Hi Kyle!
So happy to have you join us at the club that’s made for you and me...planDisney! Ha, now I have the Mickey Mouse Club theme song in my head! What better song to think of when imagining a Walt Disney World vacation, am I right?
Planning DVDs detailing all aspects of a Walt Disney World vacation were so fun to get in the mail, weren’t they? But just like my kids like to tease me about checking out planning books from the library, it does raise an important point: these books and DVDs don’t stay current for very long. And this past year has proven how important it is to stay in the know about all elements of planning a Walt Disney World vacation. Books and DVDs probably wouldn’t have known about the new
Disney Park Pass system and how theme park reservations are now required along with valid admission for each theme park you plan to visit.
If I can help in one regard, it’s by giving you some links that will hopefully supplement what would have been in the form of a DVD for you. I like to start with this
Ready for Tomorrow to Begin homepage; it will streamline vacation planning and is a great launching pad. If videos are what you truly want, then our
planDisney Video Library is chock full of videos about the Disney Resorts Collection, theme parks, attractions and entertainment from our “we’ve been there” perspective.
Check out this
Tickets & Visit Guide before you plan your theme park days at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Of course, you’ll need to consult the
Availability Calendar to see what parks are open for your travel dates. Don’t forget those
Advance Dining Reservations for any dining experiences you’ve been craving. Finally, no Guest is truly ready without first downloading the
My Disney Experience app: it will be the key to unlocking all the essential tools for your trip, from
mobile ordering, figuring out attraction wait times, viewing menus, and accessing park maps.
I realize that was a lot of information at one time, but I hope you will find it does what a planning DVD would have done for you: getting you all prepped for a fantastic Walt Disney World vacation and excited about it to boot! We’d love it if you would come back by with more planning questions as you approach your trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth!
