Picking a random eligible 4 Night/5 Day Friday - Tuesday in April at a moderate resort, with base 5 day tickets and the standard dining plan: A family of 4 staying at Port Orleans booked with the Rack Rate Ticket and Room Package plus standard dining will pay approximately $6200 pre-tax. Using the discount package the price drops down to approximately $5600 pre-tax. An approximate $600 "savings".
No Standard Discounts have been announced yet.
Anyone booking should always remember that you may realize better savings by not paying the rack rate on hotels and also not utilizing the dining plan. For some families the dining plan may offer too much food, leading to unnecessary consumption to "get your money's worth" which means paying more than you would if you did not use the dining package.
Conversely the dining plan may NOT offer enough food or access to signature dining experiences, leading to additional spending beyond what is allocated.
Perhaps the best advice is to use a Travel Agent like
@Kingdom Konsultant who can do all this work for you and let you know what the best option for your situation is. Also, if something better does come along, they can always modify your plans to take advantage of it. AND they don't charge a commission, so the cost to you is $0 for their services.

Honestly don't know how long that's been running cause I usually watch recorded TV and skip commercial.
