Welcome to planDisney Joe!
I am so excited to hear you are looking into a Walt Disney World vacation. Selecting your dates and checking availability are your first steps to a magical getaway so let's get started!
On the
Explore Resort Hotels page, select your travel dates and number of adults and children in your travel party. Then click the green "Find Resorts" option. Hotels that are available for your dates will pop up. If your dates are flexible, try a few different options to see if it adds additional hotel options. When booking, you have the choice to include
Theme Park Tickets to create a vacation package. When booking a package, you need a $200 deposit to hold the reservation (price subject to change) with the balance due 30 days prior to arrival. You may opt to book Room Only which requires a deposit of one night's stay with the balance due upon arrival. Either way is fine, just don't forget to purchase your tickets if you go with the room only option!
When you are 60 days out from your magical vacation, your
Dining Reservation booking window will open. You will find amazing dining locations in the theme parks as well as in the resort hotels so have fun deciding where to dine! Quick Service options are also available throughout Walt Disney World and do not require reservations.
If you have any questions during your planning, stop back! Your pals here at
planDisney are happy to assist!
