Welcome to planDisney, Karina! I'm so glad you found us. Nothing makes me happier than hearing that someone is planning their very first visit to Walt Disney World Resort. Seeing Cinderella Castle still makes me teary-eyed, so I can imagine how you'll feel. My number one tip is to soak it all in, Karina. You can only go for the first time once. Now, let's see about starting you off on your planning journey!
I'm happy to say you can peruse the
Walt Disney World website in Spanish by clicking near the top of the screen on "United States (English)." A window will open with the option to change the language. Since no planning materials are sent through the mail, this is your best way to explore your planning options and book your visit.
One of the first things I'd recommend is to set up a
My Disney Experience account on your computer. This is where you can access all of your reservations and plans. Then, once you're in the Theme Parks, you'll use the
My Disney Experience Mobile App to keep track of your itinerary, check wait times for attractions, and more.
When planning a visit, the first item I book is my
Disney Resort Hotel. Staying on-site offers many advantages, such as complimentary transportation throughout the parks, early theme park entry, and more. There are resorts for all budgets and interests, so have fun exploring! My resort pick for families is
Disney's Pop Century Resort. This resort has fun, larger-than-life theming and is on the
Disney Skyliner route. This is a Value Resort, so it's also budget-friendly!
Once I've secured a place to stay, I decide which type of
Theme Park Tickets I'll need for my party. You'll choose the number of days you'd like to be in the parks and whether or not you'll want to
add the option to hop from park to park on the same day. One tip is to book your hotel stay for a few days longer than your park ticket. That way, you can enjoy your resort's amenities and maybe a day at
Disney Springs. Most Theme Park Tickets have a use window, but they don't have to be used on consecutive days, so my family likes to take a break from the parks for a "chill" day in the middle of our stay.
Enjoy exploring your options, Karina, and please
stop by planDisney with any questions. And feel free to submit your questions in Spanish; you can change the language in the same spot. Several of my panelist friends will be happy to answer in Español!
Magic awaits,
Elaine
