Through midnight, Delta and AirTran offer a one-way rate of $64 to Orlando on trips started on or after Aug. 19 and finished on or before Nov. 17. This bargain rate is valid Tuesdays, Wednesday or Saturdays with other days priced at $84.

The hotel is within walking distance of Downtown Disney and offers complimentary transportation to all Disney theme parks and priority seating for Disney dinner shows and Disney restaurants, plus preferred tee times at all four of the Disney Championship golf courses. On-site is a swimming pool, fitness center, arcade room, four lighted tennis courts and a trio of dining options (kids age 10 and younger eat free with paying adults).
Rates at the Royal Plaza Hotel are regularly $139 per night, but stays from Aug. 1-Sept. 30 are just $69 per evening. Additionally, the hotel will offer a complimentary room upgrade, when available. Other amenities include complimentary theme park shuttle service and buy-one-get-one free breakfasts and dinners. Hotel blackout dates include Aug. 21-24, Sept. 11-14; 17-18.
If you book at least seven days in advance of your arrival you can get up to four free days of Disney Park admission, including Park Hopper Passes when you book your Walt Disney World Park Hopper Tickets on BookIt.com.
