Disney World to Restructure Resort Perks for 2027
The shift steers guests toward full vacation packages.
Overview
- Disney's 2027 plan, outlined in Saturday coverage, shifts perks into bundled vacation packages that link value to booking hotel, tickets, and extras.
- The dining plan returns in a reworked form tied to package bookings and positioned as a main draw for on-property stays.
- Water park access is being treated as a warm-weather bonus rather than a year-round inclusion.
- Resort transportation stays included, though guests should expect route changes, temporary closures, and capacity swings at times.
- As new rides and lands boost demand, access perks like early entry and Lightning Lane grow in value, so trip planning will matter more.
