    Do you have to have park reservations if you have room reservations /tickets /dining plan?

    Howdy Rebecca!

    Welcome to planDisney. Thanks for moseying on by today with your question. I appreciate you reaching out to me regarding your upcoming vacation to The Most Magical Place on Earth. I know that having your Huey, Dewy, and Louie’s in a row is really important before arrival, so let’s see what we can do to find you an answer to your question.

    It looks like you have Walt Disney World Resort reservations, tickets, and a dining plan, and you would like to know whether you also need park reservations. I checked the Walt Disney World website for Theme Park Reservations and confirmed that theme park reservations are not required for date-based tickets. One thing to keep in mind: if you do not have a park hopper pass, you can visit only one park per day, so you will need to plan accordingly. 

    I see that you also have the Disney Dining Plan. This is a great option for many families, as it provides significant flexibility. A quick reminder that you can book your table servicing dining reservations 60 days prior to arrival at approximately 6 AM for up to 10 days of your stay. I also advise my friends to book their top picks first and work their way back. You don’t have to start booking from the first day you arrive; you can skip around to any day of your stay and book. For example, we might be visiting EPCOT on our 3rd day and want to dine at Space 220, so I’ll book that first since it’s super popular. You will also be able to keep track of your meal credits via the My Disney Experience app, which is super convenient. 

    Rebecca, I hope this helps and that you have an absolutely magical time during your vacation to Walt Disney World. Please stop back by if you have any further questions, and a fellow panelist or I will be happy to assist. 

    See ya real soon,
    Robert
