Hi there Stephen,
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question. I’m always happy to chat with a fellow Canuck. I’m so glad to hear you’ve got a
Walt Disney World Resort vacation in the works - it’s always exciting when
special offers are released (especially ones for Canadians!), and it’s a great idea to see if they can be applied to your trip.
When it comes to discounts, each country’s Disney site can show different availability, and the promotions may be specific to the region where the offer is posted. Availability may also have been in the process of being updated when you checked, which could explain why you didn’t see it on the Canadian site.
I chatted with a Cast Member about your question and they said the promotions are now posted and show current availability. They recommend giving the
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations line a call so a Cast Member there can check if any rooms under that 20% promotion are available for your dates. Fingers crossed that a little extra pixie dust comes your way and you’re able to take advantage of a discount!
If you haven’t already, I recommend picking up a few Canadian Disney Gift Cards before your trip. You can find them at many major grocery and pharmacy retailers here at home. Using Canadian Disney Gift Cards is a great way to avoid extra currency exchange fees, since you’ll be paying in Canadian dollars up front. Once you arrive at Walt Disney World Resort, you can use them just like cash for dining, merchandise, and more - without worrying about credit card exchange rates or fees.
If you have any other planning questions, please
let me know - I’d love to help!
Happy planning,
Candace
