Ganachery House at Disney Springs

By -

I hope you find this humorous ~ my idiocy for the day!
You know how it seems when things go wrong or one makes mistakes, it is like a roll of them before you get back on track!

That is how my trip seemed to go last go around!

I wanted to give a huge should out to the World of Disney staff of Disney Springs for going above and beyond in correcting MY own mistake!!
Also, it will give others a littler perspective when making certain purchases!

I really wanted to surprise my kids since they were left home while I went to Disney. I wanted a real SPLURGE, something fun and unique!

I saw it, sitting right there as if a spotlight was shining upon on it as soon as I walked into the glittery store!
The Chocolate Ganachery house! SO beautiful and meant to be destroyed with the adorable little hammer! What kid would not like to break something like this apart??? When do we ever get to 'destroy' something that looks so glorious!
Plus, all the yumminess it had waiting at the crack of the hammer!

I purchased it my first day there at night. No problem. It was very cold and the thought of it being an issue never occurred to me! Who would think you would have to 'think' while in the most magical place?!

No problem! I kept it in the room until our last day. My only concern was it getting knocked around in the box while holding and transporting it.

Our last day, we packed the car. We went and did our touring plans; Animal Kingdom Park, Beach club resort, EPCOT and back to Disney Springs for a quick run for Gourmet Cotton Candy(yes it is my new love)
Well.. I got in the car and realized chocolate DOES melt?! WHAT... Chocolate melts at Disney???
In super warm FL weather? I thought all rules cease to exist here.. Let me tell you, they don't.

So my poor house I was to surprise my kids with was now a pile of mush.. Like a chocolate explosion diaper load. FYI~normal food returns are not allowed..
WHAT harm can come to asking?
I took my melting mess back into the store with my head down in shame.
They looked at me like I just provided them with the ultimate dumb tourist story for the day. With my new winning story for them to taut they let me exchange my mess!!! I was SOOOO happy and SOOOO grateful!
Thank you castmembers for saving the day!

SO... what could I have done to have avoided this mess?
I could have left it at guest relations at my resort and picked it back up prior to heading out. It would have saved me lots of time(by not having to exchange it) and would have saved a delicious house. 
I could have bought it on my way leaving Disney as another option.

If Flying! This is maybe something you may want to enjoy during your stay. More than likely TSA would not allow it on the flight and packing it could also create a disaster, They don't ship food items for a reason!

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.
