Disney World recently dropped some big news that has us switching up our 2025 plans fast!
It’s no secret that a Disney World vacation can get pretty expensive. Between the hotel room, park tickets, and alllll of the snacks, we feel our bank account shudder every time we start planning a trip. That’s why we can’t resist hopping on a great deal when we see one!
And if you’re a fellow bargain hunter, take note — Disney World dropped 4 HUGE deals at the start of this year that immediately had us switching up our 2025 plans!
Let’s start with the return of a fan favorite — on January 2nd, 2025, free dining made its triumphant return to Disney World! This ultra-popular deal allows guests to get a free Dining Plan when they book a nondiscounted minimum 3-night, 3-day Disney World package, including a stay at select Disney Resorts and a theme park ticket with Park Hopper.
The free dining deal is available for arrivals most nights from May 27th to June 26th, 2025, and July 7th to August 6th, 2025, which had us immediately checking our summer calendars to see when we can fit in a trip to snag this deal!
Keep in mind that there are a limited number of packages allotted for the free dining deal, so if you’re a fellow foodie you’ll want to book as soon as possible to ensure your best shot at availabiltiy.
And that’s not the only huge deal Disney World dropped at the start of this year! On January 2nd, Disney also dropped THREE big hotel discounts — one for Annual Passholders, one for Florida residents, and one that anyone can take advantage of.
The hotel discounts allow Annual Passholders to save up to 40%, Florida residents to save up to 35%, and everyone else to save up to 30%, depending on the hotel and travel dates!
Each discount has different travel dates available, but similar to the free dining deal, they’re also concentrated around late spring through summer — summer vacay, anyone??
