Summer is a great time to visit Disney World, DESPITE the hot weather.
Why? Because SO much is happening between now and September. You’ve got the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, which begins in late July. In August, you’ve got the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. There’s so much to see and do in Disney World this year! If you’re planning on booking a trip, we’ve got some great discounts to share with you!
When booking a trip to Disney World, many look at Disney-owned properties, right? But did you know there are SEVEN hotels in the Disney Springs area that are NOT Disney-owned where you can stay and still get similar Disney hotel guest perks? In some cases, that includes Early Theme Park Entry, which gets you into the Disney World theme parks a half hour before the general public.
You can even generally save some extra money by staying at these resorts, many of which also offer complimentary transportation to and from the parks. Right now, you have a chance to save even more money!
The first offer is for teachers. If you’re a teacher and book a room at one of the Disney Springs area hotels now through August 15th for stays through September 4th, you can get the following special rates:
- B Resort & Spa – rates starting from $109 with promo code HPATEACH

There’s an offer available for everyone else, too. Book a room at one of the Disney Springs area hotels now through August 31st, 2023 for stays through August 31st, and you’ll get the following special rates:
- B Resort & Spa – rates starting from $139
