Hi Elizabeth! Welcome to planDisney! It's great to have you stop by with your question!
Wow! And I thought I was a planner! This is going to be an epic trip when the time comes to take it. Creating a budget and starting to plan this far in advance is only going to pay off when you finally arrive at the Most Magical Place on Earth!
Disney Gift Cards are the perfect way to start saving for your stay. Since you can only use them specifically for Disney-related purchases, it's a great way to dedicate funds to your vacation!
I have great news for you! Disney Gift Cards do not expire! I repeat, Disney Gift Cards do not expire! Any purchases you make today will still be redeemable in 2028 and beyond! You'll be able to use these cards to purchase park tickets, pay for meals at select dining locations, and many merchandise locations across the Walt Disney World property. The best part is these purchases can be made carefree since the money has already been allocated for this trip.
With so many new experiences coming to the
Walt Disney World Resort in the next couple of years, I can only imagine what will be in store six to seven years from now. TRON Lightcycle Power Run is set to open at the Magic Kingdom Park in the near future and Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind is opening on Memorial Day Weekend of this year. I anticipate some new dining locations either being built or older versions being reimaged. My daughter and I like to play a game where we envision new rides and attractions that may be added to the parks. We even break down exactly how we believe the ride to be imagined. This may be a fun exercise to do with your family over the coming years.
Elizabeth, I hope you have the most magical visit when your getaway arrives!
Happy planning!
Greg
