OMG this is so me !!! I told my husband, trying to get a discount is like a part time job..... I go out every day and play around with vacations, or looking up dining , all in the hopes.... but I'm with you, I'm not feeling totally confident about a discount this time. At least in the past, you kind of knew some kind of package discount would come out.
Zero for two with me. The type of rooms we had booked did not qualify for a discount and we didn't want another room type or a different resort. It can be a darned if you do and darned if you don't situation. If you book the room you want in advance and others do the same in hopes of a future discount to apply (depending on the resort and number of rooms), Disney looks and sees those rooms are already selling well, so no need for a discount. If you wait and don't book, then sometimes the rooms sell out quickly and you chance not getting what you want. Or, you book and the discount is only for a different view or location so you have to pay more to save or get a less desirable room. I think the people who have the most success with getting a discount applied retroactively are booked at values or moderates, where there are so many rooms. Maybe this year it will be different because all the resorts will finally be open. Fingers crossed!
We rented DVC points for AKL for that Mon-Friday. We are hoping for some discounts at Caribbean Beach for the Weekends before and after. Here is hoping! See you at the parks!Following~
Anxiously awaiting for Sept 16-24th.
Goal is for Port Orleans, but I can’t bring myself to pay rack rate.
Crossing my fingers hard for a discount here (and kicking myself for not renting points earlier).
