Hello Annmarie!
There is a Disney Vacation to fit every family and every budget! It sounds like a
Walt Disney World Vacation Package might be a good choice for you. Packages must include a stay at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel and theme park tickets. If you’d like, you can add one of the three Disney Dining Plan options to your package as well.
The best place to start is to choose which of the many
Walt Disney World Resort Hotels you'd like to stay at. Value Resorts offer world-class Disney service and over-the-top theming on a budget. Moderate Resorts have table service dining and lounges, more elaborate pools and more space. With Disney’s Deluxe Resorts you’ll find world-class dining, large rooms, along with more deluxe amenities and recreation options. Looking for a more homelike room? Disney's Deluxe Villas offer kitchens or kitchenettes, multi-room suites, and even washers and dryers!
It’s important to know that when it comes to
theme park tickets, the longer you stay, the less you pay per day! I always recommend to friends that they should take a few extra days to enjoy the parks, rather than try to cram it all in. You can even add a
Park Hopper Option to your ticket that allows you to visit more than one park in a single day!
Finally, the
Disney Dining Plan can be a great way to pre-pay for your meals and snacks! There are three options to choose from depending on how your family prefers to dine. When in doubt, I recommend the standard Disney Dining Plan that offers one quick service, one table service and 2 snacks per person, per night stay. You’ll have plenty of credits to enjoy all the amazing snacks or enjoy a character meal.
If you’d like to have a night out on your own, Disney recommends the independent service called
Kid's Nite Out. This might be the perfect option for an evening out for mom and dad! Babysitters will come to your Walt Disney World Resort Hotel room to stay with children and even provide arts and crafts or games when age appropriate.
I hope this information is helpful, Annmarie. I hope you’ll come back and visit us with more questions as you plan your visit!
Happy Planning!
