This NEW Disney World Discount Is a GAME CHANGER

Summer 2025 may be a game changer for Walt Disney World pricing, as the company has unleashed a slew of discounts on tickets, hotels, and dining for the upcoming season.

These discounts, especially when combined, can be game-changing for a trip to Disney World, as they can arguably make a trip to “The Most Magical Place on Earth” arguably “cheaper” for the first time in a long time.

Some of these discounts include:

$89 Per Day 3-Day, 3-Park Ticket: For visits between April 6th and September 22nd, Disney is offering a 3-day, 3-park ticket starting at $89 per day ($267 total, plus tax) for EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. (NOTE: These tickets are not valid for admission to Magic Kingdom).
Half-Off Kids Tickets: From May 27th through September 20th, 3-day or longer standard Walt Disney World theme park tickets for kids (ages 3 to 9) are 50% off their normal price.
Early Summer 30% Off Rooms: From May 1st and July 31st, Disney is offering up to 30% on rooms at “select Disney Resorts Collection hotels when you stay 5 consecutive nights.” However, these “Early Summer” dates aren’t the ONLY time you can save 30% off on a Disney hotel room.
Late Summer Fall 30% Off Rooms: From August 1st to October 11th (so yes, the very next day), Disney is also offering up to 30% off on rooms at select Disney Resorts Collection hotels when you stay 5 consecutive nights.”
Annual Passholder Savings: AP Holders can save up to 40% on Rooms for stays on select nights from June 1st to July 31st. In addition, lesser discounts are available for stays from May 1st through the 31st.
FREE Dining Plan: Disney is offering FREE Dining Plans with the purchase of a “non-discounted 4-night, 4-day Walt Disney Travel Company package that includes a room at a select Disney Resorts Collection hotel and a theme park ticket with a Park Hopper option” in the following date ranges: June 29th to September 30th, October 20th to November 1st, and December 6th to December 22nd.

So, why is Disney offering more discounts this year than at any other time since the pandemic? There are likely several issues at play:

The first is the economy. Between inflation and a decrease in international tourism based on political factors, Disney is potentially facing a soft financial demand for theme park visits this summer, and is arguably compensating with discounts without the optic of “lowering” prices.

The second is arguably the opening of Epic Universe. While many Disney fans and even executives may argue that the opening of Universal’s new theme park is nothing but beneficial for Disney (which to be fair, has some historical precedent on its side) there’s no denying that Epic Universe has a lot of hype and initially positive reviews behind it, Therefore, it stands to reason that Disney may be preemptively reacting to the new park. If nothing else, these discounts may lead to some travelers who were only planning on visiting Universal to see Epic Universe to add some Disney days to their trip.
