New Summer 2011 Walt Disney World Deal Offer
NEW DISNEY WORLD DEAL, BUT ONLY FOR FORT WILDERNESS CAMPSITES, DELUXE RESORTS, AND DVC VILLAS
Disney World has announced a new discount deal covering dates through August 14, 2011.
The deal applies only to the Campsites at Fort Wilderness, Disney’s deluxe resorts and Disney Vacation Club resorts.
It’s broken into two parts:
- For travel dates “most nights” between 4/22/2011 and 6/14/2011,
- For travel dates “most nights” between 6/15/2011 and 8/13/2011,
There’s two different “book by” dates, which don’t exactly correspond to the deal dates–travel from 4/22 to 5/28 needs to be booked by April 30, 2011; travel from May 29 through August 13 needs to be booked by May 28.
THE NEW DISNEY WORLD DEAL FOR LATE APRIL THROUGH MID JUNE 2011
The first part of the deal, covering “most nights” between 4/22/2011 and 6/14/2011, needs to be booked by April 30 2011 for travel dates through 5/28/2011, and by May 28 for travel dates after 5/29.
This deal includes discounts of
- 10% at the Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort
- 20% at the Animal Kingdom Lodge and the Polynesian
- 25% at the other Deluxe resorts
- 30% at the Disney Vacation Club resorts
The value and moderate resorts are excluded from this deal, as are suites and “three bedrooms.” This last clearly applies to Grand Villas; I’m not sure if it applies to the Treehouses…if you know, let me know using the comment form below!
THE NEW DISNEY WORLD DEAL FOR MID JUNE THROUGH MID AUGUST 2011
The second part of the deal, covering “most nights” between 6/15/2011 and 8/14/2011, needs to be booked by 5/28/2011.
This deal includes discounts of
- 10% at the Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort
- 25% at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, Wilderness Lodge, and the Polynesian Resort
- 30% at the other Deluxe resorts and the Disney Vacation Club resorts
As in the first part of the deal, the value and moderate resorts are excluded, as are suites and “three bedrooms.”
This is a particularly good deal after July 16. Deluxe resort prices drop to near their lowest level of the year on July 17, 2011. Another 30% off of this is pretty nice!
For more on this deal, see the Walt Disney World website here.
