Walt Disney World Resort Properties - Up to 25% Off Summer Stays On Most Nights July 11-Sept 29, 2021

good deal if you don't need tickets, since those aren't included in price

They never are. Not that I'm a huge Disney traveler but any time I've been there the resort and tickets are separate. Sometimes they will bundle them but the discount isn't much even then.

If you're going anyway, that's fine but I can't imagine being there in July-Early Sept timeframe. We were there a few weeks ago and I'd say that while the climate was good for most of the time, when it starts to hit mid-80's with humidity it starts to become unbearable. Both my wife and I commented to each other how being there in the summer would be murder.

They do have bundles, too bad not discounted, was hoping it was included since I'm out of state and need tickets included ...

Guess I can get the discount and maybe get a deal on tickets separate ....

Still good price

You can get another 8.8% off if you have a Discover card and BJ's membership (up to $1500 spend per card through the end of June) if you buy Disney GC and use that for payment. Otherwise BJ's offers the best flat discount for GC purchases ($500 GC for $480).

target redcard is $500 gc for $475

and hiiiii

Damn, smart brain! never thought about that

Will look at that now. Thanks

Only catch is this - if for any reason you need to be issued a refund - e.g. let's say the trip falls through - it will be refunded back to the GC. So IOW, after you pay for the trip (or whatever you buy with the GC), don't toss it until you're REALLY sure whatever you paid for is done.

Good to know, will def save them ....

While I am sure things will change in the next 3-6 months, in early April some rides and stores/food were closed, while they were also @ ~ 1/3 capacity (park). They got rid of Fastpass (doesn't make sense if your intent is to limit people in groups) except for rider swap (and probably other gimmes). Highest wait time in any of the parks was for one of the Avatar rides @ 70min. Most were 20-30min depending on the time of day. you also had to preregister for your park days (due to limited capacity) which makes planning difficult as you can't plan around bad weather. Ride lines may look long but basically what they've done is reduce the snaking that's indoors and instead put it outdoors so you'll see huge snaking lines everywhere when in fact they aren't really that long. Some ride operators seemed to care about the 6 foot markers whereas most didn't, nor did most park-goers. Absolutely zero character interaction except sporadic floats/parades from afar, unless you do a dining experience and the characters just dance through the restaurant.

They've also taken the opportunity to do a lot of remodeling. Epcot, mostly the area around the sphere was all walled off and impossible to get around - you have to go on huge detours to avoid all the construction. also no fireworks, etc. Our resort did have a lame-ass boat parade light show every night. Operating hours are limited and shifted around. For example MK was 8-8 whereas Epcot was 11-11pm.

The other thing that was interesting is that ALL the parks tended to open well before the official opening - 1+ hr - and not just "we'll let you in the park and then you wait at a rope inside" kind of crap, but actually waiting in line for rides. The apps wouldn't work for wait times until the official park opening time though.

Temp checks were quick and easy. They'll insist you wear a mask but they don't keep track of it and they won't harass you about it. My 7yo daughter always had hers slip down below her nose and occasionally a cast member would remind her but then you move on, they're not chasing you around the park. No need to wear masks for photos. Of course I imagine all that will change .

What part of the county did you travel from? Im curious cause my wife refuses to visits Disney Wold in July because of the heat. My argument to my wife is who better to get alklamated to Florida heat than travelers from Georgia.
