Walt Disney World Offering Major Discounts On Hotels For 2025

If you enjoy going to the theme parks in Orlando, Walt Disney World is offering major discounts on hotels for 2025.

Ever since I was a kid I've loved going to Disney. And now that I live in Fort Myers, just a 3 hour drive away, I'm lucky that I can go more often. I try to get up there 3-4 times a year and going to the festivals at EPCOT is always a must for me. In fact, the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is going on now, so I'm hoping to get up there within the next month or so. But we all know that it can cost a pretty penny between park tickets, food and drinks and a hotel if you plan on staying the night.

The good news though is that Walt Disney World is offering major discounts on hotels for 2025.

If you're starting to make plans to visit Disney in 2025, there are some exciting things to look forward to. First, if you stay at a Walt Disney World hotel next year, you can enjoy complimentary admission to a water park on the date of your arrival. You don't have to have park tickets and there's no minimum length of stay. And that's not the only perk to staying on-site. You'll also enjoy free park transportation, early park entry, early access to Lightning Lane pass purchases and more.

As far as discounts on hotels, Disney has a Stay, Play and Save promotion that can save you up to $200 per night with a 3-night, 2-day ‘room and ticket’ vacation package at select Disney hotels from February 26-June 30.

There is also a 25% discount at select hotels from February 23 to April 30, with additional savings if you're an annual passholder or a Florida resident. For more info and a list of hotels, click here

It's the first day of October and over the weekend it appears as if every store in Southwest Florida exploded with fall and Halloween decor. Local restaurants are also adding new seasonal dishes to their menus. They almost always include some kind of pumpkin spice. For you at home cooks, here are 5 comforting pumpkin spice recipes for fall and for TikTok Tuesday.

Fall foods are noticeably different than summertime fare even though it feels like summer year round here. However, grocery stores are loaded with gourds and those delicious smelling cinnamon brooms. It makes even the most timid of home cooks want to get in the kitchen.

You will find some good ideas here. Easy ones too.

Some of these DIY dishes will give you that restaurant and coffee shop vibe without the same cost. They will also have your home smelling comfy and cozy regardless of the temperature outside.

If you don’t have a TikTok account, don’t worry. I’ve made it easy to view the videos by taking these links from mine. Simply scroll down and watch from this post.

Some have recipe instructions in the text. Some give verbal instructions so you'll need to have your sound on. Others direct you to click the link in their bio. Be sure to share with your foodie and pumpkin spice loving friends.

If you like pumpkin spice, you can make your own. You just have to know what the ingredients are. Then you can tweak them to your liking. Here is all you need to know to make it happen.

Who doesn't like cookies. These look so good. They could even carry over to Christmas and your next cookie exchange party.

Here is a good old fashioned dump cake. Even better it uses a boxed cake mix for those of you who like an easy recipe. Measuring is minimal. Get the kids to help with this one.

Now THIS is creative. It also looks super easy. I think this would be a great dish to take to a party or serve at your next happy hour.

I can't do a pumpkin spice story without including a latte recipe. This one uses actual pumpkin. I have to admit it made me think twice about trying. But it would be a good way to get some more fiber and nutrition in your diet.
