Read on for the full breakdown of the membership tiers and how many Smiles a Disney trip could earn you.
What is the TUI Smiles Rewards Club?
The TUI Smiles Rewards Club is TUI's own loyalty scheme. Instead of collecting points, members collect "Smiles" every time they book a package holiday, flight, cruise, hotel stay or experience through TUI. The more Smiles you build up, the higher your membership level, and each level comes with its own set of perks.
Only the lead name on a booking earns Smiles, so if you're the one making the booking for the family Disney trip, it's your myTUI account that needs to be signed up. Joining is free and open to anyone aged 18 or over, and you don't need any previous TUI booking history to get started.
How do I join the TUI Smiles Rewards Club?
TUI has kept the sign-up short. Here's how it works.
- Log in to your existing myTUI account, or create one if you don't already have one.
- Once logged in, accept the terms and conditions and opt in to join the TUI Smiles Rewards Club.
- You'll be credited with 200 welcome Smiles and can start collecting more on your next eligible booking.
If you've already booked a Disney World holiday with TUI in the last 30 days, you won't miss out. Join the TUI Smiles Rewards Club here and, as long as the booking is linked to the same email address as your myTUI account, TUI will add the Smiles from that trip retrospectively.

How many Smiles will I earn on a Disney World holiday with TUI?
How many Smiles you collect depends on what you book and, for flights, how long they are. TUI's own figures give these ranges.
| Booking Type | Smiles Range | How It's Earned |
|---|---|---|
| Package holidays | 75 to 325 Smiles | Per night, varies by hotel brand and flight length |
| Hotel only | 50 to 200 Smiles | Per night |
| Cruise | 150 Smiles | Per night |
| Flight only | 200 to 750 Smiles | Based on flight length, on TUI Airways |
| Experiences and tickets | 100 to 200 Smiles | Per person |
These are the ranges TUI has published. The exact per-night figure for a specific hotel brand varies, so check TUI's own Smiles table for the exact numbers. Your Smiles will show up in your dashboard within 2 to 3 days of booking.
How does TUI's Smiles Club compare to Virgin Holidays for Disney bookings?
TUI isn't the only UK operator selling Walt Disney World packages. Virgin Holidays, which flies into Orlando International Airport (MCO) and is the more commonly used route for Disney trips from the UK, runs its own Virgin Points scheme through Virgin Red. There's no direct crossover between the two loyalty programmes, so this isn't a case of picking whichever one gives you more points for the same flight. It comes down to which airport route, price and package suits your family, then which loyalty scheme you'd rather be building up in the background. You can compare Virgin Holidays and Virgin Flights against TUI's own Orlando packages to see which fits your dates and budget.
What should I do next if I'm booking Disney World with TUI?
- Join the club before you book, so the trip you're about to pay for counts toward your Smiles total straight away.
- If you've booked in the last 30 days, join now so those Smiles aren't lost.
- Check the flight length and hotel brand for your package, since both affect how many Smiles a Disney holiday will earn.
- Keep the same email address across your booking and your myTUI account, or the Smiles won't link up.
