What you need to know before you book a Walt Disney World Package!

So you've decided it's time to take the family to Walt Disney World. Where do you even start? 

What is amazing about a Walt Disney World package is that it can be customized to your needs. There are three main elements that are part of a Walt Disney World vacation package; resort room, theme park tickets and dining plan. As a Disney guest you can pick and choose what elements will suit your family best. 

​​Let’s look at the individual elements that you can combine to create your
BEST DISNEY VACATION EVER!! 

WALT DISNEY WORLD THEME PARK TICKETS ​​
​

Base Disney Theme Park Admission Tickets
​(Admission to 1 Park Per Day)
These tickets will grant you access to 1 of the 4 Disney theme parks (Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT) for each day purchased. 
 You will have in and out privileges to the same park the whole day!

Park Hopper Theme Park Admission Tickets
(Added Option to Base Tickets) 
If you upgrade to the park hopper tickets, you can move between all 4 of the Disney theme parks in the same day. 

Park Hopper Plus Theme Park Admission Tickets
(Upgrade Option to Park Hopper Option)
​With the park hopper plus option not only do you get same-day admission to all 4 Walt Disney World theme parks, you also get admission to Disney’s water parks and other fun Disney attractions for the number of visits equal to the length of your ticket. So, if you include 4-day park hopper plus tickets in your Disney Vacation Package, then you are entitled to four visits to any of the following Disney attractions: 


• Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park

RESORT ROOMS

On-site Disney resorts have several resort categories:

• Value 
• Moderate 
• Deluxe 
• Deluxe Villa Resorts 
• Campground

Each resort category has different levels of sub category. The deluxe category can range from lower priced options like the Wilderness Lodge and Animal Kingdom Lodge to the Polynesian Village Resort which is located across from Magic Kingdom on the monorail.

How to narrow down your resort choice? Consider these:

• Price
• Location
• Number of guests in the room
• Theme
• Amenities 
• Room View

Once you narrow down your choice of resort theme and location, you then have the option of picking your room type within each resort category. This is an overwhelming task, so we highly recommend using the advice of a Disney Vacation Planner that can guide you to the perfect resort. 

Another item you can add to your Disney World Vacation Package is Disney’s Memory Maker. 

Capture all those amazing moments at the park, special events and dining experiences. Memory Maker also allows you to take those candid shots available on select attractions like Frozen Ever After and Splash Mountain!

Did you know that you can reserve your entire Walt Disney World Vacation Package with just a $200 USD fully refundable deposit? Your Disney Vacation Specialist can continue to make changes to your booking as needed. You can modify your package dates, resort choice and even ticket options and there is no change  fee up until final payment. After final payment, which is due 30 days prior to your arrival date, you can still upgrade your package with no additional fees!
​
Your travel agent can also apply any eligible new promotions to your package after you have booked, provided there is a discount inventory available for your travel dates and resorts. 

Disney does make it so easy to build a vacation that’s just perfect for your family! There is no reason to wait to start making magical memories!
