Hi Christine,
I, too, love doing as much as possible beforehand to build excitement for our trip and become familiar with what we'll be doing while we're on our vacation! While Disney no longer sends out DVDs, you are still able to watch some wonderful planning videos
online! Feel free to pop some popcorn (and begin dreaming about the delicious Disney popcorn - the refillable popcorn bucket is one of my family's favorite snacks and an excellent value) and gather your family to have a fun afternoon or evening watching all the amazing attractions and experiences you'll enjoy together!
I'd also encourage you to familiarize yourself with the theme parks by downloading, viewing, and even printing the same maps you'll receive when you arrive, which you may find for
Magic Kingdom Park,
Epcot,
Disney's Hollywood Studios, and
Disney's Animal Kingdom by clicking "Guide Map" on the left just underneath the header. It's also a lot of fun to play around with the
interactive online map!
Once your
advanced dining reservations are set and your
FastPass+ selections made, all that's left to do is countdown the days until your visit to the most magical place on earth! I hope you have fun planning and enjoy a truly amazing vacation, Christine!
Missy
