Hi Bonnie!
The amazing thing about planning your next
Disneyland Resort vacation is that you can certainly pay for your hotel accommodations, Park tickets and certain dining experiences in advance as part of a vacation package.
Guests generally have until the month prior to their trip to pay the balance in full when they book a vacation package, so depending on how far in advance you plan, you can make things very manageable for yourself and your family. For the most part, guests are able to book a vacation package to the Disneyland Resort within the same year.
Here is what you need to do in order to book a Disneyland Resort vacation package:
*Visit the
Vacation Package page by going to Disneyland.com and clicking on the tab that says "Places to Stay".
At the bottom of the list, you'll find the option for "Vacation Packages".
*Once you're there you'll have to select your travel dates and select your preferred hotel (you'll notice the different Disneyland Resort hotels have different price categories).
*Once your hotel is selected, you can choose which Park tickets you want for your vacation, whether multi-day tickets with Park Hopper option or single day, single Park tickets.
*You can also select a few add-on options for your vacation including a Character Dining Experience and ground transportation.
*Finally, when you're ready to check out, you can opt to either pay the entirety of the vacation package or pay a deposit. If you choose a deposit, then you'll have until the month before your trip to pay!
I hope this helps.
Have fun at the Happiest Place on Earth and have a Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Day!
