Hiya, Kate! Welcome to planDisney! I love that you're eager to kick off your Walt Disney World vacation as soon as possible. Planning ahead to ensure your visit goes off without a hitch is always a great idea.
If you're staying at a
Disney Resort Hotel, then you will be able to receive complimentary standard
parking at the theme parks throughout the duration of your stay, including the day you check in and the day you check out. This means you'll be able to start your morning off bright and early at
Magic Kingdom! Nothing compares to beginning your vacation at The Most Magical Place on Earth than with that unforgettable first glimpse of Cinderella Castle.
Don't forget to purchase your
Lightning Lane Multi Pass and/or Lightning Lane Single Pass as early as 7 days before your arrival. Did you know you'll also receive digital downloads of select attraction photos and videos with multi pass? My kids love trying to make silly faces for those photos, which is always fun for the memory book!
Since you're starting your day so early, I suggest booking an
advanced dining reservation around midday. This will give you a chance to relax and recharge. My family always enjoys the pun-tastic,
Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen. The "Tastes like Chicken Because it is," is a favorite with my crew.
Thank you for stopping by with your question, Kate. And please know, you've got a friend in me at planDisney!
Magical Wishes,
Kami
