Hi Vickie!
You must be so excited about your upcoming trip to the Walt Disney World Resort! Disney's Art of Animation Resort is absolutely enchanting, and the theming is incredible. October will be here before you know it!
Personally, I alway prefer to choose the
Park Hopper Option on my theme park tickets. When you have a Park Hopper, you have the option of going to one park and then "hopping" to another one in the same day. I like the flexibility this provides. You might want to go to Magic Kingdom Park in the morning but head to Epcot Theme Park for dinner, for example. Now, isn't that convenient?
I absolutely think you are on the right track choosing Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and Disney's Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show. There are so many fabulous dining experiences, so it's not easy to recommend just a few. Many families love Chef's Mickey's at Disney's Contemporary Resort Hotel. There are fabulous and up close interactions with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto and Goofy. You can't beat it! Characters are always subject to change, but they are the usuals. Don't forget that your little princess is sure to enjoy dining with the princesses. How about Cinderella's Royal Table in Magic Kingdom Park or Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in Epcot Theme Park? Take a look at all of the
Amazing Dining Options at the Walt Disney World Resort.
I wish you the most
magical vacation, Vickie!
