We all know that a Walt Disney World vacation is magical in its own right, but have you ever wanted to add a little extra style to your stay?

Big and Small, 11 Ways You can Add Extra Magic to Your Next Disney Vacation

Whether it’s your first time or your tenth time, you can elevate the style of your Disney World vacation by adding a little extra magic and style (with something for every budget). 

 

 

Here are 11 easy ways to add a little extra style and flair to your Walt Disney World vacation, they’re not all cheap, but there is something here for every price point and Disney travel budget. 

 

 

Why not surprise your travel party with one or more of these 11 Disney travel style experiences?

 

 

Ever since Disney’s Magical Express disappeared, guests have had to pay for their transportation to and from Orlando International Airport. A great way to elevate the style of your Walt Disney World vacation is to start at the beginning: with a limo service from the airport to your Disney resort hotel (and back again). You have to pay for transport anyway, so for approximately $200 round trip (give or take a little) you can ride in style and really have a great experience.

 

 

One of the easiest ways to elevate the style of your Disney vacation is to stay in a Disney Deluxe hotel close to your favorite Disney Park. There really is a noticeable difference between Disney Value Resorts, Moderate Resorts and Deluxe Resorts. From a more magical ambiance, to dining, amenities and park proximity, staying in a Disney Deluxe resort hotel can definitely elevate the style of your Disney World vacation. There are Deluxe Resorts at different price points as well, so consider this awesome surprise for your travel party, who will definitely feel they’ve upgraded their Disney style. 

 

Warming: Please note that it may be very difficult to downgrade your Disney resort hotel category after experiencing a Disney Deluxe Resort.

 

A great way to do Disney vacation in style is with a VIP Tour or other backstage experience or tour. Not only will you feel extra special on any guided tour, but this is Disney Parks style in its finest form. I mean, you get a lanyard (and sometimes more), so that says traveling in style right there…right? There are many tours from which to choose (from the ultra-premium VIP tour, to more price-friendly park-themed tours), so be sure to check them out and book in advance as they can fill up quickly.

 

Staying in a Disney World Deluxe Resort is one thing, but you can elevate that experience even further if you really want to go in style. By choosing a Club Level room at a Deluxe Resort, you’ll open up a whole new world of upscale style – from Club Level Lounge offerings to private Club Level Concierge’s – that will really put the style meter to a whole new level.

 

 

If a VIP Tour is not in your budget, the next best way to add a similar style experience to your vacation is with a Lightning Lane Premier Pass. With this pass, you and your party can use the Lightning Lane for every single attraction in one park, one time each, for one day, without having to make any reservations. Sound great? It can be and it’s a good way to do a Disney Park in style. 

 

 

Don’t feel like standing in crowds to watch fireworks or the nighttime show at Magic Kingdom or EPCOT? No problem, do it in style by booking a fireworks cruise experience. Boats can hold up to 10 guests and you are chartering the entire boat, so if you have less than 10 guests this can really feel like the ultimate in Disney style.

 

 

Nothing says going in style like a relaxing time at a spa and the ultimate spa experience at Walt Disney World is located at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa (it’s right in the name!).

 

With an elegant Victorian style and a relaxing garden-inspired atmosphere, you can elevation your Disney vacation time with a spa experience that suits your style. There are even couple’s offerings and something for your 14-17-year-olds if you they go with you. Relax and recharge in style after a day in the parks.

 

 

While a Disney Deluxe Resort is a worthy style elevation, you can take it in another direction by booking a Disney Deluxe Villa. With a Deluxe Villa, you’ll get all of the amenities of the Deluxe Resort, but your room (studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom or three-bedroom) will be more like a vacation villa or condo than a hotel room. Relax in style with your own kitchen/kitchenette, dining area, laundry facilities and more. Make your Walt Disney World vacation a villa vacation (and you don’t need to be a Disney Vacation Club member to book one).

 

 

Want to go in style with your snacking? Who needs the same old snacks that any Disney guest can buy when you can custom create your very own Disney popcorn? This is a fun and inexpensive way to elevate your vacation snacking style. You can find this unique experience at the Kernel Kitchen in Magic Kingdom Park (where the old hat shop used to be in Town Square).

 

 

Photo memories from Walt Disney World are classic, but you can take your in-park photo experience to the next level by booking a Capture Your Moment photos session in your favorite park. You’ll definitely feel special during this experience and you’ll come away with lifelong photo memories and a magical time! Search “Capture Your Moment” on the Disney World website.

 

 

If you want to elevate the style of your Walt Disney World vacation literally, then a hot air balloon ride at Disney Springs is definitely worth it. This is super fun on clear days and at night (if you time it with fireworks, you’re in for an extra special treat), as you get some amazing views and photos from 400 feet in the air. Instead of just watching the Aerophile balloon soar over Disney Springs, why not surprise your group with an experience they’ll never forget. The balloon holds 29 people, but there are times when it’s not full to capacity, which makes it even more magical. Definitely a unique way to experience the world in style.
