Walt Disney World offers are coming. The get together doesn’t finish after the Independence Day weekend, as one other vacation is on the horizon: Christmas in July. There might be a ton of gross sales subsequent week, and a type of might be a limited-time low cost providing as much as 40% off resort resorts at Walt Disney World.
The genesis of this all is Prime Day, which is basically Amazon’s Christmas in July sale. The retail behemoth created its personal money-saving vacation a number of years in the past to rival Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Amazon’s Prime Day will return July 8-11, 2025 and there are already ‘early entry’ offers within the lead-up to the sale.
Not desirous to miss out on the motion, different retailers are getting in on the “enjoyable” of Amazon Prime Day 2025, and subsequent week mainly has grow to be the beginning of Christmas (purchasing season) in July. There’s additionally Walmart Offers Week, which begins July 8, 2025 at 12 am ET. There’s additionally Goal Circle Week, unique to Goal Circle members, beginning July 6, 2025. I’m certain Kohl’s can be having a sale…as a result of when isn’t Kohl’s having a sale?!
The most recent entry into the Christmas in July/Prime Day-counterprogramming is Priceline’s first-ever “Blissful Worth Days.” It is a brand-new financial savings occasion designed to convey large offers to prime journey locations.
To launch, Priceline is unveiling a can’t-miss supply for Walt Disney World followers and deal seekers alike: The Happiest Worth on Earth Sale – that includes as much as 40% off Walt Disney World Resort resorts, out there solely from July 8-11, 2025.
For 4 days solely, vacationers can e book their keep at The Most Magical Place on Earth at Priceline’s happiest costs of the season.
To date, these are the one particulars we’ve got about “The Happiest Worth on Earth Sale” for Walt Disney World. I acquired these particulars by way of a press launch yesterday and adopted up with a ton of questions–the precise ones I’m certain you’ve gotten–and was going to attend till I had solutions earlier than publishing. However the clock is ticking on the vacation weekend and I doubt I’m going to have extra earlier than Monday, if in any respect.
Furthermore, I needed to place this in your radar as a result of it’s doubtless that we’re going to see one other flurry of Walt Disney World reductions within the subsequent two weeks. Not simply this, however particular presents instantly from Disney. We’ve began getting extra questions on offers for the rest of the 12 months, and it’s doubtless that they’re coming quickly. (Actually, that’s what the Priceline “Happiest Worth on Earth Sale” may really be.)
Let’s cowl what to anticipate from the subsequent wave of reductions, together with however not restricted to the Priceline Happiest Worth on Earth Flash Sale, beginning with what’s at present out there…
In case you missed it, Walt Disney World launched its final ‘wave’ of reductions for 2025 holidays this summer season and fall again in late March and early April. That included particular presents for Annual Passholders, Floridians, Disney Visa cardholders, and most of the people. For each different particular supply that’s at present out there, see All Present Walt Disney World Reductions for 2025.
The extensive room low cost for this timeframe is the Keep Longer & Save As much as 30% Off WDW Rooms, which runs most nights from August 1 to October 11, 2025. One other wave of Free Eating was additionally out there, however it was quietly pulled from the particular presents web page just a few weeks in the past (as has grow to be an more and more frequent follow).
Subsequent to that, Walt Disney World has launched yet one more resort particular supply with rooms beginning at $99/evening or ~50% off–the largest room-only low cost in years. Though it was launched later, that low cost solely runs by July 31, 2025.
Individually, there are additionally the 3-Park Magic Low cost Walt Disney World Ticket and/or the 50% Off Children Ticket Deal for Walt Disney World a greater possibility! For those who mix all of those offers, you may get the least expensive Walt Disney World journey in July 2025 since at the least 2019.
Based mostly on historic precedent, the subsequent full spherical of 2025 reductions might be launched between mid-June and early July 2025. Clearly, late June is already within the rearview mirror and no promotions are going to drop within the lead-up to the vacation weekend, so we’re trying on the second week of July 2025 on the absolute earliest.
This subsequent wave ought to embrace extra particular presents for October by December 2025. The final spherical ended October 11, so it could stand to purpose that the subsequent set of particular presents will run October 12 by December 23, 2025.
As at all times, that’s plus or minus just a few days–there are holidays on each ends of that vary that muddy the waters a bit (that lengthy weekend in October could be very standard for fall break, so I may see particular presents probably not beginning till October 14, 2025).
As for what might be launched, the one certain factor is a basic public room low cost (most likely 30% off that might scale to 35% or 40% off with a ‘keep longer & save extra’ possibility). If that deal does scale, one other AP and FL resident cope with higher financial savings and extra dates can be doubtless.
And as famous above, Free Eating was pulled prematurely–previously, that has occurred so it could possibly be re-released later as a “new” low cost (maybe with modified dates). I additionally wouldn’t be stunned by a wild card supply or two–probably the ~$100 eating card deal or a kid-focused low cost, reminiscent of children play & dine for 50% off.
October by December is mostly excessive occupancy and Disney already indicated that forward-bookings had been sturdy, so the vacation season may see extra restrained financial savings. It’s really nearer time period, in August and September, once we may see the extra aggressive presents.
As recommended above, it’s completely attainable that the Priceline “Happiest Worth on Earth Sale” is solely a advertising wrapper on prime of reductions that might be publicly out there from Walt Disney World. That each one we’ve gotten right here is the beginning date of July 8, 2025 for these. However it wouldn’t make sense for these particular presents to be a flash sale that ends on July 11, 2025.
Perhaps Priceline negotiated a “bonus” 5% off for a restricted time, and the particular supply will look very comparable to what’s already been launched for Annual Passholders and Florida residents for August by December 2025.
Perhaps it’ll be just for August and September, and extra carefully align with the aforementioned Disney+ deal that’s working for roughly one month. Perhaps it’s an unique deal by advantage of being launched first on Priceline, after which it’ll grow to be out there for most of the people by way of DisneyWorld.com and journey brokers the next week.
Any of those are potentialities that can not be dominated out. My intestine intuition is that that is advertising for a basic public supply and never something actually particular. I’m simply skeptical that Walt Disney World would launch its greatest offers by way of a 3rd get together given the advantages of doing so instantly and concentrating on them at varied affinity teams.
There’s additionally the fact that this is able to doubtless anger loads of Licensed Disney Trip Planners. It couldn’t come at a worse time, provided that Disney wants them proper now (see Why Summer season is Sluggish at Walt Disney World). Not solely that, however Common is making severe inroads with journey brokers.
However stranger issues have occurred–and comparatively just lately. After I first heard the rumors of the Costco Disneyland Ticket Deal, I didn’t imagine it–sounded too good to be true. However it’s true. Disney has its causes for doing that, I’m certain, and the identical may maintain true with superior financial savings on Walt Disney World resorts by way of Priceline. Nonetheless, I’m skeptical.
Usually, the one strategy to rating deeper reductions than instantly can be by way of Priceline Categorical Offers on Walt Disney World Resorts. Websites like Priceline, Hotwire, and Lodge Tonight supply substantial financial savings, however the tradeoff is that don’t know the identify of the resort till you pay. It’s a blind reserving–however there are methods to reverse-engineer the resort you’re reserving (as we clarify in that article).
The explanation for these blind bookings is in order that resort chains, together with Walt Disney World, can dump unsold stock on the final minute whereas concealing to most of the people that they’re unloading rooms at such an inexpensive charge. That may tarnish their model, irritate visitors who paid considerably extra, or create an expectation amongst customers of future gross sales.
That’s not what the the “Happiest Worth on Earth Sale” is, although. That is going to be clear charges of as much as 40% off Walt Disney World resorts. We simply don’t know the specifics, whether or not it’s really unique to Priceline, and so on.
Talking of Priceline Categorical Offers, we haven’t seen something widespread for on-site Disney resorts since final September. (Third get together on-site resorts proceed to make appearances with regularity.)
That is attention-grabbing as a result of the Disney+ deal for this summer season usually would’ve been precisely the kind of low cost to wind up on Priceline. A comparatively last-minute deep low cost on a restricted variety of resorts with financial savings superior to even Annual Passholder charges–that checks actually all the containers of a blind reserving, minus the blind half.
I’ve been questioning whether or not Walt Disney World deemed that Disney+ deal successful or failure. It was insanely standard–there’s zero doubt about that. However did it seize new reservations, or largely lead to a bunch of present reservations modifying to make the most of cheaper costs? Based mostly on what we noticed, it was positively a mixture of the 2–so it comes right down to the distribution.
Many readers have requested whether or not we count on an analogous particular supply for August and September 2025. The simple reply is sure, provided that these are usually the 2 lowest-occupancy months of the 12 months. The actual query, although, is how that deal is likely to be achieved. Will or not it’s one other focused Disney+ deal that helps juice subscriber numbers whereas additionally providing substantial financial savings? Will or not it’s Disney quietly dumping stock on blind reserving websites? Will or not it’s one thing else?
It’s attainable that we simply bought our reply–it’s Priceline’s Happiest Worth on Earth Flash Sale–and we simply don’t understand it but. I actually don’t have a solution, however needed to however convey this to your consideration.
My intestine is that we’re going to see a number of offers roll out–and never unexpectedly–this month for journey dates from August by December 2025. I’d go additional and see that the present AP charges of 35% off are going to be surpassed (and never simply by this 40% Priceline sale, which could possibly be illusory).
I’d count on the perfect offers to be on the next resorts (asterisks point out Disney+ deal eligibility):
- All Star Resorts*
- Port Orleans Riverside Resort*
- Coronado Springs Resort
- Household Suites at Artwork of Animation Resort*
- Saratoga Springs Resort*
- Previous Key West Resort
- Animal Kingdom Lodge*
- Cabins at Fort Wilderness
- Grand Floridian Resort
- Yacht Membership Resort
This checklist relies on a mix of the aggressive Disney+ deal, plus earlier inclusion in aggressive reductions and Priceline Categorical Offers. Inclusion of resorts with conference facilities is dependent upon group bookings for fall and past–we’ve heard some rumblings that these have been comfortable as Disney faces elevated competitors and companies look to chop prices.
Lastly, I wouldn’t count on the aggressive Disney+ deal to be surpassed. That was actually good and bought out quick; if Disney discovered any lesson from that, it’s most likely that they don’t must dangle 50%+ off. However we will see!
We’re in uncharted territory at this level, with Walt Disney World deviating fairly considerably from the 2019 playbook that they’d been utilizing. We’ll be monitoring particular presents throughout ‘Christmas in July’ and can hold you posted with specifics, evaluation, and will notify subscribers of our free e-mail publication when any Walt Disney World reductions are launched or rumored!
