Can Costco Travel Really Save You on Your Next Disney Trip?

If you’re like me and dream about that magical Disney vacation, the castle, the fireworks, Mickey ears for the whole family. But then you see the price tag and suddenly you're questioning you can actually afford the trip. That's when you remember your friend used Costco Travel to book their Disney trip and they had an amazing time! You might be thinking, wait, the same place you buy bulk toilet paper and giant jars of mayo sells Disney vacations? Yep, and thousands of families swear by it!

But here's the million-dollar question (or should I say the several-thousand-dollar question), Can Costco Travel actually save you money on your Disney trip, or is it just another middleman complicating your magical plans? I’m going to pull back the curtain and show you exactly what you're getting, and what you're giving up, when you book the Mouse through the warehouse!

First, What Is Costco Travel?

Before I tell you all about Costco, let's clear up what Costco Travel actually is. It's not some sketchy third-party website trying to sell you fake tickets. Costco Travel is the official vacation arm of Costco Wholesale, and it's been around for years helping members book everything from Caribbean cruises to European river tours.

For Disney specifically, Costco Travel packages typically bundle together hotel accommodations with multi-day theme park tickets. Think of it as a one-stop shop where you pick your resort, choose your ticket length, and boom, you've got a vacation package. The packages work for both Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in California, though availability can vary.

Here's what makes it different from booking directly with Disney, Costco negotiates rates in bulk and passes some of those savings along to members. Plus, they throw in extras that Disney doesn't typically offer when you book through them! I love that Disney Costco Travel is giving families another great option to explore!

If you’re already a member and you go shopping weekly or monthly just stop by their customer service desk and ask about their Disney offerings! You can’t actually book in person, but you can do it online or over the phone when you’re ready!

The Real Savings

Okay, time for the stuff you actually care about, how much cash are we talking here? I’ve found a couple different packages examples to give you an idea of your potential savings!

When comparing identical packages for Costco Walt Disney World, the savings can be legit! The first example is from 2024, a family saved $497.36 on a five-night stay at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas with five-day park hopper tickets for two adults. That's not chump change!

The second I found is a five-night package at the Walt Disney World Dolphin with five-day park hopper tickets for two adults and two kids cost $3,452.89 through Costco, while booking the hotel and tickets separately would've run $4,501.34, that's over $1,000 in savings!

Here's where it kind of gets tricky. The savings aren't universal. Some people report finding better deals by booking room-only reservations during Disney's discount periods and purchasing tickets separately through authorized resellers like Undercover Tourist. It really depends on when you're traveling and which resort you're eyeing. Always make sure and do your homework before purchasing!

Disneyland Costco Tickets & Packages (When They're Available)

Costco has had a rocky relationship with Disneyland lately. Throughout 2025, they offered some stellar deals on Disneyland tickets, like a three-day park hopper with Lightning Lane Multi Pass for $449.99, compared to $601 if purchased directly from Disney. That package also included a $30 Disney dining card, making the value even sweeter!

However, in early January 2026, Costco abruptly pulled Disneyland ticket sales from warehouses and halted new resort package bookings. As of now, Costco Travel isn't accepting new Disneyland reservations, though they're still servicing existing bookings. The company hasn't officially announced whether Disney packages will return, leaving many Disneyland fans disappointed.

So, if Costco has Disney World packages available for your dates, you'll often save between $300-$1,000 compared to booking separately, especially for moderate to deluxe resorts. But you need to do the math for your specific trip. I love seeing real families actually pull off their Disney dreams because they saved this way! When you get it right you save a ton of money!

What's Actually Included in Costco Disney Packages

I’ll break down what you get when you book a Disney vacation through Costco versus going directly through Disney, using an authorized seller or a Disney travel agent. The extras alone are worth it!

Standard Inclusions

Every Costco Disney package includes:

  • Multi-day theme park tickets (typically 4-5 days)

  • Hotel accommodations at Disney resorts or Good Neighbor hotels

  • All applicable taxes (which is nice—no surprise fees at checkout!)

  • Complimentary standard parking at Disney theme parks and Disney Springs

  • Transportation to Disney theme parks (if staying at a Disney resort)

  • Early Theme Park Entry (if staying at Disney resorts)

The Costco Extras

Here's where Costco tries to sweeten the deal beyond what Disney offers directly. Depending on which package and which resort you choose, you could get any of the following:

  • Resort credits ($100-$300 at select properties like Caribe Royale)

  • Kids eat free programs at Swan and Dolphin (ages 9 and under)

  • Waived resort fees at select Good Neighbor hotels

  • Daily breakfast at some partner hotels

  • Costco Executive Member 2% rewards

For Disneyland Costco packages (when available), Costco usually included Disney gift cards worth $145-$245 depending on your length of stay, plus a collectible pin and lanyard!

What You Won’t Get

This is important if you’re looking for specific add-ons for your Disney trip! Costco packages do not include the following:

  • Disney Dining Plans – Even though the dining plan is available when booking through Disney, Costco packages don't offer this. You'd have to pay for all meals separately. This can kind of be a big turn off for some people. I don’t ever use a Dining Plan when I go to Disney, if you’re like me then this isn’t a big deal.

  • The "Magical Extras" Booklet – When you book a package directly through Disney, you get discounts on mini golf, dining, merchandise, and other experiences. Costco packages don't include these either. Most of these things people don’t ever do or use so you’re not missing out a ton here.

  • Memory Maker – Disney's photo package isn't bundled with Costco deals, so you'll need to purchase it separately if you want those professional photos. Most of us use our phones now anyway, so this can be skipped without missing it.

  • Disney Promotional Offers – This is crucial to understand! Once you book through Costco, you're locked into that rate. If Disney releases a new discount after you book (like their famous "Free Dining" promotions), you can't switch! This can be good or bad depending on how you look at it. Some people might like it because once they’ve booked their trip they no longer have to worry about it, it’s done! For others they might have FOMO on discounts that Disney might release after they’ve booked. So depending on which category you fit in this could change how you feel about booking through Costco Travel.

Types of Payment

Here's where things get real interesting, and where some people can get cold feet about booking through Costco. Having a clear payment timeline actually helps families budget and plan better.

The upfront costs are higher with Costco. When you book through Disney directly or with a Disney travel agent, you only need to put down a $200 deposit for your entire party, regardless of how many people are traveling. The rest isn't due until 30 days before your check-in date.

Costco isn’t that flexible, you'll need to pay:

  • Theme park tickets in full at the time of booking

  • $100 deposit per person (so a family of four is putting down $400 just in deposits)

  • Full balance due 45 days before arrival

That's a significantly bigger chunk of change to put upfront, plus you have less time to spread out your payments.

Unlike Disney, which lets you make payments whenever you want leading up to that 30-day deadline, Costco requires you to pay in two chunks, the initial deposit plus tickets, then one final payment. You can't make incremental payments along the way, which can make budgeting trickier for some families. If you’ve already saved for your trip then this won’t be an issue, but if you’re still needing to gather up money then you’ll want to go with someone else.

Flexibility and Cancellation

This is Costco Travel loses a lot of people, and where I think they need to make a change so that they match Disney. Some people might not care but for the peace of mind it would be worth Costco changing their cancelation policy.

Disney's Generous Cancellation Policy

When you book directly with Disney (or through an authorized Disney vacation planner), you get a really good cancellation policy! Here’s what that looks like:

  • Full refund if you cancel more than 30 days out (including your $200 deposit)

  • Full refund minus the $200 deposit if you cancel 2-29 days before your trip

  • No refund if you cancel within 24 hours of check-in

Pretty straightforward and relatively forgiving. There’s a lot less anxiety if you do have to cancel for some reason.

Costco's Stricter Policy

Costco's cancellation policy varies by package, but it's usually less flexible. If you’re going to worry about this up to your trip then you may want to go directly through Disney or a Travel Agent. Here’s what Costco’s policy usually looks like:

  • 50-60% of your trip cost is non-refundable in many cases.

  • Penalties increase to 70% non-refundable one week before your trip.

  • Remember, you've already paid for those tickets in full, so that money's essentially gone once you book!

This is where I think Costco really loses a lot of potential customers. Disney’s policy is a lot better here, and there’s really no reason why Costco couldn’t match Disney. It’s fine if you’re not going to cancel your trip, but there could always be extenuating circumstances that would force someone to change their trip. I think they should just match what Disney offers!

No New Disney Discounts

As I mentioned above briefly, once you’ve booked your trip through Costco that’s it, you’ve received the discount you’re going to get. If Disney releases any kind of promotion there’s no adding it on to your vacation, you’re stuck! So if there’s a 30% off dining plans discount, you’ll just have to pass on it.

When you book through Costco, You’re essentially trading that future flexibility for peace of mind today. Once that payment goes through, you can stop obsessing over whether a better deal might pop up. The decision is final. For some families, that finality is actually liberating, it eliminates the constant "what if" that a lot of us can get sucked into when planning a Disney vacation.

The Executive Membership Hack

If you're gonna use Costco Travel, having an Executive membership is where the real savings multiply. This is where the magic happens in your planning, and it's totally doable! You may not have known that each membership can help you save money on your vacation, but they can! Here’s a little hack when it comes to booking your Disney trip through Costco Travel!

A basic Costco membership costs $65 per year, while an Executive membership is $130. The Executive upgrade gets you 2% cash back on most Costco and Costco Travel purchases (capped at $1,250 per year).

On a $4,000 Disney vacation, that Executive membership would earn you $80 back. If you also use the Costco Anywhere Visa card (which earns 3% cash back on travel), you'd get an additional $120, for a total of $200 back. That's basically covering the cost of your park hopper upgrades!

Is It Worth the Upgrade?

If you're booking a Disney vacation and already shop at Costco regularly, the Executive membership likely pays for itself! But if you're signing up just for this trip? Do the math. That $130 membership fee eats into your savings pretty quickly if you're not using other Costco services. Keep in mind though that Costco will send you the difference of upgrading to the Executive membership if you don’t spend enough throughout the year to cover the jump from basic to executive.

I’lll say that basic members should definitely consider the upgrade if they think they’ll use the benefits at Costco and continue booking trips each year through them. For a one-time Disney trip though, it's probably not worth it.

Costco Travel or Disney Travel Agents

This is the big question! Should you book through Costco or use an authorized Disney vacation planner? Both are legitimate and both will help you save money! So it really just depends on your priorities!

Where Costco Wins

Price: In many cases, Costco packages are $300-$1,000 cheaper than booking everything separately.

Simplicity: Everything's bundled for you, hotel, tickets, taxes. One transaction and you’re done!

Rewards: If you're an Executive member with the Costco credit card, that 5% total cash back adds up fast! You can get that Disney churro without feeling bad about spending money on it!

Good for experienced Disney visitors: If you know exactly what you want and don't need planning help, Costco’s very straightforward booking works great!

Where Disney Travel Agents Win

Zero cost: Using an authorized Disney vacation planner is completely free! They earn commission from Disney, so you pay the same price you'd pay booking direct, but you get personalized service.

Flexibility: Travel agents can make changes to your reservation easily, apply new discounts as they're released, and help you modify plans.

Expert knowledge: Good Disney travel agents visit the parks multiple times per year. They know which restaurants are must-dos, how to maximize Lightning Lanes, and insider tips Costco agents simply don't have or offer.

Dining reservations: Disney travel agents will book those tough-to-get Advanced Dining Reservations at the 60-day mark. Costco won't do this for you, so you're on your own.

Problem-solving: If something goes wrong during your trip, a Disney travel agent will advocate for you with Disney directly. Through Costco you'll be on hold for an hour.

Some people like that straightforward booking that Costco offers, no more fuss! While others want that personalized touch and flexibility that comes with a Disney travel agent! So it really comes down to what you want. Hopefully all this information is helping you understand that decision a little bit more!

The Verdict

Choose Costco if: You've been to Disney before, know exactly what you want, don't need planning help, want to maximize cash back, and your travel dates are pretty locked in.

Choose a Disney travel agent if: It's your first trip, you want dining reservations made for you, you need flexibility in case plans change, or you want someone monitoring for better deals after you book.

Alternative Ways to Save on Disney Vacations

Costco isn't your only option for scoring Disney savings! The variety of options means you can absolutely find something that works beautifully for your family! Here are some other ways you could potentially save on your next Disney vacation!

Authorized Ticket Resellers

Undercover Tourist consistently offers discounts on Disney tickets—sometimes even better than Costco, and their tickets work exactly like ones purchased from Disney! You link them through the My Disney Experience app just like you would through Disney.

Get Away Today specializes in California Disney trips and often has exclusive hotel deals near Disneyland with perks like free breakfast and parking!

Rent Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Points

This is the secret weapon of budget-conscious Disney lovers who want to stay at deluxe resorts. You can rent someone else's DVC timeshare points through sites like David's DVC Rentals and effectively get deluxe accommodations at moderate prices!

David’s really is the best out there, I’ve never had a bad experience when using him! Plus he makes it super simple, so if you’ve never done it before you don’t have to worry a bunch!

Time Your Trip Right

Disney's pricing is dynamic, meaning dates matter, a lot! The cheapest times to visit Walt Disney World are typically:

  • Early to mid-January (after New Year's)

  • Early February (except Presidents' Day week)

  • Late April to mid-May

  • Late August through mid-September

During these windows, you'll find lower ticket prices, better room discounts (up to 30% off), and smaller crowds!

Buy Discounted Disney Gift Cards

Here's a clever hack, buy Disney gift cards at a discount, then use them to pay for your trip! Target RedCard holders get 5% off Disney gift cards, and other retailers like Sam's Club occasionally offer similar deals. Since you can use gift cards for almost everything at Disney (packages, tickets, food, merchandise), that 5% savings applies across your entire vacation! Also, just having discounted Disney gift cards is nice for food and merch!

Skip Unnecessary Add-Ons

Park Hopper adds $65-85 per ticket. If you're okay visiting one park per day, skip it and save hundreds for your family!

Lightning Lane Multi Pass costs $20-35 per person per day. While it's tempting, many attractions have reasonable wait times if you use good strategy and arrive at rope drop.

Character dining runs $60-90 per person. Your kids might be just as happy with a quick-service meal and meeting characters in the parks for free!

Disney Discounts

Disney regularly offers promotions that Costco packages can't get close to! Here are the big ones so far for 2026:

Room Discounts

Disney is offering up to 30% off rooms for summer 2026 (May 1 - October 4) when you stay five or more consecutive nights. Annual Passholders can save up to 35-40%. Don’t pass up on this, it’s a super good deal and will allow you save a ton of money!

Package Deals

The Spring 2026 Package Offer gives you up to $250 per night off on 4-night, 4-day (or longer) packages at select resorts! It’s a really good deal!

Even better, the Summer 2026 "Buy 4, Get 2 Free" deal adds two free room nights and two free park days when you book a 4-night package between May 26-September 15, 2026. That's essentially 50% more vacation for the same price! This is amazing for a summer promotion!

Florida Resident Deals

If you live in Florida, you've got access to deeply discounted tickets! The 2026 Discover Disney Ticket offers 4-day passes for $64 per day (total $255+tax), valid January 12-May 16, 2026. That's less than half the regular price! If you’re lucky enough to live in Florida, definitely take advantage of this deal!

Free Dining for Kids

Disney is offering free dining plans for kids ages 3-9 on some 2026 packages when the dining plan is purchased for the entire party! This can save families $100+ per day depending on party size!

Remember, none of these promotions apply if you've already booked through Costco. You're locked into your original rate and there’s no going back.

Costco and My Disney Experience

One common question I get asked all the time is, will everything sync up with the My Disney Experience app if you book through Costco? The short answer is yes, but you'll need to do some manual linking.

Costco will email you a confirmation number after booking. You'll use that to link your hotel reservation to your My Disney Experience account. From there, you can:

  • Link your theme park tickets

  • Make dining reservations (you'll need to do this yourself, Costco won't help)

  • Book Lightning Lane passes

  • Manage your itinerary

  • Order MagicBands or set up MagicMobile

Everything functions normally once you’re linked! You won’t be missing out on app features just because you booked through Costco. However, you won't get the physical "travel ePackage" with luggage tags and magical extras that Disney sends to guests who book packages directly. It’s not a huge deal, but if you’re use to getting that it’ll be a bit of a change.

The Quick Costco Travel Breakdown

Here’s a quick breakdown of all the positives and negatives of booking your Disney trip through Costco Travel and if it’s worth using.

Perfect Candidates for Costco

Disney veterans who know the parks inside and out
Self-sufficient planners who don't need hand-holding
Executive Costco members who'll earn significant cash back
Travelers with locked-in dates who can handle the stricter cancellation policy
Families staying 3-5 nights at moderate or deluxe Disney resorts
Budget-conscious visitors who've done the math and confirmed Costco is actually cheaper for their specific trip

If this describes you, you're going to have an amazing experience with Costco Travel!

Not the Best Fit

First-time Disney visitors who need guidance navigating the parks
Travelers wanting maximum flexibility in case plans change
Discount chasers hoping to score future promotional rates
Guests who want dining reservations booked for them
Families considering the dining plan (Costco doesn't offer it)
Anyone nervous about committing funds 45+ days in advance

This just means there's another booking method that'll be even better suited for you!

The Smart Booking Strategy

This approach is going to set you up for success, no matter which option you choose! Here's how to book your Disney trip the smart way!

Do Your Homework

Price out your exact trip multiple ways:

  1. Direct through Disney – Check their current promotions

  2. Costco Travel – See what packages are available for your dates

  3. Undercover Tourist – Price tickets separately

  4. Disney travel agents – Get quotes from 2-3 agents (it's free!)

Time It Right

Book early to get the best selection of rooms and dates. For 2026 trips, reservations typically open in spring/summer of the previous year. But watch for promotions, because Disney usually releases big deals during these times:

  • June/July for summer and fall

  • December/January for spring

  • August/September for the following year

Calculate Total Costs

Don't just look at the package price. Factor in all this stuff:

  • Airfare (if not included)

  • Park hopper add-ons

  • Lightning Lane purchases

  • Dining costs

  • Parking (if driving)

  • Souvenirs (be realistic!)

Understand What You're Agreeing To

If you go with Costco, make sure you're crystal clear on each one of these things:

  • Exact cancellation penalties

  • Payment due dates

  • What's included vs. not included

  • How to link reservations to My Disney Experience

Book When You're Ready

Once you've found the best deal for your specific situation, pull the trigger! But keep monitoring prices if you book directly with Disney or through a travel agent, since they can apply better deals later!

Costco Travel Questions

Is Costco Travel legit for Disney vacations?

Yes, absolutely! Costco Travel is the official travel division of Costco Wholesale, and they're authorized by Disney to sell vacation packages. Your tickets and reservations are genuine Disney products—you're not getting some sketchy bootleg tickets. The packages link directly to your My Disney Experience account just like any other reservation.

Do I have to be a Costco member to use Costco Travel?

Yes, all Costco Travel bookings require an active Costco membership. A basic Gold Star membership costs $65 per year, while an Executive membership (which earns 2% rewards on travel) costs $130 annually. If you're not already a Costco member, factor that membership fee into your savings calculation.

Can I add the Disney Dining Plan to a Costco package?

Unfortunately, no. Costco Travel packages do not include the option to add Disney Dining Plans. If having a dining plan is important to you, you'll need to book directly through Disney or through a Disney travel agent. The dining plan must be booked as part of a Walt Disney Travel Company package.

What if Disney releases a better deal after I book with Costco?

This is one of the biggest drawbacks. Once you book through Costco, you're locked into that rate. If Disney announces a promotion (like room discounts or free dining) after you've booked, Costco won't automatically apply it to your reservation. You'd have to cancel your Costco package (subject to their cancellation penalties) and rebook with Disney to take advantage of the new promotion—which usually isn't worth the hassle and fees.

Will I still get Early Theme Park Entry and other Disney resort perks?

Yes! If you book a Disney-owned resort through Costco, you still receive all the standard Disney resort benefits:

  • Early Theme Park Entry (30 minutes before parks open)

  • Extended Evening Theme Park Hours at select parks

  • Complimentary transportation to parks and Disney Springs

  • Free parking at theme parks

  • MagicBands and MagicMobile access

What you won't get is the "Magical Extras" discount booklet that comes with Disney direct packages.

How do Costco Travel prices compare to booking directly with Disney?

It varies significantly based on your travel dates, resort choice, and what Disney promotions are active. Many travelers report saving $300-$1,000 booking through Costco versus booking components separately. However, when Disney is running deep discount promotions (like 30% off rooms or free dining), booking directly often beats Costco prices. The key is comparing apples to apples for your specific dates.

Can I cancel my Costco Disney vacation if plans change?

You can, but it'll cost you. Costco's cancellation policy is much stricter than Disney's. Typically, 50-60% of your package cost is non-refundable, increasing to 70% non-refundable within one week of travel. Plus, remember you've already paid for your theme park tickets in full when you booked—that money is usually not refundable. This is a major consideration if there's any chance your plans might change.

Do Costco packages include flights to Disney?

Some Costco packages include flights, but not all. When you're browsing packages on the Costco Travel website, you'll see options to add airfare from your departure city. If flights are included, the package price will reflect this. Many people book flights separately to use airline miles or preferred carriers, then just purchase the hotel + tickets package through Costco.

Will a Disney travel agent help me book dining reservations?

Yes! This is one of the biggest advantages of using a specialized Disney travel agent over Costco. Good Disney travel agents will make your Advanced Dining Reservations (ADRs) for you at the 60-day mark, which is especially valuable for hard-to-get restaurants like Cinderella's Royal Table or Be Our Guest. Costco does not provide this service—you're on your own for dining reservations.

Can I use Disney gift cards to pay for a Costco vacation package?

For Disney Cruise Line bookings through Costco, yes—you can pay with Disney gift cards. However, for theme park vacation packages (hotels + tickets), payment policies may vary. It's best to call Costco Travel directly to confirm whether Disney gift cards are accepted for your specific package type. The standard payment method is credit or debit card.

Is Costco Travel better than Undercover Tourist for Disney tickets?

It depends on what you're booking. If you only need tickets (no hotel), Undercover Tourist often has better prices than Costco and gives you more flexibility with ticket types. However, if you're booking a complete vacation package with both hotel and tickets, Costco's bundled pricing can sometimes beat buying them separately through Undercover Tourist—but not always. Always compare both options for your specific dates.

How far in advance should I book my Disney trip through Costco?

Costco typically releases Disney packages 6-12 months in advance. For popular travel times (summer, spring break, Christmas), booking as early as possible gives you the best selection of resorts and room types. However, keep in mind that Disney often releases promotional offers 3-6 months before travel dates. There's a trade-off between securing your preferred resort early and potentially missing out on later promotions since Costco bookings can't be adjusted for new discounts.

Does Costco offer packages for Disney Cruise Line?

Yes! Many travelers actually prefer Costco for Disney cruises more than theme park packages. Costco typically offers a Costco Shop Card (store credit) worth 7-8% of your cruise fare, which you receive after your cruise. Combined with Executive membership rewards and the Costco credit card cash back, you can earn 10%+ back on Disney cruises. Plus, cruise pricing is fairly consistent across booking methods, so the Costco Shop Card provides genuine added value.

What happens if Disney World closes temporarily while I'm booked through Costco?

This scenario actually played out during the COVID pandemic, and it was... messy. Many Costco Travel customers reported difficulty getting refunds and dealing with constantly changing policies. Generally, if Disney closes due to a hurricane or other emergency, Costco follows the policies of the travel suppliers (Disney, airlines, hotels). However, getting through to Costco customer service during a crisis can involve extremely long hold times. Some travelers found it easier to call Disney directly, even though they'd booked through Costco.

Can I modify my Costco reservation after booking (like upgrading my room)?

Making changes to Costco packages is significantly harder than changing Disney direct bookings. Any modifications must go through Costco Travel customer service (be prepared for long hold times), and changes are subject to availability and potentially new pricing. With Disney direct or travel agent bookings, you can usually make minor changes yourself through the My Disney Experience app or by calling Disney. This lack of flexibility is a common complaint about Costco Travel.

Should You Book Disney Through Costco?

After analyzing dozens of sources, comparing real costs, and reading hundreds of customer experiences, here's what I’ve come up with.

Costco Travel can save you money on Disney vacations, often $300-$1,000 compared to booking things separately at full price. The savings are real, especially if you're an Executive member earning that 2% reward and you're booking during a time when Disney isn't running major promotions. This will change depending on when your trip is and when you plan on booking.

However, those savings come with significant trade-offs. You're giving up flexibility, locking in your price without the ability to apply future Disney discounts, putting more money down upfront, and dealing with stricter cancellation policies. You're also not getting the personalized service and expert knowledge that a specialized Disney travel agent provides, for the exact same price!

The Sweet Spot

Costco Travel makes the most sense when you hit any of these:

  1. You're booking a moderate or deluxe resort package 3-5 months in advance

  2. Disney isn't currently offering sweet promotional discounts on rooms

  3. You're an Executive member who can earn 2% back on their trip

  4. Your dates are locked in and unlikely to change

  5. You've been to Disney before and don't need planning assistance

  6. The math works out cheaper than other options for your specific trip

For first-timers, families wanting dining plans, or anyone who values flexibility and expert guidance, a specialized Disney travel agent is the better choice, especially since they cost the same as booking direct and can actually save you more money by monitoring for future promotions!

The Smart Move

Before committing to any booking method you’ll definitely want tocompare all your options! Price out your exact trip through Disney, Costco, Get Away Today, Undercover Tourist, and at least one Disney travel agent. Factor in the total cost including airfare, park add-ons, dining, and any membership fees. After all that compare everything and see which one will save you the most!

Remember, the cheapest option on paper isn't always the best value when you consider service, flexibility, and potential future savings. Sometimes paying the same price (or even slightly more) upfront to work with an expert who'll monitor your reservation and make your dining reservations is worth every penny!

Disney vacations are magical, don't let booking stress steal that magic! I'm so excited for your Disney adventure, and I know it's going to be incredible!
