Disney just released the summer and fall discount offers. Here is what you should know if you are thinking of booking a trip to Disney between May and October 2025.

Discounts on meal plans, tickets, and rooms are all available. However, the dates vary and you cannot combine offers when booking packages.

FREE Dining Plan

Yes, you read that right! Disney is offering a free dining plan for summer, fall, and winter resort guests. Here are the important details:

• You must have a non-discounted 4-night, 4-day (minimum) resort/ticket package booked
• SELECT Disney Deluxe Hotels get the Disney Dining Plan (this includes sit-down and quick service meals)
• SELECT Disney Value and Moderate Hotels get the Disney Quick Service meal plan (this does not include sit-down meals).
• Good for arrival most nights June 29 to September 30, 2025; October 20 to November 1, 2025; December 6 to December 22, 2025

This is a good deal if you are planning on going to Disney at a time when you cannot get a room or other ticket discount. However, generally speaking, this is the least exciting and money saving of the deals offered by Disney when compared to the Stay Longer and Save and Ticket deals. But, if you are not getting another discount then this is one you should ask your booking agent about!

Kids 50% off Ticket

It is important to note that far as Disney is concerned “kids” are ages 3-9. Younger than 3, you are free and older then 9 you are treated as an adult in terms of pricing for tickets and meals. Other important details about this offer:

• Ticket start dates from May 27 through September 20, 2025
• Only good on tickets that are 3-days or longer
• Cannot be combined with other offers (although sometimes there are work around to this)
• You can add-on park hopper/park-hopper plus (this isn’t always the case with ticket deals)

Like the meal deal, if you were going during a time where a discount room was an option (and you planned on staying on property) then the room discount will likely save you more money. A travel agent might be able to figure out how to help you get both discounts if things are booked separately and not as a package.

Stay Longer and Save Resort Discounts

The resort discounts tend to be the biggest money savers if you planned on staying on property. I have certainly taken advantage of this offer for the Art of Animation resort. Here is the one that was released for summer/fall 2025:

• Valid for stays most nights from August 1 to October 11, 2025
• Depending on resort and date, your stay may be elegibile for a discount even if you stay fewer than 5 consecutive nights
• Discount varies (15-30%) depending on resort, date, and number of nights
• There are a limited number of rooms available for this offer

Celebrate Summer 3-day 3-park Ticket

This offer seems like a great deal, and it is if you don’t care about going to Magic Kingdom or park hopping. With this date based ticket deal, you can go to one park a day for 3 days starting at $89/pp per day. Which at it’s cheapest works out to $276/pp + tax. If you are staying off property or on propoerty for full price (no other discount) this is likely a good deal. If you had planned on going to all 4 parks, then you can purchase a full price ticket for Magic Kingdom in addition to this 3 day deal. Here are the details:

• Start dates from April 6 – September 22, 2025
• Tickets must be used within 5 days of start date
• Cannot be used to enter Magic Kingdom

It is really important to check the calendar for this particular deal. The typical starting price for a disney one park ticket is $119/pp per day and that is depending on which park you are going to. Here is an example of how the pricing works and how regular pricing compares to this deal:

If you wanted to purchase a full price 3-day ticket with a starting date of April 6 the price is $492 per person (but you can go to Magic Kingdom).

If you go with the 3-Day 3-Park deal and select April 6 it is $360/pp. That price is not $89 per day, but it is a lot less expensive than purchasing the tickets without the deal. August and September have the most $89 ticket prices available.

Disney typically runs similar deals each year at different points in the year. The important questions to ask are:

• Do you plan on staying on Disney property?
• Are your dates flexible?
• Do you want to go to specific parks?
• Did you plan on purchasing a meal plan?

A good Disney travel agent can help you navigate all of these details!
