Hi Kathryn,
Thanks so much for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. Planning a
Walt Disney World Resort vacation definitely takes some time, so you are smart to be thinking about these things well in advance of your trip. With so many things to see and do, having a good plan will make your stay so much more magical. So I am more than happy to help!
Disney After Hours is a great way to enjoy one of three Disney Parks with little-to-no-wait times when the park is open to a limited number of Guests. This special ticketed event is currently open through April of this year and as of now, no other dates have been announced just yet. It looks like we'll have to stay tuned to find out if this event will continue, and the
Disney Parks Blog is a great way to keep up with the latest news for Walt Disney World Resort. As for the all new
Mermaid School being offered at select Disney Resort Hotels, you'll be happy to know that this should not make the pools too busy since it will be held on certain days of the week and only at 8:00 in the morning.
I hope this helps, Kathryn and please let us know if you think of anything else. We're here to help when you need us. Have a magical day!
