Walt Disney World has a new way to save on a winter resort stay, as long as you’re sure about your dates. A new prepay offer brings special nonrefundable rates to four Disney Resort hotels this December and in early 2027. The trade-off is in the name: guests pay for everything up front, and Disney won’t refund or change the reservation for any reason.
Disney World Winter Prepay Resort Offer: Rates, Dates, and Rules

IN THIS ARTICLE:
- Nightly rates at all four participating resorts, plus the room type tied to each one.
- Eligible stay dates in December 2026 and January and February 2027.
- The payment terms and other rules to know before booking.
Several of the room discounts on Disney’s calendar right now take a percentage off the regular rate. This one sets a flat price per night instead, and it gives up flexibility to get to a lower price. Its January and February dates match the Sunday-to-Thursday window from the Spring 2027 offers Disney announced in September. Winter travelers now have one more rate to compare.
Disney says rates start at $99 per night, plus tax, at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort. Every resort in the offer has one eligible room type. Here are the nightly ranges before tax:
- Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort (Standard Room): $99 to $139
- Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside (Standard Location 5th Sleeper Room): $199 to $249
- Disney’s Art of Animation Resort (Cars Family Suite): $299 to $349
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge (Savanna View Room): $449 to $499
The lineup covers a Value room, a Moderate room built for a fifth guest, a Value family suite, and a Deluxe room with a view of the savanna. Disney bases the savings on the nondiscounted price for the same room, but the offer page doesn’t list a percentage. Additional charges may apply for more than two adults in a room.
Stay Dates and Prepay Rules
The offer covers two windows on either side of the new year:
- Most nights from December 13 to 24, 2026
- Most Sunday-to-Thursday nights from January 3 to February 25, 2027
Stays need at least two consecutive nights, with a 14-night maximum. The page doesn’t list a booking deadline, and Disney says it sets aside a limited number of rooms.
Payment works differently from a typical Disney resort booking. Disney charges the full price right away and confirms the reservation only after it receives payment. Everything on the reservation becomes nonrefundable, including tickets, dining plans, and other add-ons. Disney won’t give refunds or credit for any reason, and its terms are clear: “Guests cannot cancel or change the reservation.”
The rate doesn’t include park admission, and guests may need theme park reservations depending on their ticket type. Disney doesn’t allow combining the offer with other discounts, with one exception. Guests can pair it with the 2026 Kids Dining Plan Offer, but only on 2026 stays, so that combination works only for the December nights. Anyone who already has a reservation may be able to switch to the new rate through the “Change Reservation” option on the My Reservation page.
How It Compares to Other Winter Offers
Both windows overlap percentage-based discounts already on the Disney World website when we looked on November 10th. Disney’s 2026 holiday room offer covers most nights from November 22nd to December 24th. It takes up to 15% off at All-Star Sports and up to 20% off at Animal Kingdom Lodge. For January and February, the Spring 2027 room offer takes 10% off Value resorts, 15% off Moderates, and 20% off Deluxe resorts on most Sunday-to-Thursday nights.
Pricing the same room and dates under those discounts takes a few minutes, and it’s worth doing before giving up the ability to cancel. Annual Passholders and Disney Visa Cardmembers have their own deeper winter discounts too. For families with locked-in December or February dates, the prepay rates give a clear nightly price at four very different resorts.
