DISNEY WORLD KIDS TICKET DEAL

Walt Disney World recently announced multiple deals covering various dates from May to December 2025.

One is a half-price deal for theme park tickets for kids for visit dates from May 27 through September 20, 2025.

Kids, as Disney World defines them, are folks between 3 and 9 years old (kids younger than 3 are free). Ticket prices vary by start date and length of ticket, but for the lengths most first time visitors will use, savings will be on the order of $200-$300 per child.

Several other new Disney World discounts and deals came out at the same time.

Of them, the same party can separately book both this kids ticket offer and also a room rate offer that can save an additional 10% to 30% per night off the cost of a Disney World hotel room. Room rate deals vary depending on hotel, dates, and length of stay. Because of huge differences between hotel costs in particular, the saving potential is wide. With the room rate deals, you can save between $25 and $250 a night per room….

For more on the 50% off kids offer, see this.

For the new room rate deal for dates between May 1 and July 31, see this.

• June 29 through September 30
• October 20 through November 1
• December 6 through December 22

You cannot combine either the kids ticket deal or the room rate deals with Free Dining.

The savings from Free Dining vary by family structure and type of hotel, but can easily range from $150 to $250/night.
