Hi Gavin, thank you for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
You can pick your tickets up the day before at any Walt Disney World Resort hotel and combine that trip with a delicious dinner. How does that sound?
Some of my favorite restaurants at the Walt Disney World Resort are located at hotels and you don't have to pay for parking when you visit them for a meal.
'Ohana, at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, offers a great dinner atmosphere for a family-style dinner.
Jiko - The Cooking Place at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is my favorite restaurant and has the largest African wine cellar outside of Africa. The Charcuterie and Cheese Board is always full of delicious surprises and the Mrouzia-style Moroccan Lamb Tagine just melts in your mouth. I'm dreaming about it right now!
If you would like to start your vacation with a steak, the
Yachtsman Steakhouse at Disney's Yacht Club Resort is your destination. If you would rather enjoy the company of a few magical characters, the
Storybook Dining at Artist Point with Snow White is your place - the food is as enchanted as the location,
Disney's Wilderness Lodge.
To pick up your tickets at the hotel you choose to visit, just present your confirmation number along with valid photo IDs for your family.
Please come back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel if you want any more help!
May the magic be with you!
Julie
