Full List of Disney World Hotel Perks for 2027

Hotels have been a major part of the Walt Disney World experience since 1971, when the resort opened with the Contemporary and Polynesian. And for all those 50+ years, hotel guests have always had access to numerous perks while staying on property, ranging from transportation to dining and park access.

That will continue into 2027, when a slew of new and old perks will be available for guests staying on Disney World property.

Dining Plan Changes

2027 will see the introduction of the new Disney Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plan, which will include:

• Two table service entrées, dessert (lunch and dinner only), OR full buffet.
• Guests under 21 years of age can choose one non-alcoholic beverage with their Quick Service and Table Service meal (including specialty beverages for guests 10 years old and over — i.e., Artisanal Milk Shakes,  Fresh Smoothies, Premium Hot Chocolates, or Soda, Coffee, or Tea — where offered).
• Guests 21 and older can choose either one non-alcoholic beverage (including specialty beverages where offered) or one single serving mixed cocktail, beer, or wine (where offered) within their meal entitlement.
• One quick service meal, including entrée OR combo meal;
• Guests under 21 years of age can choose one non-alcoholic beverage with their Quick Service and Table Service meal (including specialty beverages for guests 10 years old and over — i.e., Artisanal Milk Shakes,  Fresh Smoothies, Premium Hot Chocolates, or Soda, Coffee, or Tea — where offered).
• Guests 21 and older can choose either one non-alcoholic beverage (including specialty beverages where offered) or one single serving mixed cocktail, beer, or wine (where offered) within their meal entitlement.
• One snack/nonalcoholic drink
• One Resort refillable drink mug per person, per package

The new plan will cost $163.01 per adult per night, ages 10 and up, and $46.85 per child per night, ages 3 to 9. This new dining plan will join the two preexisting dining plan tiers!

The first offers 20% on dining for kids (ages 3 to 9) when a guest purchases a package that includes a Dining Plan for their family. The second offers guests visiting Disney World from the United Kingdom and Ireland a Free Disney Dining Plan discount.

To be eligible for this offer, they’ll need to book a full-price Walt Disney World package, which includes the hotel and park tickets, for a minimum of five nights and a maximum of 21 nights in a participating resort hotel. The package needs to be booked by November 4th, 2026, for most arrival dates between January 3rd and December 19th, 2027.

The Water Park Perk Is Confirmed to Return

In 2025, Disney introduced a new water park perk for hotel guests, which gave each member of their party admission to one of Walt Disney World’s water parks on their check-in day throughout the year. The perk returned from May 26th to September 8th in 2026, and is confirmed to be returning once again in the summer of 2027.

Transportation

Disney World offers free transportation to hotel guests to get to and from the theme parks. Methods include buses, watercraft, the Walt Disney World Monorail, and the Skyliner. (Though guests should note that the Skyliner will be closed for its annual refurbishment from January 24th through the 30th).

30 Minute Early Entry

Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels (and select other hotels) can take advantage of a 30 Minute Early entry into each of Walt Disney World’s theme parks every day of their stay (including check-in and check-out days).

Extended Evening Hours

Offered at select Walt Disney World theme parks on select nights, these evenings offer two extra hours after the park closes to the general public. However, these two extra hours are only available to guests at Disney Deluxe Tier or Deluxe Villa resorts.

Early Booking Windows

The Ability to book Lightning Lanes (7 days vs 3) and Advance Dining Reservations (60 days out from their day of arrival for their whole trip, up to 10 days vs 60 days from each day) earlier than non-hotel guests.

Will Cool Kids’ Summer Return?

For two consecutive years, Disney has offered the Cool Kids Summer promotion, which featured a series of offerings at Disney hotels. For example, the 2026 offerings included:

• Scheduled Character Appearances: Meet some favorite Disney pals—like Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse—during scheduled appearances.
• Special Libraries: Little ones can celebrate Disney stories in libraries provided by Disney Publishing, where the magic of their imaginations can come alive with tales of princesses, heroes, and more.
• Pajama Party: Wind down with your family during story time! Participate in a “create your own bedtime story” activity, where the magic of a good book comes to life with the arrival of a favorite Disney Character.
• Pool Party: Make a splash at a high-energy poolside experience with games and music for the whole family.
• Campfire: Gather ‘round for a celebration filled with marshmallows and Disney-infused entertainment.

It remains to be confirmed if the event will return in 2027.

Guests staying at a Disney World in 2027 have access to a slew of special – and limited – game-changing perks! Stay tuned to AllEars for more coverage of Disney’s special offers.
