Hi there Omar, and welcome to planDisney!
It feels like last year was conjured up by the Disney Villains; it was a tough time for us all! I completely understand wanting to escape and experience a bit of magic, and I also can imagine the frustration in seeing that
your preferred theme parks are booked solid for your travel dates. I'd be happy to help with some alternatives so that you and your son can enjoy the perfect getaway.
First, if you are absolutely tied to going during that particular weekend, I did see that
EPCOT is currently accepting reservations for April 3rd. If your son meets the 40-inch height requirement, he might enjoy a few of my kids' favorite attractions like
Test Track and
Soarin' Around the World. You'd also be able to explore the sights and flavors of the
Taste of EPCOT International Flower & Graden Festival. If you purchase a ticket that includes the
Park Hopper option, you could start your day at EPCOT, and then visit the
Magic Kingdom Park or
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park after 2:00 PM, pending availability. Check Park Hopping status on the
My Disney Experience Mobile App or by calling 407-560-5000.
April 2nd looks like it's booked solid across all four theme parks, but you could consider visiting
Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park that day since, at the moment, this park does not require advance reservations. We travel to Walt Disney World from the mid-Atlantic and love to spend time in the pools and water parks during the spring when Florida's weather is Olaf-approved, but Elsa is still casting some final frosts up north.
To truly enjoy your trip as planned, you might want to think about postponing your vacation to a time when both of your preferred theme parks are available. If you are working around school vacations and looking for a long weekend, I recommend Memorial Day weekend in late-May. The
Disney Park Pass Availability Calendar looks good, and you won't have to wait too long for your special trip. Check out
this Panel Extra for ideas from my fellow panelists on Walt Disney World vacation countdowns.
Omar, no matter when you and your son decide to visit, I hope you have the getaway that you need. If there is anything else we at planDisney can to do help, please come see us again. Thanks for stopping by, and hopefully we'll see ya real soon!
