Hi Stephanie! You started your planning at the right place! You came to planDisney! I’m happy to give you a few pointers on booking your magical vacation!
First, head over to the Walt Disney World Resort website and create your very own
My Disney Experience account! This account will be helpful in keeping track of your hotel, dining, and theme park reservations! It will also keep track of any “magical extras” that you book for your vacation! You can create your account by clicking right on the My Disney Experience icon on the main page of the website! After you create your My Disney Experience account, you can also download the My Disney Experience app for your mobile device!
Now that you’ve got your account set up, the real fun begins...selecting which hotel in the Disney Resorts Collection to call “home.” There are resort hotels in the value, moderate, and deluxe categories. You can explore all of them by clicking the “
Places to Stay” tab on the website. Here at planDisney, we’re happy to make a few recommendations! Once you’ve narrowed down your category or a few resort choices, please feel free to send us another question. Between my fellow panelists and me, we’ve probably stayed at just about every resort!
Stephanie, when you’re looking at the resort hotels, you should see two options toward the top of your screen. One is for “Room” - this is a room-only reservation. The other is for “Package” - this is a room and theme park ticket package. By selecting the “Package” option you’ll be able to book both a room and theme park tickets for your visit!
This should be just enough to get you started! Of course, you are welcome to come back to planDisney as you continue dreaming of your magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
Hakuna Matata! Jonathan
