5 Best Packages on Disney World Vacation
By Simon Oliver
For vacationers, a trip to Disney World is always enticing, but now
more than ever, people are clamoring for Disney’s vacation
packages. Compared to past rates, which were criticized for actually
being higher than the cost of buying components of a package
individually, today’s vacation deals are not only convenient – but
economical too.
There are several different vacation packages to choose from for
2006. The 2006 Magic Your Way Vacation Package is the most
affordable and it includes accommodations at the Disney Resort, the
Magic Your Way Base Ticket (which grants entrance to one theme
park per day and can be upgradeable to a “park hopper” ticket as
well), and a Magic Plus option or with an extra cost, a No Expiration
option.
Likewise, if you (or your travel agent) books a package online, a
Disney Photopass will accompany it, and is essentially a voucher for
a 5” x 7” photo of you and your fellow vacationers, snapped by a
professional photographer. Other goodies that you can qualify for
online include a meal voucher for Planet Hollywood Dining and
Merchandize. The voucher can be exchanged for an entrée and non-
alcoholic beverage from a select menu.
Another vacation deal is the 2006 Magic Your Way Package Plus
Dining and it includes accommodations to Disney owned and
operated hotels and the opportunity to experience several unique
dining locations across the Walt Disney World Resort. Every day, at
participating Walt Disney World restaurants, you can receive one
table service meal with an appetizer, entrée, dessert, and non-
alcoholic beverage, one counter service meal with entrée, dessert
and non-alcoholic beverage, and one snack (ice cream, popcorn,
medium soft drinks, etc).
Disney’s Magic Your Way Premium Package is a fancier, deluxe
package and includes just about everything: hotel accommodations,
breakfast, lunch, dinner, and unlimited access to golf, miniature golf,
water sports and other recreations. Also, purchasers of this package
are admitted to Cirque du Soleil’s exciting La Nouba, and various
park tours and the like. As well, children from four to twelve years old
can participate in selected resorts at the Disney Children Activity
Center.
The grandest package of all is Disney’s Magic Your Way Platinum
Package. In addition to the benefits of the premium package (like
hotel stay, breakfast, lunch, dinner, recreation, and a ticket to Cirque
du Soleil), you will also receive a spa treatment, extra recreational
opportunities – including private golf lessons, a reserved seat to the
exciting fireworks show Fantasmic!, unlimited childcare in the Child
Activity Centers, a ride on the Fireworks Cruise, itinerary planning
services, in-room child care, the Platinum Plan keepsake, and
turndown service.
For groups of eight or more, there is a special package called Grand
Gatherings. There are extraordinary benefits offered here that small
groups simply can’t take part in – special events can be booked, like
the International Dinner and Illuminations Desert Reception, Safari
Celebration Dinner, Good Morning Gathering, and Magical Fireworks
Voyage.
Nevertheless, an important thing to know is that standard full-price
Disney vacation packages presented by tour operators are
convenient, but there are no “bargain” prices. More often, Disney
World packages are to be purchased through Walt Disney Travel
Company or the WDTC.
