Hi Erika,
Welcome to planDisney!
Your arrival date brings such happiness! Your visit will happen during
The Holidays at Walt Disney World Resort and it is absolutely my favorite time of year to visit. You will be happy to know that only children 3-years old and over need
theme park tickets. So enjoy this free window while it lasts!
Since you will be visiting during such a busy time of year, do make sure that you are planned well in advance. If you plan to stay at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel and purchase theme park tickets, I suggest that you book a
vacation package as soon as possible. Start exploring the
attractions,
character experiences, and
dining locations at each theme park. Decide where you might want to dine and then make a list. Once your
advanced dining reservation window opens, you should be ready to make those reservations!
As much as we love the parks and resorts, we also enjoy special experiences. Take a few moments to check out the
Enchanting Extras Collection. There may be one that would be great for your family. We did a
Capture Your Moment: Magic Kingdom Park photo session and had an amazing time. Even though the time was short, it was well-used and we got some memorable photos. If this is your first trip with your little one, these photos would be a great keepsake.
Erika, you are planning well! Please do stop back by if you have additional questions. One of the many reasons I love the Walt Disney World® Resort is because the imagination and creativity are simply stunning. When you arrive, remember to take time to truly enjoy each moment. In the words of Princess Tiana,
never ever lose sight of what's really important!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
