Hi Pamela! Welcome to planDisney!
It sure sounds like you have a practically perfect itinerary planned out for your next vacation to The Most Magical Place on Earth! Even though it's HOT, I love visiting
Walt Disney World Resort during the summer. The Florida sunshine is just what I need when I'm on vacation, and spending my time swimming in the Resort's pool or Water Parks is one of my family's favorite ways to spend our time! It sounds like you have the same idea.
To purchase your tickets, you can simply head to the Walt Disney World Resort website, scroll over the
"Parks and Tickets" tab and then click on Theme Park Tickets. From here you'll be able to choose how many days you want to enjoy the magic of the Parks and then add on the Park Hopper Plus Option.
Depending on how many days you want to spend in the four Theme Parks, with a Park Hopper Option ticket you'll probably have time to visit them all! Choosing the
Park Hopper Plus Option allows you and your party to visit all four Parks as well as Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, Golf or Miniature Golf courses! Since you're able to "hop" from one Park to another, you'll be able to start your day at Magic Kingdom, take a break to try out
Disney's Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Course, and finish off your magical day with EPCOT's new fireworks show,
Harmonious.
I think your idea of beginning your summer morning at
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park is a splashtastic one! You and your party will be able to ride together on
Miss Adventure Falls, blast through the splashes of the
Crush 'N' Gusher, and lazily relax in
Castaway Creek. By the time you're ready to head to dinner at
Disney's Animal Kingdom, you'll be cool and refreshed! When making
Advance Dining Reservations at any of the Resort's dining experiences, I highly suggest searching for your preferred times right at
60 days in advance of your trip. This will be your best chance of getting all the dining reservations you're hoping for! If for some reason you're unable to get reservations at the
Rainforest Cafe at Animal Kingdom, you can also try the Rainforest Cafe restaurant at Disney Springs for a similar experience.
No matter how you plan to spend your days, just remember that park hopping is a little different than it used to be. Now, you will need a
Park Pass Reservation for the first of the four Theme Parks you head to each day. At the moment you do not need a reservation for Water Parks or Parks you plan to attend later in the day.
Happy Hopping!
