The Walt Disney World Prize
The headline prize for Walt Disney World fans is a vacation package for up to four people, with an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience at The Magic of Disney Animation at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Full prize details:
- One Club Level room for up to four consecutive nights
- Up to four roundtrip coach airfare tickets
- Roundtrip ground transportation between the airport and Walt Disney World Resort
- Up to four 5-Day Walt Disney World Theme Park tickets with Park Hopper Option
- One Private VIP Tour Guide for up to ten consecutive hours on one day
- One exclusive The Magic of Disney Animation experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the artistry and storytelling behind Disney Animation
- One Disney Gift Card valued at $1,600
What This Package Is Actually Worth
Let’s do the math, because the private VIP tour is the part people undervalue.
A Disney VIP Tour Guide runs several hundred dollars per hour with a multi-hour minimum. Ten consecutive hours is the top of that range, and it comes with front-of-line access at every attraction for your entire party. That single line item is worth more than the airfare.
Add Club Level accommodations for four nights, four 5-Day Park Hopper tickets, ground transfers, and a $1,600 gift card, and this is a fully covered trip with a premium experience on top.
The Magic of Disney Animation behind-the-scenes access is the piece you can’t buy at any price. That’s what makes this the prize to chase.

Which Prizes Have the Best Odds?
Here’s the strategic angle most people miss: you can enter once per day per prize drawing.
That means each prize has its own drawing and its own entry pool. The high-profile packages — Super Bowl LXI, the Avengers: Doomsday premiere, the Disney Believe cruise — will attract the most entries. The less headline-grabbing prizes will attract fewer.
If you genuinely want the Walt Disney World package, enter that drawing every single day. If you just want to win something, spread entries across the drawings that fewer people will prioritize.
Either way, entering daily is the whole game. One entry on day one and nothing after is how most people play this, and it’s the worst approach.
How to Enter
Visit fantasticprizes.d23.com to enter.

Set a Daily Reminder
Thirty-two days of entries versus one is the difference between a real shot and a token gesture. Put a recurring alarm on your phone for the same time each day and knock it out in under a minute.
If you’re only going to remember once, make it count — but this sweepstakes rewards consistency more than anything else.
The Bottom Line
The D23 FANtastic Prizes sweepstakes runs through August 23, 2026, with a Walt Disney World VIP package that includes Club Level accommodations, airfare, Park Hoppers, a ten-hour private VIP tour guide, a $1,600 gift card, and an exclusive Magic of Disney Animation experience.
Sign up for the free D23 General Plan, head to fantasticprizes.d23.com, and enter daily. It costs nothing but a minute a day, and the Walt Disney World prize is one of the strongest packages D23 has ever offered.
