Hiya, Natasha! Thanks for coming to visit us here at
planDisney.
When you book a
Walt Disney World vacation, there are a couple of ways you can go. You can book just a room at one of the
Disney Resorts Collection hotels. When you book just a room, you don't have theme park passes included, however, you do get complimentary transportation throughout the Walt Disney World resort area - like between your resort and the theme parks; you get free parking at all of the theme parks; resort guests can take advantage of
Early Theme Park Entry, and some resort guests will have
Extended Evening Hours.
The other way to book a vacation is to do a package. The packages include all of the stuff you get with a resort room reservation, but a package would include
theme park tickets.
Natasha, there are sometimes some pretty awesome
Special Offers, Deals, and Discounts available. and you might luck into a room discount or a package discount that makes purchasing tickets more budget-friendly. Although you're traveling at probably the busiest time of the year at Walt Disney World, it can't hurt to keep checking back for deals.
I hope you get to enjoy some of the incredible holiday offerings throughout Walt Disney World during your stay. The
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is my favorite - I do love the cookie stroll - but you'll find beautiful decorations throughout the resort. Enjoy them!
Anna
