Hi Kristin,
Glad you stopped by the
Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. I see you are looking at visiting the Resort next winter, just in time to experience
Epcot International Festival of the Arts.
The perfect way to visit the Resort is with a
vacation package, which includes a stay at a
Disney Resort Hotel and
Theme Park Tickets. And it is the only way to add a
Dining Plan, a great way to prepay for your all your meals.
But Mickey always tries to help our budgets with incredible
Special Offers. These typically include discounts on rooms or specially priced Theme Park Tickets. And sometimes we may get discounted or even free Dining Plans. At this time, you can book a vacation package for 2020 but only Mickey knows when he'll have discounts for that time frame. Our friends at mousesavers.com keep track of when offers are released, and in years past, offers for the winter would become available around the end of September. I guess we may know something very soon.
One last tip: if you see an offer you could take advantage of, you may be able to apply it to an existing reservation depending on availability. But you'll need to speak to a vacation planning expert at (407) 939-1936, or to your travel agent. Happy planning!
Ricardo.
