Hi Danielle,
Thank you for dropping by planDisney with such a great question. We love surprises that include a trip to see Mickey and Minnie Mouse!
Yes, there are great
vacation packages at the Walt Disney World Resort. My first suggestion would be to familiarize yourself with the website, search for
Special Offers, and then
build your vacation package online. On the homepage, you should see "Build Your Vacation" on the left-hand side of the screen, underneath the park updates. If you enter your travel dates and number of people in your party, you should be able to search all resort hotels and then build your vacation with theme park tickets.
Disney's Pop Century Resort is probably my favorite value resort hotel although I also love Disney's Art of Animation Resort as well. You can certainly request rooms next to each other or you may request connecting rooms. Requests, however, are not guaranteed. Once you make your reservation,
link that reservation in your
My Disney Experience account. After that reservation is linked, you should see it in My Plans. Prior to your arrival, I highly recommend that you do
online check-in and make room requests during that process. Or, if you are unable to make your specific request online, call 407-939-1936 to ask a Cast Member to make a note of a request on your reservation(s).
Although there are no payment plans available, when you book your reservation, you simply have to put down a deposit and then you will have a certain amount of time to pay off the remaining balance. So, you can create your own payment plan! I love being able to
make those payments online as well.
Danielle, once you have that reservation linked in My Disney Experience, be sure to make
Disney Park Pass system reservations for everyone in your party. And, I highly recommend making
advanced dining reservations. Park capacity may be limited, so keep an eye on the
theme park availability calendar. Last, but certainly not least, think about how you will reveal the big surprise to your family. And capture that moment on video! Check the operational updates and put those
super planning skills to the test as you get ready for your next
Incredible Disney Day!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
