Hey Howdy Hey Richard and welcome to planDisney!
Any vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort is one full of Magic. It never hurts for a little extra pixie dust to be shared when you book your trip with a
Special Offer and a nice discount to go along with it though! Thank you for stopping by with your question on Special Offers as you are planning for your upcoming trip. I will be happy to give you more information and expectations.
Recently, Disney has stepped up their benefits for Disney+ subscribers when it comes to vacations to Disney World with several Special Offers. Considering this is a relatively new thing with special attention to Disney+ subscribers, it is hard to get any patterns if and/or when Disney may release Special Offers for us subscribers. Unfortunately, at this time I cannot say if Disney will or will not have another offer for Disney+ subscribers later this year. All current offers seem to only apply to trips in the spring, summer and early fall, but never fear, you still might have options, Richard!
The one good thing I can tell you is that Disney does trail a bit when it comes to Special Offer releases. They usually introduce a new offer that applies a couple of months in advance. That being said, if you book a vacation now and Disney then releases an offer that applies to your trip, you can still take advantage of the offer. You can do this in one of two ways.
If you have a vacation booked and an offer is released that applies to your trip details, you can modify your reservation through your
My Disney Experience account. Once you log in, go to your "My Plans, Reservations and Tickets" section. You should see your reservation and on the right, a blue hyperlink that says "Modify Reservation". Once you click on that, search for your same travel details and under the hotel accommodations you should see an option to search for rooms that qualify for the offer. As long as the offer is highlighted, proceed as usual to select your room and tickets. You should then be taken to a screen that reviews the changes with the updated total and the offer applied. Confirm the change and you should be all set!
The other way you can take advantage of any Special Offers is by calling Disney. You can
call Disney and speak to a Cast Member about having an offer applied to your current booking. As long as there is availability, they can make these changes and you should be all set!
Although we never really know if or when Disney will release Special Offers, we do know that if you already have a trip booked, you are still able to take advantage of them. I hope these steps outline the way to do so and can book your trip with a little more peace of mind. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out and let us know, we are always happy to help!
Have a Magical day,
Nick
