Welcome to planDisney, Kyle! It looks like you're heading to the magic in just a few short days, so let's jump right into your question so you'll be ready to have the best time at the Most Magical Place on Earth!
Kyle, booking a
vacation package on the
Walt Disney World Resort website is my preferred method; this offers guests the option to bundle a
Disney Resort hotel stay with
theme park tickets and even add a
Disney dining plan! I like the convenience of having all my options in one place and keeping all of my plans and vacation details together. It also allows you to pay for all items at once, streamlining your planning and budgeting!
Because you are so close to your arrival date, you may find limited availability as you search online; in some cases, I find that searching for a specific Disney Resort hotel finds availability more often than searching for all hotels at once. If you cannot find availability at the resort you have in mind, you can also
call the helpful Cast Members to make a new reservation; they will be able to walk you through the process, check for resort availability, and add your theme park tickets, dining plans, and even Memory Maker to your vacation package over the phone.
If you're looking for a Disney Resort hotel recommendation, I'm happy to share my favorites in each budget category:
- Value: Disney's All-Star Movies Resort for the fun theming and family-friendly vibe.
- Moderate: Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter - the New Orleans theme makes this Louisiana girl so happy (almost as happy as the Sassagoula River Cruise transportation to Disney Springs and the Mickey-shaped beignets!) I also love the smaller footprint of this resort compared to the other moderate resorts; it makes it more accessible and easier to get around!
- Deluxe: Disney's Contemporary Resort for the proximity to Magic Kingdom Park and the ease of the Disney Monorail that glides right through the resort itself!
Kyle, I'm always a fan of saving money when I can, so before I let you go, I'd love to mention that there is a current
Special Offer for fall visits that you may be able to apply to your new reservation. Be sure to read the details and eligible dates to see if the offer is available for your stay!
I hope this helps, Kyle, and I hope you have the best time celebrating the magic of
Halloween on your visit! If you have any other questions before your arrival, come on back to
planDisney and let us know! We're all ears!
See you real soon,
Alison
