Hey Howdy Hey Patricia and welcome to planDisney!
I am so excited to hear you are getting ready to book your vacation to the Most Magical Place on Earth soon. Thank you for stopping by with your question about managing
Special Offers yourself. I will be happy to give you more information on this.
It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that I can inform you that yes, you can still take advantage of Special Offers that may apply to your vacation if you book yourself. Once you do book your vacation package with Disney, it would be beneficial to keep up with Disney Parks on social media or follow along with all the latest news at
Disney Parks Blog which is where you will hear any new Special Offers that may be released from Disney. The big thing would be to check on the specific offer details to ensure it does apply to your specific vacation package. As long as it does, you are set to move on to the next step.
As long as the details are right, you are more than welcome to rebook your vacation online through your
My Disney Experience account. Once you log in, look under the "My Plans" section. You should see your reservation and to the right of the screen should be a link to "Modify Reservation" which you will click on. You will be able to move through the steps to book the same exact room and tickets you currently have however under the Disney Resorts Collection section, you should see an option to select the Special Offer you want to apply to your vacation. Click on that and continue with your room selection and Theme Park Tickets. After completing those steps, you should then see a screen summarizing your potential changes with the new discount applied and a new total. As long as everything looks right, you are all set to confirm the changes which will update your reservation.
The other option you have is to
call Disney. If you call Disney, you can speak to a Cast Member and let them know you have a reservation and want to apply the new offer to your reservation. As long as availability is there, they should be able to get this change done for you as well.
Either way, make sure you get this done sooner rather than later when you hear about a special offer. These offers typically have certain allotments for resort types and amounts and once those allotments are met, they may not be available.
I hope this information helped know the steps to getting special offers applied to your vacation if you book yourself. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach back out and let us know, we are always happy to help!
Have a Magical day,
Nick
