Get the Best Discount on Your Disney Vacation

Are you looking to get the best discount on your Disney vacation? I have had clients refrain from booking their vacation because they are waiting for a specific discount to be released. I totally get that. We all are looking to get the most for our money, but often times this is not the best way to save money on a Disney vacation. Not only that, you could potentially miss out on that special restaurant or certain experience if you wait too long. Today, I will walk though a timeline of booking and how an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner like MickeyTravels is your best bet for saving money (and time!)

With the popularity of the Disney dining plan, it is ideal to book your vacation at least 180 days out. Doing this gives you the best chance of getting all of your dining choices. With that said, there certainly may not be any discounts running at the time you would need to book. Not a problem! Did you know that all it takes is a $200 deposit to book your Disney vacation?! The remaining balance is not due until 45 days prior to your vacation. That $200 will allow your Authorized Disney Vacation Planner (MickeyTravels!) to begin making magic by booking all of your wonderful dining, excursions, etc.

Worried the price won’t go down? As a vacation planner, I continually monitor all my client’s packages for new discounts. As a professional, I’ve learned from experience that the discounts often overlap, so even though you cannot stack discounts, one will always be better than the other! You may book with a “30% off room” and then later a “free dining” comes out. I can take out all the guesswork and just relay how much money I saved you by applying a new discount. There is no need for you to keep pricing it out; I will do it for you!

Worried that your dates might not match the discount dates? No problem, as long as you are 45 days out we can modify your package as needed to get the discount (assuming availability exists). For this reason, I advise clients to hold off on booking their airfare, since that is the piece that generally cannot be changed (at least without a hefty cost).

Another thing to note is that discounts are by room category. Waiting it out generally means that even though you can get the discount, you might have to pay for a higher room category. The “standard” rooms book up quick so you don’t want to waste your money on a view that is not important to you.

There are some MAGICAL discounts running RIGHT now!

Baby Care Centers are the BEST at Disney World!

I recently took my 7 month old to Disney World and I have to admit that this trip my favorite thing was the Baby Care Centers! They are located in all four theme parks and make a trip truly worry free for parents. I have been to Disney a every year for over 25 years and have never stepped in one (even while working there), so I was surprised how equipped they were. Here are some common concerns of traveling with babies and how Disney addresses these is a magical way!

Common Concerns:

Dirty Changing Stations – This was my biggest concern about traveling with a baby. Before the trip, I had only changed him once in a restroom. I was prepared with garbage bags as a barrier, lysol, wipes, etc. Little did I know that the changing stations are amazing! They are large like what you lay on at the doctors office and they put paper down for each kid. Many of the cast members cleaned between kids as well. Not only were they clean, but you had a ton of room so one person could easily change the baby with room for the diaper bag up on the station.

Where to nurse – As a nursing mom, I found it easier for me to use a cover and a bench in the park with an active 7 month old. However, for younger babies and if you are not comfortable on a bench, they have quiet nursing rooms equipped with plenty of rocking chairs. I did use this once and it was great.

Forgetting something – The centers were stocked with all the essentials! Beyond formula and baby food, they also had bibs, supplies for mom and dad, diapers, binkys, everything really. Luckily I didn’t forget anything, but if I did I would have been covered.

Where to feed or take a break – Something else I thought was great was the room with a tv and a bunch of high chairs. It was a great place to unwind and refuel with little ones. Another room was available with microwaves to warm up food or bottles.

We joked that this was our son’s favorite part of the trip. For some reason he was obsessed with the paper lining on the changing stations and kicked his feet and laughed the whole time.
