Hi Victoria! Welcome to planDisney!
Let the countdown begin! You're less than a month away until you arrive for an unforgettable Disney vacation! With everything that goes into the planning process, I'm sure you are ready to put that step behind you and begin creating magical memories.
I'm excited that
Garden Grill Restaurant is one of the dining experiences you have chosen for this trip. Not only is the food delicious, but the ambiance and character interactions are some of the best. With your dining reservation at 8:40 AM, you'll want to get there a few minutes early to check in. Since
Early Theme Park Entry begins at 8:30 AM, you'll need to enter the park a bit before in order to give yourself enough time to get over there. When you arrive at the International Gateway entrance, you'll first pass through security. You should then see a Cast Member directing Guests with Advanced Dining Reservations to enter a designated line. If you do not see anyone doing so, simply ask any Cast Member you see and they will assist. They'll most likely need to verify your dining reservation before you can enter the park. Once you are in, you can head directly to the Land Pavilion to check in for your breakfast reservation.
The
Walt Disney World Swan Hotel offers a great location for your stay. Not only are you a short walk to EPCOT, but you're also a boat ride or walk away from Disney's Hollywood Studios. Being able to access two parks so quickly and efficiently from your hotel will help you maximize each day. You'll spend less time traveling to and from the parks and more time enjoying all the wonderful experiences that await. You're also surrounded by numerous
Deluxe Disney Resort hotels, which will provide some fantastic dining locations to try during your stay.
Victoria, I hope you have an amazing time during your trip!
