When Are Disney Holidays Cheap To Book?

Spring is a great time to book a Disney holiday; it’s not only out of peak holiday season but it also means you spend less time queuing for rides and have access to cheaper holiday deals. Autumn is also an ideal time to book Disney holidays, especially thanks to the autumn half term providing space for the kids to come along, without taking them out of school.

Though you wouldn’t expect it, October is actually a popular month to head on Disney holidays, since the parks host tailored events during this time. Possibly, the most famous of these is the Disney Halloween Festival, where guests get dressed up and go trick or treating but with a whole lot more excitement than your usual Halloween adventure. Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a hit with travellers, too. So, expect more expensive prices in October and opt to holiday in Disney in the later autumn months.

How To Book A Disney Holiday

The most important thing to do when booking Disneyland holidays is to compare deals because there are so many different travel brokers to book with. You need to ensure you’re booking with a trusted travel operator, offering affordable Disneyland holiday deals.

You’ll recognise the Tree of Life from The Lion King, while also having the enchanting opportunity to see bird shows and go on jungle treks and safaris to observe endangered animals in Disney’s huge habitats. In May 2017, Disney opened a new Avatar attraction to the park, based on the magical world of Pandora.

The Star Wars attractions are particularly popular amongst holidaymakers – take a 3D tour of the Star Wars galaxy, build your own droid, or learn the ways of the Force in Jedi Training.

What To Do At Disneyland

Where Should You Stay On A Disney World Holiday?

Hotels in Disney World

Disney World offers a wide range of themed hotels located inside the park, with over 25 unique hotels to choose from, to suit all budgets. Disney Holidays’ hotels are spread out across all of the parks, so you can stay near your favourite rides, where transportation is provided to the parks via bus, boat or monorail.

Staying in a Disney hotel has additional perks that can seriously save you money, including the likes of free airport transfers, Wi-Fi access, free transportation around the parks and free parking. Hotel guests can also enjoy extended park opening hours, first access to FastPass+ reservations, Disney dining plans, and of course the full effect of the immersive Disney experience!

Hotels Near Disney World

Of course, the Disney World hotels aren’t your only accommodation option. You can also stay in a hotel or villa nearby and simply hire a car to drive into the park whenever you like. This can be a cheaper option, but bear in mind that you need to factor in the additional costs of travel and food that could otherwise cover the cost of your Disneyland hotel.

All-inclusive hotel deals in Orlando, Florida are a rare find, since it is expected that visitors will spend most of their time visiting Disney’s vast range of theme parks. However, you will be able to choose from self catering, room only and bed & breakfast packages. Our advice? Bring your own snacks into the Disney Holidays’ park; it can really save you money if you head to the local supermarket on your way.
