Hi all - I'm looking for ideas/suggestions for a family friendly bachelorette party *with kids*. I'm traveling to WDW for my annual family-group trip to MNSSHP. Multi-generational, with me as the "senior" (alas... I'm not that senior, but senior-ish). Adults include myself, my CM daughter, the Bride to Be. Kids include my 17 year old daughter and my niece's kids, boy age 6 and girl age 10. We travel as a group at least once a year, leaving the "menfolk" at home, so this is not our first rodeo. We had our MNSSHP long-weekend planned for Aug 26-30. As it happens, my niece is now getting married 2 weeks later! I now want to surprise her with some "Bachelorette Party" stuff. I've got some ideas but could use some more. We always stay at the Grand or Poly, depending on the best deal. We're currently booked in a VGF 2 bedroom villa. We arrive on Friday Aug 26 and have the MNSSHP that night. We're planning a Resort Day for Saturday. Sunday we're doing DHS with Early Entry and Hoop De Doo at 4pm, probably going into MK after that. Since my daughter is a CM and lives in FL she's going to do grocery delivery to the Villa for us, and we'll eat most meals in-room. "Bachelorette" Ideas I've got in mind or have discarded:
- Celebration Cake and Balloons in the room - definitely
- Pontoon boat rental on resort day $45 - definitely
- Cabana for resort day - I think it's unnecessary because VGF is right next to the beach pool
- Trader Sam's with the whole group for a "toast to the bride to be" as soon as they open at 3PM on Sat so we don't have a super long wait - definitely
- Drink at Enchanted Rose - definitely
- MK Capture Your Moment photo session for the bride-to-be $79 - yes. PROPS? Wedding ears? Bachelorette sash? Or are those "out" or "corny"?
- "I'm Celebrating" pin with "Getting Married" lettering done at the Christmas Shoppe in MK (looks really cute and my CM daughter can do ahead of time)
- VIP Tour - no way, too expensive
- Fireworks Cruise (pontoon) - I'd like to do this but have ruled it out since it's in $400 range. Will just watch fireworks from the resort on resort day.
- MK Fireworks Dessert Party - I'd do Plaza View because I like the party, the designated viewing area and the view. Unfortunately, I tried to book at my 60 day and zero availability. Bummer.
- "Fancy" CRT dinner in lieu of Hoop De Doo. Could do, but we've all been to CRT and BOG multiple times, have never done Hoop as a Group and it could be fun. Undecided.
