Amy's Top 10 Benefits to Staying at a Disney Resort

4/6/2016

Amy - Amy@clickthemouse.ca

I will admit it: I’m a certifiable Disney addict. You could offer me a free suite in Orlando “just minutes from Walt Disney World” and I’m still going to choose to pay for a modest room on Disney property every time. Why? Here are just 10 of the reasons: 
  1. Magic Your Way Vacation Packages – Enjoy the peace of mind of knowing how much your trip will really cost. Pay one price for tickets, dining, and accommodations before traveling. The only out of pocket expenses are discretionary spending and the tip portion from table service meals. This avoids the daily sticker shock of having to pay out of pocket to dine at Disney.
  2. Disney’s Magical Express – Disney resort guests receive complimentary coach bus service to and from the Orlando International Airport. No need to fly with car seats. 
  3.  Luggage Services – Disney guests can bypass luggage claim at Orlando International Airport and head straight to Magical Express check-in. Approximately 3 hours after landing, luggage is delivered right to your room and you don’t even have to wait around for it. When it’s time to check out, most guests flying within the U.S. can take advantage of Resort Airline Check-in. Check your bags at your resort and they’ll be waiting for you when you arrive at your home U.S. airport.
  4. No Rental Car or Parking fees – All transportation around Walt Disney World is complimentary to resort guests. If you do have a car, parking is free. Off-site guests pay $20/day to park. Also note that Disney's Transportation brings guests to the front gates of each park. No half mile walk from the parking lot just to get to the front gate. No need to allow for an extra hour to park at the Ticket and Transporation Centre and wait in line for a ferry or monorail to get to Magic Kingdom.
  5. 10-day Head-start on Dining Reservations – While anyone can book dining reservations 180 days ahead, only Disney resort guests get to book up to 10 days of dining past that 180 day mark. This is crucial for those nearly impossible to get reservations like Be Our Guest and Cinderella’s Royal Table at Magic Kingdom.
  6. First Dibs at Fastpass Selection – Off-property guests can book fastpasses 30 days before their visit and must reserve them one day at a time. Disney resort guests can book 60 days in advance and choose all their fastpasses on the 60 day mark for up to 10 days out. This is the key to getting hot fastpasses like the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train,  Frozen Ever After, Soarin' and Toy Story Midway Mania. 
  7. Extra Magic Hours – Every day, one of the four Disney parks opens one hour early or stays open up to two hours after closing time for Disney resort guests and guests of select hotels on Walt Disney World property only.  This is especially helpful during the busier times of the year, allowing guests to experience attractions with much shorter lines.
  8. Afternoon naps or swim breaks are feasible – When the sun becomes too hot and little ones (and big ones!) get tired and cranky, Disney resort guests can hop a bus or monorail back to their resort for a swim or nap – or both. Returning to an off-property resort is generally so time-consuming that it’s impractical to leave and return to a Disney park in the same day.  
  9. More time at the parks – Many off-property guests find themselves cutting their park days short and missing the spectacular evening entertainment. They either need a break from park time or wish to cut costs by preparing their own meals back at the condo.  For Disney resort guests, faster access to the parks, extra magic hours, proximity for afternoon breaks, and Disney dining plans all add up to more time at the parks.
  10. “The Disney Bubble” – There is just something magical about remaining on Disney property for your entire trip. You feel safe and sheltered from the rest of the world. Disney Cast members at all levels (aka “staff”) make your feel special from the moment you step off the Magical Express and are greeted with, “Welcome home!”  Many of us Disney addicts are just as in love with the Disney resorts as we are the parks.

Doing Disney The Smart Way

24/11/2014

So you’ve finally decided to take the family to Walt Disney World for a magical and memorable vacation.  Just book your trip on line or with your local travel agent and that should be it, right? 

Well, you’ve got a big surprise waiting for you when you arrive.  A truly amazing Walt Disney World vacation takes planning and budgeting, and you won’t figure this out until you get there and it’s too late. I’ve been to Walt Disney World over 40 times and always seem to learn something new with each visit. Vacation cost is extremely important for most of us, so I would like to share some very important money saving tips with you.

*Take advantage of money savings by waiting for special offers. Traditionally, Disney offers many yearly discounts to Canadians. Some of the discounts that have been offered in the past are “free dining”, usually in late August to September, “free ticket upgrade and discounted room rates” for early January to mid-February, and discounted room rates are usually offered in the late spring. 

*Stay on site at a Disney owned resort: you will get free transportation to and from the Orlando Airport with Disney’s Magical Express© and access to all Walt Disney World© transportation systems throughout the resort.

*Once again stay on site at one of the 22 Disney owned properties. There are many benefits while staying on site and Disney is the best at making you feel special. You will be immersed in the magic 24 hours a day and can stay anywhere from a value resort or campground to the award winning Grand Floridian Resort and Spa©. Resort guests are privileged to get Extra Magic Hours© which gives you entry into the parks before opening and late entry to the parks after closing. This is a benefit you can’t pay for!

*Use a Disney Specialist Travel Agent (not an employee or affiliate of the Walt Disney Company©). Of course we reccommend www.clickthemouse.ca! You will pay the same price whether you book your trip on your own or through an agent. Disney trained specialists are graduates of The College of Disney Knowledge© and some have even taken Agent Education Programs on site. Here’s the benefit to you; they will plan your trip, make advanced dining reservations, create itineraries for you, offer you tips and apply discounts to existing reservations. You would have to pay the long distance fees to make your own advanced dining reservations or any changes to an existing reservation. Let the expert work for you while you save money. 

*Search the internet for discounts. Flights, cars, even Disney discounts are out there if you know where to look. I’ve saved thousands of dollars by flying out of the U.S. and by using discount codes for car rental. 

*See Disney during slow periods. Traditionally there is lower attendance during specific times of the year. Discounts are usually offered at those times to draw guests down the Walt Disney World©. The best times to visit with low attendance are January 2 to mid-February, the day after Labour Day until American Thanksgiving (last 3 weeks of September are the best) and the first 2-3 weeks of December. This will help you pack in two weeks of fun into one if you visit during less crowded times, that’s huge savings!

*If you have a vehicle with you while staying on site, here is a tip to help maximize your time at Walt Disney World©. You can drive from park to park and get FREE PARKING! This is a benefit to Walt Disney World© resort guests that is not very well known. Waiting for the bus system can be time consuming, so if your geared up to see the most you can, drive to the parks.

*Book the Disney Dining Plan because it is a great deal. You will get more than your money’s worth on a great selection of counter service meals, snacks, dine in restaurants and dinner shows. 

*Which park tickets to buy? If you decide to go more than once in the year or longer than 11 days, consider purchasing an Annual Pass. Special discounts are offered to pass holders which include food and resort stays.
