    We are already booked in your world resort for July 18-22, 2026 to bring our four grandchildren (ages 13, 12 and 4-yr twins) to see princesses/castles & rides,for 2 days. What theme parks should we go and how much?

    Hello Sheila!

    We're so glad you stopped by planDisney today. I'm thrilled to hear about your upcoming visit, and happy to offer some guidance for this special time with your grandchildren.

    If you haven't already secured tickets, I recommend doing so as soon as possible. You can purchase your admission online here. You'll see some special offers toward the top of the screen and the option to purchase tickets for 1-10 days toward the bottom. Your tween and teen will need Adult tickets for guests aged 10+, while the 4-year-old twins will be eligible for tickets for guests aged 3-9.

    Based on your wish list, I'd recommend prioritizing Magic Kingdom Park and EPCOT with a 2 Day, 1 Park Per Day ticket. Magic Kingdom is home to Cinderella Castle (a perfect backdrop for all those priceless photos) and tons of attractions ranging from high-thrills to nostalgic chills. Your princess-loving grandkids won't want to miss meeting Cinderella and friends at Princess Fairytale Hall, and I bet your older two will enjoy Space Mountain and TRON Lightcycle / Run. Your whole group can also enjoy plenty of attractions without height requirements (my family never skips Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pan's Flight, Haunted Mansion, or "it's a small world"). At the end of the night, be sure to take in the beauty of Happily Ever After, a fireworks spectacular that will surely leave you dazzled and maybe a little misty-eyed.

    You'll find even more princess pals at EPCOT, plus more family-friendly attractions like Frozen Ever After and Remy's Ratatouille Adventure. The thrill-seekers in your group won't want to miss Test Track or Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and everyone might enjoy cooling down with a stroll through Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana. Moana also usually meets nearby, so keep an eye on the My Disney Experience app for scheduled appearances. 

    EPCOT is also home to Kidcot Fun Stops, a series of educational opportunities around World Showcase where kids can explore culture and collect mementos during their travels. You'll find plenty of tasty global cuisine along your journey as well. End your evening with a showing Luminous The Symphony of Us, and you've basically had the best day ever!

    Sheila, I hope this gets you started on creating some truly magical memories. If we can offer any additional recommendations, please come right back and let us know.

    Magic and memories,
    Amy
