In advance of what may be a disappointing attendance report for the summer at Walt Disney World, the resort has gone ahead and released some deep discounts for guests planning their 2020 vacation in the final months of 2019!

If you are thinking about going to a Disney park in the beginning months of 2020 (and especially if you are staying on property, bringing small children or Florida Resident), here are some easy ways you can save some money that you should definitely know about!

1. Kids eat free early next year (with Frozen 2 "Welcome Pack" bonus!)

Disney is offering families visiting the resort early next year the chance to get a free dining plan for kids (ages 3 to 9) with the purchase of a non-discounted 3-night/3-day package that includes a room at a select Disney Value Resort hotel, theme park tickets and a dining plan. This new deal is available for arrivals most nights from January 1 – March 7, 2020 when this deal is booked before January 1, 2020.

All 3 dining plans—Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan, Disney Dining Plan and Disney Deluxe Dining Plan—are eligible with this offer, but everyone in the party must be on the same package. For instance, if a guest purchases a package with the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan, then the children (ages 3 to 9) on that package will receive the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan for free.

In addition to the free dining, guests who book this offer will receive a Frozen Welcome Pack, which includes:

Voucher for one stroller rental for the length of your stay
Voucher for one in-park 5x7 photo print per room
One merchandise bag per room including a plush, book and 2 treats.

2. Early 2020 room-only discount now available (with $30 Gift Card Bonus)

Disney has a new offer available for room-only stays at the Walt Disney World Resort hotels that allow guests to save up to 25% on rooms at select Disney Resort hotels in early next year on most nights from January 1st – April 25th 2020 when booked by January 1st 2020.

In addition to the room discount, guests who upgrade to a package by adding 6-day or longer theme park tickets, will receive a special gift of a $30 USD Disney Gift Card for every person in your party (ages 3 and up).
