Hi Danielle! Welcome to planDisney.
You are only a few short days away from your immersive vacation at
Walt Disney World Resort in time to catch
The World's Most Magical Celebration before it comes to a close at the end of March 2023. Treat yourself to some of the commemorative
50th Anniversary Celebration Merchandise. I adore the retro vibe of the
Vault Collection.
With your advance dining reservation at
Chef Mickey's to meet the head cheese himself and all of his best buddies, you will be allowed to park at
Disney's Contemporary Resort. I suggest having your reservation pulled up on your phone to show the security guard at the gate. This strategy has definitely helped speed up the check-in process for me in the past. On average, you can park for about three hours to enjoy your meal and explore the resort.
If the timing works, head out to the observation deck of the fourth-floor concourse to view
Disney Enchantment on the evening of your dining reservation. This nighttime spectacular will be coming to a close in early April. At
Outer Rim, you can relax for a nightcap and view Bay Lake.
Keeping it Magical,
Cindy
