Hi Michelle! Welcome to planDisney.
Oh Boy! Your countdown has begun to your arrival at
The World's Most Magical Celebration at
Walt Disney World Resort. While exploring the parks, keep your eyes peeled for the golden
Disney Fab 50 Character Collection statues. They make the perfect selfie background to share with family back home. I found that naughty Stitch by the purple wall near
Tomorrowland Terrace at
Magic Kingdom Park.
As an avid
runDisney runner, keeping my workout schedule is important to me on vacation. I too, often stay at
Disney's Resorts Collection Value Hotels. Bonus, great value with perks, but alas, no gyms. I did check with a friendly Cast Member, but no week passes are available to other properties. However, any of the resorts offer fantastic jogging paths. My alternative is always packing my resistance bands to get a little work out in before hitting the parks. If you still feel a full gym is needed, I suggest a quick google search as there are many gyms around the Walt Disney World Resort area you could drive or take a rideshare to the facility.
Be sure to take advantage of an awesome resort guest perk. You have a
30-minute Early Theme Park Entry privilege which grants you access to those coveted attractions before the parks officially open. No matter which parks you are visiting, stay until the sun goes down and Disney icons come to shimmering EARidescent life during
Beacons of Magic. My favorite is
Spaceship Earth at
EPCOT.
Keeping it Magical,
Cindy
