Welcome to planDisney, Carina!
It looks like you're planning a magical vacation for your family! In the words of Miguel from Coco, “We may have our differences, but nothing’s more important than family.” My planDisney friends and I love nothing more than helping fellow Guests have an extraordinary experience at The Most Magical Place on Earth. I firmly believe that Walt Disney World is the perfect place for people of all ages! It's equally enchanting for "big kids" and little kids.
Carina, if you'd like some assistance booking your Disney vacation, let me recommend two options:
Option #1 —
Book Over the PhoneSpeak directly to a Cast Member and they will be able to book accommodation and tickets for you and answer any questions you might have. You can even let them know your budget and they can find something that meets your needs.
Option #2 — Use an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner
There are several no-fee agents who can help you plan your vacation (often even saving you lots of money in the process). The agents know Disney like the back of their hand and can be a great resource in putting together a vacation.
Whatever option you go with, don't hesitate to use as a resource too. If you have a question, you know who to ask! As you seek to make your vacation "practically perfect in every way," let me share some planning tips:
- If your budget allows, stay at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel. With their detailed theming, unique storytelling, and world-class customer service, they really immerse you in the magic. Make sure you become familiar with all the
magical benefits that are available to Guests staying on property. My favorite is the extra time in the theme parks!
- Enjoy a special meal. One of the many benefits of staying on property is the ability to make dining reservations up to 60 days in advance of your trip plus the length of your stay (up to 10 days). Since restaurants fill up quickly, this means that you are far more likely to reserve a table. With so many amazing restaurants to try, you'll be spoilt for choice. If you're looking for a fantastic character dining experience,
Topolinos Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera is my personal favorite.
- Try and visit each of the four theme parks. Each one is delightfully magical in its own way. There are even extra special experiences to enjoy in the
Enchanting Extras Collection.
I hope that's helpful, Carina. Happy planning!
Mike
