Hi Geoff, welcome to planDisney!
The magic is calling you to Walt Disney World Resort this summer. Your park days will be filled with exciting thrills like the new
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction at EPCOT. Your nights will be full of awe and wonder as you experience
Disney Enchantment at Magic Kingdom Park and
Harmonious at EPCOT. Your belly will be full of delicious eats, like the Griddled Cheese with pistachios and honey that caught my eye on the
Foodie Guide to the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival.
Valid admission, a theme park reservation for each park day, and a
method of entry (MagicBand, admission card, or Disney MagicMobile pass) are currently required for theme park entry. When purchasing theme park tickets, you select the first day of your ticket. Three-day tickets must be used within a five-day window, though not necessarily on consecutive days.
If you're interested in having a resort day, Geoff, you can build one into your itinerary by making
theme park reservations using the Disney Park Pass system for non-consecutive days. For example, you can make a theme park reservation at Magic Kingdom Park for Monday, EPCOT for Tuesday, and Disney's Hollywood Studios for Thursday, making Wednesday your resort day. Be sure to consult the
theme park reservation availability calendar when planning out your schedule.
I love the idea of planning a resort day for your vacation. My family typically plans a resort day in the middle of our vacation. My husband loves to play golf while the kids and I splash around at the pool. Some of my family's other favorite non-park day activities include shopping and dining at Disney Springs, a family air hockey tournament at our resort's arcade, and putt-putt golf at
Fantasia Gardens and Fairways Miniature Golf. We also get a lot of use out of our refillable mugs, which are available for purchase at Disney Resorts Collection hotels. Purchase early in your trip to maximize the refills.
I hope your trip is full of magic moments, Geoff. If planDisney can be of further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out. We're hEAR to help!
Choose magic,
Jennifer
