Hello Louise, and welcome to planDisney! We're so glad you are here, and I'm so excited that you're beginning to plan a magical vacation for your family!
I did visit your local
Disneyland Resort website, and it does advise you to book through a local travel agent. That will definitely be the best route for you, and I'm sure your agent will be able to share some great tips and ways for you to get the most out of your vacation while you travel over to the States!
You are also able to
contact the Disneyland Resort directly Louise, and you could speak to someone about booking a
Disneyland Resort Hotel Package, the
Disneyland Hotel is absolutely magical! A helpful Cast Member will also be able to help answer any other questions you have for your upcoming trip, and you are able to
contact them via email as well if it is more convenient for you.
Since you will be visiting during July, I do highly recommend building in a non-park day for the family to rest and recharge, and we always love to spend a leisurely day at our resort pool on a day off from the theme parks. You can also do some shopping at the
Downtown Disney District, that way you can take your souvenirs right back to your hotel room and not have to carry them around the parks.
I hope this information was helpful for you Louise, and please do not hesitate to
send me any other questions as you continue to plan your trip!
Have a magical day!
Melissa
