5. Disney's Animal Kingdom brings back free dining gift card offer

Last year Disney announced the Disney's Animal Kingdom Tasting Sampler, which was a special limited-time promotion that allowed guests to try food and beverages around the park, while also reserving a seat for Rivers of Light as well and even get some free money back. And now Disney is bringing back this promotion for 2019, and with even MORE free money. 

This year's promotion costs $50 and includes two digital value cards: one $50 card that can be used at over 40 outdoor food and beverage locations throughout the park, and a bonus $10 card that can be used at quick-service restaurants in the park after 4pm.Though this package is more expensive than last yer's deal (which was $35), the free money has doubled (last year's "bonus" card was only $5). 

In addition to the free money for dining, guests who book this deal will receive two reserved seats for the second showing of Rivers of Light: We are One, which must be redeemed between December 22, 2019 and January 4, 2020.

Like last year, this experience will only be available during the holiday season from December 22, 2019 through January 4, 2020

Back in 2018, Disney made the unexpected move of expanding the extended 60-day FastPass+ booking window to include properties near Disney Springs on Hotel Plaza Boulevard and the surrounding Good Neighbor hotels. Though these hotels are not Disney-owned, they have enjoyed some perks in the past, including Extra Magic Hours and special character experiences, and the addition of the extra FastPass+ booking windows was certainly a welcome new perk for guests staying at these budget-friendly locations. And now it has been revealed that guests staying at these hotels will be able to contine to enjoy this perk for a while, as Disney has officially said this additional booking window will be available to guests staying at these hotels all through 2020.
