Hiya, Susan! Welcome to planDisney!
It looks like you'll be arriving at Walt Disney World Resort during my favorite time of the year, spooky season! I love all things Halloween, especially at Walt Disney World! From the over-the-top decorations to the fire-breathing parades and cavalcades, October is such an exciting time at the Most Magical Place on Earth. There may even be special after-hours events available during your trip, like
Boo Bash! These events occur after the park closes and include snacks and drinks, as well as shorter wait times for your favorite rides! Check back once the event schedule is released, as you surely don't want to miss out on this frightfully fun time!
The
My Disney Experience app is one of my favorite gadgets in all of the world (Walt Disney World, at least). This trusty tool has many uses, from serving as your park ticket, housing your Genie+ reservations and even providing a convenient payment method! Unfortunately, you cannot book rooms at a
Disney Resort Hotel directly from the app. If you would like to use the app to get started, you can type the name of the Disney Resort Hotel you'd like to book into the search bar. On that resort hotel's dedicated page, you'll see an icon labeled "Call to Book." When you click this, your phone will be dialed in to make the reservation over the phone.
However, if you'd like to browse multiple resort hotel options and availability during the time of your visit, I'd suggest using the
Walt Disney World website. On the pink and purple menu bar, hover over the option for "Places to Stay." In the drop-down menu, you can choose the resort category that best fits your budget and browse availability and prices! Once you settle on the winner, click the "Room Rates" tab and then click on the room you'd like to book. You can check out from there and even add park tickets for all of your Guests. If you'd prefer to speak to a Cast Member directly to book your resort hotel, you can
call the phone number for "Disney Resort Hotel Reservations" and one of my enchanting friends will be able to book your stay right over the phone! This is always a helpful option if you have questions or need help deciding the best resort hotel for you.
Susan, I hope I've helped guide you in the right direction today! Disney Resort Hotels are a magical experience of their own, so no matter what you choose, I recommend carving out some time during your stay to really dig in and see what your accommodation has to offer. From restaurants to shopping to absolutely fantastic pools, you will never run out of things to explore!
Have a magical day,
Ashley
