Disney World's New Winter Prepay Rates Start at $99 a Night, but You Can't Cancel or Change the Booking

Disney World has a new hotel deal, and the price of admission is your flexibility. Its new winter prepay offer sells rooms at four Disney hotels at set nightly rates, starting at $99 a night plus tax at Disney's All-Star Sports Resort. The catch is spelled out on the offer page: "Guests cannot cancel or change the reservation."

The offer is now listed on Disney's special offers page. Blog Mickey wrote it up early Tuesday morning, November 10, and Disney Food Blog followed later in the day.

The four hotels and their rates

Disney lists one room type at each hotel, at these nightly rates plus tax:

  • Disney's All-Star Sports Resort: $99 to $139 for a Standard Room
  • Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside: $199 to $249 for a Standard Location 5th Sleeper Room
  • Disney's Art of Animation Resort: $299 to $349 for a Cars Family Suite
  • Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge: $449 to $499 for a Savanna View Room

Disney says the savings are "based on the nondiscounted price for the same room," and the offer page gives no discount percentage. Disney also notes that "additional charges may apply for more than 2 adults per room."

When you can stay

  • Most nights from December 13 to 24, 2026
  • Most Sunday to Thursday nights from January 3 to February 25, 2027

The minimum stay is two consecutive nights and the maximum is 14. Room inventory for the offer is limited, according to Disney, and no booking deadline appears on the offer page.

What you give up for the lower rate

Disney charges the total price immediately, and the reservation is not confirmed until payment is received. The rest of the terms:

  • No cancellations, no changes. Disney says "No refunds or credit will be provided for any reason."
  • Everything attached goes with it. In Disney's words, "The entire reservation is nonrefundable, including any tickets, dining plans, or other package options added to it."
  • Park tickets are not included. You need valid admission, and theme park reservations may be required depending on your ticket type.
  • No stacking. Disney's terms say the offer "cannot be combined with any other discount or promotion, except for the 2026 Kids Dining Plan Offer (only for stays in 2026)." The January and February nights fall in 2027, so that exception can apply only to December stays.

If you already have a reservation for these dates, the offer page points you to the My Reservation page, where Disney says to "Select 'Change Reservation' and then search for other Vacation Offers." Just remember that switching a flexible booking onto this rate would put the whole trip under the same no-refund terms. To book by phone, Disney lists (407) 939-5277.

Check the other deals before you lock in

The prepay rate is not the only hotel offer on these dates. Disney's special offers page also lists "Save Up to 20% on Rooms This Holiday Season" for select nights from October 4 to December 24, 2026, and "Save Up to 25% on Rooms This Spring" for select nights from January 3 to April 29, 2027. Annual Passholders have their own room offers on both windows, at up to 30% and up to 35%.

Since the prepay rate cannot be combined with any of them, it pays to check your room and dates under each offer before you book. Our take: if a percentage-off rate lands close to the prepay price, keeping the ability to cancel is worth a little extra. The prepay rate makes the most sense when your dates are fixed and it comes out cheapest.
