Pick a Pearl at EPCOT's Japan

By -

We experienced the fun of picking a pearl at EPCOT's Japan inside World Showcase.

We had such a great time with it the last time that we wanted to do it again!
Watch it action HERE

There are many places(little kiosks) around Walt Disney World where you can pick a pearl but the best location for a true experience is Japan.
They make a true cultural tradition of it. $16.95 per oyster selected. A pearl is guaranteed with each selection. The surprise is how large your pearl is and what color! Some lucky ones can get twin pearls!! We were lucky and received a silver, Silver blue, White & pink from our picks. Average size is 7. They place the pearl in a little baggy with the size listed.

There are also many ways to display your pearl. My son and Daughter chose a little sand bottle that was only $4.95 each. They have different colored sand options as well. At that age(son 13, daughter 5), I thought it best to let it stay in the bottle versus buying a necklace or bracelet.

One can always select a nicer holder for later as an option. Many pearl cages/pendants are available for purchase by the Pearl kiosks. I opted for one, a clam style $44.95. The quality was high and I was very content with it. You can also find holders on Etsy, Amazon or E-bay. I wanted to have in hand to see the quality.

One thing to consider for those with sensory issues, they do bang the gong for each customer.
You can request them not to do it for your turn. We did that on our subsequent visits. Of course, they still do for other guests. We stand back or I cover the ears for mine.

The Disney Cruise Lines offer Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Makeover with more options than you could ever get at the parks!!!! (Fantasy & Dream boats) You can get First Mate, Pirate, Mermaid, Princess and even a star Wars makeover (depending on the sailing you book under) We did the standard Princess Makeover although we have done Pirates in the past (for son and daughter) It is always a fantastic experience! The children feel so special with all the extra attention with makeover to boot! How do you not love that?! They do start around $19.00 for boys and $55.00 starting rate for girls. They can definitely escalate depending on the amazing options you could add to it from $100, $200 and even $750.00 (Yes, You read that correctly~$750.00) Of course booking for this opens when your cruise registration opens. You must be paid in full and the opening registration depends on If you are a new cruiser or the Castaway Club level you are. Previous sailings I have always booked arou

virtual Run Disney review from Dealing with Disney

I decided to finally see what the virtual Disney Runs were all about. A friend of mine told me she signed up. She wanted to keep her momentum going which inspired me to look into as well. I have learned to love the Run Disney events. It appears they offer seasonal Virtual events options from the Run Disney website. (see link HERE ) There were 3 races available to choose from or a full circuit registration containing all 3 races. This came with a bonus medal as well.  Each event was $45.00 and the combined package was $145.00. This was more $$ obviously but ok, I can see they have added in the cost of the extra medal you earn. What does this get me or should I say, what do I get out of this event? I can see the Disney love of just doing it for Disney,  doing it for the medal or doing it to keep momentum of working towards goals. All options seemed very reasonable to me and got me excited, therefore I signed up for the gauntlet. My friend pointed out her whole family

Walt Disney World Halloween 2020 re-opening experiences by Dealing with Disney

My review from my latest Disney world experience.   This trip was definitely not one of my favorites! Before you read all my cons.. .Keep  in mind, I still enjoyed this trip.  The main point of this is to have proper expectation for your needs/stay. If you go into a park without proper expectation, it can really throw your trip OFF!  We had some great moments. We had some rest spots - drinks - treats which were nice.   One amazing PLUS: The security checks are a breeze now! No lie.. their big concern are umbrellas and water bottles (metal ones) tend to set off the machines. They ask for those to be pulled out of back packs but all other items you can walk through with!  I loved still having the time to appreciate the little things in the park that we take for granted. The craftsmanship in all the art around the park/architecture , the plant life every where!   I will be honest, part of the reason was due to my own family! Hey, I always like to keep It real-in perspective we shall say.
