Walt Disney World, planned by people who know it by heart.

With four theme parks, we recommend at least one full day per park. Many families plan five to seven days so they can add a water park or rest day and enjoy the parks at a more relaxed pace. We'll recommend a plan based on your family's ages, interests, and pace.

Walt Disney World has four theme parks: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom. It also has two water parks, Disney's Typhoon Lagoon and Disney's Blizzard Beach.

Magic Kingdom is usually the favorite for young children, with more rides suited to toddlers and preschoolers than any other park. Disney's Animal Kingdom is also wonderful for little ones who love animals. We'll help you plan around naps, height requirements, and attention spans.

For many families, yes. Disney Resort hotel guests enjoy perks like early entry to the theme parks and Disney transportation, plus the convenience of staying inside the magic. We'll compare resorts for your budget and help you decide whether staying on-site is right for your trip.

Value resorts offer playful theming at the most budget-friendly prices. Moderate resorts add more amenities, themed pools, and charming settings. Deluxe resorts offer the most amenities and the best locations, with walking, monorail, or boat access to select parks. We'll help you find the right fit for your family.

Lightning Lane is Disney's paid option for shorter waits at select attractions. Options include Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Lightning Lane Single Pass, and Lightning Lane Premier Pass, and prices vary by date and park. Disney Resort hotel guests can book Lightning Lane earlier than other guests. We'll help you decide which options fit your trip and plan your selections.

It depends on your travel dates, your must-do attractions, and your budget. During busy seasons, Lightning Lane can save hours of waiting. We'll help you decide whether it's worth it for your family and which parks and days to use it on.

Not always. Park Hopper tickets let you visit more than one park on the same day, which can be great for longer trips or flexible families, while one-park-per-day tickets work well for many first-timers. We'll recommend the ticket that fits your plans.

Walt Disney World dining reservations open up to 60 days in advance, and popular restaurants and character meals can fill quickly. We'll help you plan your dining wish list and make the most of your reservation window.

Crowds follow school schedules and holidays, so weeks when most children are in school tend to be less busy. Summer is hot and busy, while EPCOT festivals and seasonal celebrations make spring, fall, and the holidays especially popular. We'll help you choose dates that balance crowds, cost, and weather.

It depends on your family's eating style and the restaurants you'd like to visit. When the Disney Dining Plan is available for your dates, we'll help you compare it to paying as you go, so you can choose what makes sense.

Absolutely. Many families pair Walt Disney World with a Disney Cruise Line sailing from Port Canaveral or add a few days at Universal Orlando Resort. We'll help you plan the timing, hotels, and transportation.

Planning is complimentary for most Walt Disney World vacation packages. For a few smaller bookings, such as tickets only or very short hotel-only stays, a modest planning fee may apply, and we'll always tell you before we book.
