Release Dates for Full Price Vacation Packages

Release Dates for Discount Codes, Annual Passholder Discounts & Florida Resident Discounts

The chart below lists the time periods when Disney has offered major resort room and/or vacation package discounts to the public in the past few years, the approximate dates they became available, and the expiration date, when known. There may have been additional blackout dates (dates when the special discount did not apply) that are not noted; for instance, typically Easter and Thanksgiving are blacked out, plus a few days on either side of the holiday. Blackout dates are not particularly predictable and don’t always apply to every resort, so we don’t always list them.

We don’t provide the actual discounted prices from past promotions. The rates almost always go up each year, and there is no guarantee that the same level of discount will be offered from one year to the next.

Please don’t count on specific prices when planning your budget way in advance. It will only lead to disappointment. For budget purposes, the best idea is to wait until the “rack rates” (full price rates) come out for the year you’re going. Then use these guidelines to get an idea:
