Walt Disney World has released new Summer 2025 resort room-only discounts for Disney+ subscribers that offers rooms for as low as $99 per night. This post shares the details of these special offers, commentary about why there’s such a shortage of savings, plus sample pricing, analysis & other info.

This is one of many deals that Walt Disney World has released for 2025 vacations, with special offers for Annual Passholders, Floridians, and Disney Visa cardholders. For every other special offer that’s currently available, see All Current Walt Disney World Discounts for 2025. The current big discounts for this same time frame are Stay Longer & Save Up to 30% Off WDW Rooms and 2025 Free Dining at Walt Disney World.

This Disney+ subscriber room discount will almost certainly be better for most Walt Disney World guests than Free Dining. While the siren song of free food is certainly alluring, there’s no such thing as a free lunch–that special offer has some catches that might actually make this D+ discount paired with the 3-Park Magic Discount Walt Disney World Ticket and/or the 50% Off Kids Ticket Deal for Walt Disney World a better option!

On a different note, if you’re not a Disney+ subscriber, you still should check out this discounts. Unlike Annual Pass discounts, you don’t really need to “crunch the numbers” to determine if you would save more by one member of your party purchasing a Disney+ subscription if you don’t already have one. I can answer that for you right now: you almost certainly will.

The cost of Disney+ for two months is negligible, whereas this could save you several hundreds of dollars. In all likelihood, the additional savings will exceed the additional cost. That’s especially true given that the highlighted room deals we’re seeing here are more aggressive than AP rates for the same dates.

If you’re having an issue with your Disney+ account being recognized, try logging into Disneyplus.com first. You should be able to go into your Disney+ account and update the email address associated with that to match your My Disney Experience account. Should is the operative word, as this won’t always work. If it doesn’t, try calling Disney+ customer service at 888-905-7888. Do not call Walt Disney World, as it’s unlikely they’ll be able to help you out.

Another option is logging into Disneyworld.com with your Disney+ account login, booking a room under that, and worrying about account consolidation at a later date. (Trust me, you do not want multiple Disney accounts–it causes all sorts of unanticipated problems. I speak from experience, including today!)

If you just signed up for Disney+, try again approximately 60 minutes after you subscribed. If you’re still having issues, log out of everything, then log back into Disneyplus.com. After that, visit Disneyworld.com. It should work then. You might need to try private browsing, too. (That’s what I had to do to get this working.)

Here are the official details for the new discount:

Disney+ subscribers can enjoy summer savings with great rates on rooms at select Walt Disney World Resort Collection hotels, starting from $99 per night. This offer is valid on 2-night stays or longer, most nights from June 29 to July 31, 2025. The offer is limited to the following room types:

• $99 Per Night for Standard Rooms at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort
• $169 Per Night for Woods View Rooms at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside
• $229 Per Night for Cars Family Suites at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
• $249 Per Night for Deluxe Studios at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort
• $339 Per Night for Savanna View Rooms at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

Here’s a look at what we saw when searching for availability:

Note that Walt Disney World indicates that “other savings may be available,” which I assume means other room types at these same resorts. In none of my searches were other resorts shown, but other room types were.

I also couldn’t find a single set of dates that had every resort available with its deepest discount. So you might want to book ASAP if you’re trying to find the most in-demand options. (From my cursory searches, it looked like the Cars Family Suites had the least availability.)

In general, summer is one of the most consistent times to visit Walt Disney World, price-wise. With the exception of Independence Day, prices are more or less the same across the calendar in June and July 2025. Rates are generally higher, but with fewer spikes than other school breaks.

Friday and Saturday will be the most expensive days of the week, with Sunday through Thursday costing less. So if you’re looking to maximize savings, your best bet is to avoid the weekends. (Even so, the difference isn’t that pronounced–it’s not as bad as other times of the year.)

Turning to analysis of this Disney+ subscriber discount, it is excellent when it comes to the highlighted resorts! In searching for availability with the 40% Annual Passholder rate, which is otherwise the best available discount, here are the cheapest rooms I found for the highlighted resorts:

• $117 Per Night at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort
• $179 Per Night at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside
• $404 Per Night for Cars Family Suites at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
• $287 Per Night at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort
• $393 Per Night for Savanna View Rooms at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

Again, here are the cheapest rates via the Disney+ subscriber discount:

• $99 Per Night for Standard Rooms at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort
• $169 Per Night for Woods View Rooms at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside
• $229 Per Night for Cars Family Suites at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
• $249 Per Night for Deluxe Studios at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort
• $339 Per Night for Savanna View Rooms at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

In every single case, the best rate via the Disney+ subscriber discount wins.

Just to reiterate, the AP discount that we’re using as a comparison is really good–so if you’re previously booked under the Stay Longer & Save More, FL resident deal, or anything else–you might want to rebook under this Disney+ subscriber special offer.

These are fantastic deals across the board, but I want to call your attention to are the Cars Family Suites at Disney’s Art of Animation, which has a rack rate of $579 per night; the Savanna View Rooms at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge with a rack rate of $658. That means either of these options are over 50% off for Disney+ subscribers. Those are HUGE discounts…subject to availability, of course!

Digging back through past discounts, this are better than anything we’ve seen since early 2021. During the post-reopening period, there were a few unique discounts (e.g. ‘Southerner Savings’ and PIN codes emailed to most past hotel guests) that were roughly on par with this. It’s not exactly an apples to apples comparison, though. Prior to that, the openings of Gran Destino Tower and Riviera Resort in 2019 generated exceptional deals in an attempt to fill those new resorts.

But during normal times? I cannot find anything this good for as long as we’ve been tracking Walt Disney World discounts. That suggests to me that these are not normal times…which is something we’ve been hinting at for a bit. (Forward guidance on Disney’s next earnings call should be, ahem, interesting!)

Some readers complained about the previous Disney+ deals at Walt Disney World, but we think that’s misguided. From our perspective, this is significant in it’s an affiliation offer with a very low barrier to entry. Subscribing to Disney+ is much cheaper than buying an Annual Pass or moving to Florida. As attractive as the latter option might sound to WDW diehards, it’s definitely not for everyone!

Despite that, many members of the general public simply won’t even consider doing that in order to qualify for these savings. That makes no economic sense–spending $10 to potentially save hundreds of dollars on a hotel is an absolute no-brainer decision–but it’s how deals like this always play out.

Any barrier to entry is too much for many people. That’s bad for those who don’t do their due diligence, but great for those who do–it means less competition. (This is the Walt Disney World vacation planning story, in a nutshell.)

As for why Walt Disney World is making it easier to qualify for an affiliation discount on rooms, the answer is simple: Disney+ is the company’s focus and fixation. There’s a misconception about Disney+ being incredibly profitable–although it’s getting better, it’s still barely breaking even. And despite domestic growth, it has still been losing international subscribers, which means its overall numbers appear to be shrinking.

While this deal appears to be a perk for Disney+ subscribers, it’s also another attempt to incentivize new subscriptions. (Every single streaming service is heavily subsidized right now–none are viable with their present business models, so enjoy this while it lasts!) Hence this Disney+ subscriber discount on Walt Disney World resorts.

It’s a way to juice Disney+ subscriber numbers, which will in turn help the company beat analyst expectations and impress Wall Street, which will in turn boost the company’s stock price. For better or worse, the company revolves around Disney+ right now. It is the big thing. That’s slowly changing, thankfully, but that’s primarily what this deal is about.

Primarily…but not exclusively. It’s also true that Walt Disney World is not required to offer massive savings to Disney+ subscribers that surpass even Annual Passholder rates. That’s a choice, and one presumably being made because summer occupancy is low. And that isn’t exactly shocking. In the real world, there’s a lot of economic uncertainty and travel trepediations as consumer confidence dips and fears of a recession rise. And that’s to say nothing of international travel, which has already plummeted from Canada and is likely to drop for other markets, as well.

Then there’s what’s happening in the theme parks universe. Speaking of, Epic Universe is opening down the street. While Walt Disney World’s public line has been that a “rising tide lifts all ships,” that’s only true if there’s the tide actually is rising. Everything we’ve heard suggests that Universal has likewise been struggling with summer bookings.

Then there are Walt Disney World’s own offerings, the only two of which with confirmed debut dates are stage shows at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The headliner, Disney Starlight Night Parade at Magic Kingdom, still lacks an opening date. So there isn’t a whole lot to draw guests to the parks in the next few months, beyond “Cool Kid Summer,” and details about that are still minimal.

Ultimately, if you’re Disney+ subscriber who is eager for a Summer 2025 vacation at Walt Disney World, these deals are as good as it’s going to get. With it being too late for renting DVC points (except for matching with a confirmed reservation), your only other alternative is checking out off-site or third party hotels, both of which do have better deals for holiday travel dates.
