Hi! Thanks for all the good info on Disney. I’m going to be heading there in June 2025 but with the changes to FS and vacation packages, I find myself a little confused about whether the Vacation packages are worth it? I read somewhere that the unlimited rides in FS would not be part of the VPs anymore? Another option could be to try to book a room only at the FS hotel or is that not even much of a perk since FS is now open? What are your thoughts? Thanks for any insight!
Hi Zoe, it’s really a matter of personal choice.
It comes down to paying an extra couple of thousand also for the convenience of pre-selecting things like ride passes and restaurants.
As far as fantasy Springs goes, there was a huge advantage with the unlimited passport For people purchasing a fantasy Springs VP or staying in the fantasy Springs Hotel however that all ends in April 2025 and it reverts back to normal VP privileges. So you could basically stay at any Disney hotel and choose fantasy Springs rides as your special passes.
If you’re travelling on a budget, then you can do your trip without a VP but , of course you’ll have to put in extra effort when it comes to rides.
