i got this from a travel agent friend. disney announced it at 11am today so i thought i would pass it along in case it helps someone....

Right now, Disney is offering the Magic Your Way Package starting at $435/adult, $216/junior (10-17) and $175/child (3-9). This includes 5 nights at a value hotel (All Star Sports/Music, etc.), Base Ticket (one park per day) for 5 days, and (here's the best part!!) the Disney Meal Plan. Each day, each person will enjoy one sit down meal, one quick service meal and one snack. It also includes round-trip airport transportation, all transportation within the parks, and Extra Magic Hours (where different parks open early or stay open late for resort guests only).

This package was just announced about 20 minutes ago, and will be snatched up very quickly, I'm sure (rooms are limited in quantity). You have to book before June 4 and travel between August 13 and September 30.

To book, you can call 800.327.2996 and ask for package code YWS. This will not be announced to the general public until Saturday, but you can book starting today. Anyone who is thinking about going to Disney during this time frame should grab this deal. It's a great one!!

Oh, and there are other hotels available (at a higher rate) on the package, too, if you'd rather upgrade a bit.

Though it may be a great deal, it couldn't have been just announced 20 minutes ago, as there was a post about it here on April 1:

I believe this "deal" was offered to customers of a certain credit card,then yesterday it was made available to the GP. Great deal, nonetheless...

Thanks! I am taking the littlie for the first time, in June and there is very few deals to be had after May 1st!

Mykidssherpa,

There are a few deals to be had for travel during the peak season. There is a Ghirardelli soda fountain at Downtown Disney. In late May, go to www.ghirardelli.com and sign up for the "Ghirardelli G-mail" - it is the last option on their opening page. Check "yes" when asked if you live w/in 50 miles of a G. Soda Shop and you'll receive an email coupon good for a buy 1, get one free sundae. The coupon is only good for about 3 weeks so don't sign up too early.

www.themouseforless.com has a $3 off discount code for the www.tourguidemike.com park planning service. Just Type in A82E8-2AH as your Promo Code during checkout.

Check mousesavers.com for deals too. It's not free dining but it is a little something.

I heard about this a few weeks ago so it's not brand new. Still a good deal though!

Is this for Disneyland or Disney World?

It can't be for DisneyLand if the All-Stars is included..sounds like it must be DisneyWorld..the free transportation also sounds like the Disney Magic Express scheme from MCO.

sorry for the repeat post about the deal. i guess my friend was slow on the uptake, i just copied and pasted her email.

my guess is it is disney world, but it doesn't hurt to call if you are planning a trip to disneyland.

The dates for travel are prime hurricane season...good deal or not?

Prime Hurricane Season is from June 1st through December 1st however it is common for Hurricanes, Tropical Storms, and Tropical Depressions to occur before and after this time.

Well, the last several years, seems most of the major hurricanes to hit Florida are during the travel dates offered in this deal..August 13-September 30th.

I took advantage of this deal last summer. It was terrific. We had a great time, fab weather and really enjoyed all of the full service restaurants included in the package. We tried a few new places and a few tried and true places. Crowds were managable. Though I strongly suggest that anyone taking advantage of this deal make dinner reservations as early as possible as the full service restaurants will be busier than usual with the free dining offer.
