$129. at Royal Pacific for 12/20 anyone find anything cheaper?

[cassie714]

THis is the AP rate. The entertainment book says guaranteed lowest rate. Do you think they will give me something even lower if I call? I know this is a good rate just curious

 

[gschmerl]

Entertainment rates are not always available. I haven't heard of anyone getting anything lower than $129 for quite a while. It's a great rate. Be happy.

 

[themepark]

That's a great rate! I don't think you will find anything any lower. Wish we had that rate for the week after Christmas!

 

[d4est]

I agree...very good rate...one I might consider killing for! JK

But really, considering most are paying $200/night or more for a room after the new year...be happy!

Wow...

Only way to get it cheaper for this time of year is to get the AP rate (which you already have) and stay for 3 nights & get the 4th free. That is what I am doing. I am paying $129 for one of my nights & $149 for the other 2 since they are a Fri & Sat. I get my 4th night free making it average to like $106 per night. In addition to that, pass holders can get free parking when checking into the resort as well. That is another savings of $24 for the 4 nights

What's that you say??. . . free parking at the resort with an AP ? - I'm a new AP holder and I thought it was only free parking in the parking garage -

A Mickeyfan, have you actually tried this yet? The resort parking just went up to $7 a night ! When the CM told me that at check-in I just remarked that it must have increased as I was told $6 when I made my reservation and when I got my bill I was only charged the $6. It just bugs me that they charge for parking at all !

cassie - that is the best RPR rate available lately.

You are right. The free parking with an AP is for the Universal Garage, not the hotels. The hotels charge for parking. It used to be $6 a night but has recently gone up. I'm not sure of the new price.

WOW! They're actually giving people a break for the holidays!

 

[cassie714]

Trust me I am not complaining. Just wanted to make sure i received the cheapest rate We payed $269 for club level at the portafino in July. That was our anniversary splurge trip. This is a last minute trip originally just to Disney, but I seem to keep adding LOL

 

[fiveforall]

i got a 119 ent rate for 12/19-12/23. I have a rate of 155 for 12/18. This is at Royal Pacific. I called several months ago and got this rate.

 

[Prince Eric1]

I don't think you'll stay any cheaper unless you sneak in the back and sleep in the laundry room. Thats a great rate for a holiday season.

I am an annual pas holder and have gotten charged $6 per day for parking both visits. One visit was in August, and one visit was about 2 1/2 weeks ago.

Of course the parking garage for the parks was free though.
