    I've read I can reserve a Disney World Resort vacation as early as possible, then change that reservation when deals are released later. How does that work? Could I reserve a value resort, then take advantage of deals later to upgrade?

    Welcome back to planDisney, Matthew! I'm so glad to be able to answer your question today. You've landed on one of my favorite pro tips! One of the best things about booking a Walt Disney World vacation package is how flexible it is, especially when it comes to taking advantage of deals and promos down the line, and I'm happy to walk you through exactly how it works. 

    When you book your vacation early, you're locking in your preferred dates and resort, which is super smart, especially if you're planning to visit during a popular time. Then, if a special offer or discount is released later, like a room discount or a dining offer, you can absolutely modify your reservation to take advantage of it, as long as your room type or resort is eligible and there's availability. If it's not, you also have the freedom to change resorts or room types to take advantage of new deals and promos!

    You can make changes to your vacation package up to 30 days before your check-in date, giving you plenty of time to snag a great offer if one comes along. You can modify your reservation right in the My Disney Experience app or website, or by calling the friendly folks at Disney Resort Hotel Reservations. They'll help you apply a promo to your current reservation if it qualifies, or help you upgrade to another eligible room or resort, like bumping up from a Value Resort to a Moderate or Deluxe, if that's something you're interested in.

    So go ahead and book the Value Resort you're interested in now to secure your spot, and keep your eyes open for those special offers! You've got options, and that's the magic of planning ahead. Let me know if you need help picking your perfect resort, I'm always happy to help!
