Hey Howdy Hey Laura and welcome to planDisney!
One of the best parts about planning and booking your trip to Walt Disney World Resort is the convenience of doing everything from your
My Disney Experience account online or through the app. The process though is very particular so let's walk through booking your vacation package with Disney Resort Collection hotel accommodations and Theme Park tickets.
After you have decided on which hotel you wanted to stay at, the first step is to go to
Disney's site for "Places to Stay". Pick the hotel you wanted and then you should be prompted to put in your travel information, such as dates and number of guests and then move to the next step to check availability and room accommodation specifics. In this next step, as you scroll down before you get to the specific room accommodations, you should see an option for "Room" or "Package". The package you want to make sure is selected as this will include your tickets.
After you select the room you would like, the next step is where you will be prompted to "Add Theme Park Tickets". This process automatically selects the full length of stay with park tickets, so feel free to modify as you need and follow the other prompts for the specifics on the tickets as well.
The last step in the process is securing your reservation. With
vacation packages to Walt Disney World Resort, you are required to put a $200.00 fully-refundable deposit down and the full amount would be due 30 days before your date of arrival. All of which can be paid right from your My Disney Experience account. You will also receive an email for confirmation with a reservation number that, if not already linked, you will be able to link to your My Disney Experience account and start the next steps of planning your trip!
After you book your trip and have everything linked, I would make sure you download the
My Disney Experience app on your smart device that you will be taking with you. Get familiar with this as this is the place you can do so much right from your device. You will be able to make dining reservations,
Moble Order food throughout the resort, summon
Genie+ to book Lightning Lane selections and even set up your
MagicMobile pass to navigate the parks with much more convenience. So much to do and access right from one place!
Good luck with booking and your continued planning for your trip to the Vacation Kingdom of the World! If you have any further questions let your
newfound 'Ohana know and we can help you out!
Happy planning,
Nick
