About Disney World Orlando

Walt Disney World Orlando Resort covers an enormous 40 square miles – nearly the size of San Francisco – and is home to four theme parks, two waterparks, over 140 restaurants, a couple of dozen on-site Disney hotels, and an unending array of shows, shops, characters, rides, and attractions.

Here are a few top tips for planning a family holiday to Disney World Orlando:

1. Pre-book everything

There are a few reservations that you definitely need to make before your journey. Apart from your usual flights and hotel with HoliYeah, to begin, you’ll want to get a Disney World Orlando Park Pass that you usually get free of charge with our all-inclusive Disney World packages. You can also reserve experiences at the 60-day milestone, such as creating your own lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop.

Take note that all of these reservations, along with your park entry, must be made on the same day; to dine at a theme park, you must have both valid park admission and a Disney Park Pass reservation for the same park. For instance, if you have a ticket for Chip ‘n’ Dale’s Harvest Feast at Garden Grill at EPCOT, you will also require a Park Pass reservation for EPCOT on the same day, in addition to a valid park entrance.

Reservations for dining do not guarantee admission to theme parks. Our Disney World Orlando experts can help you book Disney Parks passes, dinner reservations, and experience reservations.

2. Maintain Up-To-Date Information

Yes, there are a lot of changes that have happened over the last year in response to COVID, and things are still changing inside the parks. We have a guide to current policies and tips for wearing a mask in the theme parks to help you out. Call us.

3. Be adaptable as well.

Be adaptable and reasonable in your expectations for the entire family, including yourself. Take some deep breaths, make a plan for some downtime, and enjoy some valuable family bonding time. Things are always changing in parks at the moment, and you need to be more adaptable.

While we enjoy it when a fantastic strategy comes together, we also need to understand when it’s acceptable to tweak the plan and shift the route. Conduct periodic “temperature checks” of everyone’s energy and attitude. If you’re forced to cut something short or alter your plans, don’t fret. It is about the quality of the product, not the quantity. And when navigating the difficult Disney World holiday crowds, flexibility is critical!

4. Accommodation

HoliYeah offers a variety of hotel options ranging from budget to premium at Disney World. This enables you to select a hotel within your budget. Each hotel is themed, such as the All-Star Movies Resort, which features a lobby that resembles a movie theatre. Throughout the hotel, themed décor and sculptures contribute to the property’s quirky atmosphere. Not only are you close to the parks, but you also get an hour’s early access to some of them. Transportation is provided by resort vehicles or by complimentary parking at theme parks.

Itinerary for Disney World

A minute-by-minute schedule takes the thrill out of racing across Disney World’s parks. Rather than that, create a broad timetable for each day, including the parks you intend to visit and breaks for smaller children.

Make a list of the rides or experiences that are a must-see at each park to help you plan your visit. If you get Park Hopper tickets, you can visit numerous parks in a single day, giving you even more freedom with your itinerary.

Types of Disney World Tickets

Disney offers a variety of ticket options.

There are ordinary tickets, Park Hopper tickets, party tickets (such as those for the Halloween party), and the occasional special ticket offer that can save you money in certain circumstances. After determining the duration of your trip, you must select whether to visit a single theme park per day or many parks per day.


Standard tickets are valid for one park per day. The cost of a single-day park ticket varies according to the date of your visit and the park you wish to visit (the Magic Kingdom is the most expensive), although most guests come over multiple days.

After five or more days, you will notice a significant decrease in your daily price.

Disney World Orlando will provide you with a couple of extra days to use your multi-day tickets. For example, if you have eight days left on a five-day ticket, you cannot save unused days for a future trip.

That is advantageous if you wish to visit Disney for a week but require some built-in relaxation. When considering how long to stay, there is no doubt that one extended visit to Disney World is less expensive than two shorter visits when ticket prices are considered.
