We previously shared the news that two special offers landed today for Walt Disney World Resort Guests. Guests can currently save up to $500 on a 5-night stay at select hotels. Another promotion allows for Annual Passholders and Florida Residents to save up to 25% on select Resorts. So, of course, Disney fans are jumping at the discounts which have been a challenge for the Disney website.
