Greetings, and welcome back to
planDisney, Ellen!
Thank you for consulting planDisney for your upcoming vacation to
Walt Disney World Resort. I believe you will see many differences from your past visit as you refer to the official
Walt Disney World Resort - Know Before You Go resource which will provide you with accurate and updated information for operational guidelines and other important visitor information.
Ellen, you will enjoy many unique special events and experiences during your visit at
Walt Disney World Resort during the Autumn Events and Festivities, with my favorites being the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival and the iconic
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - a definite must-do! The timing of your visit will place you in the middle of the magical
50th Anniversary Celebration of Walt Disney World Resort. I am so happy that you will be here to experience all the
EARidescent magical experiences!
In my opinion, two changes that are significant at this time are that you require a
Disney Park Pass - Theme Park Reservation for each day of your valid theme park admission and that
Disney Dining Reservations can be made up to 60-days before your arrival (subject to change), so I would deal with these important logistical matters soon if you have not already, Ellen.
I recommend downloading the
My Disney Experience Mobile App to manage your plans, especially during your visit to enjoy many convenient features such as
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering and saving time waiting in lines with the purchase of the
Disney Genie+ Service for any attractions that offer the Lightning Lane entrance. As well, you can access your theme park admission from your digital wallet on your mobile device via
Disney MagicMobile Service, another convenient feature in the My Disney Experience Mobile App!
Ellen, it was my pleasure assisting you today, I hope that you find this information helpful toward your planning. Please stop by planDisney for any other first-hand tips and advice, thank you!
Best Disney Wishes!
Jacqueline
