Overview
- Disney is offering a marquee 2026 deal of two free room nights and theme park days with select 4‑night, 4‑day (or longer) packages for most nights May 26 through September 15, with a booking window from January 6 to February 15.
- Additional savings include Spring Into Magic room discounts, per‑night package reductions up to $250, Florida‑resident and Annual Passholder offers, a bounceback up to 35% off on future stays, and free dining plans for kids on eligible packages.
- Coverage notes that multiple large projects are limiting capacity and altering guest flow across three parks, raising the risk that discount‑driven bookings will translate into longer waits, tighter walkways, and fuller dining and viewing areas.
- DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is scheduled to close on February 2, a change expected to shift guests to remaining attractions and increase wait times in that park during the transition.
- Reporters flag event weekends as high‑impact congestion periods, including runDisney’s Princess Half Marathon (Feb 26–Mar 2), Springtime Surprise (Apr 16–19), and Wine & Dine (Oct 22–25), plus major cheer championships in late April and early May and standard holiday peaks.
