Scooters/EVCs and Strollers

Need a Stroller or EVC while at Disney World?  Want fair pricing and resort drop off and pick up?  The following are companies that I have used for clients and personally for rentals.  Each of these are "Disney Dana" tested and approved and will make life so much easier while you are in Walt Disney World.  Both of these places deliver directly to your Disney World Resort and pick up when you are done.  These will all save you time and money over renting in the parks.  I have had nothing but exceptional service!


For all your EVC needs.


For Strollers and Crib Rentals.



Resort Room Surprises

Resort room surprises are just one way to enhance your Disney experience.  Disney has a florist for this type of thing, but they are expensive and getting custom themes and items is not always possible.  You kind of get what they have and pay a premium for it.  Any one who has dealt with me as a Travel Expert or in "real life" knows that I will not over-pay for anything.   That being said, I have tried quite a few companies who you can order custom merchandise and baskets from.  There is one that I really love to deal with who stands out for fast response time and super fair pricing.  That company is  "Disney Dreams Delivered".  

This is a wedding basket they made for a client of mine.
By the way:  If you book your honeymoon with me, I give you this FREE 
with a full package.  Email me for the details and qualifications.


So, you want to know how to reach out and get a basket for someone in your travel party?  Maybe you want to surprise a loved one who is going and didn't think to bring you with them?  Maybe you want to send one to yourself cause you're worth it?

Here's the skinny.  Follow the link to their Facebook Page.  LIKE their page!  Message them and VIOLA!  Magic is on the way.  Do tell them Disney With Dana sent you!  They have something for just about any budget!
