Stay at a select Disney Value Resort through Nov. 22 or Nov. 29-Dec. 6 or Dec. 14-23 at a special rate of $59. This deal is valid on most nights on Sunday-Thursday arrivals. Bookings must be made by Dec. 7 by calling 407-939-7606 and mentioning booking code DMK. Or, visit http://www.disneyworld.com and click at Tickets & Reservations and then at Special Offers.

One of the best benefits of staying at a Disney Resort is Disney’s Magical Express Transportation - complimentary round-trip airport-to-resort service from Orlando International Airport to your Disney Resort - including checked luggage handling. This great service lets you not only forgo a pricey rental car but lets you bypass the hectic baggage claim area on your arrival (proceed to the Disney Welcome Center) and bypass airport check-in completely on the trip home. When you’re ready to head back home, check-in with your airline, get your boarding pass and check your luggage right - all at your Disney Resort. Advance reservations mandatory.
