Want to do something special

I am taking my DBF to Walt Disney World again this year, not really a surprise because we talked about it and planned it but this is our 6 years together and I wanted to do something a little special for him. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I like those last 2.....I supervised him with front row seats to La Nouba last time. He really enjoyed that. Thanks for those ideas

You can take a bottle of wine to either #2 or #3. If you do the carriage ride at POR, the boat ride to DTD is also kind of romantic

They have different 'events' that they do, but for me, we brought her to the fountain on the side of the castle to make her birthday wish in the morning. When she got there, she found this big laminated card saying that Mickey wanted to see her, but there were too many people etc, and gave a clue as to where to find him. There had to be about 9 clues leading her all over the park, sometimes to ride an attraction, and at some of them, she found a little gift (you can buy thru them, but I wrapped and mailed my own). At the last clue, she got an autographed pic of her fav character, and her big gift (we got to see Jane and the pixies wave goodbye across the moat at this point). It took a couple of hours, it was expensive, but I felt it was worth it. Jane, who runs GOL, is absolutely wonderful! Excellent communication (we had to change things the day before because my friend wouldn't go in the HM), and she has 'pixies' watching you during the event, making sure that you find the clues (I got a phone call from my pixie at one point when we were having trouble). The clues were all laminated so you could save them, it was really different and cool.

I found out about them thru these boards, somewhere on this site, there is a great write up about it. The website is Gifts of a Lifetime Home Page.

The carriage ride sounds like a lovely idea.
