Hey there, hi there, ho there, Christina! You're as welcome as can be here at
planDisney. I love this question, because the answer is such a happy one. You can absolutely start planning your magical vacation right now. A Christmas trip to
Walt Disney World is pure magic, and getting an early start is the best gift you can give yourself, especially with a larger group like yours.
If you're the kind of person who enjoys being hands-on, the easiest place to begin is directly on the Walt Disney World website. Right at the top of the page, you'll find the section where Disney lets you build your vacation from scratch. Once you enter your travel dates, party size, and general preferences, the site will guide you through everything step by step. You'll be able to explore all of the
Disney Resorts Collection hotel options that fit your group, compare room types, choose theme park tickets, and even add in those little magical extras that make a Christmas trip feel extra special.
What I love about this process is that it lets you see everything laid out in one place. You can play around with different resorts, see how pricing shifts with room categories, and decide what makes the most sense for six adults and two children, whether that's convenience, theming, transportation, or space. Nothing is locked in until you're ready, so it's a great way to get a feel for what your ideal trip could look like.
If, on the other hand, you'd prefer a little guidance or want someone else to handle the details, working with a local Travel Agent who specializes in Disney vacations is a wonderful option. They can help you narrow down resorts, explain seasonal differences during Christmas, and keep track of important booking windows, all while tailoring the trip to your group's needs.
Christina, no matter which route you choose, you're starting at exactly the right time. Christmas at Walt Disney World is incredibly popular, but with early planning, you'll be setting yourself up for a trip full of joy, lights, music, and unforgettable memories. I'm so excited for you and your family, and if you need help along the way, I'm always here.
Warm hugs,
Ana Paula
