Did You Know...

Walt Disney: Marceline to Magic Kingdom Tour
Did you know that Walt Disneys boyhood home was in Marceline, MO?
Walts family moved to Marceline
when he was 4. The fond memories
he had of Marceline led him to create
the iconic glimpse of Americana
known as Main Street, U.S.A.
This small railroad town inspired a
lifelong fascination for Walt, and
though the Disneys would live there
only 4 years, this idyllic boyhood
backdrop was never forgotten. By the
time Walt had his own family, it
fueled his vision of Disneyland as a
place to spend quality time with his
daughters.
Walt Disneys Magic Kingdom
offers a 3-hour tour that looks at
how key events in Walt Disneys
life inspired the Magic Kingdom
park and the beloved attractions
within it. On this walking tour,
discover some of the secrets behind the magic.

Disneys Beach
Club Resort
Disneys Beach Club Resort is a
Deluxe resort along Crescent
Lake in the Epcot area. Its turn
of the century New England
design gives it the feel of the
lazy days of summer along the
seaside. This Disney Vacation
Club property was designed by noted architect Robert A. M. Stern and features pastel colors and intricate wood accents. Disneys Beach Club Resort is the sister resort
of Disneys Yacht Club and they are one complex that connects in the middle. Disneys Beach Club Resort has 576 guest rooms, offering two types of viewsstandard

Disneys Beach Club Resort pool, Stormalong Bay, is arguably the best resort pool on
Disney property. Stormalong Bay is a 3 acre beachside water park featuring a lifesized shipwreck replica with a 230 foot slide, one of the highest waterslides at a Disney resort. The pool itself has a sand bottom and a lazy river, where guests can rent
pool noodles or a personal size raft. Guests can also relax in hot tubs as well. There is
also a quiet pool for those that would like a more secluded atmosphere.
There are many dining options at Disneys Beach Club Resort. If guests are looking for

at Cape May Caf. Casual dining is available at Beaches & Cream Soda Shop, Cape
May Caf, and Captains Grille. There are also three lounges, Ale & Compass Lounge,

room service is also available.
Guests may take time from their vacation for a workout in the Ship Shape Health
Club, a 24-hour state-of-the-art fitness center.

FastPass+ Selections
Did you know that FastPass+ selections can begin
60 days prior to your arrival at your Disney World
Resort? Did you know that you can only select 3
per day in any single park? Did you know that you
can now obtain a fourth, fifth or even a sixth
FastPass+ on any given day in the parks? These
are questions that our Memory Makers will make
sure you have the answers to. Your Memory Maker will remind you when your FP+ selection window is about to open and help you make the best
3 selections for the park you plan on visiting on
each day. We will also explain to you the process
on how and where to obtain other FP+ while in
the parks. After you have used your original 3 preselected FP+, you may go to a kiosk, which are
located throughout the parks and select another
FP+. These and more helpful tips will be passed
onto you by your Memory Maker as you plan your
Magical Disney Vacation.

Aulani, a Disney Resort

and Spa
Geri and Jennifers Aulani Adventure
In October, Geri and Jennifer had the opportunity
to visit Aulani on a Travel Agent Appreciation Program. Over the next
few months you will
read what they discovered at Aulani,
Disneys Resort and
Spa on Oahu.

Aulani - Day 2
We spent the morning walking around
the resort, checking
out the cove and pools. There are several pools
including a kids play area, adult only pool and an
infinity edge family pool. We found several secluded areas with the pools to enjoy the scenery and
the quietness. Down by
the Cove, there are
lounge chairs and umbrellas to use on a first
come first serve basis.
The cove is shared in
part with the hotel next
door, with a clear separation of Disney Guests
and the others. The water was clear and the
perfect temperature for
taking a dip!
