Walt Disney World Package Pricing Has Gone Up Overnight
Throughout the day, we’ve been hearing reports from agents and readers that Walt Disney World package pricing has gone up over the last 24 hours. We wanted to investigate before reporting the change and can now confirm that there has indeed been a price increase. It looks like resort pricing has gone up slightly as of March 1st.
Our advice for those currently in the process of pricing out Disney packages is to double check your rates!

We spoke to a cast member today who confirmed that pricing and coding had been changed after end of play yesterday and went into effect this morning (March 1, 2022.) It should be noted that rate increases will vary depending on a myriad of factors including resort category, length of stay, room type and dates.

- Difference: $90.98.

- Cost as of 03/01/22: $4935.04
- Difference: $236.08
Example 3

I’ve already booked my Walt Disney World vacation package. Will my prices be impacted?
If you’ve booked before the rate change went into effect today than your rates will stay the same as they were at the time you booked. Package rates are guaranteed at the time of booking. The only exceptions to this would be if you move resort or dates in which case the new pricing would go into effect.

I have a quote from before 03/01/22 but I haven’t booked yet. Will my rates go up?
Walt Disney World vacation package rates are NOT guaranteed until the time of booking. If you’ve yet to pay a deposit on your package, this means that you are likely to see a slight increase. As mentioned above, rates will vary based on resort, dates and length of stay.

Why did Disney World raise vacation package prices?
Year-on-year rate increases for resort rooms, tickets, dining etc. are not uncommon at Disney World and typically happen around this time each year. It’s unlikely that we’ll see another increase like this again in the near future. However, the best way to make sure you get the current rates locked in for your Walt Disney World vacation package is to pay your $200.00 room deposit and get your package booked in as soon as you are able.
Disney World’s Flexible Booking Policy
Also, just a reminder that Disney has a flexible booking policy. A deposit of $200 is required to secure your reservation and nothing further is due until 30-days before you are due to arrive at Disney. You can also cancel at anytime prior to the 30 day mark for a full refund (including your security deposit.)
