Season's Greetings, Rob! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your vacation planning question today! It looks like you're headed to the Most Magical Place on Earth tomorrow and staying at my favorite moderate Disney resort - Port Orleans Resort! Whether you're celebrating the bayous of
Louisiana at Port Orleans - Riverside or the essence of my hometown at
Port Orleans - French Quarter, you'll be immersed in a combination of southern culture and Disney magic!
Rob, as a guest at a Disney Resort hotel, you are more than welcome to park your car early on your arrival morning and then head to the theme parks using the
complimentary resort transportation! Just be sure to have proof of your resort reservation to show at the guard shack when you arrive, and you'll be set for a magical day! If you're an early bird, you can even head to the park for
Early Theme Park Entry and take advantage of an extra 30 minutes exclusive to Disney Resort hotel guests! If you'd rather drive your vehicle directly to the parks, remember that you're also eligible for complimentary
parking at the theme parks with your resort reservation!
While you're exploring the theme parks, be sure to take some time to enjoy the extra holiday magic of the season! At Magic Kingdom Park, you'll find lots of festive decorations and can take a ride on the
Jingle Cruise; at Animal Kingdom, you'll have a chance to spot the
Merry Menagerie; at EPCOT, you can celebrate the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, and at Hollywood Studios, be sure to check out
Sunset Seasons Greetings after dark!
And speaking of holiday magic, if you have time to catch the water taxi from Port Orleans over to
Disney Springs, you'll find lots of festive fun there as well! I can't wait to do the
Christmas Tree Stroll when I visit next week and grab lunch at
Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar to sample the holiday menu items!
Rob, I hope this helps! I know you're going to have a great big beautiful tomorrow at the Walt Disney World Resort, and if there's anything else we can help you plan, come see us again here at
planDisney!
Happy Holidays,
Alison
