The rack rates are astonishing, especially since I usually book according to discounts and haven’t paid rack rate for a room since 2008. I hate paying that much, but I’m also viewing it as an opportunity to stay places I usually wouldn’t.
For instance, the Polynesian is my all-time favorite resort, but I haven’t stayed there since 2017 because they stopped discounting as much. It’s hard to justify the price differential vs. 30-35% off the Boardwalk, which I also love. But at rack rates, it’s worth it to me to pay a little bit extra for the Poly. I also have a BWV studio booked for a short solo trip, when I otherwise would have booked AKL with it’s usual AP discount.
How’s that for Disney Math?
