The Complete List of 2026 Walt Disney World Hotel Discounts and Special Offers

Periodically, Disney releases hotel discounts and special offers for travel to Walt Disney World. These discounts fall into somewhat predictable categories. Special offers often include room-only discounts, combined ticket and room package discounts, and occasional free dining plans. In addition to those special offers, we also see discounts for guests who visit regularly, such as annual passholders and Florida residents. From time to time, Disney Vacation Club members and Disney+ subscribers might also see a special incentive for visiting.

Disney often gives warnings ahead of the release date to prepare guests and travel advisors. If you’re hoping to receive a discount, we recommend one of two things. If your travel dates are pretty much set in stone, you might reserve your room with a travel agent ahead of time with the understanding that you want to be at the top of the list to have a discount applied to your room on the day they are released. Room discounts are often limited to a select number of rooms based on the category of the resort and the actual resort hotel you are booking. While all offers are subject to availability, you’ll likely have a better chance of having a discount applied to your existing reservation than doing the booking day scramble.

Of course, you can always wait until offers are released. Again, an authorized Disney World vacation planner will make this process much smoother. The most important thing, and I want to stress this, is to secure your reservation earlier rather than later. When discounts are released, it’s GO time. It’s not the time to hem-haw around and compare offers. When you finally find the “right deal,” you might find it was somebody else’s right deal. A sad screen display stating that the room offer is no longer available will leave you feeling frustrated and wistful long after you’ve settled on another room. Plus, you don’t need to constantly check for a better deal in the coming months. Time is money, and there are many other things you need to focus on to set yourself up for an incredible vacation.

Below, we’ve listed a timeline of hotel discounts and offers for 2026. If you’re keeping track for next year, bookings for 2026 became available on April 22, 2025, a few days after Easter. We’ll update this page throughout the year as new offers are released. You can select any highlighted red link to read more about that specific offer.
