Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Deborah!
It is always a bit of a guessing game as to when a particular Walt Disney World Resort discount might be released. We can look to when discounts have been released in the past to help give us an idea of when a future discount might become available. For instance, the current
Florida resident offer for rooms most nights September 1 through December 24, 2019 was released in July, so that is approximately 6 weeks in advance of the beginning of the offer period. For the past several years, Florida resident discounts on rooms for early January have been released in late November or early December. While we can use the past as a guideline, there is no guarantee as to when or if a particular discount will be offered. We were all caught a bit off guard last January when a Free Dine Offer was released, as in the past offers that included a free
Disney Dining Plan had usually become available in April.
Your best bet is to keep your eye on the
Special Offers page, as well as the
Disney Parks Blog for announcements about any offers or discounts. If your vacation dates are firm, I would go ahead and reserve your stay now. If an offer for your dates becomes available, you can
call the Disney Resort Hotel Reservations line to see if the offer can be applied to your vacation. Being a bit flexible with your dates or choice of Resort Hotel would be helpful when taking advantage of a Special Offer.
I hope that helps! Please let us know if you have any additional questions as you
plan your vacation.
