A new year has started, and with the new year comes…NEW DISCOUNTS!

Welcome to Disney World

We had already seen some discounts announced for 2022, but on January 5th two new deals arrived — one of which is a general hotel discount, and another which is specific to Annual Passholders. If these deals sound great to you and you’ve eagerly made your way to the Disney World website to learn more or get booking, you might encounter a bit of a delay.

It seems we’re not the only ones who get excited about saving money on a Disney World trip! It appears that the news about Disney’s new discounts have gotten quite a few fans pumped up about booking their next trips, leading to some website traffic.

When we visited the Disney World special offers page (which is the page where you can learn more about the deals and discounts available for upcoming Disney World trips), we were actually placed in a waiting room. At the time, our wait just to get to the special offers page was over 50 minutes! Grab some coffee folks, it’s going to be a while.

We were also placed in a waiting room when we went to visit the “Stay in the Magic” webpage or otherwise search for a hotel at Disney World for an upcoming trip.

The waiting rooms warn that guests should not refresh or select the back button, so keep that in mind. As we waited, our wait times gradually went down to the upper 20 minute range and then down to about 10 minutes, so it’s promising to see that the time was getting shorter.

UPDATE: The day after the discounts were announced, Disney World’s website was still having issues! In fact, we received the dreaded Donald Duck glitch screen a few times when trying to search for hotel reservations.

When we finally did get through to the waiting room, the wait time seems to have gone down a bit, so that’s a positive!

If you’re planning on booking a Disney World reservation today or wanted to look a bit more at the deals being offered, be prepared to wait a bit as the website handles the influx of guests.
