Fall 2019 Walt Disney World Discounts
Disney has yet to release discounts for the Fall of this year so it is hard to determine when the discounts will be released going into Autumn of 2020. Readers are encouraged to keep following along with MickeyBlog for the latest Disney discounts and updates.
In the meantime, those hoping to nab a discount when 2020 packages go on sale should be aware that discounts are unlikely to happen until September for stays beginning January 2020.
Should I Book My 2020 Walt Disney World Vacation Package Now or Wait Until the Discounts Come Out?
I get asked this question quite a bit by those considering booking early. My advice is to always book your Walt Disney World getaway as early as possible. This ensures that you will get the room and package that you want without having to worry about availability. When discounts come out they can simply be applied to your package so that you’re always getting the best rates out there!
Disney also offers a lot of flexibility when it comes to making changes or cancellations to your reservations. In addition to being able to apply discounts, guest can also switch your dates or cancel your reservation right up until 30-days before you are due to arrive at Disney and receive a full refund. That means if your package falls during a discount blackout period or you don’t get the savings you’d hoped for you still have options.
