New Discounts Offered for Walt Disney World in 2026

As we’ve reached the last quarter of 2025, Disney World has turned their attention to 2026. Along with special offers throughout the rest of this year, the resort has now dropped their special offers for next year. Most of these come in the form of room discounts along with a few package offers that include tickets and hotels. In this post, we’ll share the new 2026 discounts!

Currently, there are 4 different offers that are applicable to 2026. You can find all of these offers at this link or in the ‘Special Offers’ section of the WDW website, at the bottom of each webpage. As usual, the offer that suits you best is dependent on your vacation preference. Let’s get to the discount details where I’ll add commentary in certain sections.

Save Up to $250 Per Night on a 4-Night, 4-Day Room-and-Ticket Package

This spring, save up to $250 per night on a 4-night, 4-day (or longer) Walt Disney Travel Company room-and-ticket package at select Disney Resorts Collection hotels, for stays most nights from February 22 to July 25, 2026. Other savings are available for stays most Sunday to Thursday nights from January 4 to February 19, 2026.

  • From February 22nd to July 25th, guests can save up to $250/night at deluxe resorts ($150/night during January 4th through February 19th)
  • Moderate resorts offer a possible $150/night savings ($75/night on the earlier dates)
  • Value resorts could land you a $75/night discount ($40/night on the earlier dates)

Further details on this discount include a 4 night minimum stay with a max of 14 nights. Everyone in the room must be on the same discount package which includes purchasing a 4 day (minimum) park ticket. Like all of these discount packages, there’s a limited allotment of rooms that will be available.

Save Up to 25% on Rooms This Spring

The room discount offered for the start of 2026 is:

  • Save up to 25% on rooms for stays most nights from February 22 to April 30, 2026
  • Save up to 20% on rooms for stays most Sunday to Thursday nights from January 4 to February 19, 2026

For the later dates, this includes a 25% discount on deluxe resorts, 20% on moderate resorts and 15% on value resorts. The earlier dates (January 4 to February 19) are 20%, 15% and 10% off for deluxe, moderate and value.

There is no minimum stay or tickets necessary in this offer. In fact, we’ve jumped around almost nightly using room discount offers, picking the best deal as we go. I don’t necessarily recommend that as it isn’t the most relaxing way to vacation but goes to show the flexibility of this offer. This probably goes without saying but the longer you wait to book this offer, the less rooms will be available for the discount.

Annual Passholders: Save Up to 35% on Rooms This Spring

This is the same offer as above but with a heftier discount for passholders.

  • Save up to 35% on rooms for stays most nights from February 22 to April 30, 2026
  • Save up to 30% on rooms for stays most Sunday to Thursday nights from January 4 to February 19, 2026

Deluxe resorts offer 35% off for the later date range and 30% for the earlier. Moderates are 30% and 25% while values are 25% and 20%. The same details apply to this room discount as the previous one.

FREE Dining Plan for Kids (Ages 3 to 9) in 2026

This is less of a ‘special offer’ and more of an on-site perk for 2026. For any group that books a room and includes a Dining Plan for those 10 years or older, kids will receive a free dining plan along with it. This perk is combinable with other special offers. In other words, you could utilize any of the previous 3 offers and then just add the Disney Dining Plan at checkout for the adults in the group. If that’s done then kids will eat free.

Below is some of the fine print from the Disney World website:

  • Only for arrivals in 2026
  • Get a free dining plan for kids (ages 3 to 9) with the purchase of a Walt Disney Travel Company package for you and your children that includes:
    • A room at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel; and
    • A dining plan for each Guest ages 10 and up
  • Everyone in the same room must be on the same package.
  • Child must stay in room with adult.
  • The free dining plan included in this special offer depends on the dining plan you purchase. The Disney Dining Plan is included for kids ages 3-9 when you purchase a Disney Dining Plan for Guests ages 10 and older. The Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan is included for kids ages 3-9 when you purchase a Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan for Guests ages 10 and older.
  • To receive the free dining plan, child must be between the ages of 3 and 9 at the time of travel.
  • Children ages 3 to 9 must choose from children’s menu, if available.
  • Dining plan must be purchased for all Guests in the travel party ages 10 and up, for the entire length of stay.
  • Dining plans exclude gratuities.

That this perk is available with other discounts is a great deal. Typically, the Disney Dining Plan’s value is questionable for a family traveling. With this offer, I wouldn’t hesitate to add it to your trip if you have a kid or two in the 3-9 age range. Even when factoring in the price for 2 adults, guests should come out ahead.

As a whole, this is a strong list of offers for 2026. There’s a fairly strong advantage to staying on-site at Disney World right now, along with some great hotels to do that at. Do the math to see what’s right for you. If you’re an Annual Passholder then using the room discount is almost always the right answer. If not, then the first offer is likely the most tempting assuming you’re going to the parks for 4 or more days. But again, do the math!
