Disney will occasionally release hotel discounts or exclusive offerings to certain guests. This can drive traffic to hotels that don’t get as much love as others do, or give guests new and exciting perks that they would not normally get as a regular resort hotel guest.
Disney World now has a hotel discount available for teachers only to celebrate the upcoming summer months. Keep reading to see which hotels qualify, and the information what hotel offers what discount. Mickey Visit brings you the latest Disney news and planning resources, including the cheapest way to have a Disney wedding and the permanent closure of a Disney World dining location in preparation for a major expansion.

We recently stayed at the Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando and enjoyed our experience at this popular local area hotel. The hotel offers complimentary hot breakfast along with the free shuttle and other perks. Even with all of these amenities, there is no resort fee which is rare for non-Disney hotels in this area. It demonstrates the commitment of the hotel to delivering a valuable product at fair prices.
You can book that hotel, and the others on this list, through our travel partner Get Away Today. They are extremely familiar with all the best off-site hotels in Orlando and can recommend the best possible option for your Disney World vacation. They are experts on Disney World especially with the Disney Springs area hotels and can help you bundle discount tickets with these discounts. Remember to book through our exclusive link to get the best price and the additional Mickey Visit rate on top of the other discounts they offer.
It is important to note that these hotels are not the typical Disney-owned resort hotels that you can find at Disney World, such as Wilderness Lodge or Pop Century. Because of this, they do not have access to the typical Disney World buses, but instead have hourly shuttles to bring you to and from the parks. The schedules for these shuttles vary by hotel.

As with any exclusive offer, there are, of course, exclusions. Like any other hotel, these rooms are based on availability, which might be limited. Blackout dates may apply, so be sure to double check before booking on the respective hotel’s website that this discount is valid on the days you want to book.
At hotels where this is applicable, the room rates do not include the services fee or the daily parking fee. It also does not apply to tax and gratuity. This discount can not be combined with other special offers or promotions, and is not valid for existing reservations or for group reservations.
