Hi Doug! Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney!
I'm so excited to hEAR about your upcoming trip to
The Most Magical Place on Earth! You're really in for some excitement when bringing such a great group of kids. While it's always enchanting to bring teeny tiny ones and watch their eyes light up at the sight of Mickey Mouse, there's just something about Walt Disney World Resort that brings out the kid in each and every one of us, so I'm sure your tweens and teens are going to have an amazing time.
You've come to the right place when looking for advice about your stay, as we here at planDisney have spent countless hours making our way through the Parks, the Resorts, and the shopping, dining and entertainment district of
Disney Springs.
My first thought when searching out the perfect ways to plan your days is to first make sure you and your party have booked your
Theme Park Reservations. Right now, all Guests entering the Walt Disney World Resort Theme Parks are required to have both a valid Theme Park Ticket as well as a Theme Park Reservation to enter their first Park of the day. If you've already booked these, you're good to go! If not, you'll want to check out the
Theme Park Reservation Availability Calendar and then book as soon as possible!
After you're set on the technical front, I would suggest visiting the
planDisney website and checking out some of the incredible videos and "
Panel Extras" that are available to help you and your party plan some practically perfect Disney days. You'll find insider tips from real planDisney panelists on
how to craft a day for the thrill-seekers in your life or for those that prefer the more
classic Disney attractions. You can even click the "Videos" tab to learn about topics like "Must-Dos at Disney's Hollywood Studios" or "Planning Tips for EPCOT". Recently, planDisney has also started a podcast, so make sure to check out each episode for all the latest and greatest information happening around Walt Disney World Resort!
If you have more specific questions within the next week please stop by planDisney again before your vacation!
