Most people have only been able to get two or three parks reserved as of now.

If you are looking for a list of these requirements, check out our  Height Requirement  article.

From special cavalcades down the Magic Kingdom Park parade route and friends sailing the waterways of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, to processions along the World Showcase promenade at EPCOT and motorcades on Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ Hollywood Boulevard, each area will co
