Hey there, Katie.
Welcome to planDisney! We're so glad you stopped by. My husband is also participating in the
Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend. As Florida residents, we're looking forward to taking advantage of the Disney Resort hotel discount, so I'm extra excited to help with your question!
I was so excited to finally get him signed up for this highly sought-after event that I booked a room right away. We plan on making it a fun weekend trip! Right now, I just have my resort reservation, but I'm keeping an eye on
special offers. If they become available, I’ll add the discount to my current reservation. I like to book a room in advance, and when I see an offer that matches my dates, I
call Disney, and a friendly Cast Member can easily apply the special to my reservation.
Although I can't say for certain, if discounts become available, it will be about six months before your arrival date, so I recommend checking the
official Disney website periodically to snag them as soon as possible, especially if you have your eye on a specific Disney resort hotel. I love all the
perks of being an on-site Guest, like
complimentary transportation and
Early Theme Park Entry. I take advantage of these every time I stay on site!
Even as a Floridian, I love a good stay at a Disney Resort hotel. It truly feels like you're surrounded by the magic of Walt Disney World from the moment you wake up to the moment you rest your head on those super comfy pillows at night. It's always a magical experience!
Be sure to check out the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival while you're there! I love grabbing food and drinks around the World Showcase. Once menus are released, be sure to research which items you're interested in. This helps with getting overwhelmed by all the amazing options. And don't forget to try
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, it's a favorite of mine! If you can, ask for the front row for an even more thrilling experience.
Katie, once again, thank you so much for stopping by to see us. Good luck with your race, it's been a pleasure helping you!
Your personal planning companion,
Michelle
