Hey there, Traci, and welcome to planDisney! I hope you're having a wonderful day. It looks like you're getting ready to start planning your vacation to The Most Magical Place on Earth, my favorite part of any trip! I love putting together all the little details that make for an unforgettable experience.
When booking my
Walt Disney World Resort vacation package, I like to get started as early as possible. Great news! Vacation packages are already available to book for May 2026! I suggest logging into your
My Disney Experience account, hovering over “Places to Stay,” and clicking “
View Special Offers.” That's where you'll see all the amazing deals for your upcoming stay. This summer, there are some incredible offers for Guests. One to look for: “
Get 2 Free Nights and Theme Park Days Added When You Purchase a Select Room-and-Ticket Package.” Two free nights added to your stay sounds like pure pixie dust to me! I highly recommend reviewing all the current offers. It's always nice to save some money while enjoying your trip.
Next, check out the list of Disney Resort hotels and make a short list of the ones you'd love to stay at. With popular offers, some Disney Resort hotels can sell out quickly, so it's good to have a backup plan ready.
There are so many other wonderful offerings, like the
Disney Dining Plan, which offers an all-inclusive dining experience. Both dining options are fantastic! Once you've selected your details, you'll be directed to a final screen where you can secure your booking with a deposit. I absolutely love that you don't have to pay the full amount up front; it's so convenient to spread your payments out. When your booking is complete, you'll receive a confirmation email with your confirmation number. I recommend keeping an eye on those special offers even after booking; new deals can pop up, and it's easy to
call Disney and adjust your reservation if you find a better offer.
Traci, I hope this has helped, and more than anything, if you have more questions, it would be our honor to help you along the way.
Your personal planning companion,
Michelle
