Hey there Denise and welcome to planDisney. Looks like you will travel to the "Place Where Dreams Come True" during the winter holiday season. You will love the decorated trees in all the theme parks as well as the
Disney gingerbread houses that are created with delicious magic in some of the
Deluxe Resort hotels.
Unfortunately, there are
no retiree discounts on
Disney Resorts Collection hotels, vacation packages, or tickets. I recommend, and so does Disney, to check with senior citizen organizations, buying clubs, or credit card companies to see if they run any special deals on Disney vacations. Disney does have
Special Offers from time to time for kids of all ages.
Denise, if this is your first time or your first time in forever at Walt Disney World Resort be sure to make your
dining reservations 60 days in advance to have the best chance of getting the dining experience you want. One of the best
benefits of staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel is that you can make all your dining reservations (up to a total of 10 days) beginning 60 days from your check-in date.
Denise, I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to
write me back directly with any follow-up questions or for other Disney vacation planning tips.
Enjoy making many Magical Memories.
