Laura, with a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo, we here at planDisney offer our warmest welcome to YOU!
As a fellow Pennsylvanian, I’m thrilled to chat about your upcoming vacation to the
Most Magical Place on Earth and can’t imagine a better reason to celebrate than the joys of adoption. Laura, while you will be celebrating an adoption, the Walt Disney World Resort will be celebrating its golden birthday as it turns 50 on October 1, 2021! While we don't yet have any details on the festivities, I'm sure it will be every bit as charming as Cinderella's carriage and as lavish as the ball where she lost her slipper.
Laura, since it’s been a few years since your last visit, let’s begin by discussing some basics.
First, if your vacation fund allows, I always recommend staying at a
Disney Resort Hotel. With options that range from
value accommodations to
deluxe, you’ll find something for all budgets and tastes. Staying on property always makes my family feel like we are in the middle of the Magic and takes away stresses like
transportation to and from the parks. As you’re exploring the different options
HERE, make sure to read the
Best Tips for Selecting a Resort!
Second, let’s talk about those theme park tickets. The Walt Disney World Resort of today looks a bit different than it did in 1995 and to experience all aspects of the Magic, I recommend visiting all four theme parks. When considering how many park days best suit your vacation goals, take a look at the attractions offered at
Magic Kingdom Park,
Disney’s Hollywood Studios,
EPCOT and
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Typically my family will spend one day at each park if we are visiting for five nights. If we have the luxury of a longer stay we will often add on a second day at Magic Kingdom Park or enjoy a “rest” day in the middle of the week to relax and recharge! Laura, take a look at the
ticket options HERE. These can be purchased separately or (
if you are booking a Disney Resort Hotel) bundled with your resort stay into a package.
Lastly, no vacation for me is complete without
delectable dining options. From
Quick-Service restaurants to
Signature meals, I'm here to assure you that you'll find choices aplenty!
Laura, I hope this
sparks your Imagination and as you continue to plan please come back to planDisney with more questions. We are all EARS!
