Disney Park Days

If you plan Disney trips, you know the drill — dining reservations at 6am, Lightning Lane strategy sessions, and clients asking "did you book Be Our Guest?" for the third time. The Park Day block in the itinerary builder keeps all of that organized in one place, so nothing falls through the cracks between your MDE prep and the actual trip.

Creating a Park Day

In the itinerary builder, click Add Block and select Park Day. Choose from the four Walt Disney World parks:

• Magic Kingdom
• EPCOT
• Hollywood Studios
• Animal Kingdom

Once you've selected the park, toggle Park Reservation Confirmed when you've locked in the reservation. This gives you and your clients a clear visual of what's confirmed vs. what's still pending.

Dining Reservations

Each park day gives you three meal slots — Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. For each reservation, you can fill in:

• Restaurant name — which dining location
• Reservation time — when the reservation is for
• Party size — defaults to 2, adjust to match your client's group
• Confirmation number — the ADR confirmation from Disney
• Dietary notes — allergies, preferences, or special requests

This is where having everything in one place really pays off. When your client calls and asks "what time is our lunch at Ohana?", you don't have to dig through emails — it's right there on the park day.

Lightning Lane Selections

Plan out your client's Lightning Lane strategy for each park day. For each selection, track:

• Ride/attraction name — which ride they're hitting
• Scheduled time — their return window
• Type — Multi Pass selections

Add as many selections as you need. For families doing a full park day, you might have 3-5 Lightning Lane selections mapped out with times that work around their dining reservations.

Special Events

Disney has a rotating lineup of ticketed events — After Hours, holiday parties, special character experiences. Track these on the park day with:

• Event name — which event they're attending
• Confirmation number — the booking reference

This keeps special events visible right alongside the rest of the day's plan, so your clients know exactly what their evening looks like after the regular park hours end.

Calendar Export

Here's a feature your clients will love: click the calendar export button on any park day to download an .ics file with all their reservations and Lightning Lane times. They can import it into their phone calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook.

The export auto-populates the event title, date, time, location, and a description — so your client walks into Magic Kingdom with every reservation right on their phone. No more digging through emails or screenshots.

Planning Milestones

Disney trips have a unique planning timeline with specific windows for different tasks. The milestone checklist helps you track progress through the key phases:

• MDE Setup — My Disney Experience accounts created and linked
• ADR Prep — dining reservation strategy ready before the booking window opens
• Park Reservations — all park days reserved
• Lightning Lane Strategy — ride priorities and return times planned
• Final Payment — trip fully paid

Each milestone records who completed it and when, so if you're working with a team or co-planning with the client, everyone can see what's done and what's still outstanding.

What Clients See

Park days display beautifully on the client-facing proposal and portal. Your clients get a clear view of:

• Park name and date
• All dining reservations with times and restaurants
• Lightning Lane selections with return windows
• Special events
• A clean, day-by-day breakdown of their entire Disney visit

It's the kind of detail that makes clients feel taken care of — and makes them refer their friends to you.

Tips

• Build your park day blocks early, even before ADRs open. Map out which parks on which days and what restaurants you're targeting. When the booking window opens, you'll be ready to execute instead of scrambling.
• Use dietary notes proactively. Even if your client hasn't mentioned allergies, ask. Disney is great about accommodations, but you need to know before you book.
• Save your best park day plans to the library. If you build a killer Magic Kingdom day with perfectly timed Lightning Lanes and great dining, save it as a template. Customize it for the next family instead of starting over.
• Export calendars right before the trip. Send the .ics file as part of your final documents package so everything is fresh and confirmed.
• For group Disney trips, build the park day itinerary once on the primary trip and share it across all families using Groups. Each family keeps their own individual dining confirmations and payments.

FAQ

Can I plan park days for Universal or other theme parks? The Park Day block is specifically designed for Walt Disney World's four parks. For other theme parks, use the Activity or Custom block type — you can still add all the details, just without the Disney-specific structure.

Do milestone completions sync across team members? Yes. When anyone on your team marks a milestone as complete, it updates for everyone — including a timestamp and the name of who completed it.

What if my client changes parks on a specific day? Just update the park selection on the block. All the other details (dining, Lightning Lane) stay in place so you can adjust them as needed rather than rebuilding from scratch.
