Hello, Megan! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thanks for your question!
You and I are a lot alike! The moment I can start planning my next Disney Parks vacation, I am booking a hotel room, researching dining options, and daydreaming about all the fun we are going to have.
Vacation packages for 2019 should be available sometime this summer based upon past release dates. You will be able to book your theme park tickets, hotel accommodations, add character dining vouchers, and transportation from the airport all within one transaction. A $200 deposit is required at the time of booking a vacation package and then you can make payments in any amount and at any time as long as your package is paid in full 30 days before your arrival date.
You will want to keep your eye on the
Offers & Discounts page to see if a promotion is released that corresponds with your travel dates. At the Disneyland Resort, I have noticed that offers and discounts aren’t always released as far in advance as I would like. Sometimes if you have already booked a vacation package and a promotion later becomes available, you can apply it to your previously-booked reservation. Other times, it’s better to wait to book your package so you can take advantage of special savings. You will just need to explore your options once bookings become available for next year online.
Finally, as you continue to plan your trip, I hope you will return to the Disney Parks Moms Panel with any other questions you may have. We love helping Guests plan magical vacations to the Happiest Place on Earth!
