Walt Disney World Resort | Ironcrest Travel Co

The Crown Jewels

The Four Parks

Each park is a distinct world unto itself, designed to immerse you in a completely different experience.

Magic Kingdom

The iconic castle park is Walt's original dream made grand. Cinderella Castle anchors six themed lands — from the nostalgic Main Street, U.S.A. to the thrills of Tomorrowland and Frontierland. It's the park that defines Disney magic for most visitors and remains the most-attended theme park on Earth.

Must-dos: Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, Festival of Fantasy parade, and the nightly fireworks spectacular over the castle.

EPCOT

EPCOT celebrates human achievement and global culture across four neighborhoods: World Discovery, World Nature, World Celebration, and the beloved World Showcase — a ring of 11 country pavilions where you can tour the globe in a single afternoon. The food and beverage festivals here are legendary.

Must-dos: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, Test Track, and dining across the World Showcase.

Hollywood Studios

The ultimate pop culture theme park houses Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, where you can pilot the Millennium Falcon or battle the First Order on Rise of the Resistance. Toy Story Land brings Woody and Buzz to life at giant scale, and Sunset Boulevard delivers thrill-seekers Tower of Terror and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster.

Must-dos: Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Millennium Falcon, Tower of Terror, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, and the Star Wars nighttime spectacular.

Animal Kingdom

Disney's largest park by acreage combines world-class zoological experiences with immersive storytelling. Pandora – The World of Avatar transports you to the bioluminescent moon with two jaw-dropping attractions, while Africa and Asia deliver real wildlife encounters, thrilling white-water rafting, and the acclaimed Kilimanjaro Safaris.

Must-dos: Avatar Flight of Passage, Na'vi River Journey, Kilimanjaro Safaris, Expedition Everest, and the Rivers of Light evening show.

Culinary Magic

Disney Dining

Walt Disney World is a serious dining destination in its own right. With over 300 dining locations spanning quick-service counters to Michelin-caliber signature restaurants, meals are a central part of the Disney experience — not an afterthought.

The ADR System

Advance Dining Reservations (ADRs) open 60 days before your check-in date for non-resort guests, and 60 days before the start of your stay — plus the length of your trip — for Disney resort guests. The most sought-after restaurants fill up within minutes of opening. Ironcrest monitors your ADR window and books at the right moment.

Character Dining

Character meals combine a full sit-down dining experience with visits from beloved Disney characters. Cinderella's Royal Table inside the castle, Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary, and Topolino's Terrace at Disney's Riviera are favorites. These restaurants book fast — often within hours of their ADR window opening.

Signature Restaurants

Disney's signature dining tier features acclaimed restaurants like Victoria & Albert's (AAA Five Diamond), Narcoossee's on the Seven Seas Lagoon, Flying Fish on the Boardwalk, and Citricos at the Grand Floridian. Reservations require two dining credits under the Disney Dining Plan and are worth planning well in advance.

Ironcrest Dining Tip

We book your ADRs on your behalf the moment your window opens — often at exactly midnight or 6am Eastern. We know which restaurants matter most, which are overrated, and which hidden gems will delight your family without the competition. This service alone saves most guests hours of frustration.

Insider Knowledge

WDW Planning Tips

The difference between a good Disney trip and an extraordinary one often comes down to a handful of strategic decisions.

Book Dining 180 Days Out

Disney resort guests can book dining reservations 180 days before arrival — plus the length of their stay. Book cinderella Royal Table, character breakfasts, and EPCOT's World Showcase restaurants the moment your window opens. Missing this window means missing the best tables.

Arrive at Rope Drop

On-property guests get Early Theme Park Entry — 30 minutes before official opening. Use this window strategetically: head straight for the highest-demand attraction before crowds build. By 10am you can have two marquee experiences under your belt while others are just entering.

Master Genie+ & Lightning Lane

Lightning Lane Multi Pass ($29+/person/day) provides skip-the-line access to most attractions. Lightning Lane Single Pass covers the ultra-premium attractions like Rise of the Resistance and Tron. We'll tell you exactly which to buy, when to book, and how to string your day together efficiently.

Stay On-Property

Beyond Early Entry, Disney resort guests enjoy complimentary transportation via monorail, buses, and boats — eliminating rental cars and parking fees. Charging purchases to your room key, free package delivery to your resort, and the immersive atmosphere are tangible quality-of-life upgrades.

Check the Crowd Calendar

Crowd levels at Walt Disney World vary enormously. School holidays, spring break weeks, and the weeks surrounding major events can triple average wait times. Moving your trip by even a few days can dramatically improve your experience. We analyze crowd data when recommending your travel dates.
