Simply put, a Disney package is a booking that has, at a minimum, a room reservation and theme park admission. You can add other components like dining and recreation, but Disney has some rules about adding those things. But in its most basic form a package is a resort room and theme park admission.
From there, your travel agent or the Disney agent will quote a price for what you're looking for. Your travel agent, or Disney, can then place a courtesy hold for you. It's really in your best interest to place that courtesy hold if you find something you're interested in. Availability can, and frequently does, change. What you found today may not be there tomorrow if you go back to try and book it. Be aware that no matter who places the courtesy hold, the names of the traveling guests will be required.
The length travel book publishers of the courtesy hold will depend on when you want to arrive. If you're within 14 days of arrival, Disney will not allow a courtesy hold. As a result, no travel agents are able to offer a courtesy hold either. If you're within 15 to 45 days of your requested arrival date, Disney will hold your request for 24 hours. If you're 46 or more days outside of requested arrival, you'll be able to hold the reservation for 7 days.
Once you've decided to book, Disney will require a deposit. We have to go back to the same timeline for the courtesy holds to know how much you'll owe. If you're within 45 days of arrival, Disney's going to require the entire balance of your package be paid in full. If you're 46 or more days from your requested arrival date, Disney will require $200, per room, to book. The remaining balance travel book publishers will be due 45 days prior to arrival.
Once you're paid in full, and you're about 30 days from arrival, Disney will print up your documentation. If you've booked directly with Disney, you'll get your documentation right from Disney. If you've booked through a travel travel book publishers agent, Disney will only send the documentation to the travel agent. You'll need to speak to your travel agent to find out if you have to pick up your documentation or if they'll mail it to you.
So the next thing on your mind is probably What's in the documentation? And the answer is an emphatic Not much! You will find a couple travel book publishers of vouchers, some souvenir luggage tags and not much else. You won't find theme park admission, dining vouchers, recreation vouchers or any of the big stuff. Why's that? A couple reasons. First if your documents are lost in the mail, Disney doesn't have to void any theme park admission. Second, travel book publishers you don't have to worry about forgetting that stuff! And third your theme park admission and dining recreation entitlements will all be coded to your Key to the World card when you check in. Here's what the documents will look like:
On your arrival date, once you've arrived at the resort (check out the Magical Express section on the DIS if you need information about transfers to your Disney resort), just show the cast member travel book publishers your photo ID. You don't need anything from your documents to check in. The cast member will go over your package with you to make sure that you'll be getting what you've paid for. They'll code everything you need to your Key to the World card. You're now ready to actually start your Disney vacation!
Charge card If you give the front desk a valid credit card when you check in, you will be able to charge purchases back to the room at most retail and dining establishments. This is truly an invaluable perk. You don't need to take a credit card with you into the parks. If you lose a credit card, it can completely ruin your vacation. However, if you lose your Key to the World card, just stop at Guest Relations at the parks or the front desk of your resort. They can immediately cancel your old Key to the World card. Guest Relations won't be able to issue a new one. Only the front desk can do that but you've blocked anyone from using the credit card. And you don't have to call your bank to try and get a replacement or scramble to try and figure out how to pay for anything for the rest of your vacation.
In most cases, if you need room and tickets, you'll DEFINITELY want to book a Walt Disney World package. The only exception would be for Annual travel book publishers Passholders and guests who are active travel book publishers duty or retired military . Since 2005, when Disney first introduced Magic Your Way packages, they've really made sure that packages get the bulk of the discounts. Even when a discount is offered on room only reservations, you can add ticketing and dining to complete your package while still keeping the discount on the room.
All packages will include those items no matter which you book. Everything from the luggage tags down are really just freebies thrown in by Disney and amount to absolutely no cash value when it comes to your package total.
Where it starts to get trickier is with the dining plans. The dining plans come in three types. Magic Your Way Package Plus Quick Service Dining, Magic Your Way Package travel book publishers Plus Dining and Magic Your Way Package Plus Deluxe Dining.
So what does Disney consider a quick service meal ? Well it includes an entr e (or combo meal, if that's offered at the restaurant where you're eating) and non-alcoholic travel book publishers beverage. If you're eating lunch or dinner, you also get a dessert.
And what about the snack? Well there's a whole bunch of different things that Disney considers snacks. Everything from a 20 ounce bottle of soda, to a piece of a fruit, to an ice cream bar. It's hard to say what a snack is, because snacks are really varied. A good place to look is the DISboards Restaurant Board . They have a running list of foods that have been confirmed as snacks on Disney dining plans.
And the refillable mug? What's that? All resorts have a self-service soda fountain. Without a dining plan, you can pay for a 16-ounce, insulated mug. You can then have as many complimentary refills in that mug at your resort as you'd like. You can refill it with Coke products, tea, coffee and hot chocolate. The mugs cannot be used at the theme parks.
So now that that's out of the way, you can start looking at whether or not this is a good idea for you. Take a look at the DIS Restaurant Database . It's a very powerful tool that will help you find exactly travel book publishers what you're looking for by searching on many factors. To get a listing of all quick service locations, select Quick Service travel book publishers in the Cuisine/Dining Type search field.
If you choose to, you may use your table service entitlements at counter service locations. It does not, however, work the other way around. (You cannot use counter service entitlements at a table service location).
The last of the three plans is the Deluxe Dining plan . Why are these three lumped together? That's a great question! When Disney offers a discount, you can usually take advantage of those discounts if you book room only, Magic Your Way, Quick Service, Plus Dining or Deluxe Dining. Since 2005, when the Magic Your Way packages debuted, I have, with only 1 exception, never seen a discount on premium and platinum plans. That's why the premium and platinum plans tend to separate themselves in discussion. Because they're almost never discounted.
What sets this plan apart from the Quick Service and Plus Dining travel book publishers plans is the way the credits are issued. With the deluxe dining plan, there's absolutely travel book publishers no distinction between a counter service meal and a table service meal. This plan provides maximum flexibility in that respect.
Foodies: If you're coming travel book publishers to Walt Disney World for the experience of the food, you may want to consider this plan. Prepayment of what can be some pretty pricey food at some establishments can be a very good thing here. It also allows you the freedom to order the most expensive thing on the menu, if you want it, and not have to worry about sticker shock when you get the bill.
Guests planning on doing a lot of table service meals that are considered signature dining: This sort of goes hand-in-hand with the Foodies group. If you like to eat at the signature dining locations, this can be a really wonderful plan. You can plan on a sit down breakfast in the morning, a light lunch of something using a snack credit, travel book publishers and then a signature travel book publishers dinner. I've done this myself.
For anybody else, this plan is almost certain to be too much food, too much money and require too much time. If you've got kids under the age of 10 just itching to get in line to ride Splash Mountain, the last thing you'll want to concern yourself with is waiting for a plate of spaghetti at Tony's Town Square. Or, just when you're travel book publishers ready to get in line for Soarin' at Epcot you've got to rush over to Le Cellier for your dinner reservation. You're going to feel like you're chasing the next restaurant and missing the rides completely.
The Premium and Platinum plans are for one group, and one group only. Those who want the luxury of prepaying travel book publishers everything and don't want to concern themselves with the cost of doing so. That second qualifier is truly important. travel book publishers Even for those guests who have no problem affording either of these plans, they're most likely a gigantic waste of money. You really have to want to give Disney your money, know everything is paid for, and not think about it any further. These plans include more entitlements than you could ever possibly use in a single vacation. The only exception might be someone who has seen and done it all at the parks, and is looking for something more. Let's dig right in, shall we?
One note with this plan is that all signature dining, the kind that would take 2 table service or meal entitlements on the Plus Dining or Deluxe Dining plans, will require only one meal entitlement on the premium plan.
With the Platinum travel book publishers Plan, you may use a meal entitlement travel book publishers to dine at Victoria Albert's. travel book publishers This is the only package to cover Victoria Albert's dining. Additionally, just like the premium plan no matter where you choose to eat, you will use only 1 meal entitlement.
Look at all of that stuff that's included travel book publishers with these packages travel book publishers and t
