Between the classic and innovative attractions to the iconic food options and the opportunity to rub elbows with classic Disney characters, there are so many reasons why a trip to Disney is a top vacation destination for families around the globe.

Guests’ Favorite Disney Characters are the Inspiration for New Couture Makeovers at Walt Disney World Salons
From Ursula and Bambi to Cinderella and Minnie Mouse, guests are now indulging in an array of custom character-inspired makeovers at salons across Walt Disney World Resort. Disney’s new Character Couture packages offer sophisticated hairstyles, as well as detailed makeup and nail designs inspired by Disney characters.
“This is all about creating a stylish, new way for guests to have fun and be creative,” said Joseph Motowidlak, guest experience manager at Walt Disney World Spas. “Our makeover experts consult with guests to create a character-inspired look that captures their personality and Disney style. It’s a salon experience only Disney could create.”
Makeovers are available for guests ages four and up. And with a little pixie dust, style options are limitless at a Disney salon. An out-of-this-world galactic transformation inspired by Star Warscharacters, a regal style befitting a Disney Princess, or a spooky-yet-glamorous look inspired by a Disney Villain are just a few of the possibilities.
Packages and Locations
Whatever look guests choose, they get to step into the stories of their favorite characters with these transformative makeovers. That starts with choosing from three makeover options. Storybook Style features a character-inspired hairstyle, including fancy up-do. Magical Makeover compliments the hairstyle with intricate makeup. Rounding out the options, the Timeless Transformation includes hairstyle, makeup and nails.
Services are available at salons at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels including Ivy Trellis at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, La Vida Salon at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, and Salon by the Springs at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.
Experiencing a Character Couture makeover can be a fun day out for best friends, a great way to get dolled up before a birthday or anniversary celebration, or a unique way to express a guest’s individual style while on vacation.
More Ways to Feel and Look Your Best
Whether at one of Disney’s signature spas or full-service salons, Character Couture packages are just some of the pampering options available. Other services include manicures, pedicures, massages, facials and more.
Appointments are strongly recommended. To make a reservation, guests can call (407) WDW-SPAS, or (407) 939-7727.

How Much A Disney World Ticket Cost The Year You Were Born
The most magical place on Earth comes with a pretty steep price tag. Right now, a one day ticket to Magic Kingdom at Disney World will set you back $119 — and you’ll pay even more if you want to get into the other three parks. But decades ago, when Disney World first opened, a ticket was a mere $3.50. Here’s how the price has gone up every year in between.
What Are Disney World Dessert Parties? These Events Involve Sweet Treats & Spectacular Shows
“Disney World Dessert Party.” What the heck is a Disney World Dessert Party?, I found myself wondering — so, naturally, I took myself on an adventure across the wide reaches of the internet to get to the bottom of the question.
THE 16 BEST DISNEY RIDES YOU MUST GO ON AT LEAST ONCE
“IMAGINE A ROLLER COASTER… BUT IN THE DARK!” This was the feverish whisper passed amongst us first-graders. The biggest, baddest, and scariest theme park experience was none other than Space Mountain. And if you were a first-grader who got to ride it, and lived to tell the tale, you were basically a hero. And everyone wants to be a hero.
New Details Revealed for Dining Locations at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
A few months ago, we shared updates for some of the common areas at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort at Walt Disney World® Resort. Today we have more exciting news about two dining locations.
When the reimagining of Old Port Royale is complete in just a few months, the former Shutters table-service restaurant will open in an all-new location as Sebastian’s Bistro!
Located along the Old Port Royale waterfront, Sebastian’s Bistro will feature beautiful views, warm island hospitality and a menu that blends Latin and Caribbean flavors from market-fresh ingredients.
When you arrive at the casual, family-friendly restaurant, they’ll be welcomed by a blue shiplap marquee featuring everyone’s favorite red crustacean. And inside, Guests will feel as though they’ve just stepped into a tropical beachfront home.
Every detail celebrates the natural beauty of the Caribbean – from coral patterns and kelp filigree, to lure-inspired art and nautical designs. Your Clients may even notice abstract artwork and landscapes featuring Sebastian and friends.
We’re also excited to give you a look at the resort’s quick-service dining location, Centertown Market.
As previously shared, Centertown Market will be expanded to create an indoor street market vibe.
Your Clients will enter the space under a large palapa-like structure, accented with glowing, colored light pendants made from glass bottles. The market will feature open shutters, wooden light posts, awnings, ornamentation and unique seating areas. Guests will also have access to the Grab n’ Go market for specialty coffee and quick bites.
Stay tuned for more details!
