Hello Susan!
Welcome to planDisney! I consider our
Walt Disney World vacations an investment in my family. We get to spend time together away from the stress of our everyday lives, laugh and have fun together, and make memories. We are often accompanied by my parents and I have wonderful memories of watching my mom holding hands with my son through the parks, sitting with a baby on her lap on “it’s a small world,” or my dad playing with my daughter in the pool.
Susan, streaming video is a convenient and easy method for viewing media, and has become the main method of sharing videos. While I too loved watching the free vacation planning DVDs, streaming allows access to media quickly and easily to Guests around the world, no DVD player required. Sadly, Disney no longer produces the vacation planning DVDs to be sent in the mail.
Never fear, Susan! There are so many ways to share the joy and excitement of planning a Walt Disney World Vacation with your grandkids. I recommend checking out the Disney Parks Channel on YouTube where you’ll find videos on many topics at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney Cruise Line. You’ll even find attraction videos and tips from us here at planDisney! If your grandkids are anything like my kiddos, they are likely YouTube experts.
You can also check out online maps to begin your planning, and share them with your grandkids as you plan your park days. Tackle the mountains of the
Magic Kingdom, explore technology and world cultures at
Epcot, travel to a galaxy far, far away at
Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and learn about conservation at
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park! And don’t forget to use us here at planDisney. We can recommend a resort near your favorite park, the best attractions for teens, or where to dine as a large party. We also have
planDisney Panel Extras with tips, tricks and recommendations, and a
video library. I hope you’ll return with more questions as you begin your planning, Susan, we love talking Disney and we are here to help!
