Hey there, Michelle, and welcome to planDisney!
I'm glad you stopped by with such a relatable question. I recently returned to the world of academics after a ten-year hiatus myself and had completely forgotten how wonderful (and helpful) student discounts can be! Unfortunately,
Walt Disney World Resort does not offer a discount exclusively to students on theme park tickets, but you can find various
Special Offers on available to Guests throughout the year. These offers vary but have been known to include discounted Disney Resort hotel reservations, specially-priced vacation packages, and discounted/free dining. If you're looking to make the cost of a vacation to The Most Magical Place on Earth a bit more manageable, be sure to take advantage of any applicable offers during your desired travel dates. Speaking of desired travel dates, did you know that the price of
date-based theme park tickets fluctuates throughout the year? If possible, visiting during a time when the prices are on the lower end of the spectrum is a great way to save a bit of money.
No one understands magical dreams on a budget more than everyone's everyone's favorite beignet-frying Princess, Tiana, and if you plan to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth during your summer break, you'll find it's one for the books (story not text) in Magic Kingdom Park as the much-anticipated transformation to Tiana's Bayou Adventure will finally be completed.
Disney Parks Blog has confirmed it's almost there, and the panelists at planDisney couldn't be more jazzed about it!
I hope these suggestions help make your magical vacation happen, Michelle. If you need any additional assistance as you are planning, feel free to stop back by. Hakuna Matata.
I'm always happy to help!
Faith, Trust, Pixie Dust,
