2026 Disney World Resort Hotel Prices
By Dave Shute
2026 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 2026. (For 2025 hotel prices, see this.)
Disney World resort hotel 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 the values and moderates, in 2026 the lowest prices are in two periods: early January into early February, and mid-August into early September. Prices at the moderates are also reasonable from the end of April into the lower-priced August period.
At the deluxes, prices are low all summer long, especially from early July through early September, with the very lowest prices of the year beginning mid-August.
While December 2026 prices are not yet out, the highest prices at all resorts will be in December, particularly the second half. Other particularly higher priced periods include from early February through Easter week (early April), and various shorter periods associated with major and Disney-defined holidays: Memorial Day, the 4th of July, the end of August, the beginning of October, the end of October/Halloween, and Thanksgiving week. Some variations to this are in the details below.
In the rest of the material below, I focus on the three resort hotel price classes of value, moderate and deluxe in turn. I compare 2026 hotel prices over the year through November (December prices are not out yet) for each hotel class to that class’s lowest price of 2026, typically in its “value season” in parts of January and February or “Value 2” season in later August.
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 (including taxes) for each resort’s lowest-cost rooms over the next seven nights, by arrival date. This averaging over seven nights eliminates what would 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.
