3 things you can do right now

  • urgent
    ADR window opens May 27 at 6 AM ETBe logged into My Disney Experience at 5:55 AM ET on May 27. Book Cinderella's Royal Table breakfast for the second MK day (July 31) — it's Ara's character meal anchor and the hardest reservation of the trip. Backup: Chef Mickey's at Contemporary.
  • upcoming
    LLMP pre-book opens July 19 at 7 AM ETAs Coronado Springs guests you get the 7-day window. Pre-book Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Peter Pan's Flight, and Jungle Cruise for the July 27 MK day — all three are Ara-friendly and stand-by hell by 10 AM.
  • upcoming
    Rider Switch primer — Ara is 42"Ara clears Big Thunder, Seven Dwarfs, and Slinky Dog but not Space Mountain, Tron, Avatar Flight of Passage, or Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. Since you're solo-parenting, ask a Cast Member at each headliner about Rider Switch — you'll need a second adult or to skip these. Plan accordingly.
