Trivago Walt Disney World (2024)

FAQs

How many days in Disney World is enough? ›

To make the most of your Walt Disney World vacation, it's generally recommended to book at least four days, allowing for a full day in each of the four theme parks. However, it's important to note that even with four days, it's unlikely you will experience everything you want or the parks have to offer.

2 Day Disney World Itinerary

You will be able to see 2-3 parks, ride a ton of the most popular attractions, and eat a ton of great Disney food. However, you aren't going to be able to see everything in Disney World in 2 days. The parks are too big and too spread out to visit all four in two days.

Our complimentary network of buses, boats and monorails can transport you between Disney Resort hotels, theme parks, water parks and shopping venues.

I would recommend spending at least one day per park to get a full experience at Walt Disney World. There are 4 theme parks, so you would need to plan for at least 4 days. I also recommend a break day in between to rest up at the hotel.

Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays tend to be slightly less crowded year-round. July and August can sometimes be good times, MagicGuides said, if you can handle the heat, but overall the summer is full of vacationing Disney fans. You also want to generally avoid times when kids are out of school.

Typically, the period from January through mid-February is the most inexpensive time to visit Disney World throughout the year. This season comes after the holidays, which brings a quieter atmosphere and cooler weather. Additionally, you can save a lot on hotels and park tickets during these months.

You must park hop. This is a given if you intend to finish 4 parks in 2 days. If you are an annual passholder, this is included in your pass.

Basically the above two answers tell you that in most cases we think the two parks you should visit are Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom, which is to say we think you should skip Animal Kingdom and Epcot on a two day, no hopping trip.

Yes. All Guests have complimentary access to our network of monorails, buses and boats. If you would like to visit multiple parks, enjoy a nice dinner at one of the Disney Resort hotels or shop at Disney Springs, you can leave your car parked in the theme park lot and use our transportation network.

Can you ride Disney monorail for free? ›

Yes! The Walt Disney World monorail is completely free and is open for any guest to ride without a ticket. Just know that you may have to pay for parking if you're looking to park and ride.

The Walt Disney World Resort no longer provides Guest transportation from the airport to the resort. The former service, known as Disney's Magical Express, was discontinued a few years ago. Guests are now welcome to select a mode of transportation that is most convenient for them.

If you're into rides more than general theme park merriment and atmosphere, we suggest skipping Epcot, as it doesn't offer as many thrills. However, families, foodies and world's fair enthusiasts will likely enjoy their time at this concept park. Featured image courtesy of Walt Disney World.

If we're being honest, the best way to spend any one single day at Walt Disney World is to spend the whole day at Magic Kingdom.

EPCOT is full of rides (mostly in the Spaceship Earth half of the park), shows, entertainment, and dining (mostly in the World Showcase half of the park). A complete tour of the entire park takes a full day, but you could spend much more time exploring everything EPCOT has to offer.

Our standard recommendation for a Walt Disney World trip is four full days, one day in each park. But three days is a good amount, too, and we take pretty frequent three-day visits as well.

6 or 7 days is the ideal length for a Disney World vacation.

You WILL feel rushed if you try to fit all four theme parks into 4 or 5 days.

In fact, the average length of stay at Walt Disney World Resort is six days. According to various experts, a six- to seven-day visit will give you ample time to visit at least three Disney theme parks, as well as Universal Orlando and/or SeaWorld Orlando if you so choose.

The deciding factor for how long to stay at Walt Disney World is your budget. The most common duration is 2-weeks, but some people do opt for just one week. If budget is the primary factor, see our Walt Disney World Staying Onsite Vs Offsite article.
