Disney World Nonrefundable Rates Launch for Winter Stays

If your Disney World dates are locked in, there’s a new way to save. Disney World nonrefundable rates are now available for select winter stays, with prices starting at $99 per night, plus tax, at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort.

The catch is a big one: you pay for your full stay at booking, and you can’t cancel, change, or get a refund for any reason. That makes this a great deal for some families and a risky one for others.

Here’s which resorts and dates are included, what each room costs, how the prepay works, and how to decide if it’s right for your trip.

Quick Summary

• Disney World is offering lower, nonrefundable rates at four Disney resorts for select winter stays
• Rates start at $99 per night, plus tax, at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort
• Eligible dates: most nights from December 13 to 24, 2026, and most Sunday to Thursday nights from January 3 to February 25, 2027
• Stays require a 2-night minimum and a 14-night maximum
• You pay in full at booking, and the reservation can’t be canceled or changed
• Park tickets aren’t included
• The rate can only be combined with the 2026 Kids Dining Plan Offer, and only for the December dates

Eligible Dates

The offer requires a 2-night minimum stay on:

• Most nights from December 13 to 24, 2026
• Most Sunday to Thursday nights from January 3 to February 25, 2027

Stays must be consecutive nights, with a 14-night maximum.

That December window lines up nicely with the holiday season at Walt Disney World, while the January and February dates are great for a quieter midweek winter trip.

Resorts and Rates

Four resorts are part of the offer, each with one eligible room type:

• Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort: Standard Room, $99 to $139 per night
• Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside: Standard Location 5th Sleeper Room, $199 to $249 per night
• Disney’s Art of Animation Resort: Cars Family Suite, $299 to $349 per night
• Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge: Savanna View Room, $449 to $499 per night

All rates are plus tax. Additional charges may apply for more than 2 adults per room. Disney bases the savings on the nondiscounted price for the same room, and the number of rooms available at these rates is limited.

A Quick Look at Each Resort

Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort is a Value resort themed to football, baseball, basketball, tennis, and surfing. At $99 a night, it’s the lowest entry point for this offer.

Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside is a Moderate resort on the Sassagoula River. The eligible room is a Standard Location room with a 5th sleeper, a nice fit for families of five.

Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is a Value resort known for its big family suites. The eligible Cars Family Suite is themed to the Cars films and has space for larger families.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is a Deluxe resort with its own savanna. The eligible Savanna View Room lets you watch giraffes, zebras, and other animals right from your room.

How the Prepay Works

These Disney World nonrefundable rates come with strict terms:

• The total price is charged immediately and must be received to confirm your reservation.
• The entire reservation is nonrefundable, including any tickets, dining plans, or other package options you add.
• You can’t cancel or change the reservation after booking.
• Theme park admission is not included. Depending on your ticket type, you may also need theme park reservations.

That second point is important. If you add park tickets or a dining plan to the package, those become nonrefundable too.

Combining With Other Offers

You can’t combine this rate with any other discount or promotion, with one exception: the 2026 Kids Dining Plan Offer.

That offer only applies to stays in 2026, so it works with the December dates but not the January and February 2027 dates.

How to Book

You can book Disney World nonrefundable rates:

• Online through the Walt Disney World website
• By phone at (407) 939-5277
• Through a travel professional

If you already have a reservation, Disney says you can check online to see if the offer can be applied to it. Keep in mind the nonrefundable, no-change terms would apply if you switch.

Is a Nonrefundable Rate Worth It?

This rate makes the most sense if your dates are locked in. If there’s any chance your plans could change, a standard rate keeps your ability to cancel or adjust your trip.

Ask yourself a few questions before you book:

• Are your travel dates certain? Work schedules, school calendars, and family events can all shift.
• Is everyone healthy and ready to travel? Winter cold and flu season is a real risk.
• Are your flights booked? If airfare changes would push your dates, this rate can’t move with you.
• Do you have travel insurance? If you choose the nonrefundable rate, consider whether travel insurance makes sense for your trip.

If you can answer yes with confidence, the savings can be worth it. If not, the flexibility of a standard rate may be worth paying for.

Tips Before You Book

• Compare prices. Check the regular rate for the same room and dates so you know exactly how much you’re saving.
• Book early. Rooms at these rates are limited.
• Don’t add extras you’re unsure about. Anything added to the package becomes nonrefundable.
• Double-check your dates. Most Sunday to Thursday nights qualify in January and February, but not every night.
• Plan your park days. Park tickets aren’t included, and some ticket types need park reservations.

The Bottom Line

Disney World nonrefundable rates offer lower prices on four resorts for select December 2026 and January to February 2027 stays, starting at $99 per night at All-Star Sports. You pay in full upfront, and you can’t cancel or change your trip for any reason.

If your plans are set in stone, this is a solid way to save on a winter Disney World vacation. If there’s any doubt, stick with a standard rate and keep your flexibility.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
