Hi Robert!
Welcome to planDisney! I see that you like looking for a good deal on your vacation - just like me! Let's take a look at some discounts currently available for vacation planning at Walt Disney World Resort.
For a complete list of current discounts, you can view the
special offers page of the Walt Disney World Resort website. You'll notice that options may include vacation packages as well as room-only or ticket-only specials depending on when you are visiting. I like to build my vacation package using one offer and then compare pricing using another to find the best value.
If you're looking for resort options that are small in their price tag but big on fun, you may want to consider the
Value Resort Hotels in the
Disney Resorts Collection. I've stayed at several of these over the years, but my favorite so far has been
Disney's All-Star Movies Resort. Here you'll find yourself immersed in some of your favorite Disney movies as each area of the resort property features a different film! In my opinion, one of the best in-room features at this resort is the folding queen-size table bed. If you choose to book a room with two queen beds, you'll find one of them folds into the wall to serve as a table during the day and a bed at night. It's a great way to maximize space in your room!
While you are considering options for your vacation package, you may also want to check out the
dining plans available to guests. The
Disney Dining Plan offers meals at both Table-Service and Quick-Service restaurants as well as snacks while the
Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan offers meal options at Quick-Service locations and snacks during your stay. When our family has used these plans in the past, it's been nice to know that much of the dining was already included in the price of our package.
One more tip I can share that helps me budget for an upcoming vacation is purchasing Disney Gift Cards in the weeks and months ahead of my trip. I recently
shared more about combining gift cards and all the ways you can use them with another guest. You may find some of those ideas useful too!
Robert, I hope this information is helpful as you start to plan a Walt Disney World Resort vacation! If you have more questions that my panelist pals or I can help with during your planning, please stop by and see us again here at planDisney - we're all ears!
See ya real soon,
