Hello there Sarah!
Welcome to planDisney. I'd be more than happy to help you get started planning a magical visit to
Walt Disney World Resort.
It looks like you are hoping to stop by during the
holiday season which, in my opinion, is one of the most magical times of year to visit. The décor in the parks and resorts is truly breathtaking, and the specialty treats and entertainment offerings will definitely keep you feeling festive. My family enjoyed a Christmas vacation a few years ago and I can tell you there's nothing more magical than walking right down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A. as the sun comes up on Christmas morning. I'm so excited for your family to experience the magic!
I'm happy to share that you can book a vacation package that includes
theme park tickets and a stay at a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel with a minimal deposit, as long as your trip is booked more than 31 days prior to arrival. You'll be able to make payments toward your vacation package over time, with the final balance due 30 days prior to check-in. To do so, head on over to your
My Disney Experience Account and select "My Plans." Locate your reservation and then select "Make Payment" to apply your desired payment amount to your final balance.
While details are still in the works for this upcoming holiday season, I'm hoping we'll see the return of the amazing gingerbread displays at the resorts. Last year, I was blown away by the
life-size gingerbread house at
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and the beautiful gingerbread carousel at
Disney's Beach Club Resort which actually spun. Be sure to make plans to admire these incredible displays if available during your trip. You won't be disappointed!
The holidays are a very popular time to visit so I'd recommend securing your reservations as soon as possible. If you need any help with park itineraries, dining recommendations, or even assistance in narrowing down your resort options please don't hesitate to come back and see us again here at planDisney.
Wishing you magic and memories,
Amy
