You’ve just booked your magical getaway to Walt Disney World or Disneyland Resort and the excitement is palpable! Opting for a vacation package, complete with theme park tickets and the Disney Dining Plan, you’ve made all the right choices. But what if a money-saving discount becomes available after you’ve already secured your reservation?
Disney frequently releases discounts that could apply to your existing booking, provided there’s availability. While it might initially seem perplexing why available rooms at certain resorts don’t show discounted rates, it’s due to Disney’s segmented room inventory. Essentially, Disney maintains separate inventories for rooms at full price and various discount rates. When a discount is announced, a new batch of rooms is earmarked specifically for that promotion. Once those are booked, they’re generally gone—unless more are added or someone cancels.
Therefore, it’s vital to stay proactive. Disney doesn’t automatically apply new discounts to existing reservations. You’ll need to keep your eyes peeled for any new offers and contact Disney directly to check if your booking qualifies. This might sound cumbersome, but the potential savings make it well worth the effort.
If this process seems daunting, consider using a travel agent like Dreams Unlimited Travel. These agents not only monitor your reservation for applicable discounts but automatically apply them, meaning no extra work for you. Plus, you’ll still benefit from Disney’s pricing without any added costs, all while supporting small businesses.
Using a travel agent can streamline your vacation planning, offering as much or as little help as you need. And the best part? It doesn’t cost you a cent more than booking with Disney directly.
