Howdy, Stephanie! Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney!
Planning a Disneyland Resort vacation is a ton of fun, but it's always important to budget appropriately. My best suggestion is to book a
vacation package. With a package, you can combine your theme park tickets, hotel reservation, and airport transportation or a rental car into one transaction. If you are more than 30 days out from your arrival date, you only have to pay a deposit at the time of booking. Then, you can make payments in any amount and at any time as long as your package is paid in-full 30 days before you arrive.
Vacation packages are currently available to book through the end of 2022. So you can book your trip for a year from now and make payments over time. Vacation packages are available at the three Disneyland Resort Hotels and at a variety of
Good Neighbor Hotels nearby.
Keep in mind that
theme park reservations are required for each day you want to visit the parks. These reservations can be made up to 120 days in advance, so if you are booking a vacation package for sometime later next year, you will have to wait a bit to make theme park reservations. When your 120-day window opens, you will use your vacation package confirmation number to make theme park reservations.
If you have any other questions as you plan your adventure to the Happiest Place on Earth, be sure to stop by planDisney again!
