Welcome to planDisney, Karanbeer. It's so nice to virtually meet you.
Because there's so much to do and see at the Walt Disney World Resort and everyone has their own personal preferences, it's difficult to give you a full itinerary, but I can definitely give you some helpful suggestions on how to make your perfect Disney vacation a reality. Let's get right to it!
Because of your home location, you may have to
call a friendly Cast Member at the Walt Disney World Resort to book your vacation as you might not be able to do it through the website on your own. But don't worry, they will happily go through the process with you. If you find that
can do it through the website, I've got some step-by-step directions to help you out!
1.) Firstly, go to the
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel page and pick the hotel that speaks to you and your budget. Input your dates, click "View Rates," look at pictures and prices, and select the best hotel for your family. Once you've selected a hotel, click "Select" next to your preferred room type.
2.) Next, select the number of days you'd like to be in the parks and the type of ticket you'd like. If you plan on only visiting one park per day, the Base Ticket should be fine. If you'd like to be able to hop around to different parks on the same day, select the Park Hopper Option. You can also add on the ability to visit the water parks and other Walt Disney World Resort fun. Just review the details and see which works for you. Once you've made your selection, click "Continue."
3.) Here's where you can choose if you want a
dining plan. The Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan is perfect for Guests who like their meals more on the go and the Disney Dining Plan is for Guests who like to have a sit-down meal at least once a day.
4.) Now, you'll review the details and complete the booking process. Bam! Your vacation is on the books and ready to be planned.
5.) Here comes the fun part! Use the Disney Genie Service to help plan your daily itinerary. When you arrive in the United States, download the My Disney Experience mobile app and sign into your MyDisney account.
6.) Once logged in, click the 3 horizontal lines (☰) in the bottom right-hand corner and select "Today's Plans." Right under the "My Day" tab, select "Change Day," and select your first park day from the calendar. Once you've done that, you should see a "Get Started" button underneath "An Incredible Disney Park Day Awaits." Follow the prompts to select your preferences. You'll want to do this for each day. Then, when each day arrives, the Disney Genie Service will show you a personalized itinerary of suggested activities.
7.) If you have chosen a Disney Resorts Collection Hotel or other qualifying hotel, you'll be able to purchase
Lightning Lane Multi Pass and/or Lightning Single Pass to make Lightning Lane reservations in advance for select experiences 7 days in advance of your arrival date. If you are staying at a different hotel, you'll be able to book 3 days ahead of the start of your theme park ticket. Just note that currently, this cannot be done outside of the United States or Canada. So if this is a service you'd like to use, make sure you do it as soon as you land in the United States and are eligible.
Karanbeer, I hope you found this helpful! If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
I'm happy to help!
