Looking for special offers and discounts for your upcoming Disney vacation? Here are the most recent offers from the folks at Disney. Most offers are valid only for specific travel dates, and there are typically deadlines for booking. You can contact Disney directly, or book through a travel agent. If you use a travel agent, be sure that your agent is a graduate of the College of Disney Knowledge.
These conditions apply to virtually all special offers: The number of rooms may be limited. (That means you may not be able to book the offer for your preferred resorts, so call early.) You cannot combine special offers. Package offers typically require a minimum of 3 nights and are limited to a maximum of 10 nights.
May Magic Your Way Offer
Free Park Hopper and Water Park Fun and More Options!
Travel to Walt Disney World during May, and get free ticket upgrades if you buy a vacation package. This offer is valid for most nights if you check-in April 15-June 2.You will receive these free upgrades added to your Magic Your Way tickets:
-- Park Hopper Option, normally $45 per person. Allows you to visit more than one theme park each day.
-- Water Park Fun and More Option, normally $50 per person. Admission to the two water parks, Disney Quest and Pleasure Island venues. The number of admissions depends on the number of days on your Magic Your Way ticket.
So for a family of four, the savings would equal $480. (Of course, it's only a good value if you will use the Park Hopper and Water Park Fun and More benefits.)
Example from Disney Promotional Material: "Packages start at just $561* per adult, based on adult double occupancy, $225 per junior (ages 10-17) and $186 per child (ages 3-9) when occupying the room with an adult, at a select Disney Value Resort, standard room."
Minimum three night stay. Must book by Feb. 18, 2006. Availability may be limited on some nights.
To book: Call your travel agent, and mention booking code ZEY.
Same Offer, Different Name: Disney is also marketing the same offer as the Great Vacation Package Offer with this booking information: Call 407-939-7835 or your travel agent, and mention promotional code ZFF.
