This page gives you an overview of all the things that need to be sorted before you depart on your Disney World holiday. Each section will have a link that will take you to a page with more information on that subject.

ESTA & Passport


Hopefully you took our advice and completed your ESTA's before you booked your holiday. There is a myth you need 6 months left after your return date on your passport to travel to the USA but this is not true. However when it does expire you will need a new ESTA if (when) you want to go again.

My Disney Experience


After you have made your Disney World booking(s), you will be able to build your My Disney Experience. Create a Disney account, enter your booking details and link them to your Disney account. Click here to see our full article on My Disney Experience.

Advanced Passenger Information


As well as your ESTA, you must submit your passport information to your airline. Click here to see our full article on Advanced Passenger Information.

Choose Flight Seats


If you have paid to choose your flight seats, get them booked. Click here to see our full article on flight Information.

Currency Choices


Start thinking about your spending money. Click here to see our full article on currency choices.

Book Disney Restaurants


One of my most favourite pre-holiday activities is booking my Disney restaurants. You can (and should) do this 180 days before your arrival date. Click here to see our full article on booking Disney restaurants.

Fastpass+ Bookings


60 days before booking (or 30 days if not staying in a Disney hotel) you can book your Fastpass+. Click here to see our full article on Fastpass+ bookings.

Airport Parking + Hotels


Do you need to arrange hotel stays (in this country) and airport parking? Click here to see our full article on airport parking and extras.
