Greetings, Dodi! Yay! I am so excited that you are planning a family trip to the Disneyland Resort! You've certainly come to the right place to begin the planning process.
In my opinion, it is never too early to start finalizing your plans. Bookings for Disneyland Resort Hotels are now available through the end of the year so I would start researching these hotels and Good Neighbor Hotels to find one that meets your needs. The Disneyland Resort does have group rates for groups that can occupy at least 10 guest rooms during one night of their stay. If this applies to your family, then give Disney Group Getaways a call at (714) 520-5004 or complete a contact form
online. If you don't need quite that many rooms, you can book through the regular website or call the Vacation Packages line at (714) 520-5060.
Vacation packages make it really easy to book everything at once. You can secure your lodging, add theme park tickets, purchase character dining vouchers, and even add transportation from the airport. Plus, you also get some fun extras when you book a package like savings on dining and merchandise in the Downtown Disney District, an exclusive pin, lanyard, and luggage tag. Furthermore, if you stay at a Disneyland Resort Hotel, you will have access to my all-time favorite perk:
Extra Magic Hour!
I would love to continue to help you plan your magical adventure to the Happiest Place on Earth, so please stop by again with any other questions you may have!
