Hey Emma-
It’s great to have you back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I know you are so excited to cross the pond to the “Most Magical Place on Earth.”
Disney’s Polynesian Village is the perfect tropical getaway for your July trip. The resort is still under refurbishment yet you may still enjoy the delicious ‘Ohana and Kona Café restaurants, Tambu Lounge in the Great Ceremonial House and even
Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto. Don’t forget to grab a Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bar and enjoy the Wishes nighttime spectacular fireworks showcase and the
Electrical Water Pagent on the beach.
When using a third party reseller, such as Expedia, for Walt Disney World Resort hotels, they become your travel specialist. In general, your Magic Your Way theme park tickets do not need to be purchased through a travel specialist. You may
purchase them separately and then
link them to your hotel reservation through your Disney account in My Disney Experience. If you are modifying a room view or wanting to add a Disney dining plan then all changes to your reservation must go through your travel specialist and they will negotiate with Walt Disney World Resort on your behalf. It may be possible to add a Disney Dining Plan but only the third party will be able to arrange it for you.
I hope this helps you plan a wonderfully pixie-dusted trip. Please stop by again, Emma.
Enjoy making many Magical Memories!
