Hi Dana,
Welcome to planDisney! I am delighted to hEAR that you are planning a visit to the Walt Disney World Resort! I am especially happy to see that you have picked such a fun resort. I love the
Big Blue Bool at Disney's Art of Animation Resort and the Little Mermaid rooms are super cute.
It sounds like you just need to divide your party into the two rooms and then book those
vacation packages separately. Just make sure that you have the right folks in each room. Once you book those vacation packages, be sure to link them in
My Disney Experience and then make
Disney Park Pass system reservations.
Once you make those park pass reservations, check your
advanced dining reservation window. Currently, we can make advanced dining reservations 60-days prior to arrival. On our most recent visit, those dining reservations were a life-saver. We enjoyed taking a break in the air-conditioning!
Keep an eye on the
operational updates, especially the
dining and
theme and tickets updates. Also take some time to familiarize yourself with
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering. I suggest checking the arrival time windows at least an hour before you want to eat.
Dana, make sure you have the
My Disney Experience Mobile App downloaded. If you do not plan to have MagicBands, you can also use
Disney MagicMoblie service with your mobile device. Just create your digital passes and use them to scan into the park!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
