Disney World Drops MASSIVE 30% Discount for Special End of Year

If you’re an Annual Passholder planning a trip to Walt Disney World this holiday season, Disney just dropped a festive gift your way—one that could seriously ease the strain on your wallet.

The holidays at Disney World are already a magical time. With sparkling lights, oversized Christmas trees, themed treats, and special events like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, it’s no surprise that it’s one of the most popular times of year to visit. But with popularity comes price hikes—especially when it comes to resort stays.

That’s where this new offer comes in.

What’s the Deal?

Disney is offering Passholders up to 30% off rooms at select resort hotels this holiday season. And no, it’s not just a one-week flash deal. This discount spans multiple weeks from mid-October through Christmas Day, giving guests plenty of options to plan a magical getaway.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

• Up to 30% off is available for stays most Sunday through Thursday nights from October 12 to November 1, and November 16 to November 20, 2025.

• You can also snag 30% off most nights from November 23 to 29, and again December 12 through 25, 2025.

Other dates are also discounted, just not quite as heavily:

• 25% off is available during the gaps in early and mid-November and from November 30 to December 11.

• Some value resorts are discounted up to 20% or 15%, depending on the dates and room type.

So if you’re flexible with travel dates—or love the idea of a weekday escape—you could really stretch your holiday dollars.

Where Can You Stay?

The good news? The offer isn’t limited to just a handful of hotels. Disney included a pretty wide range of resorts—everything from deluxe villas to value resorts made the list. Here’s a quick rundown of which resorts are part of the offer, based on the tiered discounts:

Up to 30% Off:

• Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and Kidani Village

• Disney’s Beach Club Resort and Villas

• Disney’s BoardWalk Inn and Villas

It’s worth noting that the biggest discounts go to the higher-tier deluxe and deluxe villa resorts. If you’ve ever dreamed of staying at a spot like the Grand Floridian or the BoardWalk Villas during the holidays—this might be your best shot at doing it for less.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind

As with all Disney offers, there are some restrictions and fine print to be aware of.

• The offer excludes campsites, 3-bedroom grand villas, and some specialty rooms like the Polynesian bungalows and Copper Creek cabins.

• Discounts are based on the standard, non-discounted rate that a non-passholder would pay.

• There’s limited availability, so the earlier you book, the better your chances.

• You’ll need to meet any minimum stay requirements (which vary depending on resort and dates).

• And as always, this deal can’t be stacked with other offers.

Why It Matters

Let’s be honest—Disney trips aren’t exactly cheap anymore. Even with an Annual Pass, the costs can pile up fast between food, Lightning Lanes, souvenirs, and party tickets. Being able to save a few hundred dollars on your resort stay can free up room in your budget for things that make the trip extra special—like a dinner at Cinderella’s Royal Table, or maybe that light-up popcorn bucket you swore you didn’t need (but absolutely do).

Plus, the timing of the offer is pretty ideal. You can use it for the Halloween-to-Christmas transition, the actual holiday season itself, or even a pre-Thanksgiving escape. And midweek stays tend to be a little quieter in the parks, making the experience feel more laid-back and magical.

Book Soon Before It’s Gone

With so many Passholders looking to lock in holiday plans early, this offer probably won’t stick around forever. Disney hasn’t announced a specific end date for booking, but as usual, rooms will fill up fast—especially those with the biggest discounts.

If you’re on the fence about a holiday trip, this might be the gentle nudge you needed. Whether you’re strolling down Main Street, U.S.A. with a hot chocolate in hand or watching the fireworks over Cinderella Castle, there’s something truly unforgettable about the holidays at Disney World.

And now, you can do it without breaking the bank.
