Disney World Package Deals
From LoveToKnow Themeparks
Disney World package deals make trips to the Magic Kingdom affordable enough for many families to enjoy. From included dining plans to discount hotel stays, check out the options below when you’re looking for a cheaper way to travel.
Quick and Affordable
Maybe you’re in Florida for other reasons than just Disney World, in which case you might be able to cash in on a deal that involves only a day or two spent with the mouse. These deals can also work for your family if you only have the time to visit one of Disney World’s parks.
SaveOnResorts.com
On the website SaveOnResorts.com. you can find Disney World package deals for as low as $340 per person. The package includes 4 days and 3 nights at a beautiful hotel, free shuttle to Disney World, and 2 adult one-day passes to one of the four main Disney World parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios). Note that these are “base” passes, meaning they are only good for one of the parks, and you must pay regular admission price for additional parks and days.
WDWPackages.com
Another helpful website for booking Disney World package deals is WDWPackages.com, which allows you to customize your own package for 2-7 day long getaways. You can also book packages by calling a toll free number and in some cases, your ticket payment is not due until a little over two weeks before your arrival date.
Classic Travel Plans
With certain hotels and the Disney World resort itself, you can find affordable deals for your family. Some feel these are more reliable than Internet businesses, and you have the advantage of working with companies that are seasoned pros in this region of tourism.
Marriott Vacation Club
The Mariott Hotel chain has been helping families find comfort away from home for generations, and they often offer special vacation deals for those traveling to the Orlando area in hopes of a little magic. With the Marriott Vacation Club Villas, you can enjoy up to 20 percent off normal rates and the package includes two adult 3-day base tickets to the four main Disney World parks.
Walt Disney World
Of course, you can always seek out deals at Disney World itself. Right now, the theme parks are offering free admission on every guest’s birthday, as well as a dining plan offer that can save a family of four over $600 when they stay at the resort for five days. Through Disney World’s official website, you can price your dream vacation with different preferences such as specific resort lodging, the aforementioned dining plan, and even special accommodations for those with physical disabilities who will be visiting the park.
What to Look For in Disney World Package Deals
With so many discount packages on the Internet and in advertisements, it can make your head spin. In this trying economy, families are looking for the best deal possible, and it can be easy to be deceived. Keep track of your travel options and bank account with these important tips.
Research Hotels
Before booking a hotel, go beyond looking at website pictures, as every business will present itself in the best light possible. Look at online reviews and ask friends and family who have traveled to the area to give you advice on potential hotel stays. You don’t want to book a one-star hotel without realizing it!
Examine Tickets
Disney World has a vast array of ticketing options, so make sure you know what comes with your selected package. Base tickets give you little freedom to explore the various parks found at the resort, while some packages (usually ones directly through Disney) will give you access to all parks including the two water parks, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach.
Hidden Fees
What are the hidden fees in your package contract? Hefty cancellation fees, service charges, and extra expenses to cover things not included such as rental car and meals, can quickly hike up your vacation price. Read the fine print before you commit. Disney World doesn’t have to be an overly expensive excursion for your family. Take the time to search for the perfect deal for your clan, and you are sure to come out with some impressive savings.
