    We are going to Disney Feb 8-14, 2018. I know the packages are not open to book yet, however do you advise booking rooms only then modifying it or waiting until the packages open?

    Dear Maria,

    Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question about booking for 2018! I am also someone who likes to plan ahead, so I understand totally your interest in getting started with your booking.

    In my mind, there is really no reason not to book your rooms now and then check back for package availability as it opens up closer to your dates. I also recommend looking for discounts as the dates get closer as well. The earlier that you book, the better chance that you have of getting the dates that you are interested in we move closer. Plus, you can start to pay for your Walt Disney World Resort vacation as soon as you book your room. That always helps me too, as I like to have everything pre-paid so that I can really relax and enjoy my vacation without worrying about later bills!

    Moms Panel tip - Once your reservation is booked, you can start to plan using the My Disney Experience app either on your phone or your computer.

    Have a magical time planning your Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
