Welcome, Sendy!
How exciting to take a special
Walt Disney World Resort vacation this spring!
Disney planning can be overwhelming at first but I’m here to be your guide on this adventure. There are many new processes in place to make your experience as a Guest better than ever - let’s dive in together!
Since you know your arrival date, you’re off to a great start! Please know that it is an exciting week at Walt Disney World so I expect it will be busy and you should firm up your plans quickly. It’s a popular Spring Break week for many schools, but also the return of a fan-favorite
nighttime spectacular and the grand opening of a new thrill ride (
TRON: Lightcycle / Run).
The next step is to decide where to stay. The primary distinction is to stay either at a
Walt Disney World Resort Hotel or an off-site hotel. You can browse availability, pricing, and
special offers to make this decision. There are
many benefits to staying on site (including
Early Theme Park Entry which would help with the crowds that week), and I love the storytelling, themes, and service that come with staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel.
Theme park tickets are next! Disney Parks now require a
theme park reservation, so please check availability of the park you’re interested in each day before finalizing your purchase. You should buy the tickets and secure these reservations at the same time as soon as you’re ready. If staying on property, you can purchase your tickets when you book this stay online. If not, you can
purchase them separately on the website. I recommend purchasing
Memory Maker for special savings before arrival.
Now that you have the major components together you can work on the details that make your visit unique.
Dining reservations are available now (they open 60 days in advance). Availability may be limited but try filtering on your planned location each day and be open to eating at off-peak times. Guests change plans often, so keep checking and take advantage of the Walk-up Waitlist in the My Disney Experience app during your trip to find some last-minute openings.
Disney Genie Service can help
make the most of your theme park days. You can download the
My Disney Experience App at home and become comfortable with key features before arriving -
Mobile Food Ordering and
Virtual Queues will be especially useful.
Please let us know how else we can help as you count down to this magical trip!
Wishing you a practically perfect vacation,
Amy
