Planning a Walt Disney World Resort Vacation
Thinking about taking your family to Walt Disney World Resort in 2025? Here are some things to consider to make sure your vacation is full of magic!
Stay Onsite at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel
This is my top recommendation when assisting families with planning their Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Staying onsite can make all the difference:
- Easy access to complimentary Disney transportation from your hotel to all of the Disney Parks or Disney Springs
- Early Park Entry to start your day off right with lower crowds
- In 2025, Disney Resort hotel guests can take advantage of complimentary water park admission on their check-in day
- Availability to purchase your Lightning Lane passes 7 days before your hotel arrival date
- Ability to book your dining reservations 60 days in advance for your entire stay (up to 10 days)
- Stay immersed in the magic with incredible Disney touches
Plan for Rest Time During your Trip
To keep everyone at their best and fully ready to take in every magical moment, add rest time to your itinerary! This might be mid-day breaks, rest days off from visiting the parks or starting park days late/ending early some days, depending on your family. Enjoy the pool, have a nap and take in a slower pace to refuel for all the fun Walt Disney World Resort offers.
