I’m a big fan of all things Disney and one of my favorite places to vacation is at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. It looks like Disney has some great offers coming up in 2009 that I thought I’d pass along to our readers. Below are full details of these offers, along with a promo video.

Celebration Vacation 2009

The first cool offering is the “Celebration Vacation,” where in 2009, if you visit the World Disney World Resort in Orlando or the Disneyland Resort in California on your exact birthday, you get entry into one of the theme parks for free! On your birthday, present a valid ID that includes proof of birth date and gain entry to that particular park (so, if you go to the Magic Kingdom, you gain entrance there). Guests who already hold a valid multi-day ticket that they’ll use on their birthday may choose from other birthday treats instead. To register your birthday and find out more details, visit www.disneyparks.com.

Walt Disney World Vacation Package Savings in 2009 – Buy 4 Nights and Get 3 Nights Free

Another offer for select dates in 2009 is a discounted vacation package where guests can purchase a 4-night stay at Disney World in Orlando and get 3 nights for free, which includes theme park tickets (see full list of dates, prices, and details here below).

Guests who buy a four-night/four-day non-discounted Walt Disney Travel Co. Magic Your Way hotel and ticket package for stays most nights from Jan. 4 to April 4, 2009, and April 19 to June 27, 2009, will receive three extra nights of hotel accommodations and three more days added to their theme park tickets for free.

As a bonus, guests traveling on this package from Jan. 4 to March 29, 2009, will also receive a free $200 Disney Gift Card to splurge on merchandise, dining or other Disney fun.

With this special offer, a family of four can get a 7-night stay at a Disney Value Resort and a 7-day Magic Your Way base ticket for each family member for as little as $1271. The package can be booked now through Dec. 20, 2008.

A Look at Prices and Savings for this Walt Disney World Special Offer for a Family of Four

Guests traveling between 1/4/09 and 3/29/09 can save an additional $200 with the free $200 Disney Gift Card included with the package. One gift card per reservation provided at check-in.

How to Book Your Walt Disney World Vacation Package

Guests can book this special offer starting Nov. 7 online at disneyworld.com/get3free or by calling 407/W-DISNEY (407/934-7639) or their local travel agent and asking for package code RWZ.

Guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels get an extra dose of pixie dust with great perks and services including: Complimentary on- property transportation; Disney’s Magical Express, which offers complimentary airport shuttle and luggage delivery; and Extra Magic Hours, where each day one of the Walt Disney World theme parks opens one hour early or stays open up to three hours later, providing extra time in the parks to experience select attractions.

“What Will You Celebrate?”

Guests taking advantage of this offer will find even more to celebrate during their stay. Beginning in January, Disney Parks will embrace a newly identified nationwide travel trend called “celebration vacations,” in which Americans mark special occasions in their lives with a family vacation.

In 2009, Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort ask guests “What Will You Celebrate?” and lead this growing trend with new entertainment and services that allow guests to turn their personal milestones – a birthday, an anniversary, Quinceanera or any special occasion – into magical Disney experiences.

At Walt Disney World Resort, guests can add on to the fun, choosing from more than 200 experiences ranging from breathtaking (magical fireworks cruises, sunrise safaris, diving the depths with undersea creatures) to mirth- making (Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, character dining, kids’ pirate adventures).

Walt Disney World Resort also has added new attractions and entertainment offerings over the past year and more great things are in store for 2009. New signature attractions like Toy Story Mania! and traveling entertainment like Block Party Bash have become Walt Disney World guest favorites. Plus, new excitement is popping all over the vacation kingdom, including the new Pixie Hollow area at Magic Kingdom where guests can meet Tinker Bell and her friends from the new Disney “Fairies” movie and the new Kim Possible interactive adventure at Epcot.

In early 2009, the addition of the American Idol Experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will allow guests to live the dream of becoming part of the “American Idol” phenomenon. This exhilarating new attraction will feature the glitz and glamour of the hit television series’ stunning set and will give guests an opportunity to experience the thrill as if really at the show.
