The promotion covers a range of Disney resorts, from value properties to deluxe accommodations. Highlights include:

  • All-Star Sports Resort: Starting at $129 per night

  • Port Orleans Resort – Riverside: $199 per night

  • Art of Animation Resort, Lion King Family Suites: $299 per night

  • Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa Deluxe Studios: $319 per night

  • Animal Kingdom Lodge, Savanna View Rooms: $429 per night

  • BoardWalk Inn Resort View Rooms: $449 per night

Stays are valid from Nov. 16 to Nov. 29 and Dec. 12 to Dec. 25, perfect for families hoping to get that classic holiday Disney experience without breaking the bank.

Bookings must be made using a payment method tied to a Georgia billing address, and guests should be ready to show proof of residency at check-in. Standard restrictions apply: some premium rooms are excluded, additional adults per room may incur charges, and this deal can’t be combined with other offers.

Why Disney Is Zooming In On Georgia

Disney’s targeting of Georgia visitors is a smart play. With the state just a short drive from Orlando, it’s an ideal market for weekend trips and holiday escapes. By giving locals a reason to book during early and mid-holiday season dates, Disney not only drives occupancy at its resorts but also generates goodwill—and potentially repeat visits—from a market with huge family travel potential.

From a business perspective, this is classic Disney: lure in nearby guests with a deal, fill hotels during strategic dates, and keep guests spending inside the parks on food, merchandise, and experiences.

Resort Highlights Worth Bookmarking

Disney’s resorts aren’t just rooms—they’re immersive experiences. Whether you’re staying in a value hotel like All-Star Sports or splurging on a savanna view at Animal Kingdom Lodge, the accommodations themselves are part of the magic.

For families, Art of Animation’s Lion King Family Suites offer themed fun, while Saratoga Springs provides a more spacious, deluxe option. Even BoardWalk Inn, with its charming waterfront vibe, is an easy walk from EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, making it ideal for multi-park visits.

Extra Perks That Make the Deal Even Sweeter

This Georgia discount is just one piece of Disney’s broader promotional puzzle. Guests can pair their hotel stay with water park perks, dining deals, and longer-stay offers:

  • Free Water Park Day: Disney Resort guests get complimentary water park admission on the day of check-in.

  • Dining for Kids: Families booking in 2026 can score a free dining plan for children ages 3–9 with a paid adult plan, stacking savings on top of the room discount.

  • Extended Stay Savings: Book four nights or more with a 4-day park ticket and save up to $250 per night.

These perks aren’t just fluff—they’re designed to get families spending more time in the parks and creating experiences they’ll want to return for year after year.

Park Experiences That Make the Trip Worth It

The timing of the Georgia discount couldn’t be better. Late November through Christmas sees the parks in full holiday mode:

  • Magic Kingdom: Enjoy “Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away,” a dazzling nighttime parade featuring classic Disney and Pixar stories. And thrill-seekers can hop on TRON Lightcycle / Run for one of the fastest coasters in the world.

  • EPCOT: Sample global cuisine at the Food & Wine Festival or dive into the holiday spirit at the Festival of the Holidays. Don’t miss the newly reimagined Test Track for a high-octane ride.

  • Hollywood Studios: “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After” and “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure” bring show-stopping theater, while Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge immerses you in intergalactic adventure.

  • Animal Kingdom: “Zootopia: Better Zoogether!” opens Nov. 7, and seasonal “Merry Menagerie” displays bring whimsical arctic animals to life around Discovery Island.

Disneyland Deals for West Coast Visitors

Disney isn’t stopping with Georgia. Disneyland Resort is offering similar promotions, with discounts of up to 20% on hotel stays through Dec. 19, 2025, and California resident tickets starting at $83 per day for a 3-Day Park Hopper. The West Coast parks also shine with seasonal experiences, from Halloween Time through Festival of Holidays and ongoing 70th Celebration events.

What This Means for Georgia Families

For families in Georgia, this deal is essentially a holiday hack: discounted rooms, exclusive perks, and access to the most festive time of year at Disney World. From a practical perspective, it allows locals to trade long travel for a few magical days without the usual peak-season price tag.

From a marketing perspective, Disney is cleverly turning proximity into profit: they’re driving bookings during key dates while giving a nearby audience a taste of Disney’s high-end resort offerings. And with the combination of hotel, dining, and ticket deals, guests are incentivized to spend more time—and more money—inside the parks, all while feeling like they scored a local-only VIP pass.

If you’re in Georgia and Disney is on your holiday radar, now is the moment to act. Whether it’s your first visit or an annual tradition, these discounted hotel rates give families a legitimate reason to pack up the car—or hop a quick flight—and soak in the parks in all their holiday glory. Disney’s Georgia-exclusive deal is more than just a discount—it’s a full-on invitation to experience the magic without stretching your wallet.
