Hiya Marc!
Welcome to planDisney, the most magical place on the internet! I am so happy you decided to stop by and ask us this question, and I am thrilled that I get to help you today. How excited are you to be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort during its 50th anniversary?
To enjoy all the celebratory offerings, you will need to link your theme park tickets to your
My Disney Experience account. If you purchased your tickets through the Walt Disney World Resort website, they should already be linked to your account. To double-check, simply click on "My Plans" and "Tickets and Memory Maker" or on "Tickets and Passes" in the My Disney Experience mobile app. If your tickets are not linked already, you should be able to click on the plus sign and connect your new ticket or
enter the serial number here. If you have any questions or need any help with these steps, don't hesitate to reach out to a Disney representative. Disney Cast Members truly are real-life fairy godparents, and I always go to them for help!
After you have linked your tickets,
book your theme park reservations for each day you intend to visit. If you have purchased tickets with the
Park Hopper Option, simply make a theme park reservation for the first park you plan to visit. Once you get to the Walt Disney World Resort, you will have to visit your reserved park first before you can park hop, which is only available starting at two P.M. Some exciting things you get to look forward to are, first and foremost, the
50th-anniversary celebrations. Indeed, the new nighttime spectaculars,
Disney Enchantment and
Harmonious, at Magic Kingdom Park and EPCOT, respectively, have now become some of my favourites. You will also be able to watch the park icons light up at night in an EARidescent glow and enjoy some festive decorations! Second, check out the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, which returns on July 14th, 2022. I always love trying out the different treats at the different food booths!
I hope this was helpful, Marc, and that you will have the best day ever on your next Disney vacation. If you have any other questions in the time leading up to your trip, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are always happy to help, especially from one international Guest to another!
Have a magical day,
Ariane
