Here is the amenities list Vacation Planning sent me. I ordered the 50th anniversary celebration basket. The kids love listening to the CD of DL music and I use the photo album to show photos of our trip. I also added a pack of postcards for $5. 714 300-7526 Option #2 To order your basket. You can also order all of your dessert surprise deliveries thru VP. I placed my dining ressies thru VP but many were not there when I showed up to the restaurants. I would suggest making dining ressies thru Disney dining.

As far as I know ordering the basket sets or desserts are the only "gifty" things you can order from them. Does anyone else know of another website? I read on LP somewhere that you can order gift baskets from outside florists in the Anaheim area but they aren't as "Disney" themed. It's more along the lines of chocolates, gourmet food baskets, etc. VP can also set up your dining reservations for you. Although the hostess at Blue Bayou told me VP's computer and the Disney dining computer often don't mesh and there are many mistakes with guests ressies. Resulting in many angry guests..she told me the best bet is to just book your dining ressies thru disney dining.

Just a buzz kill when the kids are all excited for their surprise in the room and there is nothing there. But that little something was a big deal to the kids. And you can't find too many things at DL that are free. Enjoy!

The hotel staff at PPH is awesome in my opinion!
