Hello there, Colin!
Welcome to planDisney and I'm so happy to see you here! Congrats on commencing the beginning stages of planning your daughter's birthday trip to the Happiest Place on Earth! Does she already know about it or are you going to surprise her? Some of the most heartwarming videos I've seen are parents surprising their children with a Disney trip!
I love the fact that you are going to be using your
Disney Rewards Visa Card along with all of its benefits for your trip. I spoke to a representative at Disney Rewards Visa and they informed me that the packages and benefits that you are offered will be the same whether you book online or call in to speak to a representative. So in the end, you get to choose how you book your vacation!
At the time of this writing, I see no overall discount offered for
Disneyland Resort Vacation Packages. However, as a Disney Visa cardmember, you get a promotional APR of 0% for 6 months on Packages purchased using your card and other
benefits such as an exclusive insulated cooler bag, discounts throughout the Resort (don't forget to show your card at participating merchandise and dining locations), and a pin/lanyard set. There's still plenty of time before your trip, so I would recommend that you keep checking for any
perks that might be added before you leave!
Don't forget to request your
Disney Rewards Redemption Card before your trip! Packages for the following year are often released towards the end of summer of the previous year, usually in the latter half of August. Also, be on the lookout for deals involving Disney Gift Cards! I've known several people who have saved money on their trip by taking full advantage of deals on Disney Gift Cards, which may then be consolidated at
disneygiftcard.com.
Colin, I hope that was helpful for you and that you have a great time planning your daughter's birthday! I would love to help you continue planning your vacation, so please feel free to write back to
me or any of my pals at planDisney! I'm sure your daughter is going to be absolutely THRILLED with her birthday trip!
Have a Magical Day!
