2025 Disney World Vacation Packages + New On-Site Perk
Were you waiting to book a 2025 vacation to Disney World? Have you noticed that the calendar was blank beyond December 31, 2024 when you checked for prices in My Disney Experience? No more. Disney has released pricing for hotels, tickets, and more in 2025 and you are now able to book vacations into the next year. Plus, there’s a brand-new on-site perk!
A 2025 Vacation Package includes a room reservation and tickets, or a room reservation, tickets, and a Disney Dining Plan. 2025 Vacation Packages are available now. Annual Passholders or those traveling with military tickets can book a package with a room and Dining Plan without needing to add tickets. For packages, a $200 deposit is required to confirm reservations made more than 30 days in advance; after that the full amount is due on booking.
It is also possible to make reservations for just the room. For room-only reservations, the first night is due as a deposit; new for 2025 the window to cancel a room-only reservation without penalty has been extended to 8 days.
New for 2025, guests staying at a Disney Resort Hotel will be able to visit one of the two on-site water parks for free on their check-in day! Enjoy either Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach without charge on your arrival day in 2025. This perk is only available for guests staying in a Disney Resorts collection hotel.
No More Park Reservations on Regular Tickets
For regular tickets, park reservations are no longer required. Tickets are still date-based, with pricing dependent on the start date of the ticket. And those using Military Salute tickets, Annual Passes, or other special tickets during their stay may still need to make reservations.
Park Hopper, Water Parks & Sports, and Park Hopper Plus add-ons will continue to be available. See: Walt Disney World Ticket Options: FAQ – Park Hoppers, Water Parks, and More. And if this is your first visit in a while, you might not have heard that the 2 pm Park Hopping restriction is gone! That’s right, you can turn around and hop to another park as soon as you’ve gone through the tapstiles. (Although we’re not sure why you’d want to.)
Ticket prices routinely increase year-over-year, with prices in newly released package prices higher than the same date on the previous year. Notably, the lowest-priced ticket has gone up from $109, where it has sat since date-based pricing for multi-day tickets was introduced in 2019. The new low price for a single-day Disney World ticket is $119. Prices for 2024 (see: Every Regular Disney World Ticket Price in 2024) have not changed.
Disney Dining Plans Available
Two versions of the Disney Dining plan are available. As a reminder, the Dining Plan must be purchased for all members of your party ages 3 and up, for the length of your entire stay. Disney Dining Plans can only be added to stays booked at hotels in the Disney Resorts Collection. Our thanks to Annette Jackson of Touring and Cruises for the pricing information below.

- Gratuities at Table Service meals are not covered.
- Snack credits can be exchanged for a wide variety of single-serving items at food carts, Quick Service locations, or merchandise locations.
For all guests, beverage includes soda, coffee, or tea, or may also include items such as milkshakes and smoothies where available. For guests over the age of 21, beverage options may include alcoholic drinks such as beer, wine, or cocktails where they are available.
Some Table Service experiences designated as premium character dining, Signature dining, or dinner shows will cost two Table Service credits instead of just one.
Resort Refillable mugs can be refilled at Rapid Fill stations located at any resort hotel Quick Service or other locations at resort hotels.
Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours
Disney has already announced that the two extra-hours benefits for on-site guests will continue to be available in 2025. With Early Theme Park Entry, guests staying in Disney Resort collection hotels, plus eligible third-party hotels, can enter the parks half an hour before regular opening. This benefit is available at each of the four parks, every day. With Extended Evening Hours, guests at Deluxe Resorts, Deluxe Villa Resorts, and other qualifying hotels can enjoy two additional hours in EPCOT and the Magic Kingdom on select nights.
Magical Extras
A Walt Disney World package also includes Magical Extras to make your stay in the magic even more … magical! Magical Extras for 2025 include 4 vouchers for a round of miniature golf at either of Disney’s two courses, 10% off the price of a non-discounted round of bowling at Splitsville Lanes, and 10% off Surrey Bike rentals at any resort that offers them. A variety of dining and shopping discounts are also available at a selection of Disney World locations; Magical Extras are subject to change without notice.

Vacation packages can only be booked by calling Disney at (407) 939-5277, booking online at Disney’s site, or working with a travel agent.

Awesome!
What if you have a split stay? Do you think you’d get 2 days at the water parks? One each day you check into a new resort?
Yes, Disney has confirmed that if you have a split stay you will get access to the water parks on both of your check-in days.
I need to know how much the cost is to fly on the plane and the stay at Disney world with a family size 10?
Hi Kelsey, if you’re looking for assistance booking a trip, your best path is probably to reach out to a Disney specialist travel agent. Touring and Cruises, linked in the article, is a good one and Storybook Destinations and Smallworld Travel are also generally well-regarded. Good luck with your trip!
