Current Disney World Discounts | 2024 & 2025

Everyone would love to save money on their Walt Disney World vacation, and thankfully, from time to time, Disney offers special promotions and discounts to help guests save money on a vacation package, hotel rooms, tickets, dining, and more.

Walt Disney World discounts

To help make finding the latest offers and specials easier for you, I decided to put all the current Disney World discounts in one place so you can compare which ones are the best for you and offer the most savings.

In this post, I will explain all the latest Walt Disney World discounts including for the general public, Annual Passholders, Florida Residents, Disney+ subscribers, U.S. Military members, Visa Cardholders, and whatever other offers pop up.

Along with this post, you will also want to read our two guides on saving money at Disney World.  They are full of great tips to help you do Disney as cheaply as possible.

Disney World discounts are not always easy to get, and they are usually limited to a certain number of guests, so you will need to be quick!  They are also hard to understand and are not always straightforward. 

That’s one of the reasons we highly recommend using an Authorized Disney Travel Planner to do the hard work for you.

Current Discounts at Walt Disney World

Disney World Discounts and offers

Bargain shoppers will be happy to know that there are some truly amazing discounts currently running at Walt Disney World, much more so than all of last year, and some of the offers are the best ones we’ve seen in 4-5 years!

Honestly, with the number of people that visited Walt Disney World recently, we didn’t think that there would be so many good promotions in 2024 and 2025.  Last year, there were a ton of pent-up travelers who hadn’t been to Disney World in a few years, and they were flocking to the parks in almost record numbers.

That has been far from the case in 2024.  U.S. residents are not spending nearly as much this year on travel in general, and many are cutting back on expenses due to the unstable economic situation.

If you were at the parks in last year, it’s really night and day.  Crowd levels were 20%-30% lower at most times of the year than the previous year, which is excellent if you are looking for short lines for your favorite attractions.

Current Disney World Discounts

And it’s also starting to show up in a lack of future bookings.  Hotel reservations are down through the rest of the year and even into next year, and that’s why Disney has upped its “discount game”, hoping to entice would-be-travelers who are currently on the fence.

This had now led to some nice discounts for early 2024 and we expect there to be more throughout next year too.

If you are in the market for a Walt Disney World vacation, 2024 is an amazing year to go.  Not only are there a bunch of new attractions to enjoy if you haven’t been for a few years, but combine that with the low crowd levels and deep discounts currently being offered and it’s a perfect storm of sorts.

To find the latest deals being offered by Disney, you can check the special offers page on the Disney website and see what’s currently available, and if you have trouble figuring out which one is right for you, reach out to Show You the World Travel and they will help you decide which one will save you the most money.

Let’s move on to the latest promotions at Disney World…

General Public Discounts

Disney World Discounts and deals

Though they usually aren’t the highest discounts, Disney usually has offers that benefit the general public in booking Walt Disney World hotel rooms and tickets.  So far this year we are seeing some really good deals and discounts haven’t been this high since 2019 with as much as 30% off.

Last year, the New Disney World 4-Park Magic Tickets were a big draw and though they are not currently available, we have received similar offers to replace them.

Here are the latest Walt Disney World general public discounts…

Save Up to 25% on Rooms at Select Disney Resort Hotels (Early 2025)

DVC Pool at Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort

This offer gives guests at Walt Disney World a discount between 10% and 30% on hotel rooms, depending on which resort they would like to stay at.  This is a great discount rate for the general public, especially since it’s available during the Spring which is one of the busiest times of the year to visit.

The least expensive time to visit during this offer is most Sunday through Wednesday nights from Mid-January to Early February which are always the least expensive. Obviously, if you try to book near Spring Break, Easter or any other holiday in that timespan the rooms get more expensive.

Some of the best deals we saw were the All-Star Sports Resort at $93 per night, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort at $239 per night, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort for $173 per night, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge for $360 per night.

Disney Bounceback Offer

If you are currently or will be staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel in the near future, you are eligible to take advantage of the Disney Bounceback offer.  It’s also called the “Future Stay Offer” because if you are ready to book your next trip right when your current one is up, you can get a sweet discount on it.

This is one of the best deals as it allows you to save a straight 25% to 35% on your next trip.  The amount you will save depends on where you stay and there are some Disney resorts that do not participate in this deal, and there are also limited dates available.

Right now it is valid for stays in 2024 and 2025, so again, if you are planning on going then, it may end up being better than all the other discounts listed in this article.

Florida Resident Ticket Deal

Discount Disney World Tickets entrance to the parks

Right now, Disney is offering a special deal on ticket outside of what they normally give to Florida Residents.

Through the Spring and Summer they are offering a 3 and 4-day Florida Resident Disney Discovery tickets for locals on visits between April 2 and September 28, 2024.  The 3-day ticket costs $219 (around $73.00 per day, plus tax), and the 4-day ticket costs $235 (around $58.75 per day, plus tax).

Similar to the previous Florida Resident tickets, these tickets also allowed add-on upgrades at discounted rates for the park hopper option, water parks, and sports option, and the park hopper plus option.

  • Water Park and Sports Option: $37.28 more per ticket (plus tax)
  • Park Hopper Option: $42.60 more per ticket (plus tax)

Military Discounts

Walt Disney World offers various discounts on an annual basis for active and retired members of the U.S. military.  Offers include discounted tickets and hotel rooms and are usually quite generous, better than the majority of deals out there for the general public, annual passholders, or Florida residents.

Here are the latest Walt Disney World Military discounts…

U.S. Military Members: Enjoy Specially Priced Theme Park Tickets in 20241

Right now, Disney is offering discounted 4, 5 and 6-day Military Salute Tickets right on the Disney World website.

Here are the latest prices for Disney Military Salute Tickets:

  • 4-Day Disney Military Salute Ticket
    • With Park Hopper Option: $369 plus tax
    • With Park Hopper Plus Option: $399 plus tax
  • 5-Day Disney Military Salute Ticket

  • 6-Day Disney Military Salute Ticket
    • With Park Hopper Option: $409 plus tax
    • With Park Hopper Plus Option: $439 plus tax

To give you an example of the savings, 2024, 4-Day Disney Military Salute Tickets with the Park Hopper option cost $369 plus tax. Compare that with a regular 4-Day Park Hopper ticket which costs between $592 – $781.  In most situations that will save you $200-$300+ per ticket!

  • March 24, 2024, through April 6, 2024
  • November 24, 2024, through November 30, 2024

U.S. Military Members: Take Advantage of Great Rates at Select Disney Resort Hotels (2024)

There is also currently a nice deal for active or retired U.S. Military members on Walt Disney World Resort hotel rooms giving them a discount better than the general public.

Booking Dates: 

The offer is available for stays on most nights from January 1 to December 20, 2024.

Discount Rates: 

Guests can save between 30% and 40% on room-only bookings.  The exact prices are not published online and they change from season to season and depend on the resort you choose, so it’s hard to save just exactly how much you will save.

Disney Visa Cardholders

Disney Visa Credit Card

Another common discount for Disney vacations is for Disney Visa Cardholders.  While it’s not our absolute favorite credit card to use on vacations, from time to time it does give you some nice deals on hotels that can be worth it.

Right now there are no Walt Disney World offers for Disney Visa Cardholders, but the last time they ran this offer it gave cardholders a discount from 10% to 35% on hotel rooms. This was one of the highest percentages we’ve seen for Disney Visa promotions in the last 2-3 years, so it was a pretty nice deal.

We are expecting more Visa Cardholder offers in 2024, so stay tuned.

Rent DVC Points for More Savings

Grand Floridian Resort 2 Bedroom DVC Villa

If you are really looking to save money by staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, one of the best things you can do is to look into renting DVC points.  The Disney Vacation Club (DVC) is Disney’s timeshare program, and even if you aren’t a member, you can still use it to get big discounts on the Disney World resorts.  How?

DVC Owners can rent their unused points to people like you and me, and the best part is, those points end up being much cheaper than booking a resort directly through Disney.

One of the “drawbacks” is that you only rent DVC points at the Disney Deluxe Villa resorts, so it won’t work for getting savings at the Value or Moderate Resorts.  However, if you like to stay at the Deluxe Resorts anyway, you will most likely save anywhere from 30% to 50% on whatever deals Disney is offering you.

It will also let you stay at a Deluxe Resort on a Moderate Resort budget, so it’s a way to upgrade, without really spending any more than you already would.

For the best experience, we recommend using a trusted DVC Reseller such as David’s DVC Rentals.  They have amazing customer service, great prices, and a large inventory of Disney Resort hotel rooms.

Before doing anything, we recommend you read our Guide to Renting DVC Points, where we explain all the pros and cons in more detail and how you can get maximum savings by using this booking method.

Best Way to Save Big $$$ on Disney Resorts

If you want to potentially save thousands of dollars on your next trip to Disney World, I personally recommend David’s DVC Rentals. They consistently have the best prices and biggest selection of Disney Villas that will make you ask yourself: “How do they do it?”

Other Money Saving Tips

Besides these current discounts and renting DVC points, there are even more ways to save money on your next Disney trip.  Here are a few of our favorites:

Go at the Right Time of the Year –  This is the easiest way in my book and by booking a trip at one of the more inexpensive times of the year, you could easily save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.  Read our article Cheapest Times of the Year to Visit Disney World for more details.

Use Credit Card Perks – If you are staying at one of the hotels near Disney World, many of them will let you use your credit card points you’ve been saving to pay for your trip.  Again, this could save you thousands of dollars.

Get the Right Tickets – Most guests end up getting unnecessary add-ons to their theme park tickets like the park hopper option that they won’t fully use and only end up costing more money.  Also, many guests end up getting a ticket for more days than is necessary, which is also a huge waste.

Use Disney Gift Cards – If done correctly, this will save you a cool 5% to 10% on your entire Disney World trip, and it’s very easy to do.  It may be time-consuming, but the extra savings are worth it to me.  Read our Guide to Discount Disney Gift Cards for all our strategies for using them.

All of these tips and more are covered in the article we wrote: Best Money-Saving Tips at Disney World.

Can I Go to Disney World for Free on My Birthday?

No, unfortunately, Disney does not give you free admission to the theme parks on your birthday, nor do they give you any other discounts.

However, they do give you special treatment if you visit on your birthday including free food, a birthday pin, and other special perks. 

Do Students Get a Discount to Disney World?

Disney does offer discounts to students, but only if you go in a group of 10 people or more.  Students can buy discounted theme park tickets through the Disney Youth Program.

Do Teachers Get a Discount to Disney World?

At times, teachers can get discounts on Walt Disney World theme park tickets or resort hotel rooms.  However, this is only at certain times of the year and it’s hit or miss.

Need Help Finding Discounts?

Of course, we put together this article to help you save money and to be able to find all of the current discounts in the same place so you don’t have to go searching all over for them.  However, for many people, just a list of all the discounts is not enough to make a proper decision, and they would like more help to understand which is most advantageous for them.

That’s why, we always recommend getting help from an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner first.  They are experts and understand every one of the current deals, and how to save the most money using them.

Our favorite Disney vacation planners are our friends from Show You the World Travel.  In my opinion, they have the best service hands-down, and they take all the hard work out of planning a Disney trip.

We’ve used them countless times on our personal vacations, and they always know which package is best for us and the dates and resorts we are looking for.  Plus, whenever a new discount comes out that is a better savings than what we have, they upgrade us right away and we don’t have to lift a finger.

The best part is that using an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner is absolutely free, so it never costs us any money.  To me that makes it a really easy decision.
