Here's a Disney World dining discount you might not know about: Snag a couple Landry's gift cards at Costco for 20% off at restaurants throughout the resort.

It's no secret that a Disney vacation is expensive. And with Disney raising prices regularly, I'm always looking to find a deal wherever I can.

Disney-branded gift cards are a great way to do this, but sometimes it can be difficult to snag those deals if you don't have a Target Red Card or certain memberships. On top of that, those discounts usually are capped at about 5%.

But if you're a Costco member (or know one who can snag this deal for you), there's a great deal on gift cards you can use at select Disney World restaurants.

This deal sneaks right by a lot of people who don't realize some of the listed restaurants are actually in Disney World. Until recently, I didn't realize it either!

LANDRY'S AT DISNEY

Three Disney World restaurants are Landry's brands, which means you can use Landry's gift cards to pay for your meals: T-REX, Rainforest Cafe (two locations), and my all-time favorite, Yak & Yeti.

At Costco, you can buy Landry's gift cards and get two $50 cards for $80. And at the moment, this deal is available online too! That basically means you can get that gigantic plate of Yak & Yeti's famous Ahi Tuna Nachos for free!

If you haven't been to Yak & Yeti before, make that reservation ASAP and take advantage of this awesome deal. It's truly my favorite restaurant in all of Disney World and is more than worth it even at full price.

For even more perks, you can also sign up to join Landry's Select Club. It costs $25 to join, but you'll then get a $25 credit to use at any Landry's brand.

As a member, you can earn free food every time you dine, and you'll also get priority seating when you do. That includes skipping the line and being seated quickly, even if you don't have a reservation! 

It's not guaranteed if the restaurant is busy, so I'd still advise making a reservation ahead of time, especially at Yak & Yeti. But this can certainly come in handy if you aren't able to snag one!

ORLANDO RESTAURANTS

If you plan on stepping outside the Disney bubble for any of your meals, there are also other locations around Orlando where you can use these gift cards, including:

  • Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.
  • Joe’s Crab Shack
  • Landry’s Seafood House
  • Morton’s The Steakhouse
  • Saltgrass Steak House
For the full list of Landry's brands across the U.S., head to their website.

If you're planning on visiting any of these restaurants on your Disney trip, stock up on some Landry's gift cards while they're available!
