Hi Katie,
Glad you stopped by today at the
Disney Parks Moms Panel. It looks like your vacation is just around the corner so let me help you out quickly with your question.
I always recommend my friends and family interested in visiting the Resort, to book a
Vacation Package. Not only it includes a stay at a Disney Resort Hotel (and with that come some
incredible benefits), but also your
Theme Park Tickets. And you can even add a
Dining Plan. You even get complimentary transfer on luxury motorcoaches to and from Orlando International Airport with
Disney's Magical Express.
At this time, Vacation Packages do not require any additional fees except for overnight
Parking at the Resort Hotel if you bring your own car. Standard Parking at the Theme Parks is complimentary for Resort Hotel Guests however. If you include a Dining Plan, note that gratuities are not included.
One last tip:
Disney Gift Cards are accepted basically everywhere throughout the Resort. It is a great way to bring in additional money for incidentals. You can also charge for food and merchandise to your Resort hotel account with your complimentary
MagicBand, and then pay off the balance with Disney Gift Cards. See you real soon!
Ricardo.
