Welcome to planDisney, Melissa! Uncle Scrooge McDuck would be so proud that you are searching for those money-saving discounts!
You came to planDisney at just the right time! Historically speaking,
discount offers for October were released in mid-June. The offer that was released on June 15, 2023 (last year) was for 15% – 30% off room-only rates at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels. The discount was good for stays most nights from October 2, 2023, through December 25, 2023. If an offer is released for October 2024 it might not match that same offer from last year, but that provides some historical perspective.
Melissa, if mid-June “comes and goes” without a discount offer, you can always proceed with booking your vacation and then check later to see if a new discount offer is released. Most newly released offers come with an option to check if the new offer can be applied to an existing reservation! Yes, I love that feature! My wife and I have been able to use that frequently (and usually successfully) on our existing reservations. Good luck!
Regarding the amazing water park perk you mentioned...The offer for a
free visit to one of the Disney Water Parks on Guest check-in day is valid for Walt Disney World Resort vacations beginning in 2025. It is an awesome offer and certainly one to keep in mind if you decide to push your visit from fall 2024 to sometime in 2025!
Dreams do come true!
