Walt Disney World Holidays

There's nothing quite like a trip to Walt Disney World. From the moment you arrive, the outside world seems to disappear, as if by magic.

Set across nearly 50 square miles close to the city of Orlando, this vast wonderland comprises four theme parks, two water parks, and neighbourhoods to eat, drink, relax, and shop. It’s all connected by an efficient transport system of monorails, boats, gondolas, and buses, linking impressive masterpieces of whimsy and magic where no detail is overlooked.

Days start with rides through mesmerising lands, some exhilaratingly fast and others slow, immersive, and magical. Feast on Mickey-shaped ice cream and cinnamon-dusted churros as you walk from land to land, stopping to pose for photos with beloved Disney characters or enjoying a high-octane stunt show. You might have to queue (although bookable Lighting Lanes help), but the clever people at Walt Disney World have even found ways to make passing the time while you’re waiting more enjoyable. And when you’re ready for a respite from queues and sunshine, settle down to watch a show with Nemo or sing along with Elsa and Anna. Every day at Walt Disney World ends with spectacular laser and fireworks displays set to music.

Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan

For each night of your stay in a Disney Resort hotel, each person will receive credits for two quick-service meals, one non-alcoholic drink (or alcoholic drink for guests over 21) per meal, one selected snack or drink, and a refillable drink mug, which you can top up at any Disney Resort hotel.

Available at over 100 quick-service dining locations across Walt Disney World, including the parks, Disney Boardwalk, Disney Springs, and Resort hotels. Dining reservations aren’t required at Disney’s quick-service restaurants, so this is a great option if you don’t want to make lots of dining plans ahead of time.

Meals and snacks are loaded onto your Magicband. To redeem your dining plan, present your MagicBand when you pay for the meal, snack, or drink. Meals and snacks can be redeemed anytime during your stay, so you don’t have to use the allocation the same way each day. Unused meals and snacks will roll over day to day and expire at midnight on your checkout date.

Magic Kingdom
You’ll walk into the centrepiece of Walt Disney World to a soundtrack of music, greeted by flowers and Main Street USA and the smell of sweet, buttered popcorn. In the Magic Kingdom, you'll find famous Disney rides, major attractions like Space Mountain and Haunted Mansion, and newer additions like TRON Lightcycle / Run, one of the fastest coasters in any Disney theme park. Magic Kingdom is also great for little ones with whimsical rides like Peter Pan's Flight and Dumbo the Flying Elephant. The fireworks over the castle are quite a sight, too, and the parade that weaves its way around the park is an unmissable display of flawlessly choreographed Disney magic.
