Disney World Discount for Much of February-June 2013 Coming Out Next Week?

By Dave Shute

ROOM RATE DISCOUNT COMING OUT JANUARY 3?

Update: This discount is out!  See this.

There’s good quality scuttlebutt out there that a new Disney World deal will be coming out on January 3, including from crack commenter Terri.

It will offer discounts of between 15% and 30% at most—but not all—the Disney World resort hotels for most dates 2/18/13-3/23/13 and 4/2/13-6/14/13.

Assuming the scuttlebutt is true, I’ll post about the deal next week, and also put links to it here.

If you have a Disney Visa card and go to “Disney Offers” on the Chase Website, you’ll be taken to a web page with the discounts. I called just now and got $350 knocked off my upcoming trip in April. YAY!!! Thanks for the heads-up, Dave!!!

I have a question related to getting the “deals” while still following your guidelines re: making the reservation 180 days ahead. How are both possible? It seems like the biggest discounts don’t get announced until 3-5 months in advance, which would mean that if I make the plans 180 days in advance I won’t be able to get the discounts. Correct? We’re looking at going in October or November 2013. Thanks! Jennifer

Jennifer there’s a couple of ways to do it. One is to wait, but make your dining reservations anyway. This costs you basically ten days of booking availability (because if you have a room, you can book, 180 days out from your arrival day, your first ten days at WDW.)

The other is to book now, but with a sharp eye on your cancellation date. If a deal comes out, you can either convert your existing reservation (if your hotel and arrival date are eligible) or cancel it and re-book a new eligible reservation, to the deal without penalty (so long as it’s before your cancellation date).

Hope this helps!!

Dave,
Is there any difference booking your hotel through somewhere like Bookit.com or orbitz.com, as far as being able to use the hotels extras. example(early entrance) I have noticed that I could get Art of Animation for 150.00 a night vs 191.00 through disney!

Thanks,
Pam

Hi Pam, no, there’s no difference in perks!
