Hi Spencer! Welcome to planDisney!
You're heading down to
The Most Magical Place on Earth at such a wonderful time of year! Not only will you be visiting during the
50th-anniversary celebration of Walt Disney World Resort but you'll also still be able to catch the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival before it wraps up on November 19th!
Even though you didn't quite ask for it I have to share my opinion about a Park Hopper Option Theme Park Ticket! I just have to say that these tickets are an absolute MUST DO for my family when we're visiting the Resort. We love to wake up early and "rope drop" at one Park, head back to our Resort midday for a refreshing swim and a reenergizing nap and then get back out for dinner and fireworks at a different Park in the evening! To me, being able to visit more than one of the four Disney World Theme Parks in the same day just adds to the magic. You can watch the sun rise on
Cinderella Castle and blow a kiss to
Spaceship Earth after watching
Harmonious at EPCOT all in the same day!
When it comes to
Theme Park Tickets and adding on the
Park Hopper Option you'll find that even if you only want to use the Park Hopper Option for one day of your stay this add-on option will be applied to the entire length of your Ticket and is not available to be purchased on a daily basis. Since you already know how I feel about this option I say GO FOR IT and plan to "hop" as much as you like. Park hopping also gives you the flexibility to catch a hard-to-find in-Park dinner reservation or to return to a favorite Park to ride an incredible attraction just one more time before you head back home.
If you're staying at
Disney's Port Orleans - French Quarter for your trip you're in luck! This is one of my very favorite
Disney Resorts Collection hotels because of its small size, the relaxing boat ride down the Sassagoula to
Disney Springs and the Mardi Gras theming throughout the property. In your Guest room you will find a mini-refrigerator as well as a Cuisinart coffee maker. You'll be able to put a little pep in your step before you head out in the morning and store all the treats you find throughout the Parks in your mini-fridge at night.
I hope you have a wonderful time visiting Walt Disney World Resort!
