Hi Michael, and welcome to planDisney!
You have asked a great question, and I love that you are in the early planning phase of an upcoming
Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
First, because your proposed arrival dates are set to occur in April 2023, you can still reserve the (room-only) resort you desire up to 499 days of your arrival date. The rates for 2023 are not available just yet, but you can always call (407)939-1234 and speak with a cast member who will be able to reserve a room-only reservation. Once the package rates are released for April 2023, you can upgrade that reservation to a vacation package.
Looking at the theme parks you would like to experience; I recommend investing in a
3-day Water Park and Sports option ticket. It allows you entry into each of the three theme parks per day over three days and will enable you to choose a visit to
Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park. While FastPass+ is no longer available, you can purchase the
Disney Genie+ Lightning Lane Entrance which is similar, but will incur an added fee.
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Have a magical time!
Raquel
