Walt Disney World Resort! You are sure to make awesome memories at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
Here at

We would be happy to answer any and every planning question you have! From planning in the beginning to the day you checkout and everything in between!
When my family and I start planning, my first step is to jump on the Walt Disney World
website and use the Build Your Vacation tool at the top of the Walt Disney World Resort homepage. There you are able to enter your vacation dates, total number of adults and children (if any) in your party and you can search all resorts or just one if you have a favorite. You are then able to see the cost per night and can select the package option. The page will then populate the total cost of resort and tickets. Before checking out, you'll be able to select a base ticket or the Park Hopper Option!
That being said,
Disney's Contemporary Resort is my family's absolute favorite! If you're looking to stay close to the parks, you can't beat this resort! It boasts its own walking path to
Magic Kingdom Park, providing a convenient alternative to the monorail and bus services. Speaking of which, my kids love the monorail, which passes right through the center of the resort! The dining options here are fantastic as well. One of my favorites is
Chef Mickey's, where you can enjoy a delightful character dining experience with a buffet and visits from Mickey Mouse and friends.
Susan, I hope you find this information helpful as you prepare for an exciting visit to Walt Disney World Resort! Please feel free to
reach out to me directly with any specific questions you may have. I would love to help! Thank you again for visiting planDisney. Have a magical day!
