Hi Jennifer,
You sound like my kind of Disney planner! My family is the same way...we love staying in the parks as late as possible, soaking up every ounce of magic and fun, so we love to plan our vacations around the park hours, too!
My advice? I'd encourage you to go ahead and make your
Disney Park Pass reservations now. While
park hours are not yet released, they don't seem to vary as much from day to day as they used to in years past. Plus, just knowing that your place in the parks is secure will set your mind at ease. I'd hate for you to wait, then find that a day has become unavailable. The great news is that once park hours are released, you'll be free to cancel any reservations you don't want and make new ones. As long as there is
availability, there's certainly flexibility to build the perfect itinerary for you and your family!
You'll be visiting during one of my favorite EPCOT festivals, the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. Between the incredible topiaries, the fun Garden Rocks Concert Series, all of the fantastic food, the mesmerizing butterfly pavilion, and more, you're going to LOVE it!
Thanks so much for visiting us at planDisney, Jennifer, and don't hesitate to come back and see us again with any other questions you may have. I'm sending pixie dust that all your plans come together perfectly and you have a truly magical vacation this
spring!
Missy
