Hi there Tanya! I am so excited to hear that you're planning to visit Disney World next year and with the expansion of Fantasyland over at the Magic Kingdom, I can't think of a better time to visit the Most Magical Place on Earth.
We all know that Disney definitely announces many deals and special promotions throughout the year...the problem is that we have no way of predicting which special offers will be announced or when! Historically, special offers have been unveiled near the end of a season. An example would be near the end of Spring, late Summer specials were announced, etc. You really have to be on your toes with eyes and ears locked on the web as some promotions have limited space and fill to capacity quickly!
Please also keep in mind that it's a good idea to go ahead and secure your travel dates now by booking through the Walt Disney Travel Company! This way, you'll ensure availability at the resort of your choice for the dates of your choice, and if a promotion is announced, you'll be able to call in to modify your reservation to reflect the promotion if applicable!
Here are a few tips for ensuring you are able to secure a promotional deal as soon as it is announced:
1) Visit
The Disney Parks Blog and subscribe to their updates via email
2) Frequent the
DisneyWorld.com Special Offers Page
3) "LIKE" Disney World on Facebook
4) Frequent us here on the
Disney Moms Panel because questions always pour in when specials are announced!
Best Wishes,
Amanda F.
