Welcome to planDisney, David.
There are loads of brilliant things happening right now at Walt Disney World Resort.
The World's Most Magical Celebration is well and truly underway and there's so much to experience and enjoy. One of my favorite things is the captivating
Beacons of Magic on display in each theme park. I love them all, but Spaceship Earth in EPCOT is my favorite. There are also new attractions, special shows, tasty treats, delicious drinks, EARidescent decorations, unique souvenirs, and more! You're going to have a fantastic time.
As you mentioned, it's essential to make
Theme Park reservations for your visit. Unfortunately, I can't tell you for sure when capacity limits will be reached. The
Theme Park Reservation Availability calendar can give you a good idea of when parks start filling up. Right now, it's looking like certain parks, particularly
Magic Kingdom Park and
Disney's Hollywood Studios, can start reaching their capacity limits five weeks out. July is a busy month at Walt Disney World. Therefore, if I were you, David, I'd make my reservations now. Better safe than sorry! You can always cancel a reservation and make a new one for a different park if you decide to change your plans. But you don't want to be in a situation where, for example, Magic Kingdom Park is booked up on the days you'd like to visit.
Make sure you take your grandchildren on
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at
EPCOT! This new and unique indoor coaster will be one of the highlights of their trip. It'll also introduce them to some groovy 70s and 80s music!
Have a magical time, David.
Mike
