Now is the time to book your summer 2026 vacation at Walt Disney World, especially if you’ve been looking for new ways to save on your trip. Disney World just announced five exciting new promotions for summer and into early fall, offering families multiple ways to potentially shave off hundreds of dollars from the total cost of their vacation.
Free Disney Dining Plan
Hungry for some free dining at Walt Disney World this year? You’ll be able to add the Disney Dining Plan to your vacation for free when you book a non-discounted four-night, four-day vacation package at a Disney Resort Hotel with theme park tickets that include the Park Hopper option.
This offer extends beyond the summer season, so if your Walt Disney World vacation plans extend into the fall or holiday season, you can still save big on dining.
This offer is eligible for the following vacation dates:
June 28-October 3, 2026
October 19-31, 2026
December 6-21, 2026
You must book this deal by April 30, so don’t wait if you’re interested in taking advantage of Disney’s Free Dining Plan offer.
4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket
Discounts on theme park admission are rare, so when a new one pops up, you have to take notice! Disney World is launching a special “4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket” that includes admission to one of Disney World’s theme parks each day, starting at $109 per day. That puts the total ticket price starting at $436 plus tax.
This date-based ticket can be used with start dates from May 26 to September 26, 2026. The ticket must be used within seven days of the selected start date. Visit Disney World’s website to purchase this limited-time ticket.
Save up to 30% on Disney World Resort Hotels
Disney Resort hotel discounts are another great way to save hundreds of dollars on your next trip! Disney World announced a trio of deals for this summer and into early fall, starting with a promotion that anyone can take advantage of.
You can save up to 30% on a Disney Resort hotel when you stay five nights or more and arrive between July 30 to October 3, 2026. Your total discount will vary depending on the resort hotel you book and your exact vacation dates, so be sure to reference Disney’s website for more details.
Florida Residents Save up to 35% on Disney World Resort Hotels
If you are a Florida resident, you can save even more on your next Disney World vacation. When you stay four consecutive nights or longer, Florida residents can save up to 35% on their Disney Resort hotel. This offer is valid for arrivals on most days from July 30 through October 3, 2026.
Other savings are available for shorter stays, so you don’t have to stay four nights to activate this offer. However, if you want maximum savings, you’ll want to look at those four-night stays. As with the 30% off discount above, the exact amount saved will be determined by the resort hotel you book and your vacation dates.
Annual Passholders Save up to 40% on Disney World Resort Hotels
Disney World Annual Passholders have their own special offer starting this spring. Passholders can save up to 40% on their Disney Resort hotel stay for stays of four consecutive nights or longer (other savings are available for shorter stays).
This offer is valid for stays most nights from May 1 through October 3, 2026. Exact discount will vary based on the resort hotel you book. Deluxe resorts tend to carry the higher discount, whereas the Moderate and Value resorts will offer lower discounts. But there is still savings to be had no matter which Disney World resort hotel you book.
