Hi Carol!
Welcome to planDisney! It won't be long until you're walking down Main Street, U.S.A., and enjoying all the wonderful sights and sounds of Magic Kingdom Park! It sounds like you are already well on your way to planning a great visit with
park hopper tickets, character dining, and a visit to the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique!
Carol, your
3-day tickets are valid for 5 days from your initial start date. If the selected start date of your tickets is Thursday, you should be fine to visit parks on Thursday, Friday, and Monday with Monday being the last day your tickets are valid. I really enjoy taking a day or two to relax around our resort in the middle of several busy park days - especially when traveling with a little one! Be sure to check out the activities available at your resort when you check in. You'll usually find them posted in the hotel lobby and activities may include fun things like tie-dye, poolside games, Movies Under the Stars, and campfires with s'mores! Some of these come with an extra charge, but you'll also find several complimentary options. A day outside of the parks is also the perfect time to visit
Disney Springs. While you're exploring this shopping and dining destination, I'd recommend making plans to stick around for the nightly performance of
Disney Dreams That Soar. You can check the latest schedule updates in your
My Disney Experience Mobile App.
I think your little one will certainly enjoy the royal treatment you have planned with breakfast at
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall and a visit to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. If you haven't already made your reservation for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, you'll want to do that as soon as possible. I suggest making your reservation as early in the day as you can without rushing breakfast. You'll want to plan 60 to 90 minutes for your breakfast at Akershus and then about an hour of travel time to walk to the front of EPCOT, catch the monorail, transfer at the Transportation and Ticket Center, and then arrive at Magic Kingdom Park and make your way to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.
Once your makeover is complete, you can spend the rest of the day like royalty at Magic Kingdom Park! There are several princess meet and greets available including a total of four princesses meeting in two separate greetings at Princess Fairytale Hall near Cinderella Castle and Ariel at her Grotto over by Under the Sea - Journey of The Little Mermaid. One of my favorite attractions is
Enchanted Tales with Belle as you get to participate in an interactive re-telling of this magical story and then meet Belle herself at the end of the experience! You may also want to consider a
Capture Your Moment photo session to commemorate this special visit and makeover!
Carol, I'm sending lots of pixie dust your way and wishing you and your family a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World Resort this summer! If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
