Hello there, Matthew! Welcome to
planDisney, and thank you so much for bringing us such a thoughtful question. I can tell you’re already looking carefully at the details of your upcoming
Walt Disney World vacation, and that is always the best way to set yourself up for success.
When it comes to special offers, like the
Canadian Resident discount, it’s important to know that these promotions are always date-based and subject to availability. That means that while you may be able to book a package with a discount now, the offer is not automatically guaranteed to follow you if you later decide to move your trip dates.
If you want to modify an existing reservation that includes a discount, the system will first check what special offers are available at the time of your change. If the new dates you’re interested in still fall within the eligibility period and the promotion still has availability, you may very well be able to keep that discount. However, if availability is limited or the promotion has already closed for modifications, you could lose the 25% discount when switching your dates.
Unfortunately, there’s simply no way to know in advance if the offer will still be available down the road. Disney releases a limited number of rooms and packages under each promotion, and those can sell out quickly. My best advice is to make your booking with the dates you’re most confident in, and if your plans change, check immediately to see if the discount can be applied to your new travel dates.
Matthew, I know that promotions can sometimes feel a little tricky to navigate, but I hope this helps make things clearer. If you’d like, I’d also recommend keeping an eye on the
Special Offers page of the Walt Disney World website, since new discounts are released throughout the year. You might even find something better down the road!
Warm hugs,
Ana Paula
