Hiya Kristen!
Welcome to planDisney, and thank you for sending us this magical question! Wow, Kristen, what a magical vacation this will be. I still have the most magical memories from my trips with my family, and I know that you and yours will make memorable memories that will last a lifetime.
I am glad you decided to stay at a
Disney Resort hotel. Indeed, there is truly nothing more magical than starting your day with some Mickey waffles before heading to the theme parks. When booking reservations for larger parties, finding availability for your party size can be challenging. However, Disney Cast Members sometimes have access to more options than we Guests do, so I would highly recommend that you
call the Reservation Center for some help. Indeed, they can help you find the best accommodation for your party and even help you book your reservation. Similarly, if you want to make
dining reservations, you can either book a reservation for your party together or make separate reservations at similar times. In this case, however, I would highly recommend that you make your reservations
as soon as they become available to ensure the best availability.
Now, Kristen, did you know that you will be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort during an especially magical time? Like me, Disney Parks love to start celebrating the holidays early, and
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is one of the many activities offered for this purpose. These special ticketed events include festive fireworks, a parade, a castle show and themed overlays on your favourite attractions that are not available during regular park hours. Plus, since the tickets for these events are sold in limited quantities, most attractions typically have lower wait times so your whole party can enjoy your favourite rides together. If you would like to enjoy this event with your family, be sure to
book your tickets soon, as certain events may sell out!
I hope this was helpful, Kristen, and that you and your Ohana will have the best day ever on your next Disney vacation. If you have any other questions in the time leading up to your visit, please don't hesitate to reach out. As Minnie said, there is no kind of magic like the one we make when we're all together!
Have a happy, merry, holly, jolly day!
