We started planning for our July vacation in March or April of this year, lol. I keep everything in a binder and we have all the large stuff done except for ADR, only because we aren't 180 days out. There is a board on here that one of the dis member made an awesome spread sheet to do all your vacation planning on. It really has helped keep me organized. Anyhow, this board will be keeping an eye out for July discounts and posting as we hear about them. Unfortunately, I have received several Disney destination emails but nothing for July yet. Historically, they offer a room only discount but we will have to wait and see!

good luck!

Question - I have room and ticket reservations already made for July 2013. If and when they come out with a room only discount, can I use it on the reservation I already have?

thanks so much...I'll have to be on the lookout for that spreadsheet! I figured there weren't too many fantastic discounts in July but hope that it won't be soooo crowded and hot that we are miserable. Crossing fingers

Thanks again!

Went ahead and booked (before airfare and discounts). We were afraid the Villa would be sold out if we waited too long... Better safe than sorry. Now hoping for some sort of discount!

Sorry, it took me so long to get back to you. Yes & No, If you get a discounted rate and are already booked they rebook your reservation with the discount. You repay the $200 deposit and they refund your money from the previous reservation. They say it can up to 30 days to refund the money you have already placed on your vacation but it has never taken that long for mine to be refunded. Also, last time I did this they didn't change my reservation when I got a room only discount they just refunded me the difference, no sure why

.

We have booked a package as well through a TA and she is keeping an eye out for discounts as they come out. She has been wonderful!!

Good Luck and happy planning!

Thanks so much for the information. I have never purchase tickets with my room reservations so I was unsure.

We are cruising on the Disney Fantasy in July, but want to add on a couple of days at WDW to check out new Fantasyland. Hoping for a room only discount so we can stay on the monorail, but rates now for Poly are over $500.00 a night! Eek!

Called and spoke with one of the lead CM's at Disney today (I requested a "manager") to ask a few questions about the current Disney Visa Offer and PIN numbers to clear some things up (ie. can I book with my Disney Visa now and if a DV offer comes out for July later have it applied, etc.) I know regular offers can be applied but was not sure about DV offers.

Anyways, after a long conversation with someone who called herself "Destiny," I was told to expect an offer most likely late March/Early April "very similar" to the current DV offer to be applied to late July/early August. Not sure how accurate this is (probably not very) but was a bit uplifting.

As for PINS, I was told that they are not told/given any pin information for the next summer until they walk in to their office/desk closer to the summer.

Very nice person who took the time to answer all of my questions.

Not sure if this helps anyone.

We are doing the same but, looking for a room only discount around the Boardwalk for 5 of us this year.

We are going in July too, mid-late July. We have not booked yet and are hoping for a discount of some sort too. :D
Is it better to book with a travel agent or through the Disney??
