Disney Travel Alerts Brief
Thursday, May 7, 2026 · Coverage: Last 24 hours · All categories
Summer 2026 deals are now in full swing across every Disney property. The headline today is the $99/night Disney+ Perks rate at All-Star Sports — the deepest hotel discount in years. Disneyland's early-2026 hotel offer expires TODAY (May 7), and Aulani's Spring offer closes its booking window June 5. Disney Cruise Line continues to release Restricted Rate (IGT/OGT/VGT) inventory at up to 35% off through October 2026.
✦ Today's Hidden Gem
One real, bookable trip deal under $3,500 for a family of 4 — verified and specific.

Disney+ Perks $99 Stack: 5 Nights at All-Star Sports + 4-Park Magic Tickets, July 12–17, 2026
|
Est. Total Cost (Family of 4)
~$2,750–$3,100 (room + tickets, pre-tax)
|
Travel Dates
Sun, July 12 – Fri, July 17, 2026 (5 nights)

What's Included
Standard room at Disney's All-Star Sports ($99/night = $495) + 4-Day, 4-Park Magic tickets ($436 per guest x 4 = $1,744) + free water park admission on check-in day
|
Why It's a Gem
$99/night is the lowest publicly bookable WDW rack rate in years — and the dates qualify because they fall outside the July 4 / Aug 6–15 blackouts
|
An on-property summer Disney World week for a family of 4 under $3,200 is virtually unheard of. The catch: you must enroll in Disney+ Perks (free for active Disney+ subscribers) at disneyplus.com/perks before booking. Inventory at the $99 tier is capped — the deal flips to $109/night on July 2–4, July 9–11, and Aug 6–15. Add a free water-park visit on check-in day and Quick-Service kids' meals (free for ages 3–9 with a qualifying package) and the value compounds fast.
