Only Certain Guests Can Unlock Disney’s Biggest Hotel Deal of 2025

Disney vacations are magical—no doubt about it—but they’ve also become increasingly pricey. That’s why when a rare and actually significant discount comes along, it’s worth paying attention. And right now, one specific group of guests is getting a deal that’s almost too good to believe.

We’re talking about a legit 30% off deluxe hotel stays. Not value resorts. Not off-site motels. These are deluxe properties in a prime location with serious perks. But of course, there’s a catch—you have to qualify.

Florida Residents, This One’s For You

If you call Florida home, you’re in luck. The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resorts are offering up to 30% off for in-state residents. That includes the stunning Swan Reserve, which joins its sister properties with sleek rooms, walkability to the parks, and resort-style amenities that rival Disney’s own.

These hotels are located between EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, giving you prime access to both. Better yet, they come with Disney’s deluxe resort perks—like Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours—and Marriott Bonvoy members can use or earn points during their stay. It’s basically the best of Disney and Marriott combined.

Just Don’t Forget the Details

This discount isn’t automatically applied—you’ll need to either book online using promo code L9Z or call 1-888-828-8850 and request the Florida Resident Rate. And don’t forget your ID. You’ll have to show valid proof of Florida residency at check-in to keep that discount locked in.

Also, be mindful of any blackout dates or fine print that may apply. While the offer is generous, it’s not unlimited.

A Golden Opportunity for Locals

This kind of deal doesn’t roll around often, especially for deluxe-tier properties. Most Disney hotel discounts tend to focus on value or moderate resorts, so seeing this type of offer at the Swan and Dolphin is a big win. If you’re in Florida and have been waiting for the right time to visit the parks, this could be your perfect window.
