Welcome to planDisney, Melissa! We are so glad you’re here!
It may not seem like it quite yet, but your
Walt Disney World Vacation is SO soon! I bet it is going to feel like you blinked, and suddenly the summer is coming to an end, fall is near, and you're off to enjoy
Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary Celebration with your family. And what a party it is! You're going to absolutely love visiting during this special time with the extra sprinklings of pixie dust all around Walt Disney World in honor of The World's Most Magical Celebration. I’m all about the food on vacation, so if you’re like me, you won't want to miss the limited-time special EARidescent treats available through the parks, including The Crooning Flower float available at
Aloha Isle in
Magic Kingdom Park. Count me in!
Melissa, I am so happy to share that you can absolutely pick up a physical Key to the World Card to use on your trip when you arrive at Walt Disney World. You can pick these up from the front desk of any
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, the ticket booth outside of each theme park, and even at the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs. The cards are super cute, featuring some of our most famous Disney pals. You can even ask the Cast Member helping you what characters are available so you can pick your favorite, as long as they have it! If you have multiple people in your party, I recommend selecting a different character for each person, so you know what card belongs to what person. Each Guest also gets to take their cards home as a keepsake to remember their fabulous vacation. You can’t beat a free souvenir!
If you do end up visiting Disney Springs to pick up your ticket, I also recommend checking out one of the fabulous restaurants while you’re there. I often find available dining reservations here somewhat last minute, and the food always blows me away! Not shocking, as there are multiple restaurants at Disney Springs run by James Beard Award-winning Chefs! How cool is that? After your meal, you can stop over at
Gideon’s Bakehouse to pick up some of the best cookies you will ever have. I’m telling you, Melissa, I dream about them! So, you certainly don’t want to miss out!
I do hope this has been helpful! If you have any other vacation planning questions, please do revisit here at planDisney! We would absolutely love to help you make the most of your Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
Bye for now!
