Hi Michelle! You don't want to just book a vacation, you want to book a vacation to the Most Magical Place on Earth!
To book a vacation, you will want to start by thinking about which Disney Resort Hotel you want to "call home" during your vacation! There are so many from which to choose! You can find a Disney Resort Hotel that will fit your budget by selecting from a
value resort,
moderate resort, or
deluxe resort! All of the resorts are themed differently, so be sure to think about the resort style that best fits you! My favorite resorts in each category are: Value - Disney's Art of Animation Resort, Moderate - Disney's Coronado Springs Resort Gran Destino Tower, and Deluxe - Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa!
The next thing you will want to consider is which parks you will want to visit during your vacation to Mickey and Minnie's home! There are four Disney Parks -
Magic Kingdom Park,
EPCOT,
Disney's Hollywood Studios, and
Disney's Animal Kingdom! I recommend you take a look at the website for each individual park to decide which ones you would be most excited to visit! Of course, you can always visit all four parks!
The other important factor to take into account in your initial planning is which
Disney Dining experiences you will want to book! Planning Disney Dining takes some research because there are so many culinary experiences to enjoy throughout the hotels and parks! Some of my favorites are: Be Our Guest Restaurant (dinner), Cape May Cafe (dinner), Topolino's Terrace (breakfast), O'hana (dinner), Yak and Yeti (dinner), and Chef Mickey's (breakfast)! But Michelle, there are so many more from which to choose! It's important to remember that so many Disney Dining experiences are in such high demand that you are able to book an advanced dining reservation 60-days prior to the arrival date of your visit!
So now that we've got you thinking about hotels, parks, and dining, let's get you ready to book! You can visit the
Walt Disney World Resort website to begin booking your magical vacation or you can call (407)-939-5277 and talk to a friendly Cast Member who will help book your resort and theme park tickets!
And, of course, Michelle, you will want to come back to visit planDisney as you begin considering all of the options that await you! My fellow planDisney panelists and I can answer just about any question you have! Happy planning!
Hakuna Matata! Jonathan
