Disney Around The World ~ Guide For Families

We are, first and foremost, travel addicts. We’ve visited over 48 countries around the world with our five kids and spent tens of thousands of dollars on memory-making. We’ve spent a significant amount of that money on Disney Parks worldwide. Once we decided to travel around the globe, visiting every Disney Park soon became a goal.

 

We achieved this goal in 2019 and continue to crave going to Disney. It’s perplexing why we still want to go and drop serious cash on these theme parks. Our travel wishlist continues to grow each year (instead of shrinking as we might have hoped once upon a time), and we continue to factor a Disney trip into each year of our travels.


What are Disney Parks like around the world? Is it strange to visit a park in another language? Disney parks are magical destinations that bring dreams to life for families across the globe. Each park offers a unique blend of classic Disney charm and local cultural influences. Let me share our review of each park and the experience of a foreign Disney lover.

Travel Costs For Your Family

We’ve found that with a bit of savvy planning, you can often find ways to trim these costs without sacrificing the magic. Whether you’re pinching pennies or splurging on a once-in-a-lifetime trip, the key is to focus on creating those priceless family memories!

Remember, these numbers are estimates and can vary widely based on your travel style, the season, and any promotions Disney might be running.

Prices in USD**

Where To Stay With Kids

  • Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort: Ahoy, mateys!  Think pirate-themed rooms, splash areas, and a pool that’ll make your kiddos think they’ve discovered buried treasure. Pro tip: The Skyliner access is a game-changer for park-hopping!
  • Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa: Fancy-schmancy alert!  But don’t worry, it’s still Mickey-approved fun. Stunning pools, boat rides to Magic Kingdom, and character dining that’ll make your Instagram followers green with envy. Bonus: Parents, treat yourselves to that spa day. You’ve earned it!
  • Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge: Wild doesn’t begin to cover it!  Wake up to giraffes outside your window (for real!), dive into African-inspired pools, and let the kids go crazy at the Hakuna Matata playground. Fair warning: Your little ones might start speaking in Lion King quotes!

 

Off-Site Gems That’ll Make You Feel Like Disney Royalty 

 

  • Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek: Lake views, lazy rivers, and s’mores by the fire pit? Yes, please! This resort is so close to Disney, you can practically hear Mickey laughing. Perfect for families who want a breather from the park madness without sacrificing the magic.
  • Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek : Swanky digs alert! With a golf course, spa, and a pool complex that’ll make your kids forget about Splash Mountain. Plus, free Disney shuttles mean more cash for Mickey ears. Win-win!

Pro Tip: Remember, Walt Disney World is huge, and it’s impossible to do everything in one trip. Focus on creating magical memories with your family rather than trying to see and do it all. Some of our best moments have been unplanned – like our youngest’s face lighting up when she first saw Cinderella’s Castle, or our oldest conquering his fear on Tower of Terror. These are the moments that make Disney truly special for families

How To Keep Your Family Safe In Disney

  1. Matching T-shirts aren’t just cute – they’re practical! Makes spotting your crew in crowds easier than finding Nemo!
  2. Snap a pic of your kiddos each morning. Quick way to remember what they’re wearing if they decide to play hide and seek.
  3. Teach your little ones about Cast Members. Show them the name tags – these are the good guys if they get lost!
  4. Set a meeting spot in each land. Pick something unmissable, like Cinderella’s Castle or that giant Sorcerer’s Hat.
  5. Use waterproof ID bracelets. Write your contact info – perfect for non-verbal kids or in countries where you don’t speak the language.
  6. Stay hydrated like it’s your job. Disney days are marathons, not sprints. Free water at quick-service spots!
  7. Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen. Reapply often – nobody wants a Lobster Mickey!
  8. Hand sanitizer is your new best friend. Use it more often than you pose for PhotoPass pics.
  9. Know the height requirements. Measure kids before you go to avoid disappointment (and tantrums).
  10. Use Disney’s apps for wait times and maps. Less time lost means less chance of losing someone.
  11. Establish a bathroom buddy system. Nobody gets left behind, not even for a potty break!
  12. Be vigilant on rides. Keep those hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times!

Top 8 Pro Tips for Families Visiting Disney Parks

  1. Stay on-site if you can: The Disney hotels are part of the experience, and the extra magic hours are a huge perk.
  2. Use the Disney Genie+ system: It replaced the old FastPass system and can save you hours of queuing.
  3. Take advantage of character dining: It’s a great way to meet characters without long lines. Our kids love Chef Mickey’s!
  4. Plan for rest days: With so much to see and do, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. We always schedule a pool day mid-trip.
  5. Use the Disney transportation system: It’s free, efficient, and adds to the magical experience.
  6. Pack snacks and water bottles: You can bring these into the parks, saving money and meltdowns!
  7. Make use of the rider switch: Great for families with kids of different ages/heights.

Download the My Disney Experience app: It’s a lifesaver for wait times, mobile ordering, and navigating the parks.
