Hi Heather, and welcome to planDisney! I am so excited that you want to begin planning a vacation to the Most Magical Place on Earth! You have come to the right place, and I will be more than happy to help you begin this magical journey!
I see that you want to schedule an arrival date for January of next year. So exciting! It is a wonderful time to visit, the excitement from the holiday season has dwindled down, and with the new ushers in a wonderful time at Disney's EPCOT Park,
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! It is such a neat time to go see Disney artists bringing their ideas to life through art, eating some of the best cuisine curated by the amazing culinary team at EPCOT, and being a part of the celebration by viewing some incredible performing artists on stage. You definitely do not want to miss it!
Heather you can begin booking your trip TODAY! We've got ears, say chEARS! I recommend calling a Cast Member at the
Disney Resort Reservations Hotel Desk at (407) 939-1930. They will be more than happy to book your dream resort and assist you with park tickets. I definitely recommend 2 days at EPCOT, 2 days at Disney's Magic Kingdom Park, and 1 day for Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom, so that you can soak up as much magic as you can while you're there.
Heather, I hope my recommendations help you today! If you have questions at any other time, please ask me whenever! Happy planning!
