Gem Disney's All-Star Movies Resort + 4-Day Base Tickets, Memorial Week Check-In (May 26–30, 2026)

By choosing the first eligible check-in date for the free water park benefit (May 26), you essentially get a 5th park experience for free — a $70+/person value that doesn't exist on May 25 stays. All-Star Movies' standard rooms sleep 4, and the 25% room discount applies to most nights through October 4, 2026. Memorial Day Monday falls outside this window so crowds taper after the holiday weekend, and 4-day base tickets price-per-day better than shorter ticket lengths.

Ending Soon Disneyland Spring Discount Window Closes May 21

"Adults at Kids' Prices" on 3+ day tickets and up to 25% off Disneyland Resort hotels both end with arrivals on May 21, 2026. Tickets must be purchased in advance — last call to lock in spring/Memorial Day stays.

New Disney Destiny Restricted Rates Released for the First Time

As of mid-April, the new Disney Destiny was added to the IGT/OGT/VGT inventory with up to 25% off prevailing rates on select 2026 sailings. Brand-new ship + restricted rate is an unusual combination — typically these don't appear until a ship is well-established.

Active Free Water Park Day at WDW Resort Check-In (May 26 – Sept 8)

Every registered overnight guest at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel gets free Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach admission on check-in day — no extra ticket required, even before room is ready.

Active Disney+ Perks 3-Day, 3-Park Ticket from $109/Day

Disney+ subscribers can buy a 3-Day, 3-Park spring ticket starting at $325 plus tax — valid for EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios only (no Magic Kingdom). Lowest WDW per-day pricing currently available.

Watch Aulani Pool Closure Overlaps Spring Discount Window

Waikolohe Pool, the whirlpool spa, and the Volcanic Vertical body slide are closed April 13 – May 8, 2026 for maintenance — a meaningful trade-off if booking the up-to-30% spring offer for late-April or early-May arrival.

Active WDW Deluxe Stay + DCL Cruise Stack: 20–25% Off

Stay at any WDW Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resort and book a DCL sailing within 7 days of check-out for 20–25% off voyage fare on select cruises April 2026 – February 2027. Best stack for split-vacation planners.

Active Up to 25% Off Rooms — Spring/Summer 2026

Annual Passholders save up to 35% and Florida Residents save 30% through April 30 — both bigger discounts than the public rate but with tighter date windows. For summer travel, the 30% / 5-night rate beats the 25% / shorter rate at most resort tiers.

Active Military 4/5/6-Day Park Hopper from $75/Day

A 6-Day Park Hopper for $449 plus tax is the lowest per-day Park Hopper pricing publicly available at WDW right now. The military discount can be combined with the resort room discount on the same trip.

Ending Soon Adults at Kids' Prices on 3+ Day Tickets

For a family of two adults and two kids, this is effectively a ~$300+ savings vs. standard adult pricing on a 3-day stay. Pairs well with the up-to-25% hotel discount through May 21 for a fully discounted package.

Ending Soon Up to 25% Off Disneyland Hotel Stays (3+ Nights)

Three new summer 2026 hotel + ticket packages were also released this spring — worth comparing once they go live, but for arrivals before May 21 the existing 25% offer is still the most flexible play.

New IGT/OGT/VGT Restricted Rates — Up to 25% Off, 72 Sail Dates

The biggest discounts (up to 35%) typically appear on Verandah categories. Restricted rates are unsold-inventory pricing — once cabins clear, the rate disappears, often within hours. Best fit for travelers with locked-in dates and travel insurance for cancel-for-any-reason coverage.

Active U.S. Military $250 Onboard Credit

Stackable with regular military stateroom pricing — effectively turns a 3-night sailing into one with most onboard extras pre-funded.

Active Spring 2026: Up to 30% Off 5+ Night Stays

For Disney Visa cardholders, the discount jumps to 35% off Ocean View and Partial Ocean View rooms on 5+ night stays — the strongest publicly available rate at Aulani right now. Bookings made before Feb 11 also stacked a $150 resort credit; that window has closed.
