Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Samantha! I have paced myself quite often when paying for my Walt Disney World vacations, whether with Disney gift cards I have thoughtfully saved, or my paying my travel agent in chunks. It makes my end goal so much more attainable!
You can easily pay for your vacation with a simple down payment (often $200) and subsequent installments when you purchase a
Magic Your Way Package. Here, you can choose a room, dining plan, tickets, etc. to fit your vacation style and your budget. I typically use my travel agent, Joy, when I need something like that since she’s so helpful! As far as booking rooms go, I book a single room using the
My Disney Experience online system, or if I need two rooms, I once again contact my travel agent or call (407) WDISNEY to speak with a Cast Member. If you have 6 guests in your party, you may be interested in
Disney’s All Star Music Resorts Family Suites, which sleep 6 guests and offer a kitchenette in clean, sleek style. I recently stayed at
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort in a Family Suite, which also sleeps 6 guests, but offers two full bathrooms as well. This resort is a “value plus” resort and has so much beautiful theming you’ll feel like you’re really driving around Radiator Springs or swimming underwater with Nemo and friends.
If I can help you further with your vacation plans, please let me know! I’ll be around collecting purple shells with Dory, if you need me. Just keep swimming! ~ Lindsey P.
