Around mid-March, crowds at Walt Disney World are very large as people choose to spend their Spring break at this popular destination. Early in the month, the crowds are low to moderate, becoming heavier later in March. For this reason, advanced bookings are highly recommended.
When is the earliest I can book?
Disney World accepts room-only reservations for Orlando hotels up to 499 days in advance. This means that now is the time to get booking for spring 2012. The spring prices have already been set (they came out in June 2011), so you can now book most amenities and tickets.
How can I get started on my reservation?
Don’t delay! Give Disney a call today to get the package and deals that best suit the needs of your family and your budget for spring 2012. Remember that your Disney vacation package needs to be paid for in full 45 days before you check in; and calling to make your reservation requires a $200 deposit. The balance of what you owe can be paid in monthly increments until it is paid in full, so the longer you wait to make a reservation, the shorter the time you will have to pay for your holiday. For this reason, it is best to make reservations at least 6 months before your holiday (now!).
Disney World is able to quote and book 2012 Spring Break packages, and have upped their availability during this busy time, so there may still be space left for you to enjoy a dream holiday.
Helpful hint
When you book your Disney hotel, be sure to buy tickets for the theme park at the same time. Often you get special discounts and perks, such as a round of mini-golf, or a certain percentage off. This also saves you having to wait in long lines at the theme park entrance.
