Hey Howdy Hey Michelle and welcome to planDisney!
How exciting it is to decide on the right time, pick your perfect resort and then go through the steps to booking your Magical vacation. As you have found out, there are other ways you need to approach booking your perfect vacation if everyone is going to have a little bit of a different experience. Let's go over how.
When booking a vacation package to the Walt Disney World Resort, this will include your
Disney Resort Collection hotel accommodations and Theme Park Tickets at a minimum. When going through these steps, this is an "all or nothing" situation where everyone needs to be on the same plan for tickets in the parks. If you want to have the option for different park tickets, there are two ways to book this. You can book the Disney Resort hotel and Theme Park tickets separately online by yourself or feel free to
call Disney and speak with a Cast Member about the specifics of your vacation. The Cast Members can book your vacation exactly like you want it.
I'm sure you know but just a friendly reminder about all of the
benefits of staying onsite at a Disney Resort hotel. Not only will you have the opportunity to get into the parks 30 minutes early with
Early Theme Park Entry and have your booking window for dining reservations open 60 days before your date of arrival to name a few, but Disney has a new perk for Guests in 2025. All Guests staying with Disney Resorts hotels will have
complimentary access to the water parks on the day of their check-in. Some people like to take it easy after a full day of traveling and this will be a nice way to do so!
I hope you can get your vacation booked accordingly so you can get back to the fun of planning your trip! If you have any other questions along the way, feel free to reach out and let us know, we always love any excuse to talk Disney!
To Infinity and Beyond,
Nick
