    We are arriving March 9 and have the 4-park day tickets. We have an eight year old daughter and a thirteen year old son, and we are staying at AOA. Our park day visits start on a Tuesday. Is there a recommended order of which park to visit on which day(s)?

    Welcome to planDisney, Samantha! Your spring getaway to Walt Disney World Resort will be here very soon, and you and your family must be budding with excitement! There's so much to do and see, it really is unbe-leaf-able. Let's start planning for your visit, including 4 days at the parks.

    To start, there is no set order in which to experience the theme parks. You may want to plan out your park days by looking at the Hours & Events Calendar so you know what spectaculars and parades will be showing at the parks on the days you intend to visit. So far I see that all the nighttime spectaculars have been scheduled, so you may enjoy Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom Park at 9:30 PM, Fantasmic! at Disney's Hollywood Studios at 8:30 PM, or Luminous The Symphony of Us at EPCOT at 9 PM on the day you are in those parks that week. Looking for parades? Don't stop bee-lieving! These performances will be added to the calendar as your trip gets closer, so be sure to check back for those show times.

    You are well within your advance dining reservation window, so check and see what reservations are available and determine which parks you want to visit based on the reservations you are able to secure. Dining is a huge part of the trip for me, so I'll plan out my park day around getting my favorite meals or snacks! Some of my go-to restaurants at the parks include Liberty Tree Tavern at Magic Kingdom, 50's Prime Time Cafe in Hollywood Studios (with Fantasmic! Dining Package!), Biergarten Restaurant in EPCOT, and Flame Tree Barbecue in Animal Kingdom (no reservation required!)

    Your visit will coincide with the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival which is scheduled to run from March 4-June 1, 2026. Business will be blooming at EPCOT, and it will be time to shamrock and roll with the Garden Rocks Concert Series! You may be able to snag a spot for the Blue October concert on March 13, and I recommend booking a Dining Package reservation to guarantee your seats. At the time of this response, there were quite a few time slots still available at a variety of restaurants for a family of 4, so be sure to check it out! I'll be rooting for you!

    There's no wrong way to do a Disney vacation, Samantha! Make a list of must-do attractions and see what reservations you can secure to plan out your park days. I'm sure you and your family will have a vacation that is both magical and memorable. Should you think of more questions, meet me back here at planDisney! Have the best time!

    Stay magical,
    Scott
