20 Best Disney Experiences For The Whole Family

3. Celebrate the holidays in the parks

Nothing can compare to spending the holidays with family and loved ones, except when it’s spending the holidays with family and loved ones at a Disney World. Two of the most popular celebrations to enjoy come in the form of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Both events take place on select nights in the Magic Kingdom as special ticketed events packed with family fun and entertainment. You will also find the other parks getting into the spirit of the season as well with various other special events and unique décor.

2. Disney Springs

Consider taking the family on a day trip to Disney Springs for a host of other extras to experience. Indulge in delicious dining and discover unique specialty shopping venues, like the LEGO® Store, Disney Design-A-Tee, and Build-A-Dino® by Build-A-Bear®, to name a few. And Disney Springs even boasts a wide range of awesome attractions as well, like the Marketplace Train Express and Carousel, Aerophile hot air balloon ascents, and Vintage Amphicar & Italian Water Taxi Tours. More entertainment can be found at various live music and performance venues around town. The AMC Movie Theater is perfect for families who want to take in a current film release.

1. Disney Cruise/Disney World combo package

Disney Cruise Lines also offer a whole host of fun amenities and exciting exclusives to experience as a family. And did you know that you can even enjoy both a Disney Cruise as well as time spent at Walt Disney World Resort in the same vacation? With one of the Land and Sea Vacations Packages by Disney you can conveniently combine both experiences, with Port Canaveral, the site for select departing and arriving Disney Cruise Lines being in such close proximity to Disney World. So get ready to set sail with Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, or Disney Wonder and experience an abundance of activities and endeavors along the way.  Then the fun and adventure continue with the full-fledged Disney World experience. Or you can do the reverse by starting on land and then unwinding on the sea.  

There are countless other Disney experiences perfect for the entire family to share in together. Beyond Disney World you’ll find a range of possibilities at California’s Disneyland Park, Hawaii’s Aulani Resort, and across the globe with international experiences through Adventures By Disney. Wherever you go and whatever you do, Disney experiences were made for families.
