Hi Naomi!
Welcome to planDisney! Planning your Walt Disney World Resort vacation is so exciting, but can sometimes feel a little overwhelming when you are starting out. I'm happy to help as you get started thinking about a vacation package that is right for you and your family!
Through the
Walt Disney World Resort website, you are able to book a vacation package that includes accommodations and tickets, but airfare would need to be booked separately. As a family of 5, we are also always looking for the best deals when planning our Walt Disney World Resort vacation. The best place to start is the
special offers page where you can see all of the latest deals and discounts. These special offers may include packages with room, tickets, and even dining combined, or may be specific discounts just for rooms or tickets. These update periodically so be sure to keep checking back for the latest deals!
When you are booking your Walt Disney World Resort vacation, you'll have many choices in the
Disney Resorts Collection which vary from
Value Resort Hotels to
Deluxe Villa accommodations. If you are looking to maximize your budget, you may want to check out the Value Resort Hotels. I stayed at
Disney's All-Star Movies Resort a few years ago and loved the bright colors and larger-than-life characters that decorated the resort! The main pool featured Sorcerer Mickey and was a great place to unwind. It was the perfect balance of affordability and magic!
Also, did you know you can use Disney Gift Cards to pay for your vacation and purchase food, souvenirs, and more around Walt Disney World Resort? This is one of my favorite ways to budget for our trips as I can spread out the purchase of gift cards over several months and then pay my balance off when it is due. You can even combine the value of your gift cards by visiting the
Disney Gift Cards website to minimize the number of gift cards you are managing!
Naomi, I am sending lots of pixie dust your way as you start planning your Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Please feel free to come back to planDisney with any other questions you may have - we'd love to see you again real soon!
Your pal,
Kristi
