New Spring 2027 Savings on Rooms and Packages
Disney also rolled out several new discounts today, all bookable as of September 10, 2026. These offers carry blackout dates, length-of-stay minimums, and other eligibility rules that can be tricky to manage on your own. We always recommend booking through your favorite travel agent instead of doing everything by yourself. A good agent acts as your advocate with Disney, tracks these offers on your behalf, and guides you through the entire process, from matching the right discount to your dates to handling any changes that come up before you travel, all at no extra cost to you.

Plenty More to Plan Around This Spring
Beyond the festivals and after-hours events, spring 2027 brings the new Magic of Disney Animation experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, along with Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station and Zootopia: Better Zoogether! at Animal Kingdom. Classic favorites like the Festival of Fantasy Parade, Mad Tea Party, Slinky Dog Dash, and Frozen Ever After remain on the table too, so there’s something for every member of the family.
If you’re planning dinner around a Garden Rocks or DISNEY ON BROADWAY dining package, don’t forget those reservation windows open ahead of time and tend to fill fast. Set a MouseDining dining alert so you know the moment a table opens up at the restaurant you want.
