Welcome to planDisney Clare! Thank you for reaching out with your question. How exciting that you’re planning a 9 day adventure to
Walt Disney World Resort! With two teenagers along for the fun, you’re sure to create unforgettable memories. I’d be happy to help you craft the perfect itinerary so you can focus on the magic and excitement of your upcoming trip!
I suggest starting your trip by settling into your resort and getting familiar with the amenities. Kicking things off with a visit to
Disney Springs is a great way to ease into the magic. You can enjoy dinner, shop for souvenirs, and check out the Coca-Cola Rooftop Bar for fantastic views.
Begin your park days at
Magic Kingdom. This iconic park is the perfect place to set the tone for your Disney vacation. Be sure to check out fun attractions like Space Mountain, Tron and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. As the evening approaches, find a great spot for the
Happily Ever After fireworks. It's my favorite way to end the day.
At
EPCOT, explore the World Showcase and ride attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy and Remy's Ratatouille Adventure. Based on your arrival date, your visit coincides with the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. Be sure to take advantage of the beautiful displays and delicious food booths.
If your teenagers are anything like mine and love action and adventure, then
Hollywood Studios is a must. Start your day at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and experience one of my favorite rides, Rise of the Resistance. They are also sure to love other exciting attractions like Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror. Wrap up your day with the Fantasmic! nighttime spectacular.
Animal Kingdom offers a more relaxed pace but still has plenty of adventure. Start your day in Pandora and ride Avatar Flight of Passage. Enjoy other exciting attractions like Expedition Everest and catch Festival of the Lion King show. As evening falls, explore Pandora’s bioluminescent glow, it’s truly mesmerizing.
After several fun filled days, take a break to relax and recharge. Spend a day at your resort, lounging by the pool, or exploring recreational activities. This is also a great day to enjoy a leisurely brunch or dinner at a Disney Resort restaurant.
With
Lightning Lane Passes, you can maximize your time by park hopping. Spend the morning at Hollywood Studios revisiting favorite attractions or catching any missed experiences, then hop to EPCOT for more World Showcase exploration and a delicious dinner. Returning to Magic Kingdom for another day allows you to revisit favorite rides, catch more character interactions, and enjoy the fireworks again, it never gets old!
On your last day, choose your favorite park for one final visit before saying goodbye to the magic. This gives you a chance to relive the highlights or catch anything you might have missed.
I hope this helps you plan an unforgettable getaway at Walt Disney World Resort! Have an amazing trip, and if you need more tips along the way, we’re always here to help! Have a magical day, and see ya real soon!
