DISNEY WORLD FREE DINING DEAL FOR MOST DATES LATE MAY THROUGH EARLY AUGUST

At the simplest level, you get credits for two meals and a snack per night of your stay, plus a refillable mug, per person on the reservation:

DISNEY WORLD HOTEL DEAL

Walt Disney World has released a set of hotel discounts that cover “most nights” March 25, 2024 through October 3, 2024.

Discount levels off of regular prices range between 10% and 35%.  In general (with some interesting exceptions) the highest discounts are for more expensive hotels, longer stay lengths, and earlier in the year.

Most of the deluxes and Disney Vacation Club resorts offer savings of 25% to 35%.

SAVE 20% TO 30% AT MOST MODERATE RESORTS

Most of the moderate resorts offer savings of 20% to 30%.

SAVE 10% TO 15% AT THE POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT

The Polynesian Village Resort gets its own savings class of 10% to 15% off….

SAVE 10% AT A MIX OF RESORTS

Finally, lower 10% savings are available at a mix of value, moderate, and (mostly) DVC options that usually have really strong demand anyway.

Walt Disney World has released a deal–or rather, a group of deals–for various dates from January 9, 2024 through March 24, 2024.

More complicated than most Disney World deals, this one has two “book-by” periods, two different stay periods, and five different discount groups.

At its most basic, the deal offers discounts on posted room rates at Disney World hotels. Savings range from 10% to 30%.

• Book by December 15, and in most cases you’ll save an extra 5%
• There are two date periods: most Sunday to Thursday nights January 9 through February 22, and most nights February 25 thought March 24

However, because in addition to this there are five different discount groups, I’ve organized the deal by hotel name to perhaps make things easier to track:

BOOKING THIS NEW DISNEY WORLD DEAL

More details are available on Disney World’s website here.

Availability is limited, and in the past, at any given resort, the lowest-priced rooms have been particularly hard to book.

Disney World also has available a dining deal that overlaps with the dates of this room rate deal, which might be better for some visitors. You can book online or over the phone, but  good travel agent, such as my friends at Destinations in Florida, can book the best deal for you—contact them using the form below:

DISNEY WORLD’S DINING PROMO CARD DEAL

Disney World has announced a new dining deal that covers a varied set of arrival dates from late October 2023 through early March 2024.

More specifically, the deal includes arrival dates:

• Most nights 10/27 through 11/1
• Most nights 11/25 through 11/29
• Most nights 12/9 through 12/25
• Most Sunday through Tuesday nights 1/9 though March 5

The deal works by offering a virtual “Dining Promo Card” which can be used at most Disney-owned table service and quick-service restaurants and, since you need to eat anyway, thus represents a savings on what you’d otherwise spend on a Disney World visit.

The value of the amount placed on your “Dining Promo Card” is a function of how many nights you stay, where you stay, and which nights you stay. A minimum four night stay is required to get the deal.

The amount placed on your “Dining Promo Card” per night varies from $60/night to $200/night. The higher amounts are restricted to the more expensive Disney World hotel rooms.

DISNEY WORLD DINING VALUE OF $200 PER NIGHT

Values of $200 per night are available at many of Disney’s DVC resorts…

…and also all of Disney’s Deluxe resorts.

DISNEY WORLD DINING VALUE OF $120 PER NIGHT

Values of $120 per night are available at all of Disney World’s Moderate resorts.

DISNEY WORLD DINING VALUE OF $60 PER NIGHT

Values of $60 per night are available at all of Disney World’s Value resorts.
