Hello there, Leigh!
Welcome to
planDisney, and thanks for sending us your question about the
Disneyland Resort. I’m thrilled to hear you’re planning a visit to the Happiest Place on Earth this summer!
There are benefits to purchasing a complete
vacation package from the Walt Disney Travel Company, including the ability to make payments after an initial deposit and pay off your trip gradually, which can be a helpful budgeting tool. Packages also currently include a Magical Extras Savings Card that offers discounts at select dining and merchandise locations in the
Downtown Disney District, in addition to a collectible Disney pin and lanyard set for each person in your party.
Disneyland Resort vacation packages can add convenience since you make one booking for everything you need at once, but they are certainly not a requirement. Packages are not typically any less expensive than buying the components of your trip separately, and they can actually cost a bit more than booking your
hotel room and
theme park tickets separately. You should be able to cancel and re-book your hotel stay in order to bundle it with a new set of tickets as a package if you wish, but the tickets you already purchased cannot be cancelled or refunded as those transactions are final.
I hope this answers your question, Leigh, and that your upcoming vacation is filled with pixie-dusted moments from start to finish! Please
write back with any other questions you may have.
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
