Hi Michael,
Welcome to planDisney!
It sounds like you are trying to plan a visit to the Walt Disney World® Resort! I wish I could give you a simple answer about resort options. The resort options available will depend on the number of people in your party and the exact dates of your visit. When pricing options, the reservation system will also need the ages of any children traveling with you. I suggest that you
call to speak with a cast member or use the online
vacation planning tool to check possible dates.
In the meantime, take a look at the
Disney Resorts Collection hotel options. Consider the amenities that you would prefer in a resort hotel so that you have a priority list when you start pricing options. Since my family typically does not drive, we prefer Disney resort hotels that have multiple transportation options. We really love Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Disney's Contemporary Resort because they are within walking distance to Magic Kingdom. I did check availability for two adults and two children starting on December 30 for two nights and there was some availability. That availability could change by the time you check.
Once you select a resort hotel, then consider how many theme park ticket days you will need. I always recommend at least four so that you can visit each theme park at least once. Also consider one of the
Disney Dining Plans. My family prefers the
Disney Dining Plan because we love dining at
Table-Service restaurants, especially for character meals! Once you have your vacation package booked, I recommend making a few advanced dining reservations. Given your potential arrival date, I am worried about resort and dining availability but that availability will depend on the size of your party and length of your stay.
Michael, call to speak with a cast member as soon as possible! I am sending a little extra pixie dust trusting that you get a package booked and some dining reservations made. Last tip - consider booking an
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays Candlelight Processional Dining Package. And then, let the countdown begin!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
