Disney does not do deals as such on cruises but there are ways to off set the cost and get a good price

Book As Soon As Booking Opens
Disney open bookings for cruise approx 18 months in advance. They open bookings according to seasons. For example January to May 2021 were opened at the start of October 2019. May to September 2021 will open around March / April 2020.
Disney increases the prices as the cruise books up and gets closer to departure date, similar to airlines. Therefore the cheapest prices for Disney cruises are usually opening day and during the first 6 months after booking opens.

Book A Disney Cruise Through A Specialised Disney Travel Agent
Many Specialised Disney Travel Agent offer on board credit. This is usually based on a % of the total cruise cost. I booked with Dreams Unlimited and got $100 onboard credit, which will cover the automatic tips.

Book A Placeholder
This last option wont help with your first Disney cruise but it will help for subsequent cruises. Book a placeholder for a future cruise while on board a Disney cruise and you get a discount and pay a lower deposit. The placeholder is good for 24 months from the time of booking.

Disney does both coasts of Mexico, are you looking for the Caribbean or the Pacific?

You'll get the cheapest price by booking through Costco Travel. The price they will quote you will be teh same but the refund on the back end is bigger with Costco. However if you need hand holding I would agree with BadTink's advice and book with a travel agent that is knowledgeable about Disney Cruises.
