Disney Holidays has updated the wording on its Walt Disney World booking pages, dropping the vague "Exclusive Magical Extras" heading in favour of something far more specific, "Exclusive Disney Springs Discounts". If you're booking direct with Walt Disney Travel Company, this is the perk that gets you a Little Big Book of Vouchers full of savings on dining, shopping and leisure activities at Disney Springs.

Read on for the current discount list, the also included UK Disney Store perk, and how to make sure your Little Big Book of Vouchers doesn't end up buried in your inbox.
What Are The Exclusive Disney Springs Discounts?
For a while now, the page on the Disney Holidays booking site that lists your included extras has gone under the heading "Exclusive Magical Extras". That's now changed. The same section has been retitled "Exclusive Disney Springs Discounts", and the text underneath is far more direct about what's on offer.
If you don't know, Disney Holidays is the official UK holiday booking platform operated by Walt Disney Travel Company.
The new wording reads that you'll enjoy the parks and hundreds of dining, shopping and entertainment venues at Walt Disney World, and that as a thank you for booking with Walt Disney Travel Company, a set of Disney Springs Discounts is included with your booking. You can check the current wording for yourself on the Disney Holidays booking page here.
What Discounts Are Currently Included?
At the time of writing, the Disney Holidays site lists over 15 discounts as part of the offer, with the following currently confirmed across dining, leisure and merchandise.
| Category | Venue | Discount |
|---|---|---|
| Dining | Rainforest Cafe® | 10% off |
| Dining | City Works Eatery & Pour House | 10% off |
| Leisure | Splitsville Luxury Lanes | 10% off |
| Leisure | Surrey Bikes | 10% off |
| Merchandise | Kendra Scott | 15% off |
| Merchandise | Crystal Arts by Arribas Brothers | 10% off |
Correct as of the current Disney Holidays booking page.
Is The UK Disney Store Discount
Alongside the Disney Springs venues, the exclusive Discounts also include 15% off at the UK Disney Store. Disney will send you a long and unique discount code you can use on select items on the online UK Disney Store for use before you travel.
What Is The Little Big Book Of Vouchers?
The Little Big Book of Vouchers is the digital booklet that these discounts actually come in. If you've booked your Walt Disney World holiday direct with Walt Disney Travel Company (Disney Holidays), it's sent as a PDF to the email address you booked your package with.
How Do You Redeem Your Disney Springs Discounts?
Once you have your Little Big Book of Vouchers PDF, using it is easy.
- Save the PDF to your phone, or print off a physical copy before you travel.
- Take it with you to the venue offering the discount, whether that's a restaurant, shop or activity.
- Show it to a cast member before you pay, so they can validate it and register the discount.
Every Little Big Book of Vouchers comes with a standard set of terms and conditions, printed as follows.
"Please present this Savings Card to receive any Magical Extras benefit. Benefits are valid during your Walt Disney Travel Company package stay. Benefits have no cash value, are nontransferable and void if transferred or sold. All benefits, services and locations are subject to change without notice. May not be combined with any other offer, discount or promotion. Valid for the number of Guests in the package, unless otherwise specified. All dining discounts exclude applicable tax and gratuities. Other restrictions and exclusions may apply."

How To Make Sure You Don't Miss Your Little Big Book Of Vouchers
A few simple steps to make sure it doesn't slip past you before you fly.
- Check your inbox, including your spam or junk folder, in the month before you depart.
- The email will be sent by wdtc-uk@disneyinternational.com.
- It will be included with your final invoice and booking overview PDF.
- If it hasn't turned up a few days before you fly, contact Disney Holidays on 0800 169 0730.
When Will I Receive My Little Big Book Of Vouchers?
It's usually sent out around 4 weeks before your departure date alongside your travel documents by email. Exactly how and when can vary a little depending on your specific booking, but you should receive it within a month of your departure date.
Do Disney Springs Discounts Change Every Year?
Yes. The list above reflects what's currently on the Disney Holidays booking page, but the participating venues and discount amounts do shift from year to year. Past editions of the Little Big Book of Vouchers have included discounts such as 10% off at Basin, 15% off at the Coca-Cola Store, 10% off at the LEGO Store, 20% off at Joffrey's, and 10% off at T-REX, alongside the likes of Splitsville and Rainforest Cafe that tend to appear fairly consistently.
None of those are guaranteed for your specific trip, and the only way to know what's actually in yours is to open the book once it arrives. We find these extra discounts of value, mostly because my other half has a habit of spending far too much at Basin, and that 10% off does take a little of the sting out of the receipt.
So What Does This Mean For Your Walt Disney World Booking?
The wording change itself doesn't add or remove any value from your holiday, but it does make it much clearer what you're signing up for when you book direct with Disney. A few things worth thinking through as a result.
- These discounts only apply if you book direct with Walt Disney Travel Company (Disney Holidays), not through every UK package operator.
- If you're comparing a direct Disney Holidays booking against a Virgin Holidays or TUI package, this is one of the perks that direct booking gives you and a package operator may not.
- Don't build your holiday budget around specific venues in the current list, since the exact discounts on offer by the time you travel could differ.
If you're still deciding how to book your trip, it's worth comparing Virgin Holidays and TUI package options against booking direct, since perks like this one can factor into which route works out best for your family. Our Walt Disney World offers guide for UK guests covers the wider picture of current deals and discounts if you want to weigh up your options properly.
