If I do it myself, any suggestions? or if I have Disney do it, any suggestions there either? My oldest, 5, thinks she's going to Nana's new house, so I can really have some fun with this one!

They have great Diseny character bouquets which I think are much cuter and better tasting than the ones you get through Disney. They will deliver to the hotel.

Originally Posted By dlkozy Agreed. There are cheaper places to stay-but you are usually trading $$ for extras. By having another company besides Disney provide the product-they too will deliver, and IMHO, provide a better product.
