Things To Do
Walt Disney World® Resort
You could easily spend at least 3 days here exploring all the parks! (Our personal favorite is Animal Kingdom.) Under "Things to Do" on Disney's website, you can explore attractions, special events, and dining. If you are anticipating going to Disney, we recommend booking dining 2 months out to get the most out of the experience. If you're feeling fancy, you can also purchase Lightning Lane tickets to skip some lines. We also recommend downloading the MyDisneyExperience app to get the most out of your trip! As part of our wedding, Disney offers a partial ticket discount if you plan to enter the parks after 1pm or 5pm. To purchase, make sure to call the number listed above. If shopping is more your thing, feel free to take Disney transportation (or a car) to Disney Springs!
Restaurant Recommendations
If staying on Disney property or just want the Disney dining experience, we highly recommend making a reservation up to 60 days out. We have compiled a list of some of our favorite places, both inside and outside the parks: *Sebastian's Bistro (Caribbean Beach Resort, family-style Caribbean) *Beaches & Cream Soda Shop (Boardwalk Resort, ice cream) *Coral Reef Restaurant (EPCOT, seafood) *Everglazed Donuts (Disney Springs, doughnuts) *Raglan Road (Disney Springs, Irish) *San Angel Inn Restaurante (EPCOT, Mexican)
