Hi Margaret!
Thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with this great question. You are going to love
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside; it's one of my family's favorite
Walt Disney World Resort hotels. Don't miss out on the
Campfire on de' Bayou where you can roast marshmallows!
The rates for Walt Disney World Resort vacation packages are typically released in the summer - sometime between June and August - for the following year. For example, last year's package rates were released on June 22, 2015. The 2015 package rates were not released until July 30, 2014. The 2014 package rates were also released in July. If the package release continues as it has in the past, we can expect the 2017 package rates to be released later this summer. Your best bet is to keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for updates on the release of the vacation packages.
Quick Tip: As you are planning your vacation, be sure to also keep an eye on the
Special Offers page on the Walt Disney World Resort website.
I hope I've helped with your planning, Margaret. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Wishing you many pixie dusted memories!
Erin
