Walt Disney World 2021 {Overview}

3/5/2021

0 Comments

 
I am heading back to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida next week!

Here's the overview of the trip, including who's coming, what we're doing, and more.

For all things Disney, start here.

Visiting during Covid

Let's start with the most obvious obstacle. Why did we decide to go to Walt Disney World during Covid-times? 

I visited Walt Disney World back in November 2020 with some hesitation. Any concerns that I'd had were eliminated when I saw the levels of diligence and care with which Disney treats Covid safety and guest safety. Watch the Disney 2020 video for much more detail. 

Being at Walt Disney World feels exponentially safer than the outside world. Mask wearing and social distancing are enforced more at Disney World than anyplace else I've been to.

We're going in March because it's my niece's Spring Break from school. She is ten and has NO IDEA that we're going!

Days and Parks

Renee, my Disney-obsessed sister-in-law, and I began planning our next hypothetical trip to Walt Disney World while we were there in 2019. This trip is exactly what we'd dreamt up. It includes the following days and parks. 

Days spent in Orlando
  • 7 days for Renee, the kids, and I
  • 5 days for Bryce and his brother Brandon
    • They'll both head home a few days before the rest of us
    • They're going on an alligator boat adventure one day while we're at the parks
​
​Walt Disney World Parks
  • For Renee, the kids, and I it's all of the Disney parks
    • Magic Kingdom TWICE
    • Animal Kingdom
    • EPCOT
    • Hollywood Studios 
  • Select Disney parks for Bryce and Brandon
    • Animal Kingdom
    • EPCOT

Universal Studios Orlando
  • We're all going to Universal Studios Orlando for a day
  • We're visiting both parks there: Universal Orlando and Islands of Adventure

Staying at a Disney Resort

We are staying at a Disney Resort again! Read more about the perks of staying at a Disney property here.

We'd originally booked at the Art of Animation Resort. It's a value resort, Disney's most cost effective offering. We quickly learned that value resorts have double beds and no hot tubs!

We upgraded to a moderate resort! We're staying at Coronado Springs Resort where we'll be sleeping in queen sized beds and relaxing often in both hot tubs and pools onsite. The price difference was less than $300 total to upgrade for both of our rooms.

The Food!

My favorite part of a Disney vacation is the food! Catch {the food} from my last trip here.

I'm most excited for my dinner date with Renee (just the two of us!) at Topolino's Terrace  in the brand new Riviera Resort. It's French and Italian cuisine with "sweeping rooftop views!"

​I'm filling a dream of mine to eat at the restaurant inside Mexico at EPCOT. It's called the San Angel Inn Restaurante and we're having lunch there. 

The icing on the cake will for sure be our lunch at Cinderella's Royal Table. INSIDE THE CASTLE!  We're going for the prix-fixe lunch and I bet you I'll cry.

I couldn't be more excited to see our family and spend time at the happiest place on Earth!
