Welcome to planDisney, Stephanie. How brilliant that you're planning a trip to
The Most Magical Place on Earth during the
50th Anniversary Celebration. The moment your eyes catch a glimpse of
Cinderella Castle in its spectacular EARidescent colors is sure to create a core memory day. Don't forget to stop by and
say hello to Mickey, who looks delightfully dapper in his own EARidescent outfit.
Whenever my family travels to Walt Disney World, we love taking advantage of all the
benefits that come from staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel. One of the benefits that Disney Resort Guests enjoy is
Early Theme Park Entry. This is a great way to experience a number of magical attractions before the crowds get busy. Guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts and Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts get the added (and amazing) benefit of
Extended Evening Hours on select evenings in select Theme Parks. Personally, this is my favorite time to enjoy the magic of the Theme Parks. Not only are the Parks less busy, but the ambient lighting and romantic atmosphere are like an extra sprinkling of pixie dust into my already full heart.
I actually just returned from staying at my favorite Deluxe Resort,
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. The
dining options are some of the best on property and the
pool area was incredibly relaxing (there's nothing like unwinding in a whirlpool spa after a day at the Parks!). Every morning I looked out of my hotel room window and was greeted by beautiful African wildlife. I also took full advantage of those Extended Evening Hours.
I hope that is helpful, Stephanie. I hope you have an enchanting trip!
ChEARS,
Mike
