Hi, Desiree. Your trip isn't too far off. I bet your family is excited!
When you ask about passes, I think you're referring to
park tickets. As you prepare to purchase your tickets, you'll want to consider how many days your family will visit the theme parks. You mention that you'll be staying for a week, but you may not necessarily want to visit a theme park for each of those seven days. If, for example, you'll be arriving on a late flight, it might make sense not to head out to one of the parks until the following day. You may also want to take a day in the middle of your trip to relax by the pool or shop at
Disney Springs. All of these variables should factor into your decision on how many park days to include on your tickets. The option to visit more than one park per day is another consideration. If you do want that freedom, the
Park Hopper Option is available. As you decide on your tickets, Desiree, it's important to remember that, currently, a
reservation is required for each day that you enter a park. In fact, there are several
health and safety updates to keep in mind as you anticipate your upcoming trip. Knowing what to expect will definitely help you plan an unforgettable vacation!
As far as meal options, the availability of Disney Dining Plans are temporarily paused, but several of
Disney's most popular restaurants are open and ready to serve up delicious meals. I highly recommend making
dining reservations for the locations that you want to visit during your trip!
Lastly, you ask about must do activities. There are so many to choose from! On that list, I'd definitely include a visit to
Pandora – The World of Avatar as well as
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. In my opinion, no trip is complete without a walk down
Main Street, U.S.A and a picture in front of Cinderella Castle or an afternoon spent strolling around
World Showcase, stopping to enjoy the sights and tastes of each pavilion.
I know we've covered a lot of ground here, Desiree. Hopefully this overview will get you going in the right direction. As you get further into your vacation planning, don't hesitate to stop back by planDisney with questions that allow us to offer personalized tips for your unique family.
