Since my friend and I visited Orlando two months ago to attend EDC Orlando, we had to visit Disney World too to celebrate their 50th anniversary. I have previously visited both theme parks at Disneyland in Anaheim in 2015 and Tokyo DisneySea back in 2016. I almost went to Hong Kong Disneyland in 2017, but my friend woke up too late and we couldn’t just go if it was to close within a few hours of us arriving. We went to Ocean Park instead since it had a later closing time.
Even though we had a limited amount of time in Orlando, my friend and I wanted to visit all 4 theme parks at Disney World: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. We didn’t bother with the 2 waterparks: Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. We only got to visit Disney Springs once for a few hours and also skipped ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
This blog post will cover the main topics about visiting Disney World as I will cover each theme park in more detail in the coming weeks. During our entire Disney visit, all public indoor places and rides required us to wear a face mask. This wasn’t an issue because we alternate with going inside and outside often enough which gives us a break from wearing masks.
Where To Stay?
At first, we were wondering if we should book a hotel near Disney World or stay on site at a Disney hotel. If we stayed off property, we would have the hassle of trying to find an accessible taxi back and forth for all 4 days we planned on visiting each of the 4 parks. It would also cost a lot too.
