New Free Dining Plan on Summer–Holiday 2026 Packages

The Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan (for Value/Moderate stays) is worth approximately $55/adult/day and $25/kid/day — on a 4-night trip for 2 adults and 2 kids, that's roughly $640 in free dining. The Halloween and Christmas windows (Oct 19–31, Dec 6–21) are particularly attractive as they combine this with Disney's signature seasonal events at no extra dining cost.

Ending Soon Spring Room Discount — Up to 25% Off (Up to 35% for AP/FL Residents)

Under 4 weeks until this expires.

Active WDW Stay & Cruise Discount — Save 20–25% on Select Disney Cruises After a Deluxe Resort Stay

A niche but genuinely lucrative combo deal: if you're already planning a Deluxe Resort stay at WDW, this stacks a 20–25% cruise discount on top at no extra effort.

New Aulani Spring Savings — Up to 30% Off 5-Night Stays (April 10–June 12)

Aulani's spring shoulder season (April–June) is a sweet spot: school is still in session in much of the mainland (lower crowds, shorter waits at the resort's famous pools and character experiences), yet the discount window is fully open. Disney Visa cardholders should book directly through disneyaulani.com for the 35% Ocean View rate — that's a meaningful upgrade at near-standard-room pricing.
