Get Mickey to call your kids on Christmas Day...

Walt Disney World announced a really nice travel-related feature a couple of weeks ago. I could have posted it immediately, but I wanted to check into a bit, just in case it was too good to be true. (No, it's not a new special rate or anything, but it's pretty cute.)

If you have Disney vacation coming up in the New Year, why not have Mickey Mouse himself break the news to your kids?

If you have a Disney World booking, you can go to a special website, enter your booking number and a few other details, and Mickey will call your house some time on Christmas Day to let your family know that a visit to Disney is on the cards in the new year.

There are a couple of potential problems with this service, but as far as I can tell, they are not stopping people from at least signing up for the service - (whether Mickey calls or not, is another matter, but kids can't be disappointed by not getting what they didn't know they would be getting, right?...)

The first is that it is supposedly for NEW bookings only (after the announce date of 28th November). I have been completely unable to get a definitive answer if that is correct or not, or whether if you add an existing booking number you can arrange for the phone call, but at least one client has been able to sign up with a booking made before November 28th...

The second problem is that the service is supposedly not offered in Quebec. (This must be to do with Mickey not being able to speak French!). However, again at least one of my clients (a resident of Quebec) was able to sign up, so you should give it a go anyway.

My goal is to email each of my clients with holidays booked for January through March, about this service, hoping not to cause too much disappointment if it doesn't work. However, if you happen to be reading this blog before you get your email from me - why not try to sign up!

You will need your Disney booking number also...

Hope it works for you all!!
