Welcome to planDisney, Eric! You're among fellow planners here, so I'm glad you found us. I tell my husband that the world is out of balance unless I have a trip to
Walt Disney World Resort on the books, so I completely understand your desire to get the party started!
I just spoke with a friendly Cast Member to check the status of booking a vacation package for 2024, and he said package bookings for 2024 should become available in July of 2023. I'd suggest keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for the latest announcements.
But if you're like me, you'll be itching to get your plans rolling as soon as possible, so I do have another suggestion. Beginning in May of 2023, you should be able to book a room-only package online or by calling
Resort Reservations. Choose your favorite
Disney Resorts Collection hotel and pick your dates. You'll have that piece of the planning puzzle in place for the price of one night's deposit.
Then, when vacation packages become available this summer, give guest services a call back to switch your room-only reservation to a vacation package that can include
theme park tickets, a
Memory Maker photo package, and more. Although subject to change, the typical cost to make this package booking is $200, and then you can make payments at your own pace until it is paid in full 30 days before check-in.
As a mom of a grown son, I'm a big fan of adult-only visits. We enjoy the slower pace and more spontaneous nature of those trips. I just know your family is going to have a blast! Have you thought of booking a family suite at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort? The suites are colorful and fun and sleep six adults. I love that they have two full bathrooms and a kitchenette. And this resort is on the
Disney Skyliner route which makes it a breeze to get to
Disney's Hollywood Studios and
EPCOT.
Eric, I'm so glad you stopped by planDisney! Please reach out with any questions that come up as you plan for your amazing family adventure!
Magic awaits,
Elaine
