Hi Suzanne! A warm welcome to planDisney from another resident of the Bay State!
You are getting so close to hitting the road or taking to the skies and arriving at
The Most Magical Place on Earth! You're arriving just in time for the opening of the
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, a celebration of culinary, visual, and performing arts that will leave your belly satisfied and your eyes dazzled! Make sure to check out the
DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series at the America Gardens Theatre to see some of your favorite Broadway performers live in concert.
It sounds like you've got everything in order to have a magical and memorable stay at Walt Disney World, Suzanne! You're doing everything right by purchasing a
Theme Park Ticket and then making a
Theme Park Reservation for each day of your stay. Since you have the
Park Hopper Option you will be able to visit multiple Parks per day any time after 2 p.m. As of right now Guests of the Resort only need to make Theme Park Reservations for the
first Park they plan to enter each day. You do not need to worry about making reservations for any Parks you plan to "hop" to.
My family and I have always been a "Park Hopping" family. We love to wake up in the morning and run to Cinderella Castle for rope drop and spend the morning riding our favorite classic attractions like "it's a small world" and Peter Pan's Flight. After catching the
Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade we usually head back to our
Disney Resorts Collection hotel for a swim (and sometimes a nap!) before heading back out in the evening for dinner and a nighttime spectacular. It's a great way to slow down midday and recharge for a totally new Park experience in the evening.
Have a wonderful stay, Suzanne!
