Hey there, Jill! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question today!
Booking a visit to Walt Disney World Resort can be done in two ways. There are vacation packages, and there are room-only reservations.
Vacation packages include theme park tickets, and
dining plans (if you choose to get one). If you plan on visiting this year, you can go ahead and make a reservation by booking online, or by calling (407) 939-5277. If you plan on visiting in 2025, vacation packages are not available to book at this time, but Hakuna Matata! Walt Disney World
usually releases packages for the following year in late spring/early summer. Check back on the Walt Disney World website then, and keep up with all the magical announcements on the
Disney Parks Blog, it will be announced here first! Room-only reservations can be booked up to 499 days in advance.
Speaking of Disney Parks Blog, check out the
Foodie Guides! I love trying new restaurants and snacks on each visit, and I love checking out these articles in advance to make notes about what I want to try, especially if I am visiting during a festival! If you can't wait until your visit and want to try replicating it at home, check out the Disney Recipes section, and pull out your chef's hat!
Jill, thanks for stopping by planDisney again! Feel free to
send me other questions you may have before your visit. The magic is calling, and we can't wait for you to "be our guest" at Walt Disney World!
Happy Planning!
