Why Use Tink's Magical Vacations?

Tink’s Magical Vacations is a vacation planning service specializing in Disney destination vacations.  The people who work for our company are highly qualified.  We are Disney travel specialists; all of our agents are College of Disney Knowledge graduates and regular Disney vacationers.  Our travel agency is CLIA certified, meaning that we have received specialized cruise line training.  Tink’s has direct access to all Disney promotions and specials, and we are notified the minute they are available.

We offer our concierge services to our clients for FREE; we don’t tack on extra fees to what Disney is already charging you for your vacation.  When you book with us, you will not pay a single cent more for your vacation than if you were to book direct with Disney.  In many cases, you will pay less once we apply little known discounts and promotions to your reservation.  How do we make any profit if our services are free to our customers?  We receive a small commission from Disney after you travel for taking good care of you.

What does concierge service by a Tink Agent actually mean?  At Walt Disney World and Disneyland we can assist you with dining reservations, help you select a resort to stay at that meets your exacting standards, advise you on crowd trends, give you information on the times for parades, fireworks, special events, and when extra magic hours are offered.  If you book a vacation at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Aulani, and Adventures by Disney, our agents will be offering some surprise pixie dust benefits.  For Disney Cruise Line, we recommend itineraries and ships based on your vacation calendar, advise you on complex stateroom options, and offer tips on excursions and sundry other matters.  We also offer onboard credits (based on voyage fare) to our cruise clients.

Making a vacation work financially can be challenging.  We completely understand that you want your dollar to stretch as much as possible.  We keep this in mind during every step of the vacation planning process.  As we tailor your Disney vacation, we are dedicated to finding you with the best price, including any available discounts, for your vacation.

We look forward to serving you, your family, and your friends.  When you have a craving for some vacation time with our pal Mickey, we hope you’ll contact us.

Harmony Barber Shop on Main St.

The magic of Walt Disney World (that has called us back so many times) are the hidden gems that make every trip a new memory! The Harmony Barber Shop on Main Street in Magic Kingdom is one of those hidden gems. It’s a real, working Barber shop where guests can get haircuts ($19.00 for adults, $15.00 for children age 10 and under) or for $5, you can change your hair color for a day with brightly colored gel.

The harmony Barber shop also specializes in First Haircuts. Both, Mallory and Vivian have had their First Haircuts at the Harmony Barber Shop; where, they received a complimentary Mickey Ears hat with "First Haircut" stitched on the back and a certificate of the unforgettable event to take home. The "First Haircut" experience is $18.

** Please confirm prices and schedules as Disney reserves the right to change them as needed.

Looking for Unique Disney World Souvenirs?

I believe there are a million different souvenirs (probably more!) you can buy at Disney World; however, I tried to gathered a few that separate themselves as unique.   

Mr. Potato Head Parts

You can fill up a container of Mr. Potato Head parts (many of them exclusive to Disney parks) for a set cost.

Locations: Once Upon a Toy in Downtown Disney
Price: $20 for the box, $50 for the large potato head container

Tips:

1. Be sure to get several sets of extra arms as they’re the only ones that can hold the Disney stuff – regular Mr. Potato Head arms don’t hold his: Mickey ice cream bar, camera, autograph book, or Mickey balloon once you get home.
2. Buy your actual Potato Heads at home. Space is at a premium and you don’t want to waste it with something you can get for next-to-nothing back home.
3. Pack the big pieces first. Little pieces can be crammed wherever there’s room.
4. Check your pieces to see if they’re a left/right set: arms, pirate ears w/earrings, Mickey gloves, etc. all have a left and right. 
5. Little goes in big. Ticket fits inside the suitcase. Mickey gloves fit in the bottom of Mickey’s shoes. Eyes fit in the underside of hats.
6. Don’t bother boxing the whopper pieces like the Dumbo ride elephant, Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin ride car, Ariel’s tail, or the open Mary Poppins umbrella. They either won’t fit in your box or they’ll take up way too much room. You can pay about $2/piece or be sprinkled with pixie dust and get them for *Free.*
7. Look for sets like Tinkerbell (shoes, wig, wings, & wand), Darth Vadar (mask, feet, arms, & body), Maleficent (hat, wand), Donald Duck (bill, hat), Pirates of the Caribbean (hat, boots, parrot, scarf).

Super Secret Spy Tip: you can ask a Cast Member for help to fill your box.  Take a shopping basket, go around the bin and choose one (or whatever #) of every piece you'd like. Then ask a CM, with Tetris puzzle-solving skills, to help you fit all those pieces in. 

Personalized Disney Ornaments 

Remember your family vacation by buying a Disney-themed ornament that you can even get personalized if you’d like.

Locations: Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe at Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Days of Christmas in Downtown Disney
Price: Varies
Tips: Go early in your trip in case it takes days to get the personalized ornaments finished. The Downtown Disney location has a much wider selection than the Magic Kingdom location.

Pick a Pearl

Pick a Pearl allows you to pick an oyster from a tank, a CM will cut it open and inside and then you’ll get a pearl, or 2!  The pearl is then measured and put into a baggie or you can choose to have it set in jewelry right at the store to be picked up later. 

Location: Mitsukoshi store in the Japan section of EPCOT’s World Showcase
Price: $15 (settings are separate)
Tips: Pick the hairiest, ugliest oyster to increase your chances of getting 2 pearls

Silhouettes

 

Have a silhouette drawn to remember your trip.   The artists can do these in as little as 60 seconds. Check out this video from Disneyland of how they do it.  http://www.viddler.com/v/d491ab0d

Locations: Downtown Disney, EPCOT near France, the Magic Kingdom on Main Street (a cart in an alley about halfway down on the right as you enter the park) and in Liberty Square at Magic Kingdom
Price: $9/each (you can get it framed as well for an additional cost)
