Disney’s vacation packages offer the promise of peace of mind and luxury. Package rates may be lower than the list price for each component, but may include more components than you can possibly use. A good number of veteran vacationers tell us they love these packages, while others say they can find better prices by obtaining each element separately. Note that everyone in your room must be on the same package and plan. For more information and reservations, ask your travel agent, call 407-939-6244, or visit http://www.disneyworld.com. Below are the 2018 packages:

Note that the 2018 Disney Dining Plans now allow guests over the age of 21 to choose 1 alcoholic beverage (wine, beer, or mixed cocktail) with each quick service or table service meal. If you do not want alcohol, you can instead choose an artisanal milkshake, smoothie, premium hot chocolate, soda, coffee, or tea.
