For my 100th post, I thought I'd solicit your suggestions.

DD18 is graduating from high school in may, and we are headed to WDW June 10th - 17th for one last family vacation before she heads off to college. :sob:

We are bringing her best friend, so she'll have the fun of introducing her to the joys of Disney. But ...

I'd like to do something special for my new :grad: . She's a great kid - straight A student, VERY talented musician, great sense of humor, and has been such a great help her whole life helping out her two younger brothers, both of whom have Autism.

Any ideas for something special?

Does she have a favorite restaurant, or a new one she'd like to try? You could book dinner there and get a cake.

Is there a tour she'd like, or maybe the dolphin encounter at Epcot?

Maybe something really girly and silly like the BBB or the tea party?

How about a spa package for her and her friend.

I like the pp idea of the spa treatment. Depending on finances, how about a tea at the GF and a spa treatment after or before?

What a nice sentiment. Best wishes for a wonderful trip and good for you for celebrating her!:mickey:

Tea at the GF, a special photo shoot and of course, Graduate Mickey Ears! :mickey:

These are all great ideas. The graduate mickey ears are a must-do.

Where is there a spa and how :spend: is it? I love her, but not THAT much... ;)

Also, what does the tea party serve other than tea? We are LDS (Mormon), so no tea.

Segway tours are for over 16 only. If you can sign the permission paperwork for the friend it might be an adult only thing they could do.

Graduation Mickey Ears, parasailing (if she's adventurous) and the Keys Tour (if she's interested in seeing "behind the scenes" @ WDW).

Let your daughter and her friend have lunch at Chefs de France. They have the cutest waiters in WDW. Devastatingly handsome. They could spend the afternoon flirting in a safe environment...all for a big tip. Awesome.

I just sent you a PM with a link to another site with the menu for the tea party. There look to be a lot of options and I hear it is quite filling.

The behind the scenes tour would be very special!

And keep your daughter away from Chefs de France!!! I ate there with my DW, DD, mom and aunt and they were all in love with our waiter, Jean Christophe! :D
