If you’re ready to visit Disney World and looking for Disney World discounts in 2023, you’re in luck. Some Disney World deals have been released to help you make the most of your Disney World budget this year.

What you’ll find in this article:

First, Let’s Understand What a Disney World Discount in 2023 Entails

  • Save

Booking a Disney World discount offer in 2023 will always offer savings over standard pricing, but to take advantage of the money-saving opportunities, you need to understand how the promotions work.

Typically, only two types of Disney World promotions are offered, room only or package promotions. The first is just what the name suggests – a discount on the cost of your hotel room.

However, there are some things to know about room-only discounts.

1.  Discounts are based on occupancy levels at Disney World resorts

2.  Discounts are offered seasonally to cover certain dates of travel

3.  Not every Disney World resort will be included in a discount offer and discounts may vary across resort classes.

In simplified terms, if the powers that be see that there is a surplus of rooms in a certain date range, they will issue a room only discount to entice travelers to book a reservation. Since discounts are meant to fill resorts where there are vacancies, a room-only resort discount may not be offered for all resorts during every offer.

Discounts are also applied differently across the three resort categories—Value, Moderate and Deluxe.  You’ll see the biggest discounts at Deluxe resorts and Deluxe Villas with the lowest discounts at Value resorts. Again, Disney World discount offers in 2023 are based on supply and demand, so where the demand is highest, you’ll see lower discounts.

To put this in perspective, one Disney World discount offered in 2022 dropped the price of some deluxe resort stays by 20 percent. However, the same offer would only snip 10 percent off the cost of your value resort accommodations. With a stay at a moderate resort, you might save 15%.

It’s also important to note that only a certain number of rooms will be set aside for booking with any given Disney World deal. Under some circumstances, you may still be required to book a room at a resort by paying standard rates, if all room set aside for the discount have been booked.

When it comes to Disney World packages, there are times when Disney will offer discounts on a combination of hotel accommodations and theme park tickets. Purchasing a package deal is usually the best way to book a Disney World vacation. For one thing, the deposit is usually less, but you can also take advantage of payment plans and flexible cancellation policies. Read our blog on Disney vacation packages to learn all of the ins and outs of package bookings at Disney World.

Disney World Discounts for 2023 Available to the General Public

Up to 30% off Room Rates This Summer at Disney World

The kids are out of school, the weather is warm, why not visit Disney World this summer. With this newly released special offer, it’s a hard thought to pass by.

Guests who visit between July11 and September 14, could shave as much as 30% off the cost of a Disney World hotel stay. How much you save is dependent on where you stay and when you travel, but this is one of the biggest offers we’ve seen in many years.

One thing we found very interesting is the fact that you don’t have to stay in a deluxe category hotel to net the biggest savings. In days gone by, the biggest discounts were offered only at the more expensive properties. With the currenty special, you can book Coronado Springs, a moderate resort, at 30% off rack rates, depending on when you travel.

If you’re a Disney Visa cardholder or thinking about getting one, be sure to compare this offer with the discounts available to Disney cardholders. While the discounts sound similar, the dates and resorts do vary. You may find a better offer by booking one of these specials instead.

BIG Savings for Disney Visa Cardholders This Summer-Signing up for a New Card May Be Worth It

Disney Visa Card in front of Cinderellas Castle
  • Save

Disney Visa Cardholders can save up to 35% on Disney World hotel rooms during select dates of travel. Don’t have a Disney Visa Card? It’s not too late to apply and may be worth it. This is one of the biggest discounts on room rates we’ve seen in a long time. Plus, new card members can get a $300 statement credit after spending $1,000 in the first 3 months. That’s akin to receiving an extra $300 discount on the cost of your trip.

A recent quote we ran for travel dates in May saw the standard room rate at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn drop from an average $867 a night to $563. For the same dates, Port Orleans Riverside fell from an average nightly rate of $329 to $213.85. It’s one of the first times we’ve seen a discount this large offered for a moderate resort stay at Disney World.

With a 30% discount offered at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, the average nightly rate plummeted nearly $100 from $321 to $224. Even the 25% discount offered at Disney’s All Star Resorts is nothing to sneeze at, as discounts this large for value resorts are not typical.

Valid dates of travel:

  • May 14 to June 24, 2023
  • July 5 to August 19, 2023
  • August 27 to September 7, 2023

This ticket option is great for Florida residents thanks to built in flexibility. Visits do not have to be made consecutively, so you can decide when you go and what you do. Just remember, you do still have to make theme park reservations, and tickets are subject to availability and all tickets will EXPIRE April 27, 2023.

However, if you plan to visit Disney World weekdays, during this timeframe, you’ll score some nice savings. You can also add some additional options to increase the flexibility of your ticket.

  • Park Hopper Option: Visit more than one theme park on the same day. Add it for $40 more per ticket, plus tax.
  • Water Park and Sports Option: Visit one theme park per day, plus enjoy a visit to a water park, golf course or miniature golf course on each day of your ticket. For example, if you purchase a 2-Day Disney Weekday Magic Ticket with the Water Park and Sports Option, you can visit a Walt Disney World theme park on 2 days with a theme park reservation—and visit a Disney water park on 2 additional days by April 27, 2023. Add it for $35 more per ticket, plus tax.
  • Park Hopper Plus Option: Visit more than one park on the same day, plus visit a water park, golf course or miniature golf course on each day of your ticket. This ticket option is a combination of the Park Hopper Option and the Water Park and Sports Option. Add it for $55 more per ticket, plus tax.

How to Book a Disney World Discount on the Disney World Website

  • Save

Simply hover over “Places to Stay” in the top navigation. A drop-down box will appear. Select “View Special Offers” from the right, and you will be taken to a list of all available discounts.

To see if a particular Disney World deal is available for your resort, and more importantly, how much you can save, click on the offer. You’ll be taken to the specific details surrounding that offer, including the travel dates covered by the promotion and deadlines for booking.

After reading the information, click on “Check Availability” in the right sidebar. By doing so, you’ll be taken to the booking page. Entering your travel dates here will allow you to see which resorts are available for the offer during your vacation.

To encourage occupancy at the resorts that need it most, you may be taken to a booking page for a specific resort instead of a listing of all availability. If this happens to you and is not the accommodation you had in mind, simply click on “View All Resorts” in the upper right.

Doing so will take you to a listing of all resorts. Here, you’ll see a comparison between the standard rate and the discounted rate being offered. The system will also indicate if a resort is not available for booking under the offer you have selected.

What to Do if You Can’t Find a Disney World deal for Your Travel Range and Preferred Accommodations

If you find that the selected discount is not available during your travel dates, and you have flexibility in your travel plans, try running a search for different dates.

If that doesn’t work, you can try running each day of travel as a single one-night stay. Sometimes, there is only one date in your travel range that is completely booked for the offer. When this happens, the system will tell you that the discount on Disney resorts isn’t available for your dates of travel.

If you can isolate the fully booked date, you may be able to book a split stay. That means booking the same resort using two or three separate reservations to get the bulk of your travel covered by the discount.

For example, if you run each day independently and discover that the offer is fully booked only for the last day of your stay, you can make one reservation using the discount for the first part of your stay, and a separate one not using the discount for the last day.

This gets a little trickier if you find the non-discounted day or days are in the middle of your trip, but still doable if you don’t mind putting in a little extra effort.

While this may sound like a lot of hassle, Disney does a great job of simplifying split stays. If you notify the desk when you check in that you have more than one reservation, they will often make it possible for you to stay in the same room for both reservations.

In addition, by asking for online checkin on the subsequent reservations, you won’t have to got to the desk to check in again when the new reservation starts.

You can also consider splitting your stay across two or more different resorts. This is a great way to experience the magic of Disney in all its realms as each resort offers its own vibe and amenites.

Disney makes split stays across multiple resorts easy as well, by transfering your bags for you while you are out enjoying your daily activities. Simply drop them off at baggage check on your way to the parks. When you get to your new resort later that day, a quick call down to baggage check from your in-room phone will have them quickly delivered to your room.

Last, and most importantly, consider getting a quote from a Disney World travel professional.

Disney World Discounts the Easy Way – Let Someone Else Look for Discounts

For simplified booking, consider using a travel agent who specializes in Disney travel. You’ll get the same discounts offered through Disney online without the hassle of searching for available hotels or the best travel dates. Disney travel agents can look up pricing, provide you with a quote, and you’ll never pay more than you would booking directly through Disney.

Often, people fear that they will be required to pay a commission when working with a travel agent. This is simply not the case. Disney pays the commission to travel agencies on your hotel booking, allowing agents to book the same discounted rates you would find on the Disney website or by calling directly.

This provides travel agents who specialize in Disney with some added flexibility to combine discount reservations with concierge service. For example, we at Mickey World Travel, will go above and beyond making your hotel, ticket or package booking by also making dining reservations on your behalf. By working with a Disney World travel agent, you don’t have to get up at 5:30 am on the 60 day mark to make your ADRs, because someone else will do it for you.

Travel agents will also help you plan your days in the park, make better use of My Disney Experience and will be on call to answer any questions you might have. Best of all, they’ll continuously monitor Disney discounts as they are released and snag any newly released offers on your behalf.
