[sara969]

Hello everyone
I have only been to Disneyland Paris and i know that DLP have various themes eg:Mickeys magical party, Xmas, Halloween etc...

What is usually the Theme around April time in Disney World?
Are there any special attractions / Shows around April time??

Are there fireworks in April, if so where and what time??

How many Parades are there during there day, what are they and where?

Im so sorry about all the questions, i really dont have a clue and i would love to go prepared for the holiday. Lots of planning to do

As far as I recall Epcot has the Flower and Garden Festival in April.
Epcot, MK and HS all have firework displays on and you would be able to see one every night if you wished. MK does Wishes, Epcot IllumiNations and HS Fantasmic.
MK, HS and AK have parades during the day. These tend to change from year to year but MK is normally around 3pm - they also have the Spectromagic before Wishes at around 8pm. This year they have also had the Move It, Shake It parade - plus another I think but can't remember what that was.
AK has a parade - again I think it is about 4 or 5pm.

If you go on the Disney site there are links to all the parks and it gives detailed run downs as to what each one offers throughout the day

Thank you so much for the info, it sounds great cant wait!!
I have absolutely no idea about WDW so i think the best thing is to have a good read on the website

Im off to the website to do some reading

MK = Magic Kingdom
DHS = Disney's Hollywood Studios
AK = Animal Kingdom

there's actually a page somewhere on this site with all the abbreviations.
i'll see if i can find it...

more:
AKL = animal kingdom lodge (one of the disney onsite resorts)
GL = grand floridian (another disney resort)
POR = port orleans riverside (yet another disney resort)
CB = caribean beach (and yet another disney resort)
OKW = Old Key West (and yet another disney reort)

i could go on all day, but i'll see if i can find that link..

I would also recommend reading some of the trip reports from Diser's that have been this year around the dates that you are planning on going next year - that would give you a good insight into what to expect.
