They are wonderful there, so I guess your staying on property, you should also ask for an autographed picture of the characters to be given to your daughter upon check in. We did this for my kids and they loved it. My daughter has it framed on her shelf.

We are getting to GCH on Sunday and my kids have never gone (heck I haven't been there since I was 10--the year of the 35th celebration... I want to do something special for the kids, but don't want to go overboard if they aren't going to use it/play with it... thanks! mary
Originally Posted By ssturgeo cptmemo...yes, just call VP and they will have autographed pictures for you. Just let them know who their favorite characters are. I did this for my granddaughter in March and they were waiting for us at check-in, along with a couple of nice souvineer post cards...and, since it was her birthday, a bouquet of birthday balloons...no charge for any of this. I did order a couple of other things...the California Cooler Pack and the Birthday Basket...was very pleased with both! I love VP...the CM's and service is great! Sharon Next trip Nov. 16-22

We ordered a welcome basket that had fruit, cheese and crackers, cookies, and a mini plush for when we first got there and then the second night, we ordered the Mickey rice krispie treats and milk and both things were wonderful.
