To all the teachers out there, some great news has come through just in time for Teacher Appreciation Week! Elizabeth and I want to share this information with fellow teachers ASAP so that we can all book our trips now!
The Disney Springs Resort Area is offering a HUGE TEACHER DISCOUNT for the summer of 2018 as long as your travel is between May 28th and September 15th of 2018. Resort hotels are going for as little as $82 a night, with some of the better known, large resorts discounted to $110 a night. The best news is that you have 7 options from which to choose, all of which are listed below in the article.
There are blackout dates, so share immediately with your teacher friends so that everyone has a chance to book before it all fills up!
***In order to maximize your trip and to save even more money, consider signing up for either the Southwest Plus or Southwest Premier credit card a couple of months before your trip so that you can fly down for free. (Read how by clicking here) ***
If none of these resorts suit what you want in a trip to Disney in Orlando, check out our other teacher discount to Disney articles through Marriott and Hilton.
You can go straight to the Disney Springs offers page here to read for yourself, but let’s go ahead and define who is eligible for this discount:
Anyone in the education field that can prove their employment is eligible, from pre-school instructors to college professors, and from superintendents to support staff!
To get the discount, go to the Disney Springs offers page and click on the hotel that interests you the most. You will then be directed to that hotel’s website, where you can enter dates and see prices. Your teacher discount will automatically be applied as long as you went through the Disney Springs offers page.
All of the resorts are next door to the Disney Parks, meaning a 5-minute or less car ride/shuttle. Some of the resorts are part of large hotel chains, which means you can accrue lots of points by staying at these hotels, so please take our advice and become a member of these hotels for free, and even strongly consider getting one of their credit cards!
