Walt Disney World offers are coming. There can be a ton of ‘Christmas in July’ gross sales beginning quickly, and a type of can be a limited-time low cost providing as much as 40% off resort resorts at Walt Disney World. (Up to date July 7, 2025 with journey dates for the flash sale.)
The genesis of this all is Prime Day, which is actually 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 principally has change into the beginning of Christmas (procuring 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 most recent entry into the Christmas in July/Prime Day-counterprogramming is Priceline’s first-ever “Completely satisfied Value Days.” This can be a brand-new financial savings occasion designed to carry massive offers to high journey locations.
To launch, Priceline is unveiling a can’t-miss supply for Walt Disney World followers and deal seekers alike: The Happiest Value 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.
UPDATE: Priceline has shared with us the journey dates for this low cost can be August 1, 2025 by October 11, 2025.
We’d be remiss if we didn’t level out that there’s at present a large room low cost for this actual identical time-frame: Keep Longer & Save As much as 30% Off Walt Disney World Rooms. One other wave of Free Eating was additionally out there, however it was quietly pulled from the particular provides web page a couple of weeks in the past (as has change into an more and more widespread apply).
Clearly, this maxes out at 40% off whereas the present deal for those self same dates is just 30% off. It’ll be fascinating to see the specifics are of this new Priceline Happiest Value on Earth Sale, and whether or not it’s actually one thing particular. It’s attainable that the deal is that, however with one other 10% off throughout all tiers, which might be unbelievable.
It’s additionally attainable it’s that deal…however with one resort or two at 40% off. Final 12 months, there was a DVC Buddies & Household 40% Off Low cost for Saratoga Springs and Outdated Key West, and it wasn’t precisely nice. A repeat of that’s most likely the worst case state of affairs. My guess is that we’ll land someplace in between, with this Priceline deal being about the identical for a lot of resorts–however with diminished availability–and wonderful for a handful of choices and choose journey dates. Guess we’ll discover out tomorrow morning!
Up to now, these are the one particulars we have now about “The Happiest Value on Earth Sale” for Walt Disney World.
I however needed to place this in your radar as a result of it’s seemingly that we’re going to see one other flurry of Walt Disney World reductions within the subsequent two weeks. Not simply this, however particular provides immediately from Disney. We’ve began getting extra questions on offers for the rest of the 12 months, and it’s seemingly that they’re coming quickly.
Let’s cowl what to anticipate from the following wave of reductions, together with however not restricted to the Priceline Happiest Value 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 time and fall again in late March and early April. That included particular provides 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 most effective case state of affairs is that this Priceline deal is much like Walt Disney World’s scorching summer time supply for rooms beginning at $99/evening or ~50% off–the most important room-only low cost in years. That low cost runs from now 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! In the event you mix all of those offers, you possibly can get the most cost-effective Walt Disney World journey in July 2025 since a minimum of 2019.
Based mostly on historic precedent, the following full spherical of 2025 reductions can 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 provides for October by December 2025. The final spherical ended October 11, so it will stand to motive that the following set of particular provides will run October 12 by 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 may be very fashionable for fall break, so I might see particular provides probably not beginning till October 14, 2025).
As for what can be launched, the one certain factor is a basic public room low cost (most likely 30% off that would 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 also be seemingly.
And as famous above, Free Eating was pulled prematurely–prior to now, 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, corresponding to youngsters play & dine for 50% off.
October by December is usually excessive occupancy and Disney already indicated that forward-bookings had been sturdy, so the vacation season might see extra restrained financial savings. It’s really nearer time period, in August and September, once we would possibly see the extra aggressive provides.
As advised above, it’s fully attainable that the Priceline “Happiest Value on Earth Sale” is solely a advertising wrapper on high of reductions that can 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 provides 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 intently align with the aforementioned Disney+ deal that’s operating for roughly one month. Perhaps 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 potentialities that can’t 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 occasion given the advantages of doing so immediately and concentrating on them at numerous affinity teams.
There’s additionally the fact that this may seemingly anger loads of Approved 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 not too long ago. Once 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 would possibly maintain true with superior financial savings on Walt Disney World resorts by way of Priceline. Nonetheless, I’m skeptical.
Usually, the one approach to rating deeper reductions than immediately could be by way of Priceline Categorical Offers on Walt Disney World Resorts. Websites like Priceline, Hotwire, and Resort 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 price. 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 Value 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 forth.
Talking of Priceline Categorical Offers, we haven’t seen something widespread for on-site Disney resorts since final September. (Third occasion on-site resorts proceed to make appearances with regularity.)
That is fascinating as a result of the Disney+ deal for this summer time 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 a hit or failure. It was insanely fashionable–there’s zero doubt about that. However did it seize new reservations, or largely end in a bunch of present reservations modifying to reap the benefits of cheaper costs? Based mostly 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, provided that these are sometimes the 2 lowest-occupancy months of the 12 months. The actual query, although, is how that deal is perhaps 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 attainable that we simply obtained our reply–it’s Priceline’s Happiest Value on Earth Flash Sale–and we simply don’t comprehend it but. I actually don’t have a solution, however needed to however carry this to your consideration.
My intestine is that we’re going to see a number of offers roll out–and never abruptly–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 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 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 smooth 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 bought out quick; if Disney discovered any lesson from that, it’s most likely 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 provides throughout ‘Christmas in July’ and can maintain you posted with specifics, evaluation, and will notify subscribers of our free e-mail e-newsletter when any Walt Disney World reductions are launched or rumored!
