Hiya, Anna! We're so glad you decided to "be our guest" at planDisney - welcome! It is always a good time to plan your next
Walt Disney World Resort vacation, and I'm here to help you navigate the ins and outs of traveling with a big group. Let's get to it!
The Most Magical Place on Earth is an ideal spot for a fun family getaway. There is so much to do for everyone, from your littlest Mouseketeers to grandparents and beyond. Some of my very best Disney memories are from trips with a bigger group, and I just know your crew will love spending time together.
Before making reservations at your preferred
Resort Hotel, be sure that everyone in your party has a
My Disney Experience account, and then connect via the
Family & Friends feature. This will allow you to assign the correct Guests to each room. Next, reserve two hotel rooms via the Walt Disney World website - each reservation will be completed separately, but when booking room #2, you can request connecting or close rooms in the "Room & Amenity Requests" section at checkout. You can also call the
Tickets and Hotel Reservations line, and one of the always-helpful Cast Members can handle the booking for you over the phone!
Anna, any Florida resident offers, including theme park tickets, are only available for residents of the Sunshine State. If your other family members are coming from Florida, they can purchase Florida Resident theme park tickets for the folks in their immediate family. Any Guest 18 or older with a Florida Resident ticket must provide
proof of residency, and Guests under 18 must enter the parks with an adult who can show this proof.
For us Midwesterners who are dreaming of summer during the sub-zero season, there are some great
special offers for this summer! I definitely recommend checking this page out to see if any of these deals and discounts might apply to your trip. For Guests staying in a Disney Resort Hotel between May 26 and September 8, you'll also be able to enjoy free water park entry on your check-in day as part of
Cool KIDS' SUMMER! Get to your hotel early to drop those bags and head straight to
Disney's Blizzard Beach or
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon for some extra fun in the sun.
I hope this information is just what you needed, Anna! Wishing you an unforgettable vacation, full of core memories, laughter, and all the delicious Disney snacks you can find. Please stop back and see us again at planDisney if we can help with any other planning details for your trip.
See Ya Real Soon!
