Hi Isabelle! Thanks for stopping by planDisney!
Oh boy! You're
Walt Disney World vacation is fast approaching. Before you know it, you'll be arriving for a magical stay filled with unforgettable experiences and lasting memories. While I know there may be some nerves involved, I promise you will have an amazing time. With the proper planning, you can set yourself up for a successful trip.
You'll be happy to know that, while the Walt Disney World Resort is a smoke-free environment,
designated smoking areas are available outside the theme parks. Outside each entrance to the parks, you will find a section designated for smoking. At EPCOT, there is one outside of the front of the park and also one outside of the International Gateway entrance at the back of the park. As you're making your way from one park to another with your Park Hopper tickets, you can utilize these areas as needed. Also, since you can come and go to the parks, you can exit throughout the day to use this area, then return when you are done.
With an
8-Day Park Hopper ticket, you will have plenty of time to fit in everything you want to do during your stay. While I do not have a set amount of time you should visit each park every day, I do suggest incorporating some downtime for rest and relaxation. With how much walking you will do each day, setting aside some time outside of the theme parks will be a much-needed break. My family will often visit a park in the morning, take a mid-day break in the afternoon, then return to a park in the evening for the nighttime festivities. There are some days when we take the morning off and head to a park in the afternoon, while other days we get up early to explore. The options are truly endless.
Your best bet will be to make a
priority list of the must-dos at each theme park throughout your stay. This way, you can plan your days around what is most important to you. If you miss out on it one day, you can make sure you get to it later on.
Isabelle, I hope this information helps you plan for your stay.
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
