Hello Jane! Taking options into consideration is always a great idea when planning a Walt Disney World Resort vacation! I also appreciate that you’re thinking about special offers that could become available as you get closer to your vacation!
While there is no guarantee that special offers will be made available, I believe that any seasonal travel offers for the fall will be posted in July or August. Be sure to check the
Special Offers page on the Walt Disney World Resort website! That is where the offers will first appear! Uncle Scrooge McDuck will be so proud of you for saving some money!
You can book your August 2024 vacation package, but be sure to follow the
cancellation policies to avoid fees. Guests will receive a refund for vacation packages cancelled 30-days prior to arrival. There is a $200 cancellation fee for packages cancelled between 2-29 prior to travel. Packages cancelled one day or less prior to travel are non-refundable. If you book your vacation through any third-party representatives, you could incur fees through the third-party. Be sure to inquire with your travel company if you are using one.
If you book your August 2024 vacation, and a better offer becomes available for the fall, you could cancel your August vacation and then rebook using the new special offer for the fall. Jane, here is a PRO TIP for you! If a special offer becomes available, before you cancel your existing reservation, you should inquire as to whether the special offer can be applied to your existing reservation!
Happy Planning!
