Walt Disney World is the most magical place on earth. Planning it
properly makes all the difference.
Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida is the most visited theme park resort in the world. Four iconic theme parks, two water parks, more than 25 resort hotels, world-class dining, and experiences that families talk about for the rest of their lives. It is also one of the most complex holidays you will ever plan and that complexity is exactly where I come in.

The Theme Parks
Walt Disney World is home to four uniquely themed parks, each with its own charm and attractions:
- Magic Kingdom: The iconic park where Cinderella Castle stands tall, featuring beloved attractions like Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the classic "it’s a small world."
- EPCOT: A celebration of human achievement, technology, and world cultures. Here, you can explore the future in Future World and take a trip around the globe in the World Showcase.
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios: The place for movie magic! Step into immersive lands like Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Toy Story Land, and enjoy thrilling attractions like the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom: Where adventure meets nature, with breathtaking experiences like Pandora – The World of Avatar, Expedition Everest, and the ever-popular Kilimanjaro Safaris.
Located in Orlando, Florida, Walt Disney World consists of four incredible theme parks, two water parks, a variety of resort hotels, shopping, dining, and entertainment districts. It’s a place where fantasy meets reality, offering something for guests of all ages.
Beyond the Parks
The magic doesn’t stop at the parks! Walt Disney World also offers two incredible water parks, Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon, along with the bustling Disney Springs shopping and dining district. Whether you’re craving world-class dining, live entertainment, or unique shopping experiences, there’s always something to enjoy.

Alex's top tips for Walt Disney World from the UK
Start planning 12 to 18 months ahead.
The best resorts at the best prices go quickly once promotional offers are released. Dining reservations for the most popular restaurants open 60 days before your travel date and sell out within hours. Early planning is not excessive, it is essential for getting the holiday you actually want.
Give yourself at least 10 nights.
Walt Disney World is enormous. Four theme parks, two water parks, Disney Springs, and more than 25 resort hotels. A week is not enough. For most UK families I recommend a minimum of 10 nights. 14 nights is ideal for families who want to cover everything comfortably without feeling rushed.
Set up My Disney Experience before you travel.
This app controls everything at Disney World dining reservations, Lightning Lane, mobile food ordering, your park tickets, and your resort room key. Download it at home, link your tickets, and set up your whole party before you fly. Do not try to learn it in the park on your first morning.
Where to Stay, the Resort Hotel Tiers Explained
Every Disney resort hotel, regardless of tier, gives you Early Theme Park Entry up to 30 minutes before the general public and complimentary Disney transport to every park and Disney Springs. The tier you choose affects room size, atmosphere, and in some cases location. It does not affect your access to the on-site benefits that matter most. You can read the full guide to why staying at a Disney hotel makes such a difference.
Value Resorts
Bold theming, all on-site benefits, most affordable nightly rate. Art of Animation's family suites sleep up to six and include a kitchenette, ideal for larger families or families with young children. The on-site magic at a price that works.
Moderate Resorts
More space, more atmosphere, and a genuinely beautiful resort experience at a price that suits most UK families. Port Orleans Riverside is my most recommended resort for first-time visitors, beautiful waterways, princess-themed rooms, excellent pools, and all on-site benefits.
Deluxe Resorts
Disney's premium offering. Extraordinary theming, superior dining, and in some cases unbeatable location advantages, the monorail loop for Magic Kingdom, the EPCOT area resorts, the Animal Kingdom Lodge savanna views. For families where the resort experience is as important as the parks.
The Four Parks, and What to Expect from Each One
Magic Kingdom
The iconic park. The castle. The characters. The classic rides that define what Disney World means to most families. Magic Kingdom is where most first-time visitors spend the most time and where the emotional weight of the trip lives. For families with young children this is the park to prioritise above all others. Plan more time here than anywhere else.
EPCOT
EPCOT has transformed dramatically in recent years and is now one of the most exciting parks at Walt Disney World for all ages. Guardians of the Galaxy, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, Frozen Ever After, and the World Showcase, a lagoon ringed with pavilions from 11 countries, make this a full day destination in its own right.
Hollywood Studios
The park for movie magic and the most in-demand attractions on property. Star Wars Galaxy's Edge, Toy Story Land, the Tower of Terror, and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. For families with older children and teenagers this is often the highlight of the trip. Lightning Lane strategy matters most here.
Animal Kingdom
The park that surprises first-time visitors most. Avatar Flight of Passage in Pandora is widely considered the best theme park attraction in the world. Kilimanjaro Safaris takes you through a genuine African savanna with real animals. Bigger and deeper than most people expect. A full day well spent.

really helpful. We probably would upgrade the plan next time just to get a bit more flexibility, but overall it added great value.

Alex managed to secure us the Free Dining offer and it completely changed our trip.

Her advice on dining reservations was spot on—we got into places we never thought we would.
Would 100% book this way again.

We were completely overwhelmed trying to plan Disney ourselves. There is SO much information out there, and we didn’t know what actually mattered.

Booking through Your Fairytale Holiday
took a lot of the stress out of planning our first Disney trip. Everything was explained clearly, and we felt much more confident going into the holiday.
The park tips and dining advice were really helpful, and we managed to do so much without feeling rushed. A tiny bit of a learning curve once we got there, but overall a brilliant experience and one we’d happily repeat.
-Marie, travelled October 2023
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We booked during the Free Disney Dining offer and honestly, it made such a difference to our budget. Alex explained exactly what was included and how to get the most value from it—we definitely wouldn’t have used it as well without her advice! Having so many meals included took away the stress of constantly spending while we were there. It made the whole trip feel more relaxed and better value overall.
-The Mitchell Family travelled in September 2023
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Free Dining offer was a really nice addition to our trip and definitely helped with budgeting.
Alex explained how it all worked and gave us some great dining suggestions which we really appreciated. We didn’t always use the credits in the best way, but that was more on us—next time we’ll definitely follow her advice more closely!
-The Collins Family travelled in September 2023
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Travelling post-Covid came with a lot of questions, but
we felt supported throughout the whole process. Communication was great and we always knew what we needed to do next. It wasn’t completely stress-free (mainly due to the ever-changing rules), but having someone guide us through it made a huge difference."
- Charlotte, travelled in May 2022
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Booking our Disney holiday after Covid felt overwhelming at first, but having everything managed for us made it feel simple again. We were kept informed of any updates, and the planning support meant we didn’t feel out of our depth.
It brought the excitement back into travelling.
- Lauren, travelled February 2022
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“We honestly wouldn’t book a Disney holiday any other way now.
From the very beginning, everything was taken care of—resort recommendations, dining plans, park strategies… every detail was thoughtfully handled. It took away so much of the stress and allowed us to simply enjoy the excitement of the trip.
Travelling in February 2020 also came with added worries around Covid, but Alex knew exactly what to do. She kept us informed, reassured, and made sure we were safe and supported throughout—it made a huge difference during such an uncertain time.
Even while we were away, it was so reassuring to know we had someone there if we needed anything.
Absolutely priceless.”
- James, travelled in February 2020
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“My family and I have booked our annual trips to Walt Disney World with Your Fairytale Holiday for the past eight years—and we wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Of course, we could book it ourselves, but we genuinely love working with Alex. Her knowledge of Disney is incredible, and the added extras, tips, and advice she provides are truly invaluable.
It’s that level of care and expertise that makes all the difference—and why we’ll never book with anyone else.”

Charles, travelled in September 2019
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Alex is amazing. She really takes the time to understand exactly what you want from your holiday—when you want to travel, where you want to stay, and what budget you’re working with.
She’s completely honest and makes thoughtful recommendations to enhance your trip, not just sell it. In fact, she saved us money compared to other quotes we’d received, while also giving us a truly personal service.
From our very first quote right through to weeks after we returned, Alex was always there—checking in regularly, offering dining recommendations, FastPass advice, and support while we were actually in Orlando.
I wouldn’t book with anyone else and have already recommended Your Fairytale Holiday to so many friends and families.”
-Laura, travelled in October 2019
