You came to the right place to get started with your planning!
The first recommendation that I have is to check the
Disney Park Pass calendar! This helpful planning tool will show when the Disney Parks have availability! If you find that your “must-do” parks don’t have availability during your planned travel dates, then you might want to consider visiting at a time when the parks are available!
The next part of planning is selecting a resort hotel! When I visit “the magic” I like to stay in the magic! I always select a hotel in the
Disney Resorts Collection! There are resort hotels for different family budgets! I love Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Coronado Springs - Gran Destino Tower, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, Disney’s Riviera Resort, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa! To make a reservation, start at the "Places to Stay" tab on the Walt Disney World Resort website! You'll be prompted to share your travel dates, number of people in your party, and their ages.
Loree, be sure to check out the money-saving deals on the “
Special Offers” page of the Walt Disney World Resort website! There are usually some seasonal offers that might help you settle upon your travel dates while also saving some money!
