If you’ve been itching for a Disney vacation but dreading the cost, you’re definitely not alone. Between park tickets, dining, Lightning Lane upgrades, and hotel stays, a trip to Walt Disney World isn’t exactly easy on the wallet these days. But once in a while, Disney pulls out a deal that actually turns heads—and this latest one is doing exactly that.
We’ve seen plenty of offers roll out in recent months: Disney+ subscriber discounts, special pricing on kids’ tickets, and even some resort promos with decent savings. But this one? It’s a major win for a specific group of people—and it goes beyond the usual 10% here or “limited availability” there.
Let’s just say if you live in Florida, you might want to start packing.
Massive Savings on Deluxe Accommodations
Right now, Florida residents can score up to 30% off a stay at Walt Disney World’s Swan and Dolphin Resorts. That’s a pretty huge deal considering these deluxe hotels sit smack between EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. They’re managed by Marriott, which means you also get the bonus of using or earning Bonvoy points—something Disney’s traditional resorts don’t offer.
Even better? These properties still get you Early Theme Park Entry and those coveted Extended Evening Hours typically reserved for guests staying at Disney’s deluxe resorts. So, you’re getting some of the best perks Disney has to offer, without paying top-tier prices.
Here’s the Fine Print
There are, of course, a couple strings attached. First, this offer is exclusively for Florida residents. You’ll need to either call 1-888-828-8850 and mention the Florida Resident Rate or use the promo code L9Z when booking online. And yes, a valid Florida ID is required at check-in—no exceptions.
There may also be blackout dates or other restrictions, so make sure you check the Swan and Dolphin’s website for the full details before finalizing your stay.
Why This Deal Matters
With the cost of Disney trips creeping higher year after year, this kind of offer stands out in a big way. The Swan and Dolphin aren’t your standard value resorts—they’re in the deluxe tier. Getting 30% off on a resort that’s walking distance to two Disney parks, includes all the deluxe perks, and still allows you to use a hotel rewards program? That’s rare.
And even if you’re not a Florida resident yourself… well, you might want to check in with your cousin, neighbor, or college roommate who is.
With summer and fall booking windows starting to fill up, now’s the time to act if this discount applies to you. And with competition from Epic Universe heating up next year, it wouldn’t be a shock if Disney keeps rolling out more of these offers to draw people in.
Stay tuned—we’ll be keeping an eye out for more deals that make your Disney vacation a little less expensive and a lot more magical.
