Hey there, Hi there, Ho there, Barbara!
Welcome to planDisney and happy planning! I am so happy to hear about this big trip you are looking to plan with your friends. I’m a natural giver and spreading the magic of Walt Disney World with those you love is truly magic in itself. Fortunately, Walt Disney World does an incredible job of providing a great variety of Special offers.
It seems like you are planning for a holiday visit during the most magical time of the year, so hang tight on additional offerings. The
current offers are geared toward summer visits, and historically, winter offerings have been announced in late spring/early summer. Hopefully, soon, we will see those offerings come out so that you can find additional savings for this magical trip. As a
Florida resident, you do have a few additional savings offered to yourself. I recommend checking those out because the way I see it is if you can save on your visit, then the budget can shift and be used towards your guests.
Another way to possibly save is by rooming together! I recommend taking a look at the family suites at
All-Star Music or
Art of Animation. These rooms are large enough for six guests and allow you to take advantage of all the other
resort benefits. One of my favorites is Early Theme Park Entry. Especially since we are a family of early risers, we like to be there the minute the theme park opens so this is one of our favorite benefits.
Barbara, I hope this helps guide your planning. I recommend beginning to
price things out so that you can get a general idea of the overall cost. Keep your eyes on the Walt Disney World official website and the
Disney Parks Blog for announcements of additional savings. Once you find one that aligns with your dates, that’s when you’ll want to book. In the meantime, please let us know if there’s anything else we can help with.
See ya real soon,
Shantel
