12 Magical Resources to Help you Plan your Family's Disney world VacationA child always dreams of going to Disney World.. Here are some things you can do at Disney World.Have dessert with your fireworks


One hour prior to the fireworks starting at Magic Kingdom, there is a Wishes Fireworks Dessert Party that is held at Tomorrowland Terrace. There is a self-service buffet of desserts and beverages and a great view of the fireworks from this location.Some people complain that viewing was difficult because people rushed to the front of the area once fireworks began. Our family didn't run into that issue when we did it.Watch an outdoor movie


All of the Disney resorts have outdoor movies in the evenings, with many of them being pool-side using blow-up screens. Some resorts even include a dance party or campfire as part of the festivities.Have family pics taken
