More 2024 Deals

Disney Resort Benefits
Disney Resort hotel guests can receive great benefits, including complimentary transportation and early theme park entry every day. And with a Disney Resort hotel reservation, guests can make dining reservations for their entire length of stay (for up to a 10-night stay) up to 60 days in advance of their arrival! This helps simplify vacation planning, by making all your reservations on the same day, rather than checking availability day after day.
At select Disney Resort hotels, you can also catch an outdoor Movie Under the Stars or take part in fun recreational activities. You may even get a surprise visit from a Disney character or two!

By booking a non-discounted 4-night/3-day room and ticket package at a WDW resort hotel, Disney+ users can receive a free standard or quick service Disney Dining Plan during most dates June 4 through September 30, 2024.
The dining plan guests receive will depend on whether they book a Value, Moderate or Deluxe resort.
