Travel Dates: June 20 – August 8, 2009

Walt Disney World has released a new Magic Your Way package discount for the travel dates listed above. You must check in during the travel dates listed above to receive the discount, and it appears as though as long as you check in during the travel dates, you will receive the discount for your entire stay. This discount overlaps with the previously released buy 4 get 3 free promotion. For almost everyone who booked the buy four get three free deal, you are better off with what you have. However, if your reservations falls under one of the items below, you might be better of looking at this new discounts:

• Your are staying more or less than 7 nights.

The discounts of this package will correspond with the room only discounts released for the same travel dates. The Magic Your Way package allows you to add park passes and the Disney Dining Plans to your reservation. Availability is extremely limited, and you must book this package by June 21, 2009.

One thing to note is that Disney World is also including a special “club level” discount, available only at resorts with concierge rooms, so Coronado Springs, Animal Kingdom Villas (Jambo) and the deluxe resorts. Historically, concierge rooms are rarely discounted. The discount seems to be substantial as well, over $200 per night at the deluxe resorts I checked. In fact, many of the concierge rooms will be very close in price to the non-concierge rooms in price. Typically the upgrade to concierge runs about $100 per night, with this discount, it appears to be closer to $40 per night.

Standard additions to the Magic Your Way packages are available, such as the Disney Dining and Deluxe dining options. 

If you happened to book the Free Disney Dining package previously available for some of these dates, under  most circumstances, the free dining is a better offer. If you are booked at a value or moderate resort, no need to do any math. If you are staying at a deluxe or DVC resort, it is possible that this new discount may save you more money than the free dining. In many cases, this discount will save you more than $100 per night at a deluxe or DVC resort, and depending on your family breakdown, may be a better deal.
