Hi, Cierra!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. How wonderful that you're planning to return to Walt Disney World Resort to celebrate your little princess's 3rd birthday! I can't think of a more magical place to celebrate a special occasion! Your daughter will be turning that very special age when she can experience even more fun like a royal makeover at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Magic Kingdom or Downtown Disney.
Room-only reservations at Disney Resort hotels can be made up to 399 days in advance by calling Walt Disney World at
407-939-7429. If you'd like to make a room-only reservation before the official 2014 pricing is released, you would be charged the highest room rate for 2013 at the resort you've selected. But keep in mind that you do not pay in full at the time of reservation -- you only pay a deposit (refundable up to 5 days before your arrival) which is equivalent to one night's room charges plus tax. Once the 2014 pricing is released, your total reservation cost (and deposit) would then be adjusted to reflect those new rates.
Walt Disney World vacation package pricing (resort room plus park tickets) for the following calendar year is typically released in June or July, so really we should be seeing them appear any day now on the
Walt Disney World website. Once the 2014 vacation package is announced, you would be able to book directly online or by calling the reservations telephone number above.
Please let me know if I can offer any other assistance, including resort hotel or vacation package suggestions or advice. Wishing you happy planning!
