Hi Courtney,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! It sounds as if we have something to celebrate - a trip to the Walt Disney World Resort!
My favorite moderate resort is
Disney's Port Orleans - Riverside followed by
Disney's Port Orleans - French Quarter. Both of these resorts are beautifully landscaped with lovely pool areas and comfortably appointed rooms. After a long day at the parks, these resorts provide a perfectly relaxing atmosphere. My husband and I first stayed at Disney's Port Orleans - French Quarter on our honeymoon and recently, I stayed at Disney's Port Orleans - Riverside. The walk between both resorts is relatively easy and quick so feel free to explore.
Generally, February is a great month to visit. I will say that, unless you plan to run, I might avoid the
Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend towards the end of the month. Do go ahead and check the
Special Offers for dates in February to see when you might get the best deal on a vacation package. And, if you have an interest in the arts, try visiting during the
Epcot International Festival of the Arts.
Courtney, I will also say to prepare for unanticipated weather delays during the winter months. So, if making plans for your first day, I would keep the plans light. Perhaps only schedule a dinner for later in the evening!
Magic, memories and Minnie Mouse hugs,
Donyell
