Disney World Vacation Packages - Happily Ever After

What Is a Disney World Vacation Package?

A Walt Disney World vacation package is a bundle that contains all of your Disney World products in one spot — your theme park tickets, on-site hotel stay and the option to add on the Disney Dining Plan or Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan. Simply put, a Disney World vacation package is your one-stop Disney World shop, with your lodging and admission all wrapped up with a bow. When purchasing a Disney World vacation package through Undercover Tourist, we make it easy to see your total cost — as well as savings and selections — throughout the process, no matter your budget. You can mix and match your ideal Disney resort, number of ticketed days and even add-ons, including Park Hopper or Park Hopper Plus options, all in one spot. No surprises.

Disney World Vacation Packages - Deal Comparison on Website

Even better, when multiple vacation package deals are running at one time, you can compare offers on our site. Plus, Undercover Tourist is hoppy to offer a flexible deposit option so you can book now and pay later. Pay a refundable $200 deposit to secure your Disney World vacay and pay the balance off 30 days before check-in.

Why Should I Purchase a Disney World Vacation Package?

Undercover Tourist has been helping customers plan amazing Disney World vacations for over 25 years. As an authorized ticket and hotel seller, you may be asking yourself, "Why should I book a Disney World package through Undercover Tourist?"

Disney World Vacation Packages - Ticket Selection

Same On-Site Benefits

Did you know that tickets and hotel stays purchased through Undercover Tourist are the exact same you'd get directly through Disney ... but at a discount? Your Disney World tickets and hotel stay can be entered into My Disney Experience, and you'll get the exact same on-site benefits you would from booking directly through Disney, including:

  • The ability to book your Advance Dining Reservations 60 days in advance of your stay, for the length of your stay
  • FREE on-site parking (at your Disney World Resort hotel and the Disney World theme parks)
  • Early access to Lightning Lane Pass selections for your length of stay (starting 7 days in advance)
  • Early Theme Park Entry, allowing you to enter any of the Disney World theme parks 30 minutes early, every day (with valid admission)
  • FREE Disney water park admission on your arrival day for summer 2026 guests (from May 26 to Sept. 8, 2026, at both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach!)

Disney Dining Plan Options

Disney World Vacation Packages - Dining Plan Options with Promos

When purchasing a Disney World vacation package, you'll have the option to add on a Disney Dining Plan. These popular meal plans can only be purchased as part of a Disney World vacation package.

Here is what is included with each Disney dining plan option — each member of your party ages 3 and over will receive the following per night of stay:

Quick Service Dining Plan

  • 2 quick-service meals
  • 1 snack/nonalcoholic drink
  • 1 Resort-refillable drink mug (for length of stay)

Disney Dining Plan

The challenge with packages is that we like to rent DVC points. In the past we have found that the savings on our room using DVC points has been the most cost effective option.

Always do it without the dining package. Walmart before hand has been a huge money saver. But packaging hotel and tickets is 100% worth it.
