Hey there, Kelly!
You've asked an excellent question about your upcoming stay during the Merriest Time of Year at the Walt Disney World Resort. The parks and resorts will be decked out with their beautiful festive decor, and you'll be able to soak in lots of Disney magic while you visit.
Speaking of Disney magic, your vacation will be packed with pixie dust because your party will be able to maximize your park time with a double dose of
Extra Magic Hours on your check-in and check-out dates. On your check-in date, you will need to make sure you are checked-in before you head to the parks, so be sure to complete your Online Check-in before your arrival (or stop by your Resort hotel). Once that is complete, you'll be recognized as a resort Guest. On the day you check-out, you can enjoy the parks as a Resort Guest until closing.
Kelly, be sure to research all the special things there is to do during the
holidays at the Walt Disney World Resort. The
Disney Parks Blog is the perfect place to find out about all the festive events and offerings that will be available this season. From your question, I'm sure you are going to
experience as much as you can during your 48 hours in The Most Magical Place on Earth. If you need any other help with your plans, we hope you'll come back to see us hEAR!
Have a magical day!
Nancy
