Hi Meredith!
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you for stopping by with such a great question.
The first thing that I recommend you do is download the
My Disney Experience app. This app will help you manage your vacation. You can look in this app to find Theme Park operating hours, make dining reservations, and even Unlock your Resort hotel room door!
Due to the ongoing
pandemic, we have implemented a new system called the
Disney Park Pass Reservation System. All Guests will need to make a reservation before visiting the theme park of your choice. Therefore, step two would be to have you log in to the Disney Park Pass Reservation System and make your reservations for your entire vacation. You will be able to visit one park per day and you must have a valid admission for the same park on the same date as your park pass reservation.
The next thing that I would recommend is to book any
Dining Reservations that you may want. You can view dining menus online. Be sure to check out the
Dining: Know Before You Go section to read about essential updates to dining experiences, as well as look at a list of dining locations currently open and ready to serve you and your family up a tasty treat!
Lastly, I highly recommend that you begin your Online Check-In process. This will help get your vacation started in the most magical way. You can now skip the front-desk entirely with the
direct to room service. Once your room is ready, you will receive a message that includes your room number.
I hope that you and your family have the most magical time!
