Hey there, Rodnesha! We're so glad you found your way to planDisney. Helping Guests create magical memories is what we love most, so thank you for letting us be part of your journey! Getting a head start on planning is key to getting the best value and staying in the know about everything happening at Walt Disney World Resort. With all the excitement coming in 2027, I can't wait to see what's in store!
February and March are fantastic times to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth! The weather is usually just right. I love strolling around in a light sweater during the evenings. Plus, your trip will be around the
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts and the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. If your dates are flexible, I highly recommend looking into these.
For a big trip like this, I completely understand wanting to get an early start on booking and budgeting. It's what I do for my family, too! While 2027 dates aren't available to book just yet, they typically open for reservations around May of the previous year (though this isn't guaranteed). I recommend checking in early spring through early summer to see if your dates are live. Once they’re available, reserve your spot right away! Be sure to check for
special offers throughout the year. If you see one you like, call Disney, and a Cast Member can add it to your reservation, because who doesn't love saving a little extra while experiencing the magic?
It's also helpful to know that Disney doesn't have an official payment plan, but you can make payments throughout the year on your own schedule. Just log in to your
My Disney Experience account, hover over “My Disney Experience,” and select “My Plans.” Scroll to your reservation, and you should see a “Make a Payment” option. If that doesn't appear, give
Disney a call, where a Cast Member will be happy to help you apply a payment over the phone.
I'm so glad you decided to stay on-site, as there are
fantastic benefits to staying at a Disney Resort hotel! My personal favorite is the
complimentary transportation; I love not having to worry about driving or parking. It truly feels like the royal treatment! Plus, getting into the theme parks 30 minutes early with
Early Entry is a huge perk and the perfect time to enjoy popular attractions with shorter wait times.
Rodnesha, I hope this information has been helpful. If you have any more questions, please come back and visit us here at planDisney. We'd love to help make your planning as magical as possible!
Your personal planning companion,
Michelle
