Walt Disney World is such a fun vacation with so many add on features that you could never get bored, no matter how many times you visit The Mouse. However, some extras cost more than others and it all really comes down to your priorities and budget while on vacation. The first few times we went to Walt Disney World with my daughter we were truly just lucky to be there. We were young parents (and still are), with my husband still in college and working to support our family while I stayed home to take care of our baby. So extras like a spa day just weren’t possible for us at that time. One thing I learned in the early years of our family is that with a little creativity you don’t miss out on anything and actually make some of the very best memories!
So instead of wishing for things such as a pricey spa day at the Saratoga Springs Spa with my daughter, I created an in room spa that we have enjoyed ever since! I like to head down to the Basin Store at the Marketplace in Downtown Disney and pick up a few girly, good smelling bath products for us to use on our spa night. They have some really fun products such as bath bombs, bath salts and soaps for really affordable prices. They do a 3 for $15 deal on several of their products and a mix and match deals as well. It is really great priced bath items, especially for a special occasion. If you plan ahead, you could also bring your own bath products from home. Bubble bath, nail polish and facial masks pack easy and don’t take up too much space.
After you have your bath products picked out, head out and find your favorite treats around Walt Disney World and get it to go! I love to get a few cupcakes from Starring Rolls to take back to the Resort room. Another option would be to get some fancy caramels from Karamell Kuche in Germany at Epcot. My daughter and I love to sample all of our fancy treats while relaxing letting our face masks harden and watching a movie.
Start the night off by getting all relaxed using whatever bath products you’ve picked up. Once all clean put on your favorite jammies and enjoy some treats while doing facials and painting nails. Finish your evening off by falling asleep to a good movie and you should be totally rejuvenated for a full day at Walt Disney World when you wake up!
There is magic in everything at Walt Disney World and sometimes it is up to you to create your own. Instead of spending $200.00 on a spa evening with my daughter at one of the spa’s on property, I usually spend about $20-$30 and make priceless memories! It is a wonderful evening that we both look forward to every trip we take!
