Happy anniversary, Wendell! It is so thoughtful that you want to take your wife to the Most Magical Place on Earth to celebrate your one-year wedding anniversary! In fact, that is the exact way that my wife and I celebrated our one-year anniversary! You’re going to have an amazing trip!
Keeping your Walt Disney World Resort vacation on budget is important to the planning process! I believe we can probably come in around your budget for park tickets and a resort hotel for a few days/nights!
I’ll start by recommending one of the value resorts in the Disney Resorts Collection! My top recommendation would be to consider
Disney’s Pop Century Resort! This resort is conveniently located on the Disney Skyliner loop and will make for quick travel to and from parks such as Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT! You can still visit the other parks (Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom) but you would just have to use complimentary bus transportation from your resort to those parks.
For tickets, you should give some thought as to whether you want to visit all four theme parks or simply select a few to visit. For example, you might choose to visit Magic Kingdom Park and EPCOT. Prioritizing which parks you want to visit (rather than visiting all four) will result in savings for you!
If you do want to visit all four parks, I will mention that there is currently a special ticket deal being offered. The
4-Day/4-Park Magic Ticket allows Guests to visit all four parks for $99/park (plus tax). The total per person comes out to $396 per person (plus tax). The prices mentioned are for this specific offer which is only valid through September 29, 2023. Again, I only recommend this if you are choosing to visit all four parks.
Wendell, to begin your planning, head to the Walt Disney World Resort website. Look for the heading that states, “Build Your Vacation.” You’ll enter your planned dates of travel, number of Guests (and ages), and then select Disney’s Pop Century Resort from the dropdown menu (if you like that recommendation). You’ll then click “View Rates.” When the room options appear, be sure to select the “Package” offer (rather than just the “Room” option). Then proceed with following the remaining prompts to book your reservation!
As you continue your planning, please come back to planDisney! We’re happy to help! Happy anniversary to you and your wife!
Happy Planning!
