World Trip Planner

Would you like to make magical vacation memories at Walt Disney World Resort? All you have to do is find a travel agent who specializes in Disney’s “Magic Your Way” packages
and tell him/her what you want. Your package will include a number of items for
your Walt Disney World get-away.

Save Money With Vacation Packages

There are ways to save money by getting room only and package discounts at select Disney
hotels. Special discount codes can be researched on internet sites or by
calling 407-W-DISNEY and asking about discount options. A Number of travel
agents that specialize in Disney specials will have access to these special “mouse
discounts”. On occasion you will have to pay a deposit of one night when you
book your Disney experience. Of course, some dates may be blacked out but for a
great discount, who cares?

Using A Travel Agent

Working with travel agents is helpful and it is no cost to you to use them. Disney travel
agent can help you negotiate all the details with planning a Disney’s “Magic
Your Way” vacation package at Walt Disney World Resort. Search for a travel
agency that is trained in selling Disney vacation plans and is an “Authorized
Disney Vacation Planner.”  A travel agent will give you his/her undivided attention and the best deals available.

Tips on Choosing an Agent

Select an agent who will send your money directly to Disney. On that note, make your check out to Disney and not to the agent.  Sadly, a number of families have lost their deposit by working with dishonest agents.

Pay for your trip with a credit card. This gives you buyer protection in fear that something
happens.

Discount Information

Discounted “Room Only” rates are offered on specific dates and at certain resort properties. You can save up to 35% on a number of Disney World properties.

Bounce Back Discounts are offered to you when you check out from your current Walt Disney
World Resort vacation. The idea is to get you to go ahead and book your next
Walt Disney World trip while there on the premises. You have to make the
reservation before you check out but if you don’t get a “Bounce Back” brochure
in your room, check on the ‘in house’ channel or ask at the hotel desk.

Florida residents get special discount offers throughout the year.

“Florida Neighbors” discounts are offered to residents of South and North Carolina,
Georgia, and Alabama.

Value Season

Walt Disney World continuously adjusts the dates of Value Season and the number of days in
the season for all of resort rooms.  Check with your agent for details — going to Disney during the value season not only saves money but can help you see more smaller crowd levels.

Tickets and Passes

Of course you might want to order your tickets ahead so that you won’t be spending valuable
time waiting in line at the theme parks or water parks.

Discount tickets are usually attainable from brokers who buy the tickets to offer them
as a premium when selling condos or apartments in the area. Don’t spend your
vacation time listening to a high-pressure sales pitch for buying a property
you probably don’t want and can’t afford.

When choosing your ticket consider the number of days you will be vacationing with Walt Disney World Resorts and purchase accordingly.  For multiple day visits it is suggested that you upgrade to the “no expiration” option as well as the “park hopper” option. Add a “Fun and more” option for activities like golf, Disney Quest or a water park.

Enjoy Full Fun Without Paying A Full Price

There is no reason to pay full price for a Walt Disney World Resort ‘Magic Your Way’ family
vacation when you can get large discount offers that will make your trip cost
less. You could even save a decent amount of money to have the opportunity to
spend an extra day or two.
