Hiya LaTaja, Welcome to planDisney! Thank you for stopping by with your question! How exciting that you'll be moving closer to the magic that is
Walt Disney World Resort! And a Very Merry Unbirthday to your daughter! Your magical vacation will be here before you know it!
My preference to determine cost is using the Build Your Vacation tool at the top of the
Walt Disney World Resort homepage. There you are able to enter your vacation dates, total number of adults and children in your party and you can search all resorts or just one if you have a favorite. You are then able to see the cost per night and can select the package option. The page will then populate the total cost of resort and tickets. Before checking out, you'll be able to select a base ticket or the park hopper option!
Another great option is calling
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations and speaking directly with a Cast Member and they'll be able to go over all your details and get your a final cost.
There are a few things I always keep in mind when planning my family's Walt Disney World Resort vacation; time of year, length of stay, and most importantly which resort we will be staying. The
Value Resort Hotels are more budget friendly than the Disney Deluxe Resort Hotels so I tend to start there. And we can't forget our Moderate Resorts tucked right in the middle!
Another option is purchasing
Walt Disney World Theme Park Tickets only if you aren't staying at a Disney Resort Hotel. I must say though, I thoroughly enjoy all the perks that come with staying at a Disney Resort Hotel. The first is
Early Theme Park Entry for Disney Resort Hotel Guests. Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels and select other hotels can take advantage of a 30-minute early entry into Walt Disney World theme parks every day. Another perk is
complimentary resort transportation! Guests at select Disney Resort hotels can enjoy a wide array of complimentary transportation options at Walt Disney World Resort including bus transportation, the Disney Skyliner and even water transportation!
Be sure to also check out the all the
Special Offers, Deals & Discounts. My family and I have taken advantage of some pretty great deals!
