Christmas came a little late from Disney this year! As we previously reported, Disney+ subscribers can enjoy FREE DINING for select stays at Walt Disney World.
Not a Disney+ subscriber? Not interested in the Disney Dining Plan? NO PROBLEM! Walt Disney World has released deep discounts for room-only reservations. These discounts do not require a Disney+ subscription, and are good alternatives for those who are not interested in the Disney Dining Plan.
Save Up To 35% With Walt Disney World Room-Only Promotion (Available to Everyone)
Two additional offers are geared toward room-only reservations, with savings of up to 35% off the room rate, depending on the resort hotel. These discounts are ideal for annual passholders and guests not interested in the dining plan. It will also appeal to guests who spend fewer days in the parks (trust me – there is a LOT to do at Walt Disney World outside the theme parks).
- Room-only discounts listed below are generally higher (up to 35%) for later summer/early fall stays (July 8-October 3), and lower (up to 30%) for spring/early summer stays. Reading between the lines, bookings appear to be light for late summer/early fall.
- Discounts are deeper for longer stays (5 nights or longer). Discounts for stays of 1-4 nights are still substantial, but hover about 5% below those available for longer stays.
- Discounts are generally higher for higher-priced (deluxe and moderate) resort hotels, with several exceptions listed below (and shown in the table).
Room-Only Discounts for stays of 5+ nights:
- For stays most nights from July 8 to October 3, 2024, save up to 35%, depending on the resort.
- For stays most nights from March 25 to July 7, 2024, save up to 30%, depending on the resort.
Room-Only Discounts for stays of 1-4 nights:
- For stays most nights from July 8 to October 3, 2024, save up to 30%, depending on the resort.
