1. How many theme parks are there at Walt Disney World, and which one is best for my family?

Walt Disney World has four theme parks: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The best park for your family depends on your interests—Magic Kingdom is great for classic Disney magic and young kids, EPCOT offers cultural experiences and great food, Hollywood Studios is perfect for thrill-seekers and Star Wars fans, and Animal Kingdom combines wildlife with immersive attractions. Our agents can help you decide which parks are best for your family based on your preferences.

2. Do I need park reservations to visit Walt Disney World?

Not necessarily. Most date-based tickets (i.e. you purchased for a specific date range) do not need theme park reservations at Walt Disney World. Any open ended tickets such as military discounted tickets or annual passes do still require park reservations to enter any of the theme parks at Walt Disney World.

3. How do Lightning Lanes work, and are they worth it?

Lightning Lanes allow you to skip the regular standby lines at select attractions. You can purchase Lightning Lane access for individual rides or use the Lightning Lane Multi Pass, which covers multiple attractions throughout the day. For popular rides, these passes can save you hours of waiting, making them a valuable investment. We can guide you on the best strategy for using Lightning Lanes based on your priorities.

4. What are the best dining options at Disney World, and how do I get reservations?

Walt Disney World offers a wide range of dining options, from quick-service spots to fine dining experiences with Disney characters. Popular options include Be Our Guest in Magic Kingdom, Space 220 in EPCOT, and Topolino’s Terrace at Disney’s Riviera Resort. Dining reservations are highly recommended and can be made up to 60 days in advance. We’ll handle securing these reservations for you, ensuring you enjoy the best dining experiences available.

5. Are there any special events at Walt Disney World?

Yes, Disney World hosts a variety of special events throughout the year, such as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival, and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. These events often require separate tickets and provide unique entertainment, seasonal decorations, and themed food offerings. We can help you plan your trip around these events if they match your interests.

6. What is the best way to get around Walt Disney World?

Disney World offers complimentary transportation for resort guests, including buses, the monorail, boats, and the Disney Skyliner. For added convenience, there are also rideshare services and Minnie Vans available for a fee. Our agents can advise you on the best transportation options based on your itinerary, ensuring you get around the parks smoothly.

7. How much time should I plan to spend at each park?

We generally recommend spending at least one full day at each of the four theme parks to fully experience the attractions, shows, and dining. If you have more time, consider additional days to revisit favorites or explore at a more relaxed pace. We’ll customize your itinerary to make the most of your time based on your travel style and must-do experiences.

8. Are there any must-see attractions for first-time visitors?

For first-time visitors, some must-see attractions include Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle and Pirates of the Caribbean, EPCOT’s Spaceship Earth, Hollywood Studios’ Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and Animal Kingdom’s Avatar Flight of Passage. Our agents will help you prioritize these top attractions and navigate the best times to visit them during your stay.

9. What should I pack for my Disney World vacation?

Pack comfortable walking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, sunscreen, and reusable water bottles. Don’t forget your MagicBands or park tickets, a portable phone charger, and ponchos or umbrellas for unexpected rain.
