Experience the Magic of a Disney World Family Vacation
Embark on a magical spring break vacation with a trip to Disney World in Florida! Disney offers affordable vacation packages so your family can spend fun-filled days at the parks and afternoons poolside. Before your trip, surprise your kids with personalized Disney and Marvel storybooks that they can read on the plane, in the car, and during your vacation downtime! We also recommend packing extra snacks to keep up your energy during the trip.
Disney’s newest offering is the Genie Service, which helps you plan your park days with attraction and entertainment recommendations. You can also pay for the Genie+ service to skip long ride lines by using “lightening lanes” (formerly known as FastPass lanes). Make sure to hit new attractions like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. For dinner, kids can dine in space at the new Space 220 Restaurant at Epcot! Beyond rides, there’s so many other things to enjoy like parades, fireworks, character interactions, shopping, and unique dining experiences. See your children’s faces light up as they experience the magic of a Disney vacation!
