Welcome to planDisney, Levy!
It would be my honor to help you plan your Disney vacation. Let's begin with the actual booking process. If you'd like to put a vacation package together, you have 3 options:
Option #1 — Book Through the Walt Disney World Website
You can
plan, price, and, if you're satisfied with everything, book your vacation
through the website.
Option #2 — Book Over the Phone
Speak directly to a Cast Member and they will be able to book accommodation and tickets for you, as well as answer any questions you might have. You can even let them know your budget and they can find something that meets your needs.
Option #3 — Use an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner
There are a number of no-fee agents who can help you plan your vacation (often even saving you lots of money in the process).
Whatever option you choose to go with, here are some things to consider in the planning process:
If your budget allows, I'd encourage you to stay at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel. There are a variety of options available to meet the needs of people on different budgets. With their detailed theming, unique storytelling, and world-class customer service, they really immerse you in the magic. Make sure you become familiar with all the
magical benefits that are available to Guests staying on property.
Like Anton Ego from Ratatouille, I don't like food, I love it! One of the many benefits of staying on property is the ability to make dining reservations up to 60 days in advance of your trip plus the length of your stay (up to 10 days). Since restaurants fill up quickly, this means that you are far more likely to reserve a table. With so many
amazing restaurants to try, you'll be spoilt for choice.
There are four Theme Parks and two Water Parks on property (although Blizzard Beach Water Park is currently closed for refurbishment). I'd suggest visiting as many of the four Theme Parks as possible. Magic Kindom Park is my personal favorite, but each is delightfully magical in its own way. Have a peek online and see all the amazing things to see and experience at each of the Theme Parks for the
50th Anniversary Celebration. Once you have purchased your tickets, you'll want to create a
My Disney Experience account. You can then make
reservations at the Theme Park(s) you'd like to visit.
Finally, at some point, you're going to want to download the
My Disney Experience Mobile app so that you can use the new (and free)
Disney Genie service. This will help you plan your day in a way that is catered to you and your family. I've written a
previous answer about the Disney Genie service that you might find helpful.
I hope all this information stands you in good stead, Levy. I'm sure you'll have a magical time. Always feel free to stop by planDisney again if you have any other questions. You can even

See ya real soon!
