Hi Taylor,
Welcome to planDisney! Planning a summer Walt Disney World Resort vacation has got to be the stuff that dreams are made of. Not only will you be able to visit the theme parks, but you’ll also be able to take full advantage of your resort’s outdoor amenities like the pool and activities. You’re destined to have a magical time - now let’s get you some information to help you plan it.
You’ll be able to easily find and book resort hotel and ticket packages when you first
select the resort hotel you’d like to stay at during your vacation. Select your travel dates, the resort, and your room type. Then you’ll be presented with ticket package options. Be sure to take a look at the Disney World
special offers page - there are so many great promotions available for this summer, you are sure to find one that will save you money when booking.
If you have little ones, you might be excited to know that
Cool Kids' Summer is returning to the resort this summer. Additionally, throughout 2026
kids eat free on Disney Dining Plans. But Taylor, even if you don’t have little ones you’ll find that there’s
something for everyone at the resort this summer - keep up with Disney Parks Blog for more updates and information.
Lastly, consider adding a little extra pixie dust to your vacation.
Lightning Lane passes can be purchased as early as 60 days prior to your arrival date. Lightning Lane allows guests to skip the traditional standby queue and save precious park time.
Memory Maker allows guests to download all of their PhotoPass photos taken during their resort stay as well as their attraction photos. PhotoPass photographers have the ability enhance your photos with cool Magic Shots which add a bit of extra Disney magic to your photos.
Taylor, I’m hoping this information helps you. Of course, if you need additional planning help you can always come on back - we’ll be happy to help you. However, I do think your summer plans are likely already shaping up to be practically perfect in every way. We’ll see ya real soon!
Your pal,
Sakinah
