8. Book early, and with Disney directly or a travel agent
Booking your resort stay early is especially important if you plan on visiting the Walt Disney World Resort during a busy time of year like school vacation weeks, 4th of July, Christmas, or marathon weekends. Worried you’ll miss out on a later discount? Don’t be-- Disney will honor discounts that come out after you book, you’ll just need to call the reservation hotline and ask for the discount to be applied to your reservation. For even more help in tracking and applying discounts, use a travel agent that specializes in Disney trips-- they will keep track of discounts for you and make planning your trip a little bit easier.
