    I want to stay in November at a Disney owned hotel but I want to know if there is a way to find availability by hotel instead of by dates as I have some flexibility.

    Hello, Anne!

    Thanks for visiting us at planDisney. I’m Shantel, and I’m more than happy to help. We are a military family, so most of our trips are booked pretty last-minute. So while we aren’t flexible with our dates, we are flexible with where we stay. There have been a few occasions where I have been able to shift dates right or left, and for that, I recommend grabbing a pen and paper.

    Unfortunately, there isn’t a calendar view of availability. Instead, you’ll have to plug in your dates and search. The good news is that you can either write everything on paper next to you (this is what I do). Or build a cart! 

    After signing into your My Disney Experience account, you can build your vacation package and add it to your cart. The best news is that you can do this for three different vacation packages, so that you can compare the three options on one page. I love this option because I can see the cost difference between resorts or dates and use that to decide what is the best option for my family. 

    You can also narrow down your dates by selecting an offer from the Special Offers page. These offers are usually date-specific, so depending on your resort selection, you can probably narrow down your search even more. Plus, booking with an offer means additional savings, which means more souvenir money! I’m kidding, slightly. I’m always willing to purchase a new souvenir. Which reminds me, pack an extra tote, just in case you end up going a little overboard on purchases. I’m sharing this from experience, trust me.

    Anne, I hope this helps answer your question. If you think of any resort must-haves or location preferences, let us know. We are always more than happy to help use your preferences to guide you to the ideal resort, location, theme park, or even restaurant! Until then, happy planning.

    See ya real soon,

Meet the Panelist: Shantel, Alabama

Hi ya Pals! I'm Shantel, an Army wife and mom of two. I grew up going to the parks, and now we're sharing that tradition with our kids. When I am not visiting the Walt Disney World Resort, I'm at home researching and planning for our next trip. One of my favorite things to do is search for new snacks to try, especially if they are Mickey shaped. I'm definitely living the dream my heart wished for! I cannot wait to answer your questions and help make your vacation even more magical!
