Hidden Disney World Deals February - March 2024
Stay in a Disney World Moderate hotel for less than a Value hotel.
2024 Disney World packages just went on sale and while there are no discounts or offers available, there are some hidden deals, especially if you travel in February and March 2024.
What Iām about to show you speaks to why booking your Disney vacation with me is a great value. I am logged into Disneyās pricing system all day, every day so I know where to find great deals, even if there arenāt any officially posted to the public.

So, when is the best time to visit Disney World in 2024?
In the example below we see that a vacation package at Disneyās Caribbean Beach Resort costs less than the same package at Disneyās Pop Century Resort.
Let me say that again! Caribbean Beach, a Disney Moderate hotel, is being offered for less money than a Disney Value hotel.
For reference, I was quoting a 3 nights, 3-day tickets, and Quick Service Dining Plan.
Disneyās Coronado Springs Resort, a Disney Moderate-category hotel, also costs less per night than Pop Century Resort.
You could argue that Pop Century is on the Disney Skyliner, which is very convenient.
But so is Caribbean Beach. And Caribbean Beach is the hub for Skyliner so itās even more convenient than Pop Century.
Coronado Springs is the flagship Moderate hotel and has far more comforts and amenities like larger rooms, upgraded softgoods, central AC, several on-site restaurants, and a themed pool with a water slide.
Disneyās Moderate hotels donāt usually cost less than the value hotels.
This is obvious just by the category titles.
But if you know where and when to look, you can snag a great deal. Or you can ask me to do it for you.
Iām also seeing this at the Disney World Deluxe hotels where the rates at Disneyās Grand Floridian Resort are lower than Disneyās Polynesian Village Resort.
Hereās a quote I was working on for a 10-night stay. My client asked for a deluxe resort with the regular Disney Dining Plan.
A āWater Viewā room at the Polynesian offers views of the pool or lagoon. A āResort Viewā room at the Grand Floridian has views of a courtyard, pool, or lagoon. So both are very similar there.
But whatās so surprising is the Grand Floridian is Disneyās flagship hotel.
Itās the resort that Disney is most proud of and it typically costs more than any other resort.
It also has the largest standard rooms on Disney property, itās on the monorail, and itās within walking distance to Magic Kingdom.

There could be a number of reasons for these unannounced discounts, but I can only speculate.
One theory I have is that Disney is quietly testing the waters to see what happens if they lower prices. Or perhaps Pop Century and the Polynesian have grown to be super popular and Disney can get higher rates for them.
But one thing Iām sure of is that Disney is attempting to drive bookings in certain directions.
Whatever the reason, it's great for travelers that want to visit this winter.
