Up to 35% Off Disney World AP Resort Discounts in Winter & Spring 2027

Walt Disney World has released resort room-only discounts for the first several months of next year for Annual Passholders with savings of up to 35% off from early January through late April 2027. This post shares the details of these special offers, best dates to save the most money, plus sample pricing, commentary, analysis & other info.

In case you’ve forgotten, there are currently other special offers for Annual Passholders and Floridians that run between now and year’s end. Generally speaking, the AP discount is better. That’s almost always the case, as Annual Passholders usually receive 5-10% better savings than Floridians. All other details (eligible dates, resorts in each tier, room inventory, etc.) are typically identically between the special offers. Hence our lumping them together here.

Those aren’t the only deals available for booking right now–just the one for Annual Passholders. For everything else, see All Current Walt Disney World Discounts. That covers promos for the general public, Florida residents, military members, and everyone else. There are promos available for pretty much all dates between now and December 2026 (although many dates are sold out). So that’s worth checking out if you’re debating a trip in the next several months. But what we’ll be looking at today is the first slew of discounts for that run through Summer 2027…

Alternatively, if you want to take advantage of either discount but want someone else to do the work, we’d recommend requesting a FREE no obligation quote from Be Our Guest Vacations, an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner and having them book for you. They will happy to assist you with the planning process, help you choose the most economical dates, best add-ons, and so forth. Notably, they also monitor reservations and can retroactively apply new discounts if a better deal is released to save you more money.

Here’s a sampling of available rates for the Annual Passholder discount:

This search is for the night of February 2, 2027, which is part of the “value” rate season at Walt Disney World. On the rack rate chart spectrum, this is the least expensive time to visit Walt Disney World. Similarly-priced dates can be found throughout January and February 2027, and slightly higher (but still relatively reasonable) rates are available in early March.

You might notice that this is for a date that offers lower savings per the above AP discount chart. And while that’s true, the starting rack rates are also lower. In doing quick sample searches, whether January and February or later dates are cheaper largely depends on what’s available room category-wise at each resort. Once you get to Spring Break, rack rates jump so much that they superior savings can’t overcome the higher base prices.

Rates also vary on different days of the week. Friday through Sunday nights are all going to be more expensive, and less consistent. In general, Friday and Saturday will be the most expensive days of the week, with Sunday through Thursday costing less–but still more than Monday through Wednesday nights. Holiday weeks are also more expensive. Basically, room rates are higher any time when kids are out of school.

My assessment this discount is positive. With that said, there really isn’t a whole lot to say about these Annual Passholder rates for the first quarter of 2027.

In quickly glancing at the rate charts for what was offered this year versus what’s offered next year, it’s mostly unchanged. We’re talking the same percentage savings for the most part, and nearly identical dates (+/- a single day). Honestly, I’m fine with that. Little change is a very good thing given how occupancy was last winter–I was worried that discounts would be materially worse.

Generally speaking, it’s difficult to complain about these rates–although we do notice several hotels are about +$10 to +$50 more expensive per night than last year. At this point, it’s difficult to tell whether that’s a result of our specific searches or across the board rack rate increases that more or less track with inflation.

If you’re still not sure of which hotel to book, be sure to check out our new Rankings of ALL Resort Hotels at Walt Disney World from Worst to Best. Several of the resorts with the biggest savings are in the top 10!

Ultimately, if you’re an Annual Passholder who is eager for an EPCOT Festival of the Arts getaway to Walt Disney World, these deals are really strong.  You can still do better with Disney Vacation Club Point Rentals, but the gap is starting to close and it’s too late to rent for most of these dates, anyway.

We always go in late January or early February, as that’s one of the least-crowded times of the entire year at Walt Disney World. It’s also one of the cheapest times to visit, as evidenced by the above resort rates. Oh, and the weather is usually much, much better than just a couple months later. Crowds can be slightly higher than they used to be (remember: Winter is NOT off-season anymore!), but it’s a tradeoff we will happily take for temperatures cooler and prices that are lower!

We will continue to closely monitoring discounts as they’re released and will notify subscribers of our free email newsletter when any Walt Disney World discounts are released or rumored!
