Credit: DisneyDisney vacations are some of the most magical experiences families can have, but let’s be honest—those price tags can be steep. Over the past several years, the rising costs of park tickets, hotels, and dining have left many fans wondering if a Disney trip is still within reach.
That’s why the latest announcement for 2026 is turning heads. Disney is rolling out three significant discounts aimed at easing the financial strain, and they’re joined by several additional offers that make 2026 one of the best years in recent memory to plan a trip.
These aren’t minor markdowns or small perks—these are the kind of savings that can mean the difference between postponing a dream vacation and actually booking it. Let’s break down the three headline discounts before diving into the extra deals that sweeten the pot.
Discount #1: Spring Savings
The first major deal on the table is the “Spring Into Magic” discount. This one is especially attractive for guests traveling in the first half of the year. Disney is offering up to 25% off rooms at select resorts, depending on the travel dates.
Guests booking stays from February 22 to April 30, 2026, can save up to 25% off their rooms.
Those traveling Sunday through Thursday from January 4 to February 19, 2026, will see savings of up to 20%.
It’s worth noting that discounts vary by resort category, so Deluxe resorts and Villas may provide higher savings than Value properties.
For families who’ve been on the fence about whether to splurge on a higher-tier resort, this discount could make the difference. Imagine swapping your moderate hotel plans for a deluxe stay, with the savings covering the upgrade.
Discount #2: Welcome Back Deals
Next up is a perk Disney is calling its “welcome back” offer, or more formally, the bounceback discount. If you’ve visited Disney World in late 2025 or early 2026, you’ll have a chance to save big on your next trip—as long as you book within seven days of your check-out.
The savings here are tiered by resort:
Up to 35% off rooms at select Deluxe and Deluxe Villa resorts.
Up to 30% off rooms at select Moderate resorts.
This offer is valid for a wide range of dates throughout 2026, spanning from January to the fall. That means you don’t have to worry about a narrow window—you’ll have multiple opportunities across the year to take advantage of the deal.
This kind of discount is particularly smart for repeat Disney fans. If you know you’ll be coming back, grabbing 35% off a Deluxe stay can completely change the scope of your vacation. It’s Disney’s way of rewarding loyal guests while encouraging them to start planning their next adventure before the magic of their last trip has even worn off.
Discount #3: $250 Savings Package
The third major offer is one of the flashiest: a package deal worth up to $250 off per night. Guests who book a four-night, four-day (or longer) room-and-ticket package at select resorts can enjoy substantial savings.
Here’s how it works:
The package applies to most nights between February 22 and July 25, 2026.
Savings range from $40 per night at Value resorts to a whopping $250 per night at top-tier resorts like Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.
If you do the math, it adds up quickly. A four-night stay could save you up to $1,000. For families looking at pricier resorts but hesitant about the cost, this package could make those dreams far more attainable.
Exclusive Discounts for Residents and Passholders
Alongside the three big headline deals, Disney is also introducing some exclusive savings for Florida residents and Annual Passholders.
Florida Resident Hotel Offer: Guests living in Florida can save up to 30% on rooms for stays most nights between February 22 and April 30, 2026, and up to 25% for Sunday through Thursday nights from January 4 to February 19, 2026.
Annual Passholder Hotel Offer: Passholders are looking at some of the deepest discounts, with savings of up to 35% off most nights from February through April 2026, and 30% off during early January and February weekday stays.
Annual Passholder Hawai’i Offer: Disney didn’t forget about its Hawaiian fans. Passholders can save up to 30% on select stays at Disney’s Aulani Resort for trips between January 4 and April 9, 2026. Eligible rooms include Ocean View and Partial Ocean View categories, with a minimum five-night stay required.
These targeted offers highlight how Disney is working to cater to specific groups of guests—especially locals and repeat visitors who are often the most loyal customers.
Other Discounts Rolling Over Into 2026
Beyond the headliners, Disney has confirmed that several popular perks and offers will continue into the new year. One of the most family-friendly deals is the “Kids Eat Free” deal.
Guests who book a Disney dining plan for everyone aged 10 and up on their reservation will receive complimentary dining plans for children aged 3 to 9. This promotion can save families hundreds of dollars over the course of a week-long trip.
Other hotel deals are also being extended, meaning the trend of early 2025 discounts rolling into 2026 continues. For families who like to plan far in advance, this stability provides peace of mind, knowing that reasonable offers won’t vanish as the calendar turns.
Why 2026 Might Be the Best Time to Go
For fans who’ve been frustrated by Disney’s rising costs, these discounts send a clear signal: 2026 is shaping up to be a year when deals matter. Whether it’s shaving a quarter off your hotel bill in spring, stacking $1,000 in package savings, or grabbing a bounceback discount that locks in another trip, there’s something for nearly every type of traveler.
Additionally, exclusives such as Florida resident savings and Annual Passholder perks, along with the continuation of kids eating free, make the offers even more appealing. Disney may not be slashing prices across the board, but for those willing to plan strategically, the savings are real.
