Hiya Harvey,
Welcome to planDisney! You have come to the right place for help planning a family vacation to the Most Magical Place on Earth. Between incredible accommodations to fit your budget, attractions and experiences that everyone can enjoy, and my favorite yummy food for even the pickiest eater, you are sure to have a memorable time.
With a family that large, I know that the price of your vacation can start to add up, so being able to make payments toward your final balance can be incredibly useful. Luckily, with a Walt Disney World Resort Vacation Package, you can do just that! A
Walt Disney World Resort Vacation Package is a booking where you reserve your stay at a resort hotel along with your Theme Park tickets in a single transaction. These special packages also include the added benefit of
Magical Extras, which give you more discounts on dining and entertainment like miniature golf! Of course, the benefit that you will care the most about is the ability to make payments toward your final balance (the final payment is due 30 days before your check-in date). To reserve a Vacation Package, start by selecting a resort hotel ( the maximum room capacity is 12 Guests, so you will need to book more than one room) either online or over the phone. Once you select a room, the following screen will give you an option to add your theme park tickets. Once you choose your tickets, you will have the start of a Vacation Package. Your final step before paying an initial deposit and booking will be to confirm whether you would like to add a
dining plan (which is not a requirement for a vacation package). Once you pay your deposit, your Vacation Package is secured, and you can make payments in whatever amount you want until the final payment is due!
I hope this was helpful, Harvey! Before I let you go, as you continue planning your trip, I did want to share some recommendations for great places to dine with large parties on property. Two of my favorites are
‘Ohana and
Boma, but I also have to recommend
Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue as well for its incredible dinner show. Please come back and see us if you need anything else, including additional recommendations; we would be happy to help you make your family trip magical!
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
