Walt Disney World has teased a brand new October via December 2025 low cost, which was buried within the press launch about Christmas within the parks & resorts. This shares the essential define of that particular supply in case you missed it, our preliminary evaluation and why this deal may be on the subpar facet, plus what else we will count on by way of offers later this week–and probably extra for journey dates in August & September 2025.
As background, 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 gives for Annual Passholders, Floridians, Disney Visa cardholders, and most of the people. (See All Present Walt Disney World Reductions for 2025.)
Notably, there’s an AP supply that runs from August to December 2025, however is just legitimate the next dates:
- August 1 to October 11, 2025
- October 20 to November 1, 2025
- November 17 to November 24, 2025
- December 6 to December 22, 2025
There’s additionally presently the Keep Longer & Save As much as 30% Off Walt Disney World Rooms, which runs from August 1 to October 11, 2025. One other wave of Free Eating was additionally obtainable, nevertheless it was quietly pulled from the particular gives web page just a few weeks in the past (as has turn into an more and more widespread follow).
Individually, there are additionally the 3-Park Magic Low cost Walt Disney World Ticket and/or the 50% Off Youngsters Ticket Deal for Walt Disney World. There’s additionally Walt Disney World’s scorching summer time supply for rooms beginning at $99/evening or ~50% off–the largest room-only low cost in years. That low cost runs from now via July 31, 2025. When you mix all of those offers, you may get the most cost-effective Walt Disney World journey in July 2025 since at the very least 2019.
Final however not least, there’s the Save As much as 40% Off Walt Disney World Resorts ‘Happiest Worth on Earth’ Flash Sale. That simply launched immediately on Priceline and runs via July 11, 2025 for the very same dates (Aug. 1 to Oct. 11) because the ‘Keep Longer & Save Extra’ deal.
As shared in our newest replace to that low cost, we’ve truly been capable of finding some discounted charges of 40% off. Not for our journey dates, nevertheless it’s value testing–particularly in case you’re versatile on dates or resorts. You would possibly discover a deal that beats the present common public and even the AP fee. That’s not the case for our upcoming journeys, nevertheless it’s completely value testing. Positively a YMMV deal.
All of this brings us to Walt Disney World’s teaser for the Halloween and Holidays particular supply:
Trying to rejoice the perfect time of the yr in a Disney Resort resort with loads of advantages together with half-hour of early theme park entry and, for company of Disney Deluxe Resort accommodations or Disney Deluxe Villas, prolonged night park hours?
Buddies and households can save as much as 20% on rooms at choose Disney Resort accommodations, whereas additionally receiving as much as a $100 Walt Disney World Resort Eating & Buying Card when including four-day (or longer!) commonplace theme park tickets to their keep.
This supply is offered to ebook beginning July 10 for stays most Sunday to Thursday nights October 12-November 20, 2025, and most nights November 23-December 25, 2025. Go to DisneyWorld.com/SpecialOffers on July 10, 2025, to get supply particulars.
Whether or not you’re from California, New York, Texas and even simply down the road, get able to sprint via the snow as you snicker and play all the way in which to Disney World this winter. There’s loads of enjoyable available as you experience your favourite attraction and sing your favourite Disney track this vacation season, so be sure to verify your checklist twice and begin planning now.
In different phrases, at the very least one low cost is dropping on July 10, and it’ll be a trip package deal deal maxing out at 20% off plus a $100 eating & procuring present card. This two-fer low cost would possibly sound fairly glorious, however as we clarify under, that might be deceiving.
As for what else will probably be launched, that’s the one certain factor. Our hope is that there’s additionally a common public room low cost (ideally 30% off that would scale to 35% 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 gap-filler dates can also be seemingly.
And as famous above, Free Eating was pulled prematurely–up to now, that has occurred so it might be re-released later as a “new” low cost (maybe with modified dates). I wouldn’t count on any wild playing cards at this level–that proportion financial savings plus the present card is the marquee wild card particular supply round which advertising campaigns will probably be oriented. That actuality in all probability guidelines out a return of Free Eating, except Walt Disney World desires to get aggressive (and at last involves phrases with Free Eating not having the cachet that it as soon as did).
It’s additionally attainable that no matter is launched has blockout dates that mirror the aforementioned Annual Passholder low cost. All the exclusions are for good motive–they’re Fall Break, Jersey Week, Veterans Day, and Thanksgiving. My intestine says that diploma of exclusions is a bit too heavy-handed and certain the results of Walt Disney World erring on the facet of warning for the reason that AP low cost was launched so early. However at the very least a few of these dates might be blocked out from common public particular gives, too. We’ve seen that loads of instances up to now with reductions throughout October, November, and December!
When you’re already overwhelmed or need another person to do the homework for you, use a journey agent. Any journey agent! We suggest requesting a FREE no obligation quote from Be Our Visitor Holidays, an Approved Disney Trip Planner and having them ebook for you.
They’ll help you with the planning course of, enable you select essentially the most economical dates, finest add-ons, and so forth. Notably, in addition they monitor reservations and may retroactively apply new reductions if a higher deal is launched to save lots of you more cash. Equally, they’ll enable you with low cost comparability procuring so that you ebook the perfect low cost for you, not simply the catchiest one. (As may be the case with the 20% off + present card deal.)
Walt Disney World makes these particular gives complicated on objective in order that comparability procuring is tougher. That is executed in a bunch of little methods, which I assume is for advertising functions or to attraction to totally different client psychologies. I actually don’t know. Regardless, we extremely suggest utilizing a journey agent–even when it’s not Be Our Visitor Holidays. (Simply don’t use a Large Field or MLM–see Why You Ought to Use A Disney Journey Agent for extra.)
If you will go the journey agent route for the October via December offers, you want to take action ASAP. Don’t count on to request a quote on July 10 at 8 a.m. and obtain an instantaneous response–you’ll want to get your geese in a row now. My different recommendation is to supply them with backup choices. As with all Walt Disney World particular gives, some resorts, room varieties and dates gained’t be obtainable. Flexibility is the secret relating to offers like this. That’s doubly true throughout October via December, the preferred stretch of the yr at Walt Disney World.

With regards to the deal(s) that’ll be launched on July 10, that’s all we all know. Nothing about collaborating resorts, excluded room classes, anything. My guess is that we’re going to see particular gives, plural, regardless that Walt Disney World has solely teased one. However that’s only a guess. I might additionally guess that October via December reductions will come out first, and by themselves, earlier than any (potential) aggressive reductions backfilling August and September 2025.
For reference, final yr’s low cost for Halloween and Christmas was as much as 30% off resorts for stays most nights from November 24 to December 25, and as much as 20% off stays most Sunday to Thursday nights from October 6 to November 21. There have been a bit extra quirks to the particular supply, however that was the essential contours of the deal.
Reductions have been as little as 10% off some Deluxe Villas (Wilderness Lodge and Animal Kingdom) in addition to the Polynesian and all Worth Resorts. On the different finish of the spectrum, most Deluxe Resorts have been 30% off throughout December.
Individually, there have been extra reductions for Florida residents and Annual Passholders: Save as much as 40% on rooms for stays most nights from December 9 to December 25; Save as much as 35% on rooms for stays most Sunday to Thursday nights from October 6 to November 21, and most nights from November 24 to December 25. (As at all times, APs bought superior financial savings, with the reductions being 5-10% much less for Floridians, relying upon dates.)
Whereas it’ll come all the way down to the specifics, it’s seemingly {that a} similarly-tiered low cost peaking at 20% off with an as much as $100 eating present card that requires a minimal length-of-stay and ticket buy will probably be inferior to final yr’s gives for a lot of vacationers. This may in all probability be true even in case you assume the minimal keep and tickets are one thing you’d do anyway.
It is because it seems that the eating card will probably be per keep versus per evening. A 4-night keep works out to be $25 per evening (by way of the present card deal), whereas 10% off Disney’s BoardWalk Inn (about center of the highway relating to Deluxe Resort rack charges) is $77.60 for the least-expensive vacation season journey dates. In different phrases, you’d be higher off forgoing the low cost in favor of 30% off Deluxe Resorts versus 20% off plus that present card.
I hesitate to do any extra math, even of the back-of-envelope nature, as a result of Walt Disney World has solely teased particulars to date and the specifics may differ dramatically. If that eating & procuring present card finally ends up being per evening as an alternative of per keep, it might change the equation fairly dramatically. However it looks like Walt Disney World would’ve clearly communicated as a lot if that have been the case, main me to consider this particular supply will probably be inferior to final yr.
So what provides? Why would Walt Disney World supply lesser offers than final yr given the scorching summer time gross sales? One easy clarification is what we mentioned at size in Why Summer season is the New Low Crowds Season at Walt Disney World.
The entire level of that submit is that attendance and occupancy are not down throughout the board; that this phenomenon is confined to the summer time. This is the reason we cautioned readers towards wanting to verify their very own narratives about Disney pricing out the center class, increased costs, fewer perks, or Disney’s declining repute.
The one explanations that work for the crowds droop have been ones distinctive to summer time. As a result of the remainder of the yr, particularly winter, is getting comparatively busier as a result of company shifting their journeys away from what was the summer time vacationer season. That alone may clarify the rise in reductions for Could via September, however a lower in offers for October via December. (Anticipate the same story in January via March; the low cost lower then may be much more pronounced as winter crowds enhance.)
Past that, CFO Hugh Johnston expressed enthusiasm for the Parks & Resorts section through the firm’s most up-to-date earnings name, indicating that Walt Disney World carried out higher than anticipated for the fiscal quarter. As mentioned in Walt Disney World Bookings Are Up for Remainder of 2025, resort reservations for the rest of this yr are outpacing final yr.
Johnston revealed that bookings for Walt Disney World are trending up 4% within the third quarter and up 7% for the fourth quarter. Not solely that, however the first quarter of 2026 (which is definitely October via December 2025), Disney beforehand guided to six% to eight% progress. Given the numbers that the CFO was seeing (as of Could), the precise progress might be going to be on the increased finish of that for the Experiences enterprise for this yr.
Whereas these year-over-year will increase sound spectacular–and are given the encompassing circumstances–remember that final yr was down as in comparison with the prior yr. So the baseline was decrease, and that is extra a reversion to the norm. It’s additionally attainable that these numbers are up a lot as a result of of discounting. July is a part of the third quarter that’s trending up 4%, and we’re seeing unprecedented offers for this month, particularly.
In different phrases, it’s attainable that Walt Disney World is fueling robust outcomes by persevering with the aggressive reductions for in any other case lower-occupancy months. That strikes me as extremely believable once more for August via September 2025, which is why we’re nonetheless of the assumption that one thing on par with the scorching summer time Disney+ subscriber deal may come out of left discipline. That appears a lot much less seemingly for October via December, although. There simply isn’t the identical want for discounting to incentivize visits, as that’s occurring organically as summer time hollows out.
Talking of which, what may we see for an August and/or September shock deal? We just about already coated this within the Priceline submit, however 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 delicate 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 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 gives throughout ‘Christmas in July’ and can maintain you posted with specifics, evaluation, and will notify subscribers of our free electronic mail e-newsletter when any Walt Disney World reductions are launched or rumored!
