Six (ALMOST) Free Disney Hotel Nights in Orlando for a Family of Six

In this article, I’m going to show you the ridiculously easy, completely legit way that my wife and I were able to get SIX NIGHTS at one of Orlando’s best hotels, Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek.

This is a hotel that is ranked 4.5 out of 5 on TripAdvisor… and six nights would regularly cost you approximately $2000.

Today I’m going to show you how to get SIX NIGHTS…

For just $138!

This hotel:

  • Will accommodate up to SIX people in one room
  • Is located just minutes from all Disney parks
  • Is beautiful, comfortable, and full of fun stuff for the kids to do
  • Has a plentitude of real-life reviews from people like you and me

By following my steps, I estimate you will save approximately $2000. No joke.

Ready? Let’s Do This!

Here’s What I’m Going to Tell You

The method I used is a very well-kept secret within the travel community. I am sure I’m not the first to use it, but I had to discover it on my own.

The key here is to apply for one particular credit card – the Wyndham Rewards Visa Signature card.

The free travel bonuses that come with this card that make this deal possible. And it’s one of the best deals in all of travel!

As you read on, I will tell you:

  • To apply for the credit card
  • Why this card and what are the rewards?
  • To stay at Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek
  • Why this hotel and why it is worthy of your dream vacation?

 

I’m Working Off These Assumptions

For my recommendation of how to get six nights free in Orlando to work, I am assuming the following:

  • There are two adults in your family with good credit scores (probably you and your significant other)
  • Both adults can spend $1000 in 3 months on everyday stuff (groceries, cable, utilities, etc) on a credit card without going into debt
  • The maximum number of people in a room is six

Note, even if there is only one adult, this recommendation will still work to get you three free hotel nights in Orlando. No worries, you’ll still save a lot of money.

 

How To Get (Basically) Free Disneyworld Hotel Nights

Apply for:

Wyndham Rewards Visa Signature card

WYNDHAM REWARDS VISA SIGNATURE®

Apply Now

 

Why This Card

has a signup bonus of 30,000 Wyndham points when you make your first purchase.

Then, when you spend $1000 on the card within the first 3 months of account opening, you will receive another 15,000 Wyndham points.

This will total to 45,000 Wyndham points when you get these things done.

 

What This Reward Gets You

15,000 Wyndham points is worth a free night at any Wyndham property, anywhere, anytime.

Your 45,000 Wyndham points will be worth 3 free nights!

 

Annual Fee

Notice I keep saying “almost” free? This is why.

This card has an annual fee of $69, but I feel it is totally worth the savings you’ll enjoy. The average room rate at the Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek is $250 or more per night!

 

Wait, that’s Only 3 Nights…

Here’s How to Get Six Nights Free

You probably figured this out by now but just in case…

To get six nights, simply have your spouse/significant other apply for the same card at the same time. Genius!

As he/she follows the same steps above, you’ll both receive the 45,000 points, enabling you to reserve 3 nights each, for a TOTAL OF SIX.

Book your rooms on separate accounts, with the dates spanning six nights in a row. Then call the hotel and tell them you’d like to stay in the same room. In my experience, they will accommodate you if they can, so you won’t have to move rooms in the middle of your stay.

I’m about to show you that six Wyndham reward nights are worth more than $2000 in hotel costs at Disney!

How to Save on Rental Car AND Parking Fees:

Use the Hotel Shuttle

Instead of getting a rental car for the week, use the Wyndham Grand’s shuttles and save even more money.

Take the Shuttle & Save $100!
Use hotel shuttle for five days & save $20 per day parking.

The cost to park a car at Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme parks is $20 per day.

Take the shuttle and save!

The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service to the Disney parks that can save you both the cost a rental car and the daily parking fees.

Note: There is a per person charge to take the shuttle to other further-out destinations like Universal Studios, SeaWorld, and Orlando Premium Outlets. My guess, however, is that you’ll save greatly by getting yourself an Uber.

And if you’ve never tried Uber, you can use this link to get your first ride free. If you have two adults in your party that haven’t used Uber before, create separate accounts and install the app separately and you can both enjoy the Uber credits. Use one on the way to Universal and one on the way back. More saving!

And about that parking…

To park your own car, the resort will charge $20 + $1.30 tax per day. Valet is $24 per day.

With No Car to Park, You’ll Save $127.80!
No car for six days means no $21.30 daily fee for parking. Bam!

 

How to Avoid Paying $127.80 in Resort Fees

Normally, the Resort Service Fee for Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek is $20 per room + $1.30 tax per day.

This covers Disney transportation, health club access, Internet access, complimentary in room local telephone calls, and access to additional Bonnet Creek Resort amenities.

The best part? They waive the resort fee when you use Wyndham points to book your room.

So for a stay of six days, you just saved another $127.80!
