2025 Disney World Resort Hotel Prices



By Dave Shute

2025 RESORT HOTEL PRICE SEASONS AT WALT DISNEY WORLD

The material below shows Walt Disney World resort hotel price seasons at different times of the year in 2025.

Resort prices can be almost twice as high during some periods as they are at others. The information on this page helps you identify lower and higher cost periods.

Disney has three price classes among its hotels: Value, Moderate, and Deluxe resorts. At all three classes, in 2025 the lowest prices go from early January into early February, and the highest prices are in the second half of December.  You can clearly see that in the chart, which shows average prices over the next seven days by arrival date from a sample of six Disney World resort hotels:

Another way to think about changes in pricing over the year is whether or not prices are below or above the year’s  average. The chart below takes three of the hotels from above (one from each price class) and also depicts their 2025 average price, as a dotted line.

As you can see on the chart, at all three price classes, 2025 Disney World resort hotel prices are largely at or below average from late April until early September, and mostly high-ish or above average from right before Presidents Day until the week after Easter, and then again from before Thanksgiving through the end of the year.

Beyond that things vary quite a bit by date and price class, especially in the summer and fall. All this is covered in detail later in this post, but to give you a quick way to assess, I’ve put together a Disney World resort hotel price heat map for 2025.

In the 2025 heat map, I’ve averaged “percent higher than the lowest of the year” across each of the resort classes. More red=higher prices, more green=lower prices. Yellow is in between.

Note, for example July in the heat map, which after the 4th shows light yellow in the values, green in the deluxes, and light green in the moderates. This difference is due to the differing effects of conventions on prices. All Disney hotels compete with the hundred thousand or so rooms elsewhere, and the deluxes in particular see their prices affected by convention business.  No sensible convention is in Florida from June through September, hence the lower prices in “deluxe”-type lodging across the market.  The values, in contrast, compete for family business year round, and the summer continues to be a convenient time for family vacations.

In the rest of the material below, I focus on the three price classes in turn. I compare 2025 hotel prices over the year for each hotel class to that class’s lowest price of 2025, its “value season” in parts of January and February.

Grouping of dates is based on “price seasons,” a grouping tool Disney World no longer makes public, but which can be identified analytically, and named (sorta) based on past practices. Disney charges based on the actual price of the actual nights, so if your visit straddles price seasons, you’ll pay the prices of each price season.

The charts average prices for each resort’s lowest-cost rooms over the next seven nights, by arrival date.  This eliminates what would be otherwise be incomprehensible bumpiness from Thursday/Sunday and/or Friday/Saturday upcharges. Within each price class, the charts show three different resorts. For exact prices by night by room type by date, see MouseSavers.com.
