Disney package vs disney hotel? -

Just curious. What all is included when you get a disney package ( at disney world ) ? And what all is included when you just book a hotel ?

In addition to the basic hotel amenities, the standard amenities you would get with any Disney resort include the following regardless of whether or not you book a vacation package:- Complimentary Airport Transportation and Luggage Transfer (Disney s Magical Express)- Complimentary Transportation to All Four Disney Parks, Downtown Disney, and Water Parks- Resort Lobby Concierge Desk (Park Tickets, Dining Reservations, Tours, etc.)- Extra Magic Hours (Extended Park Hours for Resort Guests Only at a Different Park Each Day)- Scheduled Recreational Activities at Each ResortThese are the different types of packages you can book with the Walt Disney Travel Company which is Disney s official vacation booking department:Magic Your WayThis is the most basic vacation package that includes your room and park tickets for the length of your stay. You can upgrade to Park Hoppers and/or Water Park Fun More Option tickets. The package also includes the following standard amenities that come with ALL the Disney vacation packages:Disney s PhotoPass CertificateSea Raycers by Sea Ray CertificateMiniature Golf CertificatePlanet Hollywood CertificateDisney Arcade Card (30 Minutes of Gameplay)Magic Your Way Plus DiningThis package includes your room, tickets, as well as the basic Disney Dining Plan. The Dining Plan is very popular as it can bring you big savings on food expenses during your vacation. The basic dining plan includes the following meals per person per day: 1 Table Service, 1 Quick Service, Snacks, and 1 Refillable Mug. Magic Your Way Plus Deluxe DiningSame package as above but with the Deluxe Dining add-on which allows you to dine at a sit-down restaurant up to three times per day instead of only once a day on the basic plan. This is more expensive but is a good plan if you can afford the difference and want to dine frequently at nicer sit-down restaurants. Magic Your Way Premium PackageThis is the most expensive package, it includes the best Dining Plan as well as extra features like preffered fireworks viewing, unlimited recreation, Cirque du Soleil tickets, a proffesional photogaphy session, VIP tours and programs, free childcare, and much more. If you pick this package then it is highly recommended that you stay at a Deluxe Resort as this its the highest-end package. There are other add-ons and packages, these are just the main ones. The best thing to do is browse online at http://www.disneyworld.com or call 407-W-DISNEY to speak to a vacation planner.Have Fun!
