Hiya, Cisto! Welcome to planDisney. We're happy you stopped by!
I'm so excited to hear that you're making plans to visit
Walt Disney World Resort early next year! To me, there's no better place to visit in the middle of winter than The Most Magical Place on Earth. Not only will you be able to hop on
thrilling attractions and enjoy some
delicious food, but you'll also be able to make memories that will last a lifetime. What could be better than that?
Cisto, you can book your vacation package easily through the
Walt Disney World Resort website! On the homepage, select your desired dates and number of Guests in your travel party, then click View Rates. Click on the
Disney Resorts Collection hotel you'd like to stay at, then select your room. On the next page, you'll be able to pick your theme park tickets, including the number of tickets and ticket type. When you check out, you'll be requested to pay a deposit to hold your reservation and your final payment will be due 30 days prior to your scheduled arrival.
Between the day you book your reservation and your final payment, you're welcome to continue to make payments on your vacation package. Personally, I like to pay a little each month so my final payment is as easy as bibbidi-bobbidi-boo! To make additional payments online, log into your account, hover your mouse over the
My Disney Experience tab, and click
My Plans. Scroll down to your reservation, where you should see a link that says "Make a Payment." Click that link and follow the prompts to make an additional payment! If you don't see that link once you've made your reservation, you can always
call a Cast Member to make a payment over the phone.
When you stay at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you'll be able to enjoy all of the
resort hotel benefits – like
Early Theme Park Entry! And don't forget to make your
advance dining reservations, too. If you're staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you can make your reservations 60 days prior to your arrival date for the length of your trip (up to 10 days).
If you have any other questions, please visit us again! We're so happy to help Guests just like you plan every step of their Walt Disney World Resort vacation. You can also keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog or tune into the
planDisney Podcast for even more helpful tips and personal advice!
You've got a friend in me,
