We recommend staying on property. The perks make it worthwhile, but more importantly it allows you to become fully immersed in the Disney magic. Staying o� property may save money, but is less convenient, less fun, and more stressful.

Quick Service Dining Plan
Consider a Disney Dining plan, especially if you want to have many table service meals. Character dining meals are table service. We �nd that the “Regular” Dining Plan provides the best option for most families.

Advanced Dining Reservations are your restaurant reservations, and they are required for almost any table service restaurants. ADRs can be made up to 180 days in advance of the day you check in to your resort, and for many restaurants it is necessary to make them as soon as that period opens.
ADRs also serve to lock you into your park days. For example, if you make a lunch ADR at a Magic Kingdom restaurant, you won’t want to be in Epcot at lunch time. Likewise, if you had planned to be in Hollywood Studios on Tuesday, but got the Hollywood Studios restaurant ADR on Wednesday, just �ip �op your park plans. Park days are �exible until ADRs are made.
We have customized touring plans for any age group and any trip length at disneybyage.com. Make sure to plan to be in the same parks as your ADRs on the respective days.
Use the day planner in this packet to record your plans

FastPass+ is your ride reservation. When you make a reservation, you will receive an hour long window, during which you can use your FastPass+ to get on a ride with little to no wait.
FassPass+ reservations can be made 60 days in advance of your check in date, if staying at a Disney resort. If you are staying o� property, they can be made 30 days in advance of they day you will be visiting the park.
You can make 3 FastPass+ reservations in advance. After they are used, you can make a fourth. After the fourth is used, you can make a �fth, and so on. We have tons of FastPass+ tips, including how to double your FastPasses at disneybyage.com
