Hi William,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for your question!
I love that you’re taking some time to “scout out” the Walt Disney World Resort ahead of your family vacation. You’ll be able to see things like how the
transportation works around the Resort or which
dining experiences are your favorites. If you haven’t already, create a My Disney Experience account and download the
My Disney Experience mobile app. The app is a super important part of your vacation because you can see maps, Theme Park wait times, make
Disney Genie+ Service Lightning Lane reservations and so much more!
When it comes to a ticket and hotel package versus just tickets, it truly depends on what you’re looking to get out of your vacation. Since you’re looking into staying at
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, the package route might be a better option since you’ll be staying on property at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel. This way you’re able to book your hotel and Theme Park tickets at one time. If you’re logged into your My Disney Experience account when purchasing the package, your information will be saved to your account and you’ll see it in the app.
If you’re traveling off the Walt Disney World Resort property to experience other attractions in Orlando, you’ll want to think about how to get there. There’s a rental car service right on property at
The Car Care Center where you can pick up a rental to do some exploring. You can also utilize ride share transportation (ex. Lyft) as well.
One final tip: As you’re thinking about your package, definitely check out the special offers so you can see what offers might be available during your trip! To access this information, just enter "Special Offers" into the search bar in the upper right corner of the
Resort website.
I hope this “Bit By Bryanna” is helpful as you prepare for your vacation later this year. If you have further vacation or planning questions, especially as you plan your trip with your family,
please feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to help!
The Magic Is Calling,
Bryanna
