If you’re planning a trip to Disney World this summer, you’re going to want to consider reserving a stay at one of these four resorts!

Disney has some special surprises coming up for guests with little ones staying at select resorts. Let’s take a look at what’s in store this summer!
If you have a Disney World trip planned for this summer, consider staying at one of these four resorts — Disney’s Art of Animation, Disney’s Pop Century, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.

In the summer guests at these four resorts will be able to enjoy even more Disney-themed activities designed for families with kids. These activities will include character visits and an expanded itinerary of things to do with your family throughout your stay at these four resorts.

The character experiences will have set appearance times to help you plan your day. There was a sign up at the Wilderness Lodge stating to be on the lookout for characters in the lobby! Taking place on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, from 2:30 PM to 3:20 PM.

How sweet is it to have some of our favorite Disney characters right there in the resort with us! It’ll also be nice to not have to wait in those longer lines at the park for meet and greets. We don’t know which characters will be out at the resorts, or if the resorts will offer different characters. We’ll be waiting for more news on that.

Another thing we like about staying at these resorts, is it’s easy accessibility to the parks. The Wilderness Lodge is right next door to the Magic Kingdom, they have boats you can ride to the entrance. Pop Century, Art of Animation, and Caribbean Beach Resort are all along the Skyliner path — making it very easy to get to both Hollywood Studios and EPCOT!

If you’re looking for a travel agent to help with your vacation, we recommend our friends at Mouse Fan Travel. They’re experts in the field with over 20 years of vacation planning experience, and they can help take a bunch of the stress out of the entire booking process for you!
These are all the details we have right now, so we aren’t totally sure what else is in store for the expanded itineraries. We’ll be sure to keep an eye out for additional information. In the meantime, make sure to book one of these four resorts and follow us at AllEars to stay up to date on the latest Disney news!
