Choosing a date for your Disney World vacation can be challenging, but if you’re on a tight budget, we’re here to help!
The fall is a time of year when it’s notoriously a little cheaper to visit Disney World or stay in a Disney Resort. We did the research, and we’re sharing the cheapest nights to stay at a Disney hotel this fall…let’s get to planning!
Before we dive in, if you’re interested in planning a trip to Disney World this fall, we recommend booking with our friends at Small World Vacations. They’re experts in the field with years of experience planning Disney trips, and they can help you find the best deals for your trip, even applying deals to your hotel stay if they come available after you book. We’ll give you the tips and news, but their expertise will make sure the planning process is smooth.
Now, on to the cheapest days for you to stay! To gather this data, we looked at nightly rates for both a Value Resort and a Deluxe Resort throughout the entire fall season, marking down the nights that had the cheapest rates. We were a little bit surprised by our findings, as the actual cheapest nights varied a bit between the two hotels.
At Disney’s All-Star Music Resort, the cheapest dates from September 21st-December 21st fell during the months of October and November. That’s a little unusual, considering we often think of September as the cheapest month to go. At the Contemporary Resort, September was indeed the cheapest of the months. So it goes to show that price can vary depending on hotel as well as room type. If you’re curious about your specific resort, it’s a good idea to look around at a few different dates and compare.
- September 21st-24th
- September 28th-30th
- October 1st
- October 5th-7th
- October 12th-14th
- October 19th-21st
- October 26th-28th
- November 2nd-4th
- November 9th-11th
- November 16th-18th
If you notice, most of these dates fall on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Those are typically the cheapest nights of the week to stay in a Disney Resort, with prices rising on Friday and Saturday nights in particular, since it’s more popular to visit on the weekends. A few of the dates in the list fall on a Thursday.
If you’re visiting this fall, there are a few dates to avoid if you’re looking to save money. Thanksgiving week is fairly expensive and usually quite crowded. The same goes for Columbus Day/Indigenous People’s Day weekend — anytime there’s a holiday, there will be more folks in the parks and at the resorts. Also, prices really start to jump as you get into December. You’ll notice no December dates make it on the list, even though it’s still technically fall for the first three weeks of the month.
