Hiya, David, and welcome to planDisney!
It sounds like you're planning my kind of Disney vacation. You want to be right in the thick of the action in a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel with as few lines as possible, and a change of scenery whenever the fancy takes you. Well, to quote our girl Princess Tiana, you're almost there.
I always tell my friends that the best place to start planning your trip is actually right on the homepage of the Walt Disney World website. There is a " Build Your Vacation " tool right at the top of the page that will allow you to enter all your travel details, like your dates, travel party details, and your choice of hotel. When following the prompts, you'll also be able to purchase your theme park tickets and include the
Park Hopper Option for optimal magic making.
If you're like me and want to pack everything in your suitcase except your patience, you're going to want to secure
Lightning Lane Multi Pass for the whole crew. Since you plan to stay on the property, you can purchase this add-on as early as 7 days before your vacation. At 7 AM EST that day, you'll be able to reserve the first 3 attractions for each of your park days.
Pro-tip: Make sure you download the
My Disney Experience app and link your entire vacation there. You'll have all of your information in one convenient location and be able to make more Lightning Lanes with ease while in the parks.
David, I'm wishing you a most magical vacation. If you have any more questions,
come on back. Our door is always open!
Happy planning!
Taylor
