Here at Disney Fashionista, we are already dreaming of sunshine, snacks, and Cinderella Castle because summer at Walt Disney World in 2026 is shaping up to be unforgettable. Walt Disney World is the place to be this summer, and you don’t want to miss it. Cool KIDS’ SUMMER will return from May 26 to September 8, 2026, bringing attraction refreshes, new experiences, and limited-time activities designed for the whole family. With so much in store, we are officially calling 2026 the Summer of Disney.
Even better, Disney has released some fantastic deals to help you get there. Since everyone loves saving money on vacation, we gathered all the details you need to stretch your budget while still soaking up every magical moment.
Walt Disney World Summer 2026 Deals
Summer already offers some of the best ticket values of the year, along with longer park hours and seasonal offerings. Combine that with the new promotions available to book beginning January 6, 2026, and you are set for a vacation full of value and fun.
Add Free Days to Your Stay
First up is one of our favorite offers: bonus room nights and theme park days. Guests can receive two free room nights and two free theme park days when purchasing a select 4-night, 4-day (or longer) Walt Disney Travel Company room and ticket package.
That means at least six magical days to ride your favorites, relax by the pool, enjoy nighttime spectaculars, and explore at your own pace. This special offer is valid for most nights from May 26 through September 15, 2026, and must be booked between January 6 and February 15, 2026.
Disney Resort Deal
If you are more focused on your resort stay, there is also a great discount available. You can save up to 30% on select Disney Resort hotels for stays most nights May 1 through October 4, 2026. This is a fantastic way to upgrade to a new resort, try out the Skyliner line-up, or simply enjoy more luxury for less.
Florida Residents and Annual Passholder Deals
Florida Residents and Annual Passholders get extra magic, too. Florida Residents can save up to 35% on rooms at select Disney Resort hotels, while Annual Passholders can save up to 40% this summer. Details for these deals will also be available beginning January 6, 2026, so mark your calendars.
Visit a Water Park for Free on Your Check-In Day
A really fun perk returns this year as well. Guests staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel between May 26 and September 8, 2026, can enjoy free admission to one of the Walt Disney World water parks on their check-in day. Both Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and Disney’s Blizzard Beach are scheduled to be open, so you can choose whether your family is in the mood for tropical waves or icy, snow-themed fun. It is the perfect way to beat the Florida heat from the moment you arrive.
Free Dining Plan for Kids
Foodies and families will love this last deal. In 2026, guests can receive a free dining plan for kids ages 3 to 9 when purchasing a package that includes a dining plan for guests ages 10 and up and a stay at a Disney Resort hotel. Dining plans make vacationing incredibly convenient by allowing you to prepay for meals and snacks. Add in free dining for kids, and it becomes an even bigger win for your wallet.
With Cool KIDS’ SUMMER entertainment, refreshing water parks, and these amazing discounts, summer 2026 is the perfect time to plan your next Walt Disney World vacation. Offers will be available to view beginning January 6, 2026, at DisneyWorld.com/offers, so get ready to book, pack your sunscreen, and enjoy the coolest summer yet at Walt Disney World.
