Travel Dates: June 7 – August 8, 2009

Walt Disney World has released a new Magic Your Way package discount for the travel dates listed above. You must check in during the travel dates listed above to receive the discount, and it appears as though as long as you check in during the travel dates, you will receive the discount for your entire stay.

The discounts of this package will correspond with the room only discounts released for the same travel dates. The Magic Your Way package allows you to add park passes and the Disney Dining Plans to your reservation. Availability is extremely limited, and you must book this package by June 6, 2009.

One thing to note is that Disney World is also including a special “club level” discount, available only at resorts with concierge rooms, so Coronado Springs, Animal Kingdom Villas (Jambo) and the deluxe resorts. Historically, concierge rooms are rarely discounted. The discount seems to be substantial as well, over $200 per night at the deluxe resorts I checked. In fact, many of the concierge rooms will be very close in price to the non-concierge rooms in price. Typically the upgrade to concierge runs about $100 per night, with this discount, it appears to be closer to $40 per night. If you have ever wanted to stay in concierge, but couldn’t afford it, this is your opportunity.
