Hi Neil! Welcome to planDisney.
How excited is everyone to arrive at
Walt Disney World Resort in three short days? Get ready to be immersed in
The World's Most Magical Celebration. Have fun looking for the golden
Disney Fab 50 Character Collection statues. Last week, I found that naughty Stitch on the famous Purple Wall by
Tomorrowland Terrace at
Magic Kingdom Park.
It is pretty ironic you are asking this question. This past Wednesday, my husband asked me the exact same thing as we were working in the Orlando area with no plans for the night. While I like the way you guys think, that is not how park-hopping works at the current time. In order to park hop after 2:00 PM, you must first visit a theme park you have secured a
Disney Park Pass Reservation. Since the
availability calendar is currently showing no park reservations, I will offer a few alternatives.
If you happen to be
Disney Resorts Collection Guest, you have access to all the amenities and recreational activities at your resort on the day of check-in. This includes the use of the pool!
No matter where you are staying, I would personally head to
Disney Springs to enjoy free entertainment, award-winning dining, and unique shopping. You can walk up to
The Polite Pig for amazing
barbeque, sides, and bourbon cocktails or grab a barstool at
Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' for
moonshine cocktails and Florida fare dining.
For an extra special evening, treat yourself to a performance of
Drawn to Life Presented by Cirque du Soleil® & Disney. I have now seen this show twice and would gladly go back! Are you a fan of movies? The
AMC® Disney Springs 24 Dine-In Theatres is another fun option. Finally,
Splitsville Luxury Lanes™ offers upscale bowling and dining experience. All of these are just a few things to keep you busy on your first day, I encourage you to explore all the options at
disneyworld.com.
Keeping it Magical,
Cindy
