Hiya, Brad! Welcome to planDisney! Your vacation countdown has begun and before long you’ll be enjoying
Mickey-shaped beignets and all the other Mickey-shaped foods you could want! Woo hoo!
If you purchased tickets as part of your vacation package then they are likely date-based tickets and you do not need a theme park reservation. If you are using an annual pass, student or conference group ticket, or Disney Military Salute Ticket,
then a theme park reservation is required. If you’re looking to spend even more time in the magic then
Disney After Hours is a great option, but it is not included with your vacation package. It is a special event that requires the purchase of a separate ticket. If you do decide to purchase a ticket, you’ll get to experience the nighttime splendor of the Magic Kingdom with smaller crowds and lower wait times. And remember, while the event starts at 10pm, guests can enter the park at 7pm. That means you can catch the Happily Ever After fireworks show!
Your vacation is off to a great start with a reservation at Port Orleans, Brad. I love both Port Orleans Resort- Riverside and Port Orleans Resort- French Quarter, so you’re in for a good time at either resort. There are so many
recreation options, and the
live music at Scat Cat’s Club will bring that New Orleans
joie d vivre to your trip.
I hope this helps with your vacation planning. Come on back to planDisney if you have any other questions!
Laissez les bons temps rouler!
Matt
