Hello John,
Thanks for coming to see us here at planDisney, and thanks for your question.
It's so fun to hear you'll be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort real soon, and it's especially fun to hear you'll be visiting "The Most Magical Place on Earth" during the most festive time of the year. The
holidays are always a wonderful time to visit when the spirit of the season is in the air.
While the types of planning DVDs that were once available are no longer mailed out, I'm happy to share that there's still lots of easily available video content as well as planning tools that can help you get ready for your trip.
I highly recommend the
planDisney Video Library as a great place to start. You can hear from planDisney panelists as they offer tips for the theme parks, how-to guides, and must-do guides that can help you plan your theme park days. The planDisney panelists are always happy to share their first-hand experiences as a way to help you create memorable moments for your vacation.
I also recommend the "
Tickets & Visit Guide" as a way to explore the theme parks and discover what's especially exciting for everyone in your travel party, whether they're first-time Guests, thrill seekers, younger Mouseketeers, or food lovers.
One of my favorite go-to tools to help plan a Walt Disney World Resort trip is the
My Disney Experience mobile app. Be sure to check out the interactive maps that can guide you step-by-step all around the Walt Disney World Resort. The My Disney Experience mobile app will also offer suggestions for some fun video content available on Disney+ that can help you get ready for your trip. Specials and series such as "Behind the Attraction," "Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Adventurer Awaits," and more can offer exciting and entertaining views into the magic you'll experience in the theme parks.
The My Disney Experience mobile app is also your tool for using the
Disney Genie service and Disney Genie+ service that can help you plan your theme park days.
And, of course, be sure to follow
@planDisneyPanel on Instagram for lots of tips and insights from the planDisney panelists.
John, I hope these tips give you some fun ideas to help you get ready to enjoy all the magic that awaits you at the Walt Disney World Resort!
Jerry
