Hi there, Jessica - welcome to planDisney!
Thanks for stopping by with your question for our team of panelists. We love to help Guests just like you plan your very own, very magical, Walt Disney World Resort vacations!
Jessica, it sounds like you're just getting started with your planning journey. I have some ideas and suggestions to get you started, and then feel free to
stop by as often as you need with follow-up questions for our team as your planning progresses!
First, if you are truly looking for a complete planning solution including flights and ground transportation, you might want to consider finding a travel professional with experience planning magical Walt Disney World Resort vacations. Some people think that's what we do here at planDisney, so I just want to manage your expectations a bit and recommend the amazing services offered by these individuals. The best part is that in many cases their services are complimentary! That being said, when it comes to transportation, I recommend flying into the Orlando International Airport. For ground transportation, you can rent a car, use available ride-share apps, or book a shuttle or private car service. Once you're at the Walt Disney World Resort, there is complimentary transportation available and other options, like the
Disney Minnie Van Service, available for an additional fee.
Once you decide when you'll be visiting, the first step is to book your
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel so you can enjoy all
the benefits of staying in the magic. As part of that process, you'll also decide on your Theme Park Tickets, some of which may require you to make reservations to visit the Theme Parks on certain dates.
When your arrival is 60 days away, you'll be able to use the My Disney Experience Mobile App or the Walt Disney World Resort website to make Advance Dining Reservations for your trip. I recommend making one reservation per day and enjoying all the other food options during the rest of the day. One of my favorites is Breakfast à la Art with Mickey & Friends at
Topolino's Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera, located at Disney's Riviera Resort.
I hope this information is helpful as you continue
your planning journey. You can stop by any time with additional questions! Also, as you make your magical plans, be sure to include the newest thrill at Magic Kingdom Park –
TRON Lightcycle / Run presented by Enterprise!See ya real soon!
