Hiya, Nathan! I'm so glad you found the second star to the right and followed it straight on to planDisney!
Oh boy, I am thrilled to hear that you're planning a visit to
The Most Magical Place on Earth! With so much to see and do during
The Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration, you're sure to find magic waiting around every corner. Be sure to check out the glowing
Beacons of Magic in each of the parks which light up the night in new and exciting ways (
Spaceship Earth in
EPCOT is my favorite!).
Nathan, like you, I can't wait for the return of the Disney Dining Plan! While we don't know exactly when this feature will return, I'll be keeping my eye on the
Disney Parks Blog which always seems to announce these exciting updates first. Until then, my best tip is to estimate how much you'd likely spend on meals and snacks and purchase a
Disney Gift Card to use! This will give you the all-inclusive feeling you're looking for and the best part is that you can spend anything leftover on some souvenirs to bring home. This always feels extra magical to me!
You are able to
make a payment on your booked vacation package online! To do this, log into your account, hover your mouse over the
My Disney Experience tab, and click
My Plans. Scroll down until you see your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel reservation. You should see a link that says "Make a Payment" next to your confirmation number. Click this link and follow the prompts to continue with your payment! If you don't see this link or need more assistance, you're welcome to
call a Cast Member. They will be happy to help you with making a payment for your magical vacation!
While you're putting the finishing touches on your trip, be sure that you've also made your Theme Park Reservations using the
Disney Park Pass system! This is an important step to reserve the parks you wish to visit on each day of your trip. You may also want to take some time to download and explore everything that the
My Disney Experience app has to offer! This app feels a little like holding your own magic wand in your hand. You'll be able to check wait times for attractions, view park maps, and even
mobile order food. This is a great way to minimize waits and maximize the fun!
I hope I was able to help you today, Nathan! If you have any other questions, please visit us again. Remember - you've got a friend in me!
See ya real soon!
