    Package for family trip

    Hiya, Mohammad! Welcome to planDisney!

    I’m happy to give you some friendly advice regarding your upcoming visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth, Mohammad. Let’s get right into it!

    The Walt Disney World Resort website makes planning a family vacation really straightforward. On the welcome page, you’ll see a “Build Your Vacation” banner right near the top. Here, you can enter your travel dates, along with the makeup of your travel party. You can also filter resorts, but I recommend leaving this set to “All Resort Hotels” so you can see all available options. From here, you can select your resort. Each resort includes a “Resort Overview” link with helpful details to guide your decision. Once you’ve chosen your resort, you’ll be able to select your room category.

    Next, you’ll choose your tickets. You’ll be able to select how many days you’d like to visit the parks, as well as the ticket type that best fits your plans. Options include 1 Park per day, Park Hopper Option, Water Park and Sports Option, and Park Hopper Plus Option. Each ticket type will have a description underneath to help you decide.
     
    You’ll then be prompted to add a Dining Plan. Disney Dining Plans allow you to prepay for meals ahead of your trip. If this is something you’re interested in, you can choose between the Disney Dining Plan and the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan, and you’ll be able to review the cost for each.
     
    And that’s it! With just a few easy clicks, you’ll have booked your vacation to The Most Magical Place on Earth. Staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel also comes with some great perks. Not least of which is the ability to book Advanced Dining Reservations 60 days before your check-in date, for every night of your stay (up to 10 days). You’ll also be able to purchase Lightning Lane Passes 7 days ahead of your check-in day. You’ll also qualify for Early Theme Park Entry, which is a great way to enjoy a few attractions before the parks officially open for the day!

    I know that’s a lot of information! If you have any other questions as you begin planning your vacation, please don’t hesitate to come back and see us here at planDisney. My fellow panelists and I have many, many years of combined Disney planning experience, and we’re always happy to help!

    Happy planning!
