Among the devotees of all things Disney, there's never a need for pixie dust to convince anyone that it's prime time for a magical getaway.They already know that all the company’s theme parks are up to their mouse ears in the Happiest Celebration on Earth – a grand global wingding launched last July to mark the milestone birthday of Disneyland in Southern California, where it all began a half-century ago.

The company is not only serving up a smorgasbord of new shows and attractions from Anaheim to Orlando and Tokyo to Paris-not to mention Hong Kong Disneyland, which debuted in September – but continuing the party at full tilt for 18 months.

If a Disney jaunt is on your calendar, you don’t want to miss out on a program guaranteed to grant your fondest wishes. Not a new offering-but not widely known, either-Disney’s VIP Tour Services are sure to put a smile on the face of any traveler with a taste for the best.

“It’s a personal, one-on-one service for guests who want the ultimate in a Disney vacation,” says Rob Highfill, coordinator of Special Activities and VIP Tour Services at Walt Disney World. “We’ve found that there are people who are accustomed to having assistance in their everyday lives, and who want the same sort of service when they come here, along with higher-end amenities and a more luxurious experience. The greatest thing is that they don’t have to be opening maps and checking on show schedules, or even thinking about what to do next. All of this is handled by their guide. If they utilize our transportation service, they’ll be whisked away to backstage parking locations and enter the area directly.”

Would you relish a private tennis lesson, or a round or two on a great golf course? A session behind the wheel of a race car, or rejuvenating treatments at a spa? Just ask.

“Once the hotel reservation is made, we can handle everything else from custom-tailoring tours to meeting guests at the airport,” Highfill says. “Any guest at a Disney World resort can book our services, although most are staying at the premium resorts.”

Indeed, the sweet life at the top properties should prove irresistible to all who prefer to take their getaways with a spoonful of sugar. Eight deluxe resort hotels-Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Animal Kingdom Lodge, Wilderness Lodge, Beach Club, Yacht Club, BoardWalk, Contemporary, and Polynesian-boast their own concierge club with a roster of offerings from complimentary breakfasts to the new Wildlife Discovery safari amid the free-roaming animal population at the Animal Kingdom Lodge.

The living is especially easy at the Sugar Loaf Club and Royal Palm Club of the Grand Floridian. Fit for a prince and princess of any age, rooms are done up in warm woods and bright fabrics with four-poster beds and a balcony. A Victorian gingerbread fantasy of a resort, Grand Floridian comes wrapped in sun-sparkled swimming pools, a powdered-sugar beach, and a 9,000-square-foot spa.

Not surprisingly, fine dining is a key aspect of the VIP program, which will handle all arrangements for visitors to experience such culinary stars as California Grill, Coral Reef, and Hollywood Brown Derby. In a class by itself is Grand Floridian’s Victoria & Albert’s, which claims Central Florida’s only AAA five-diamond ranking. Elegant and intimate with exquisite service, the restaurant sports 700 wine selections on the menu with 4,200 bottles tucked away in the cellar. While Chef Scott Hunnel changes the menu almost daily, his signature dishes-pan-roasted foie gras and peach tart, for instance-are not to be missed.
