Hi Sarah,
Welcome to planDisney! I am excited to hEAR that you are planning a visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
To keep up with your trip plans, I suggest that you create a
My Disney Experience account. If you go to the vacation package link on the Walt Disney World homepage, you should be able to price out a vacation package with a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel and theme park tickets. From there, you can pay your deposit. Once you get that confirmation number emailed to you, you can link that vacation package to your My Disney Experience account by logging into My Disney Experience, clicking on My Plans and then clicking on Add More Plans and
Link Reservations and Tickets.
If you have a vacation package on a courtesy hold, you should also be able to use that confirmation number to link the package in My Disney Experience and then pay your deposit. If you made the reservation through a travel agency, you may have to pay that deposit through the travel agency.
Looking at the dates of your visit, you will be there during The
Holidays at Walt Disney World Resort. This is my family's favorite time of year to visit! The parks and resorts are so beautifully decorated. Be sure to also stop by Disney Springs. Review the
advanced dining reservation booking windows and make dining reservations as soon as your booking window opens.
Sarah, as you prepare for your visit, keep an eye on the
operational updates since procedures may change. Familiarize yourself with some of the digital tools available in My Disney Experience. We have used
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering,
Mobile Dine Check-in, and
Disney MagicMobile service. These tools have helped us to save so much time on our visits! Get those bags packed and set your countdown to your next
Incredible Disney visit!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
