Hi Oliver! Wow! That is an amazing question! Thanks for sending it!
“Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy.” These are the words that greet you as you enter Magic Kingdom Park! Truer words have never been spoken! For me, The Walt Disney World Resort is always a much-needed escape from reality! It truly is my “happy place.”
The Walt Disney World Resort in Florida is anchored by four theme parks –
Magic Kingdom Park,
EPCOT,
Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park! In addition, there are two water parks – Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park. You can also “shop ‘til you drop” at Disney Springs, a huge shopping venue. Disney Springs is also home to a stunning Cirque du Soleil show entitled “Drawn to Life.”
In addition to the theme parks, part of the magic of a vacation to the Most Magical Place on Earth is staying in a
Disney Resort Hotel! There are nearly thirty from which to choose! You can find resorts in the value, moderate, and deluxe range! I love staying in Disney Resort Hotel as I truly feel immersed in the magic! And, there are benefits to staying in a Disney Resort Hotel! Guests of Disney Resort Hotels have early access to theme park entry every day! Additionally, Guests of deluxe resort hotels get to stay in select theme parks after regular closing time on select nights! Guests of all Disney Resort Hotels also get to enjoy complimentary transportation throughout the entire Walt Disney World Resort!
Oliver, in addition to planning which parks I want to visit and which resort hotel to call “home” I also enjoy planning Disney Dining! The theme parks and resort hotels have quick service, table service, as well as character dining available!
You’ve got a lot of wishing, I mean planning, to do! Let’s get started! Oliver, you can send me and my planDisney friends any questions regarding your visit. You can ask us to recommend a particular resort hotel based upon budget or which parks might be best to visit based upon a particular interest! You can even ask us to recommend favorite Disney Dining locations! Send your questions! We’re ready! Also, check out the video that I included with this answer! My planDisney pal, Elaine and I, offer some great advice for first time visitors!
Happy Planning!
