The Disney Springs hotels don’t have a teacher rate you can book right now. They’ve run one over summer break in recent years, and the latest one covered stays to the end of the summer and has ended. If you’re planning a Disney World trip before next summer, the offers open to everyone are the ones to use: Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace takes 30% off stays of two nights or more, and Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista takes up to 30% off room rates.
The Disney Springs Resort Area Hotels are seven Orlando hotels next to Disney Springs, and each one is an Official Walt Disney World Hotel. The seven are DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Orlando, Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando, Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace, Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista, Holiday Inn Orlando, Renaissance Orlando Resort & Spa and Wyndham Garden Lake Buena Vista. Guests get 30 minutes of Early Theme Park Entry at any Walt Disney World theme park, shuttles that start running 2 hours before the parks open, and a walk to the 130+ shops, restaurants and shows at Disney Springs.
How To Get The Disney Springs Hotels Teacher Discount
There’s no teacher booking open today, so here’s what the most recent summer offer looked like, which is the best guide to what may come back:
- DoubleTree Suites and Wyndham Garden Lake Buena Vista: up to 25% off the best available room rate.
- Drury Plaza, both Hiltons and Holiday Inn Orlando: up to 20% off.
- Renaissance Orlando Resort & Spa: resort fees waived.
It was open to educators in the U.S. and Canada. In earlier years the rates covered preschool, daycare and kindergarten through college teachers and support staff, and everyone had to show proof of employment at check-in. The rates didn’t include the resort services fee, parking, taxes or gratuities, and they couldn’t be added to another offer. If the offer comes back next summer, expect to show proof of employment when you check in.

Q&A
Do the Disney Springs hotels have a teacher discount?
Not right now. They’ve run a summer teacher rate in recent years, and the latest one has ended.
Who qualified for the teacher rate?
Educators in the U.S. and Canada. Earlier years named preschool, daycare and kindergarten through college teachers and support staff, with proof of employment at check-in.
Do these hotels get early entry to the parks?
Yes, 30 minutes of Early Theme Park Entry every day, with a valid theme park ticket and your resort ID.
More Information:
Early Theme Park Entry needs a valid theme park ticket and your resort ID, and a theme park reservation may be needed on top of that, so check before you plan an early start. If you’re booking with kids, Holiday Inn’s free meals for 11 and under and DoubleTree’s two-room suites are the family-friendly picks.
