Hoping for Discount May 2022! DISNEYS 50TH (Changed from Sept-Oct)

[louey]

I would assume additional rooms and park capacity will be opened before October, but I also don't think any discounts will be offered.

As far as special things for the 1st, I'm guessing merchandise, cupcakes, fireworks, maybe a proclamation/speech in the morning...but it's so tough to say right now without knowing what regulations will be in place. At least if there is limited merchandise it'll probably be all virtual waiting instead of lines.

You all are dashing my hopes of a discount I know it makes sense that they won't have a problem filling up the rooms, but I'm still hoping . As far as merchandise goes if they are going to be celebrating the 50th for 18 months then merchandise will be plenty for sure! But like you say if they have some limited goodies then maybe that may be hard to find.

Well today is my 180 days out until our vacation and sad that we cannot make any dining reservations until 60 days out. I guess it really is no big deal just missing the old days.

I found a good discount for our trip in October! I saw the above message about mentioning travel agency and companies. How do you know if a place is approved for sharing?

The only TA that can be announced is Disney or this website.

Thank you for the clarification.

This thread has gone quiet and so has a Dis hinting at any kind of promotion which is disappointing. We are already making cutbacks like taking out our shopping day at DS, choosing a lot fewer table service meals and thinking about shortening the days we are in even in WDW. At least we get to go, be in the warm FL air and use up travel vouchers set to expire.

I agree, but the current discount offer doesn't expire until May 27, 2021. Historical DW (going by MouseSavers) discounts for Sept-October do not come out until Julyish, so I'm still hoping

She is getting all dressed up for her 50TH!!!

Worth pointing out that there are no offers (yet) for October over here in the UK. Our offers usually come out many months in advance and to date, our offers are only up to the 12th September. I'm starting to wonder if there will be any discounts for October this year

I know it probably makes sense that there won't be any discounts since Disney will probably have no problem filling resorts due to the 50th. The financial hit they took in 2020 with Disney World/Cruise lines also makes sense that they won't do discount We are going regardless but just so use to getting some kind of discount that it will just suck to pay rack rate. Planning this trip has not been fun like our others due to the circumstances No Club Level, No Fast Passes, No Dining Reservations until 60 days out, No Fireworks etc.....those I hope change before our trip . Keeping my fingers crossed for some Pixie Dust to magically make them all come back before our trip as well as discount lol one can hope

My *guess* is there will be offers for fall like usual but with dates around the 50th blacked out. As far as UK offers, perhaps they are taking a wait and see approach as international pandemic travel and restrictions have been changing so much? I really have no idea but you are correct that you guys usually get a jump on offers.

I'm just hoping they open another value resort for this time. For our dates they only had preferred rooms available at Movies.

Congratulations! I lack the psychic energy necessary for this task, so I assigned it to family to get done.

So for the discount for July 11th to September 29, 2021 on the DW website it says "Book Through Now Booking" there is no date listed for book by? and I just noticed this? So I wonder if there will be any further discounts for Fall? I am pretty sure the answer is NO but still curious why there is no Book By date
So Happy they are bringing back the Fireworks and that many things are still returning back to normal.

According to Mousesavers, the general public offer is book by Aug 28th 2021. I’m still hopeful that new AP discounts will be released near the AP offer expiry (Jul 10th) and that there will also be more general public offers after Aug 28th.

Last week I booked at AKL using the general public offer and shortly after I was emailed a survey about discounts. The way it read, they wanted to know how much a discount was influencing my decision to book a trip. Would lack of a discount prevent me from booking a future trip. What do I do with the savings when I book with a discount (do I upgrade to a better hotel category, extend my stay, spend more on food/merch, simply save the money etc….). To me, that was a strong indication that Disney IS planning to offer discounts for the remainder of 2021 and into 2022.

What if Disney does a soft 50th celebration starting Sept to spread out the crowds . Would be genius of them

That would be awesome but unlikely since the 50th celebration is already 18 months long as is
