Hi Janice!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney as you start to plan what I'm sure will be a vacation full of magical memories to Walt Disney World Resort!
Janice, hotel reservations can be made
directly on the Walt Disney World website or by
calling a Cast Member at Tickets and Hotel Reservations for assistance. When making your reservation online, you'll be able to enter details such as your preferred travel dates and party size. If you're traveling with any children, it's important to enter their ages as this can impact room occupancy and/or ticket pricing if you choose to add
theme park tickets to your hotel reservation. Once you have entered this information, you'll be able to browse available resorts to find the property that is practically perfect in every way!
With more than two dozen hotels in the Disney Resorts Collection, there is something for every vacation preference and budget. When I'm planning a short visit and prioritizing my time in the parks, I prefer to stay at one of the Value Resorts. In this category, I really like
Disney's All-Star Sports Resort. As a mom of three boys, the fun theming throughout this property is a big hit for my family! If I'm planning a longer visit that includes a balance of relaxation at our resort and time in the parks, I tend to book a Deluxe Resort, which offers a few more amenities and dining options. A favorite in this category is
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. One of my most cherished memories from Walt Disney World was when my oldest was just two years old, and we stayed in a Savanna View room here. He woke up every morning and raced to the balcony, where he was excited to look for giraffes, zebras, and other wildlife roaming right outside our window!
No matter which hotel you choose, all Guests staying in the Disney Resorts Collection can enjoy some
great benefits, including
Early Theme Park Entry, free
parking at their resort and the theme parks,
complimentary resort transportation, and advanced booking windows for
dining reservations and
Lightning Lane passes. I'd also suggest checking out the
Special Offers page to see if any discounts are available for your travel dates!
I hope this information helps you start planning your jolly holiday, Janice! If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney - we're all ears!
Cheers,
Kristi
