Disney offers savings to snow-weary visitors

Big spring and summer savings at Disney Resorts.

Florida is the only state in the nation currently without snow! Come down and enjoy the sunshine and special savings from the Disney Resorts in Orland.

On stays from Jan. 16-Feb. 19 and Feb. 27-March 10, stays at a Disney Value Resort are discounted to rates ranging from $82-97 per night. The lowest prices are valid on stays at the Disney Value Resort, All Star Music Resort.

If you're planning to visit later this year, the deals are even more affordable. For instance, plan a visit from Aug. 14-Sept. 29 at nightly rates from $64. This low rate is valid on Sunday-Thursday arrivals. Regular rates for these hotels in the summer can run as high as $120 per night.

This current sale includes discounts at all Disney Resorts, including choices in the Moderate, Deluxe and Deluxe Villas categories.

Why stay at a Disney Resort? Guests enjoy benefits like Extra Magic Hours for extra time in the theme parks and complimentary transportation within the Walt Disney World Resort.

Guests also receive the great benefit of airport transfers. Think of the money you'll save on a car rental!

Upon arriving to the Orlando International Airport, the complimentary Disney's Magical Express service arranges for your luggage to go straight from the plane to your room at the Walt Disney World Resort, while you ride in hassle-free comfort to your Resort hotel.

When it's time to head home, you and your bags are taken back on deluxe motor coaches from your Disney Resort hotel to the Orlando International Airport. Skip the airport check-in by picking up your return airline boarding pass and checking in your luggage at your Disney Resort hotel.
