Hi Caryl!
I love last minute Walt Disney World trips! It is so fun to be spontaneous and inject a little unexpected magic into a vacation!
Depending on the size of your travel party, and your budget, there are still options when booking a resort online via
Walt Disney World's website. If you're browsing through and do not see an option that fits your needs, you may want to consider staying at two resorts during your stay. My family loves this option, as we get to experience two magical resorts during one vacation. The plus side of this is that you can take advantage of a shorter stay, say two nights in one resort, and then two nights in a different resort. This can be super budget friendly too - especially if you combine a value resort with a moderate or deluxe. You get the best of both worlds, but at a lower price than if you had simply enjoyed the higher cost resort.
If you're not finding a Walt Disney World resort that suits your needs, you could also consider options just outside of Walt Disney World. These
partner resorts do not have all of the exact same amenities, but are a great option for a last minute trip.
Last, but not least, with both your resort reservations and dining reservations, be persistent. Guests often change their plans as their vacation time draws near. Checking for availability frequently often pays off! I've had great luck, especially securing very popular dining reservations, just a few days before a trip by checking for new openings frequently.
I hope this helps! Good luck!
