Magic Kingdom during the holidays

So far in 2023, there have been Disney hotel discounts available for nearly every day of the year. Whether you’re a Florida Resident, a Military Member, a Disney World Annual Passholder, or none of those, there’s been some hotel savings available for you. And, now we’ve got the details on FOUR new discounts for anyone planning to travel during the most wonderful time of the year!

Hotel Discounts For ANYONE

First up we’ve got a hotel discount that ANY guest can use to save up to 30% off a Disney hotel stay most nights between October 2nd to December 25th, 2023. The details break down a little bit further with two different discount categories based on your travel dates.

Disney’s Riviera Resort

Here are the basics:

  • You can save up to 25% off stays most Sunday through Thursday nights between October 2nd and November 18th, 2023. Keep in mind that this does NOT include any Friday or Saturday nights.

  • Or, you can save up to 20% off stays most nights from December 10th to December 25th, 2023.

The amount of money that you’ll save depends on what hotel you book. And, we’ve got the details to help you figure out what is going to be the best deal for you and you’re family!

Savings On Stays October 2nd to November 18th (Sunday-Thursday only) & November 19th to December 9th, 2023

If you’ve got a Disney vacation booked around Halloween or Thanksgiving, you’ll be saving a little less than the amount you could get around Christmas and New Year’s, but there are still some pretty great deals. And, every penny saved counts…right?!

If you want to save the most, you’ll want to choose one of the following Disney Resorts. You can get 25% off:

As an extra holiday treat, you can save even more if you plan to visit closer to the Christmas holiday season between December 10th to 25th, 2023. Just keep in mind that this tends to be one of the busiest times in Disney World (and for travel in general), so you’ll likely find that the parks are more crowded around this time.
