Hi Alicia! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm excited to hear about your upcoming visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort! Deciding to stay in a Disney Resort hotel is the perfect idea! It allows you to be immersed in the magic for the entirety of your trip.
At this time,
Theme Park Reservations are no longer required for Guests with date-based tickets. You'll simply show up at the park you want to visit each day you have a ticket for. Your park tickets will be valid during your stay, although you can only visit the parks on two separate occasions. If you added the
Park Hopper Option, this will free you up to hop to any of the parks. This will help you create more flexibility and give you the chance to experience all of the parks.
If you decide to purchase
Lightning Lane Multi-Pass, you can reserve return times for up to three attractions. This will require you to plan which park you want to visit each day, since this can be done in advance. Since you're staying in a Disney Resort hotel, you can begin doing so 7 days before you arrive. This perk will give you a leg up on other Guests visiting during that time.
Alicia, I hope you have a magical time during your stay!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
