Walt Disney World offers are coming. The occasion 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 lodges 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 eager to miss out on the motion, different retailers are getting in on the “enjoyable” of Amazon Prime Day 2025, and subsequent week mainly has change into 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 also be having a sale…as a result of when isn’t Kohl’s having a sale?!
The newest entry into the Christmas in July/Prime Day-counterprogramming is Priceline’s first-ever “Glad Worth Days.” It is a brand-new financial savings occasion designed to deliver 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 lodges, out there solely from July 8-11, 2025.
For 4 days solely, vacationers can ebook their keep at The Most Magical Place on Earth at Priceline’s happiest costs of the season.
Up to now, these are the one particulars we now have about “The Happiest Worth on Earth Sale” for Walt Disney World. I obtained these particulars by way of a press launch yesterday and adopted up with a ton of questions–the precise ones I’m certain you may have–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 immediately 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. (In actual fact, that’s what the Priceline “Happiest Worth on Earth Sale” may truly 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 presently 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 presently out there, see All Present Walt Disney World Reductions for 2025.
The huge 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, nevertheless it was quietly pulled from the particular presents web page a couple of weeks in the past (as has change into an more and more widespread follow).
Subsequent to that, Walt Disney World has launched one more resort particular supply with rooms beginning at $99/night time or ~50% off–the largest room-only low cost in years. Despite the fact that it was launched later, that low cost solely runs by way of 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 choice! When you mix all of those offers, you might get the most cost-effective Walt Disney World journey in July 2025 since at the very least 2019.
Primarily based 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 embody extra particular presents for October by way of December 2025. The final spherical ended October 11, so it might stand to cause that the subsequent set of particular presents will run October 12 by way of December 23, 2025.
As at all times, that’s plus or minus a couple of days–there are holidays on each ends of that vary that muddy the waters a bit (that lengthy weekend in October could be very in style for fall break, so I might 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 (in all probability 30% off that would scale to 35% or 40% off with a ‘keep longer & save extra’ choice). If that deal does scale, one other AP and FL resident cope with higher financial savings and extra dates can also be doubtless.
And as famous above, Free Eating was pulled prematurely–prior to now, that has occurred so it might be re-released later as a “new” low cost (maybe with modified dates). I additionally wouldn’t be shocked by a wild card supply or two–probably the ~$100 eating card deal or a kid-focused low cost, corresponding to youngsters play & dine for 50% off.
October by way of December is mostly excessive occupancy and Disney already indicated that forward-bookings had been robust, so the vacation season might see extra restrained financial savings. It’s truly nearer time period, in August and September, once we may see the extra aggressive presents.
As recommended above, it’s completely potential 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. Nevertheless it wouldn’t make sense for these particular presents to be a flash sale that ends on July 11, 2025.
Possibly 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 way of December 2025.
Possibly it’ll be just for August and September, and extra intently align with the aforementioned Disney+ deal that’s working for roughly one month. Possibly it’s an unique deal by advantage of being launched first on Priceline, after which it’ll change into out there for most of the people by way of DisneyWorld.com and journey brokers the next week.
Any of those are prospects that can’t be dominated out. My intestine intuition is that that is advertising for a basic public supply and never something really particular. I’m simply skeptical that Walt Disney World would launch its greatest offers by way of a 3rd occasion given the advantages of doing so immediately and focusing on them at numerous affinity teams.
There’s additionally the fact that this may doubtless anger loads of Licensed Disney Trip Planners. It couldn’t come at a worse time, on condition that Disney wants them proper now (see Why Summer time is Gradual at Walt Disney World). Not solely that, however Common is making severe inroads with journey brokers.
However stranger issues have occurred–and comparatively lately. After I first heard the rumors of the Costco Disneyland Ticket Deal, I didn’t consider 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. However, I’m skeptical.
Usually, the one solution to rating deeper reductions than immediately could be by way of Priceline Specific 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 lodge till you pay. It’s a blind reserving–however there are methods to reverse-engineer the lodge you’re reserving (as we clarify in that article).
The rationale for these blind bookings is in order that lodge 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 affordable charge. That may tarnish their model, irritate company who paid considerably extra, or create an expectation amongst shoppers 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 truly unique to Priceline, and so on.
Talking of Priceline Specific Offers, we haven’t seen something widespread for on-site Disney lodges since final September. (Third occasion on-site lodges 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 bins of a blind reserving, minus the blind half.
I’ve been questioning whether or not Walt Disney World deemed that Disney+ deal a hit or failure. It was insanely in style–there’s zero doubt about that. However did it seize new reservations, or largely end in a bunch of current reservations modifying to reap the benefits of cheaper costs? Primarily based on what we noticed, it was undoubtedly a mixture of the 2–so it comes right down to the distribution.
Many readers have requested whether or not we anticipate an analogous particular supply for August and September 2025. The simple reply is sure, on condition that these are sometimes the 2 lowest-occupancy months of the 12 months. The true query, although, is how that deal may be achieved. Will it’s one other focused Disney+ deal that helps juice subscriber numbers whereas additionally providing substantial financial savings? Will it’s Disney quietly dumping stock on blind reserving websites? Will it’s one thing else?
It’s potential that we simply obtained our reply–it’s Priceline’s Happiest Worth on Earth Flash Sale–and we simply don’t comprehend it but. I really don’t have a solution, however needed to however deliver this to your consideration.
My intestine is that we’re going to see a number of offers roll out–and never –this month for journey dates from August by way of 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 might be illusory).
I’d anticipate 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*
- Outdated Key West Resort
- Animal Kingdom Lodge*
- Cabins at Fort Wilderness
- Grand Floridian Resort
- Yacht Membership Resort
This record is predicated on a mix of the aggressive Disney+ deal, plus earlier inclusion in aggressive reductions and Priceline Specific Offers. Inclusion of resorts with conference facilities is determined by group bookings for fall and past–we’ve heard some rumblings that these have been mushy as Disney faces elevated competitors and companies look to chop prices.
Lastly, I wouldn’t anticipate the aggressive Disney+ deal to be surpassed. That was actually good and offered out quick; if Disney realized any lesson from that, it’s in all probability that they don’t have to 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 preserve 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!
