Disney Vacation Packages

June 16, 2009 - 5:04 am

Every year the Disney World Resorts offer different vacation packages, as well as discounted packages you can find through travel agencies or online venders.  There are a lot of options to choose from, so it’s best to know what you want before you go.  You should plan out what you would like included in Disney vacation packages and what is not completely necessary.

Currently Walt Disney World is offering several packages that generally stay close to the same year after year.  The prices may change or the benefits might shift slightly, but it will likely be close to the same thing.  The current packages are the Magic Your Way Package, Magic Your Way Plus Quick Service Dining, and Magic Your Way Plus Dining.  All of these packages include accommodations although the prices and location will vary.  The accommodations will vary from a Value Resort Package to a stay in a Deluxe Villa.  The prices for all vary based on the Disney vacation packages you choose, and the length of time you stay will alter this as well.   All packages offer accommodations at any level of hotel room all the way up to a deluxe villa.

Other features these packages share are park tickets and a park hopper pass with no expiration date.  So the park hopper pass can be used the length of your stay, not just on one or two days.  Transportation to and from the airport are included in all three as well.  Finally, with any of these Disney vacation packages you will enjoy extended park hours and the ability to send your souvenirs straight to your room after purchase.

Where these three differ is in the food provided to you.  In the Magic Your Way package, you are responsible for all your own food and beverage.   The Quick Service Dining will include 2 quick-service meals and 2 snacks daily.  The Plus Dining package includes one table-service meal, one quick-service meal and one snack daily.  You also have the option of having a bottle of wine delivered to your room nightly with the Plus Dining package.

These are just the options you have through the Disney World resort itself.  If you book rooms with other hotels in the area, you can sometimes find packages that include Disney tickets or discounted park tickets.  It is always worth the effort to ask if the hotel offers any specials like this before you book your room.  They will likely not offer it to you outright, and it would be a shame to miss out on the offer.  Always check with a travel agent as well.  They will know of all the best offers and the most current so that you will get the most from your vacation.
