Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Shelly. I'm so glad you stopped by!
It's super exciting to hear you'll be visiting the
Walt Disney World Resort this Spring. Magic will be blooming all around you! It's even
more exciting to hear you'd like to extend your vacation by an extra day. Wahoo!
If your existing reservation is a vacation package, log in to your
My Disney Experience account. Scroll down to the "My Plans" section of the page. There you'll see your reservation confirmation number and a blue link that says "Change Reservation." You should be able to add the extra day by just clicking that blue link! If your existing reservation is a room-only reservation, you'll need to call the Resort Team at (407) 560-2428. A friendly Cast Member there will be happy to assist you!
My family and I decided to extend our Disney vacation by an extra day a few years ago, and we took that opportunity to book a split-stay. A split-stay allows you to enjoy two (or more)
Disney Resort hotels in a single vacation! We had always wanted to experience a
wild adventure at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, but staying in a Savanna View room for an entire week was out of our budget. In booking just one night, though, we were able to check that dream off our Disney bucket-list! We got to explore the hotel, play at the pool, enjoy incredible food, and wake up to giraffes just outside our balcony. It was magical! We've since always booked split-stays for our Disney vacations. One of the things I love the most about a split-stay is that Bell Services will transfer our luggage from our first hotel to our next. How convenient is that?
Be sure to check out the
Know Before You Go section of the Walt Disney World Resort website before you travel to Orlando. It has lots of important information about the health and safety measures that are being taken in and out of the theme parks!
I hope this was helpful, Shelly. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
