This is such a great question, Jaime! I’m also glad to see that you are planning so far ahead! It’s never too soon to begin dreaming about your Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
Jaime, the most honest answer I can give is to make this visit about your “Disney interests.” If you want the nostalgia of Disney World, then you really need to visit
Magic Kingdom! From the moment you arrive and take your first look at the iconic Cinderella Castle, you will realize that you truly are in a magical place. Here you will experience the classic Disney attractions such as Jungle Cruise, Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pan’s Flight, Haunted Mansion, and “it’s a small world.” You’ll also find can’t-miss newer attractions such as Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and TRON Lightcycle / Run!
If you love Toy Story, Star Wars, and thrills, then
Hollywood Studios is for you! This park is home to Toy Story Land, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and thrill rides such as the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets! Hollywood Studios also hosts my favorite nighttime show in Disney World – Fantasmic! And, interestingly, this is the only theme park in Disney World with a ride themed to Mickey Mouse! It is Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, and I love it!
Jaime, I also encourage you to explore the amazing dining options at
EPCOT! My family’s favorite is Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria, but it’s hard to move through any country in EPCOT without stopping for a drink or bite to eat! EPCOT is also home to one of the most thrilling rides at Disney World – Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind!
Finally, when it comes to selecting your Disney “home,” you’ll have over 25 resort hotels from which to choose! Take a look at all the options in the
Disney Resorts Collection! Disney has hotels themed to many interests and budget categories such as value, moderate, and deluxe! Jaime, if you have a category in mind, feel free to send another question to planDisney! We’d be happy to make some recommendations!
Dreams do come true!
