and spots at the <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/dining\/magic-kingdom\/tomorrowland-terrace-fireworks-dessert-party-plaza-view\/\">Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Party.<\/a><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re also looking forward to some of our favorite, never miss foods. <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/dining\/magic-kingdom\/caseys-corner\/\">Casey\u2019s Corner<\/a> hot dogs and parade watching are ritual for every trip. <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/dining\/epcot\/refreshment-port\/\">Poutine <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/dining\/epcot\/africa-outpost\/\">Brown Elephants<\/a> in Epcot are a must and Tonga Toast at <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/dining\/polynesian-resort\/kona-cafe\/\">Kona Cafe<\/a> if at all possible.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So much magical food and so little time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Magical Extras<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re also taking advantage of a pilot program Disney is offering. In January 2018 Disney quietly starting testing a program that lets guests staying in rooms at select Walt Disney World resort hotels that are eligible for Disney Signature Services, and who have purchased a 3-day or longer theme park ticket or Annual Pass are able to purchase a new \u201ctheme park extra.\u201d Essentially, If you book a club level stay at Disney World deluxe resorts you can purchase 3 additional FastPasses per person per day. As a bonus, these Fast Passes aren\u2019t bound to the rules of regular FastPasses. That means there\u2019s no tier restrictions and they can be used in different parks on the same day. The cost is $50 plus tax per person per day with a minimum booking of 3 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>FastPass Pilot Program:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Three additional FastPass+ selections per day. <\/li><li>Ability to reserve these three additional FastPass+ selections in more than one theme park when a valid Park Hopper option is also purchased. <\/li><li>Booking window of up to 90 days in advance for these three additional FastPass+ selections and the ability to book them at multiple top-tier attractions.<\/li><li>$50 plus tax per person per day.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, since this is a pilot program, the only way to take advantage of it is to call Disney Signature Services 90 days before the last day of your stay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re also going to finally try out the <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/guest-services\/minnie-van-service\/\">Minnie Van service.<\/a><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mousewatcher.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/FastPass_MagicBand_sq-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"37\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mousewatcher.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=37\" class=\"wp-image-37\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mousewatcher.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/minnievans_sq-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"38\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mousewatcher.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=38\" class=\"wp-image-38\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s lots of new experiences in store for the MouseWatcher team on this trip!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ll be posting all the food and fun of our trip on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MouseWatcher\/\">Facebook <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mousewatcherapp\/?hl=en\">Instagram <\/a>so be sure to follow us.
