Walt Disney Resorts is offering Florida Residents a summer spectacular special this year, just in time to partake in their largest celebration ever, the “Happiest Celebration on Earth”.

Florida residents can save nearly 30 percent off the non-discounted price of the “Magic Your Way Package Plus Dining” – a Walt Disney World vacation that includes hotel room, theme park tickets and dining – all for one great rate. This special must be booked by July 19th, 2005 and is based on adult double occupancy in a standard room. With the “Florida Resident Stay, Play and Dine Package,” for $255 per adult, Florida residents receive:

  • Three nights at a select Walt Disney World value resort.
  • Admission to a Walt Disney World theme park on each of three days.
  • The Disney Dining Plan, providing one counter-service meal, a select snack and one table-service meal per person, per night of the package. Guests can choose from more than 100 select Walt Disney World restaurants.
  • For those guests arriving by air at Orlando International Airport, Disney’s Magical Express service, providing complimentary round-trip ground transportation and luggage delivery to their rooms.
  • Plus other benefits, like Extra Magic Hours, in which one of the four Walt Disney World theme parks opens one hour early or stays open up to three hours later, allowing extra time in the parks to experience select attractions.
Broken down, this comes to $85 per night/per adult, Florida residents can stay, play and dine at Walt Disney World for three days and nights. Guests on this package can add up to two children in the same room for only $105 per child (ages 3-9) – just $35 per child/per night – or $129 per junior (ages 10-12) – just $43 per junior/per night.

A Florida-resident family of four can enjoy a three-day, three-night Walt Disney World vacation – including accommodations at a Disney Value Resort, theme park tickets and the Disney Dining Plan – for as little as $720.

The “Florida Resident Stay, Play and Dine Package” is good for stays most nights from Aug. 21-Oct. 4, 2005; however, the number of packages available is limited. Travel must be booked by July 19. Guests can also ask about special pricing on packages with other lengths of stay or packages at Disney moderate- or select deluxe-category resorts.

The “Happiest Celebration on Earth” is an 18-month event celebrating 50 years of Disney theme park magic that started with the 1955 opening of California’s Disneyland. Guests to the Florida Vacation Kingdom this fall will find incredible new experiences imported from Disney parks around the world for the “Happiest Celebration on Earth.”

  • At Epcot: Soarin’, a breathtaking flight over the golden landscape of the Golden State of California.
  • At Disney-MGM Studios: Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show, taking guests into moviemaking and the high-revving world of stunt car driving.
  • At Magic Kingdom: Cinderellabration, a magical musical stage show filled with the pomp and pageantry of Cinderella’s coronation.
For more information or to book the special fall travel offer, guests can call The Walt Disney Travel Company at (407) 939-7713 or their travel agent and ask for booking code YMT. Starting June 17, guests can book online through www.disneyworld.com.
