Hi Kathy,
It's so fun to hear you're planning your Walt Disney World Resort vacation. It's especially great to see that you are giving yourself lots of time to plan. There's so much to see, do, and enjoy in a Walt Disney World Resort vacation, and I can tell you that the planDisney panelists are always happy to share tips and recommendations from our own vacation travels.
When it comes to collecting pricing info to consider which vacation packages are a best fit for you, I think there are a few options to suggest.
If you feel you'd welcome a full-service travel planning experience, you might want to consider popping open your favorite web browser to do a search for an "Authorized Disney Vacation Planner." Professional travel agents who have earned this Disney distinction can offer their fee-free services to put together complete vacation packages for you.
If you're more of a "plan it yourself and call for assistance with completing the bookings" type person, I think you can explore the Resort information and theme park ticket options to get an idea of what you want in your vacation package, and then call the Walt Disney Travel Company at (407) 939-7675 to have them help you complete the booking. You can start by exploring the
Disney Resorts Collection to see how you can "Stay in the Magic." Once you find the Resort hotel that calls your name, you can contact the Walt Disney Travel Company to book the accommodations and
add on theme park tickets.
If you are open to more of a "plan it and book it yourself" approach, I think you'll find that the online vacation planning and booking tools available at
Disneyworld.com are easy to use and really convenient. You can start with the
"Book your Walt Disney World Vacation today" tools to select your Resort hotel and select your theme park tickets.
Kathy, I hope this helps get you started with planning your stay at the Walt Disney World Resort. As I see it, no matter how you choose to plan your stay, there is one certainty: all the magic is awaiting you!
Jerry
