Welcome to planDisney, Erika! I’m glad to hear that you are considering all your planning options for your visit! Knowing all your options is important to managing your vacation budget! So, let’s start dreaming up your magical vacation! As we begin, please keep in mind that any price information shared in this answer is always subject to change.
The
Walt Disney World Resort website is the best place to start your planning. When you arrive at the website, look for the heading that states, “Build Your Vacation.” You’ll find the heading near the top of the page. You’ll be prompted to enter your preferred travel dates, the number of adults/children in your party, and your preferred resort hotel. You’ll then click “View Rates.” When the new page appears, you’ll see the room options (with prices). The initial prices listed are for just the room. You should then click the option for “Package” which you will see on the page. Once you do, you’ll see the prices adjust to include both the room and theme park tickets.
Once you identify the room/package that best meets your needs, you’ll click “Select.” Doing so will allow you to make any adjustments to your ticket choice. Your price will fluctuate as you adjust your ticket choices. After you adjust your ticket selections, you’ll click the “Continue” button. When the new page appears, you’ll be able to select if you want a
Disney Dining Plan. If you want a dining plan, you’ll click “Add Dining.” When you do, you’ll see the dining plan options (with prices).
The only item you inquired about that won’t be included in your initial package is
Disney Genie+. At the present time, Guests are unable to purchase Disney Genie+ in advance. Guests can only purchase Disney Genie+ on the day of their visit(s) to the theme parks. The purchase price for Disney Genie+ fluctuates by date and park. The price will be listed each morning in your My Disney Experience account. Prices typically fluctuate from a low of $15/per person/per day (when the park is least crowded) to a high of $35/per person/per day (when the park is most crowded).
Ericka, that should be enough to give you a very good head start on your vacation planning! You can make changes as you build your vacation package. You’re not charged for anything until you enter your credit card information and confirm your final purchase.
I hope this information has been helpful! Please come back to planDisney if you have more questions! We love to help!
Happy Planning!
