Hi Heather!
Welcome to planDisney.
Using the skills of an Authorised Disney Vacation Planner, located in the US or Canada, can be so helpful! They will offer their services by giving you complimentary quotes of room rates, purchasing park tickets, Disney dining plans, and tickets for special events, among many other things. It must be stressed that you use an
authorised Disney vacation planner because there are many travel agents out there who are not authorised by Disney.
My friend and planDisney panelist Ashley gave this detailed answer to assist with finding an authorised planner.
Meanwhile, please use all the available planning tools provided here at planDisney. We have an extensive selection of videos in our
planDisney Video Library, all offering advice from our panelists about everything from the Disney dining plans to using technology at Disney, and details about thrill rides. You are also welcome to submit your questions to us for a personalised answer to help you with planning your perfect vacation to Walt Disney World.
The official website also offers lots of information about Disney Resort hotels, special events, tickets, and the four theme parks and two water parks. You'll also find printable maps of the theme parks here:
Magic Kingdom Park,
EPCOT,
Disney's Hollywood Studios,
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park.
Please come back and visit us again with all your questions. We will be happy to help you plan your magical vacation!
