Hi Mike, and welcome to planDisney!
You have come to the right place to begin the vacation planning process because we will be here to answer any questions you may have along the way. Because I see you are planning a December arrival, now is an excellent time to get everything reserved.
If you have not done so, you can start the first phase of your vacation planning journey by creating your
My Disney Experience account. Next, visit The Walt Disney World Resort
website, and when you arrive at the page, you will see the "Build Your Vacation" feature. Input your proposed dates and the number of guests that will accompany you. Regarding the resorts section, I recommend selecting “All Resort Hotels” to yield the most returns (unless you have a preference). Once you choose your room, you can add your theme park tickets, Memory Maker, and ground transportation, if you would like to. Once that is done, just proceed through the checkout process. The only thing you can not add is the flights, but the good news is that finding the flights on your own allows you to shop around and decide what price point and schedule works best for you. Because of the time of year you plan to visit, it might be a good idea to secure your flights as soon as possible.
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Have a magical time!
Raquel
