Unfortunately no you will need to purchase of a non-discounted 4-night, 4-day (or longer) package that includes a room at select Disney Resort hotels and a ticket with a Park Hopper option.
We love Port Orleans Riverside, the kids and grandkids both had a great time there! Riverside is a bit spread out but makes a great quiet walk after a day at the parks! We utilized French Quarters pool as well, we hopped on the boat and headed over! You will not be disappointed!!
We have stayed at both, but we stayed in the casitas at Coronado and we loved them, it is a little walk to the main building but it was nice to walk around the resort. We stopped and hung out in the hammocks for a bit! Coronado is one of our favorites now!
It will start Jan 2- Feb 10 with a vacation package with a min of 3 day park hopper tickets on select dates this summer!! It can be a good deal! The package can not be a discounted package.
I love Halloween so I would have to say Halloween but I really enjoyed the Christmas party last year. We had a family reunion there, we opted out of doing a park one day and did the party. A little more but so many other things to see! Including my Mickey Popcorn bucket!!
What is your favorite thing to do at the party? Last year we had a family reunion and my husbands cousins were on the cookie hunt! Lol! We hit every booth! I was also able to grab the Mickey Soldier popcorn bucket!!
We cut back on Magic Kingdom and did the party instead. We were able to get in at 4 and the rides we wanted to ride were open during the party! In my opinion it is very much worth it!! If you need help with tickets please let me know!
