Disney+ Subscribers Will Get a Disney World Deal Starting January 3, 2024.
Disney World dropped a hint that a new deal is coming for Disney+ subscribers.
The Walt Disney World Resort hinted that a new deal is coming just for Disney+ subscribers.
“Today, Disney+ shared that a special deal is coming to Walt Disney World just for Disney+ Subscribers beginning Jan. 3. We look forward [to] sharing more details in January.”
Disney+ offers for Disney World have become a regular thing. Offers we available for summer and fall of 2023.
Currently, there is a Disney+ subscriber offer available for Walt Disney World through December 25, 2023.
The first Disney+ offers are aimed at getting new subscribers but on the Disney World side, it’s a decent offer.
Yes, better than the standard offers available to the general public in the beginning. However, after the first week or so, the Disney+ subscriber offer seems to get scaled back and ends up being about the same as the broad discount offers. Or the offer becomes very limited.
This means you should book when the offer is released.
If you’re already booked with me, be sure to let me know you subscribe to Disney+ so I can check for a better rate.
I can also help you determine which is the better deal because there are a few to choose from. View them all here >
I’ll post all the offer details as soon as they become available on the offers page. Stay tuned.

Hidden Disney World Deals February - March 2024
Stay in a Disney World Moderate hotel for less than a Value hotel.
2024 Disney World packages just went on sale and while there are no discounts or offers available, there are some hidden deals, especially if you travel in February and March 2024.
What I’m about to show you speaks to why booking your Disney vacation with me is a great value. I am logged into Disney’s pricing system all day, every day so I know where to find great deals, even if there aren’t any officially posted to the public.
Get your Disney World quote today!
So, when is the best time to visit Disney World in 2024?
In the example below we see that a vacation package at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort costs less than the same package at Disney’s Pop Century Resort.
Let me say that again! Caribbean Beach, a Disney Moderate hotel, is being offered for less money than a Disney Value hotel.
For reference, I was quoting a 3 nights, 3-day tickets, and Quick Service Dining Plan.
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, a Disney Moderate-category hotel, also costs less per night than Pop Century Resort.
You could argue that Pop Century is on the Disney Skyliner, which is very convenient.
But so is Caribbean Beach. And Caribbean Beach is the hub for Skyliner so it’s even more convenient than Pop Century.
Coronado Springs is the flagship Moderate hotel and has far more comforts and amenities like larger rooms, upgraded softgoods, central AC, several on-site restaurants, and a themed pool with a water slide.
Disney’s Moderate hotels don’t usually cost less than the value hotels.
This is obvious just by the category titles.
But if you know where and when to look, you can snag a great deal. Or you can ask me to do it for you.
I’m also seeing this at the Disney World Deluxe hotels where the rates at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort are lower than Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
Here’s a quote I was working on for a 10-night stay. My client asked for a deluxe resort with the regular Disney Dining Plan.
A “Water View” room at the Polynesian offers views of the pool or lagoon. A “Resort View” room at the Grand Floridian has views of a courtyard, pool, or lagoon. So both are very similar there.
But what’s so surprising is the Grand Floridian is Disney’s flagship hotel.
It’s the resort that Disney is most proud of and it typically costs more than any other resort.
It also has the largest standard rooms on Disney property, it’s on the monorail, and it’s within walking distance to Magic Kingdom.
There could be a number of reasons for these unannounced discounts, but I can only speculate.
One theory I have is that Disney is quietly testing the waters to see what happens if they lower prices. Or perhaps Pop Century and the Polynesian have grown to be super popular and Disney can get higher rates for them.
But one thing I’m sure of is that Disney is attempting to drive bookings in certain directions.
Whatever the reason, it's great for travelers that want to visit this winter.
Every day I help people book magical vacations to Walt Disney World. I offer insider, expert advice. I’d love to help you too. Request a quote here.

Understanding Disney's Latest Room Offer
Every Disney World has a little catch. This one is no different.
Yesterday Disney removed the 2-free ticket days offer and issued a room discount with nearly identical dates - running from July 11 - September 29, 2021. The discounts range from 10% to 25% on select Disney World hotel rooms. You can read more about this offer here.
Walt Disney World offers always have a little catch and this one is no different.
Yesterday Price-Watch was running to see if this offer could be applied to my clients’ existing reservations and to see if it works out better than the ticket offer.
I noticed that this particular room discount appears to be targeting upgraded room categories such as Preferred Rooms, Pool View, Courtyard View, Theme Park View and so on. There are more opportunities to save on these upgraded categories than on Standard View rooms.
For example, if you already booked a Standard View room, you can upgrade to a Courtyard View room and apply the discount, but your package price will cost more.
In the above example, my client is already booked in a Standard VIew room at rack rate. To take advantage of the room discount, they would need to upgrade to a Courtyard View room. Even with the discount, the total package price would be more. It’s a good deal if you want to stay in a room with a nicer view, otherwise its best to keep the reservation as-is.
When I see rooms offers work this way, it usually means Disney needs to unload the more expensive rooms. Standard Views rooms are likely selling well but there isn’t enough interest in the higher priced rooms.
I’m also noticing that there are numerous blockout dates which tells me that Disney knows exactly where it needs more heads in beds.
Disney will release the broad offer dates but not the individual dates that the offer is blocked out.
So, finding a range of dates when the offer is valid, is really hit or miss.
If there’s at least 1 night that’s blocked out in your travel dates, the entire range of dates will show as unavailable. So you might have to be flexible and search different combinations of dates and resorts to take advantage of this offer. Or you can ask me to do it for you!
My clients trust me to find them the best available rate and to help make sense out of these offers when they are released.

Disney Lowers Rates at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort
It’s now possible to stay at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort for less per night than Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
In a previous post I discussed how there wasn’t much difference in price between a Little Mermaid Standard Room at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort and a Standard View room at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. Art of Animation Resort is a Value Category hotel and Coronado Springs is in the Moderate Category .
I’d like to take this one step further now. I have come across examples where Coronado Springs actually costs less than Art of Animation!
This is truly amazing because Coronado was always considered the flagship Moderate resort with upgraded amenities like central air conditioning in each room (other Moderates have window units), a computer desk with ergonomic chair, upgraded soft goods, several dining and lounge options, and it’s the only Moderate to have a fitness center.
Among the Moderate resorts, Coronado had the highest average nightly rate so the fact that rates are, in some cases, less than a Value hotel is remarkable. This is a great opportunity to stay at this resort and save money.
One reason could be that Coronado Springs is not on Disney Skyliner. Skyliner hotels are Art of Animation, Caribbean Beach, and Pop Century. Disney’s Riviera Resort is too, that’s in a different price category altogether.
So now is a great time to take advantage Coronado’s low rates. Is it better than Art of Animation? Well yeah! It’s one category up and has a lot more to offer like a brand new lobby experience (which is beautiful by the way), a water slide at the feature pool, a fitness center, and better bus service

Of course Art of Animation is a terrific resort as well, but when it costs more than a Moderate hotel, I don’t think it’s a good deal because you’re paying more, but getting less.

Two Disney World Benefits Expiring Soon
Disney World updated ticket offer and the regular cancellation policy will resume
Earlier this week I posted an an article about why I thought the Disney World Summer Offers Might Not Be Available Much Longer. As expected, Disney World just modified the 2 free ticket days offer.
Also, the flexible cancelation policy is about to expire and it doesn’t look like Disney World will be extending it this time.
Ticket Offer Will Expire Sooner Than Expected
The new travel dates for this offer have been updated, it’s now July 4 through September 25, 2021. It was previously valid most nights from January 8, 2021 though September 25, 2021. This means the offer is now unavailable for the remainder of April and all of May and June.
Offer Expiration Date: I also learned that Disney will be pulling this offer on May 2, 2021. Want to see how much you can save? Click here and I’ll send you a quote before it expires.
When looking at the Disney World park reservation calendar, you’ll see that the theme parks are nearly at capacity through July. I’m sure this has a lot to do with the revised offer dates and the new expiration date.
The good news is that you can book travel through late September and still get the the offer. Just book by May 2, 2021.
In this article, I explore the difference between ticket offer and the spring room discount. See which offer is better.
Flexible Cancelation Policy to End
As part of the reopening process Disney World guests can modify or cancel their reservations up to the day of arrival without penalty through April 30, 2021.
This was a great idea. We didn’t want a sick person traveling to Walt Disney World just because they couldn’t get a refund on their vacation.
Staring May 1, the regular cancelation policy will take effect. If you book a package reservation, you’ll have until 30-days prior to arrival to cancel. Inside of 30-days you’ll forfeit the $200 package deposit. If you make a modification inside of 30-days to arrival that results in the package price going down, Disney may impose a $50 change fee.
On room-only reservations and Magical Vacations Travel Exclusive Offers, you have until 5-Days prior to arrival to cancel for a full refund. The cancellation policy for Walt Disney World will be outlined in your quote from me.
When you book your Disney vacation with me, you’ll have an advisor who stays current with important news that may affect your travel plans. See all the perks you’ll enjoy here.
Why Disney World’s Best Summer Offers Might Not Be Available Much Longer
Summer Vacation Deals for Disney World
Attendance is definitely picking up at Walt Disney World. What a difference a year makes! Last spring Orlando was literally a ghost town with all our theme parks shuttered. This year Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando were the number one domestic travel destinations in America, according to TravelAgencyCentral.com.
While Disney has terrific offers through July 10 and even September, it’s the theme park reservations that you need to watch out for.
As of today, Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios are at capacity for most of April, May and June. I’m also noticing that the parks are just now beginning to sell out in early July as well.
People have figured out that reduced capacity for a Disney theme park means less crowds and shorter lines. It’s like going back to the 1980s when FastPass wasn’t even a thing! So, you can save big and enjoy fewer crowds!

Stay at a Disney World Villa for Less than Art of Animation Family Suite
Disney’s Saratoga Springs less than Art of Animation? Here’s how…
While pricing out Walt Disney World options for clients, it came to my attention that it’s entirely possible to stay at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort for less than a Family Suite at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. You just need to search around for the right dates. This is where a travel advisor is key in helping you plan your vacation to Disney World.
For example, if you were to book March 31, 20 through April 6, 2020 using the Early ‘21 offer, you could stay in a 1-Bedroom Villa at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort for about $30 less than an Art of Animation Family Suite.
While $30 might not seem like a big savings on 6-nights, keep in mind that Saratoga Springs is three resort categories higher than Art of Animation. A Saratoga Springs 1-Bedroom Villa comes with a full size kitchen, full size appliances including a dishwasher, a fully equipped kitchen (utensils, plates, cups etc) and washer/dryer right in the room.
The master bedroom has a king size bed along with and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. There are two bathrooms, the master bath has a whirlpool tub! Rooms have a spacious balcony off the living room.
A family suite at Disney’s Art of Animation has a kitchenette that consists of a mini-fridge, a microwave and a small sink. The master bedroom has a queen size bed, a double-size sleeper sofa and a pretty neat table that converts into another double size bed. There are two bathrooms but no whirlpool tub. For laundry, you’ll have to use a shared laundry room at the hotel. There are no balconies at Art of Animation.
1-Bedroom Villas at Saratoga Springs (715 sq. ft.) will sleep up to 4 adults whereas a Family Suite at Art of Animation (565 sq. ft.) will sleep up up to 6.
One major plus for Art of Animation is that it’s on the Disney Skyliner System with gondola service to Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Saratoga Springs is close to Disney Springs, and in some cases within walking distance. Bus service is provided to the theme parks.
While both resorts have a lot to offer, there’s a lot more value in the amenities offered in Saratoga Springs Resort 1-Bedroom Villa.
