And if you’re traveling from far away to attend this festival, there are a lot of things to keep in mind when planning your trip — including when the booths open.

By AJ and the DFB Team 2 Comments

You’ve gotten your dining reservations, booked the perfect hotel room, and even bought your tickets. But if you’ve forgotten to do 1 critical thing, you could find yourself in SERIOUS TROUBLE when you arrive at Disney World.

Magic Kingdom

What are we talking about? Well, Park Pass reservations of course! While you will need a valid theme park ticket to get into the Most Magical Place on Earth, you’ll ALSO need a valid Park Pass Reservation for the park you want to visit.
