Families planning a summer trip to Walt Disney World can now save with a new limited-time offer: 50% off kids’ theme park tickets for visits between May 27 and September 20, 2025. The discount applies to standard park tickets that are 3 days or longer and is available for children ages 3 to 9.

What’s Included

  • 50% off standard 3-day (or longer) theme park tickets for kids (ages 3–9)
  • Valid for ticket start dates from May 27 through September 20, 2025
  • Theme park reservations are not required for these tickets
  • Add-on options (like Park Hopper) are also eligible for the 50% savings on kids’ tickets

Add-On Options (Also Eligible for 50% Off Kids Pricing)

You can apply the half-off discount to kids’ tickets with any of the following ticket upgrades:

Park Hopper Option – Visit more than one park per day

  • Water Park and Sports Option – One park per day, plus a number of visits to water parks, golf, or mini-golf
  • Park Hopper Plus Option – Combines both the Park Hopper and Water Park and Sports features

The number of extra visits for these add-ons depends on the ticket length. Water park access is valid at whichever of Disney’s two water parks is open (Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach).

  • Buy online at DisneyWorld.com
  • Call (407) W-DISNEY (934-7639) to speak with a Disney travel specialist

It can be a great deal for families already planning to get hoppers and the dining plan. I had a client who already had a weeks reservation at Pop, 2 adults/2 kids, Disney dining plan, 4 day park hopper. I applied the discount when it was released and their total went down by $1400. That’s way more than any Pop room discount would save them.

Free dining is not free if you have to buy a park hopper.

Yes, you can stack the % off room promos with the discounted kids tickets. The key is you have to book the reservation and tickets separately, so you don't get the luxury of paying overtime. Originally booked a vacation package for the first week in June. Just canceled it and booked the room and tickets separately. Saving almost $600.

Yes you can do this - I checked it. I think the only downside is that you have to purchase the tickets up front and then you put the deposit amount on the hotel room so the initial payment is more than if you booked it as a package so I imagine that's a detriment to some folks.

Maybe they just missed updating the "fine print"? Disney Visa users had early access to the offer Mar 20-26

For clarification -- I'm confused... The article says "The offer is now available to all guests for travel on select dates in Summer and Fall 2025," but the fine print says "Disney Visa cardholders." "Important Information Minimum 4-night stay and 4-day Park Hopper ticket required. Disney Visa Cardmember must stay in the room. Use a valid Disney Visa Card for deposit payment. Limited availability—book early for best selection. Dining gratuities not included."

I booked a 5 night stay at Beach Club Studio over Labor Day in January at $418 per night before taxes with the initial stay more save more promotion. I just repriced the exact same room at $464 per night before taxes with the Late Summer/Fall AP Rate.

Interesting releasing the rest of the year AP discounts early. AP offerings are scaled back from last year. Only 8 days total in November…. I guess they’re feeling their oats on demand that they don’t need AP Holders anymore. Or it’s not worth discounting rooms to meet growth numbers.
