Hello and welcome to planDisney, Gloria!
I just returned from a visit to Walt Disney World where we celebrated my oldest son’s 10th birthday, so I’m happy to answer this question! There is something extra special about
birthdays at the Walt Disney World Resort and I hope I can help kickstart your trip planning.
First, I’m happy to report that you’re able to purchase a vacation package that would include your theme park tickets AND your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel stay. To get started, you’ll want to visit
THIS PAGE and input your travel dates to view resort availability. With resorts at varying price points and themes, there truly is something for every family’s taste and budget. Once you’ve had a chance to browse through your options, please come on back to planDisney if you need recommendations or have other questions.
Now, Gloria, in order to book your vacation package you’ll need a $200 deposit and then you can
make payments on your vacation,
if you choose to pay over time. If you haven’t already created a
My Disney Experience account, you’ll want to set that up first. Through this account you can view and manage all of your plans including any
advanced dining reservations you might want to make.
Gloria, since you’ll be celebrating your niece’s 15th birthday, make sure to stop by the front desk at arrival and ask a Cast Member for complimentary birthday and celebration buttons. My son was smiling from ear to EAR as so many Cast Members wished him a happy birthday by name!
Gloria, best wishes for a pixie dusted stay. I hope to see you hEAR again with more questions as you continue planning your December getaway.
Lauren
