Amazing - $20.01 per night at Courtyard in Downtown Disney!

[FoodLover]

I called the hotel to confirm that this deal is for real -- it is! The best price I've ever found for this hotel before is $89 a night -- it usually runs more like $149. This hotel is on Disney property and offers Early Entry and access to tickets for E-Ride night.

Very limited availability, but the reservations desk told me there were still rooms left at this rate.

Mary!!!

I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I have to budget all of our vacations and your generosity is most appreciated! If I didn't have to worry about tuition payments right now I would book a trip in a second flat! Thank you for all you do!

Thank you so much. I've taken advantage of this offer and $49 a night at ASMu. Thanks again.

[Pegg]

Anyone else transfering from the Music to the Courtyard August 12th? Then coming back the the Sports Thusday? Can't beat the either price. It saved me enough I added another night.

What is the best way to transfer? Probably by cab? anyone know about how much this will cost?

[Belle5]

Thanks you sooooo much, Mary! I just got 2 rooms for 3 nights in September! Bless you! This is a pay now no refund type deal FYI.

[Eno]

I got the 20.01 rate !!!!
Was staying at Port Orleans and a few days at the Polynesian as a treat. With the 20.00 rate I added a night to the Polynesian and cancelled Port Orleans. We are arriving on the Saturday and the rate doesn't kick in till Sunday so have to pay 89.00 for that night (more than I am paying for the other four !). What a savings... thanks to everyone who posted.

[sbbaer]

This deal is almost too good to be true! When I called they still had rooms available so I booked our rooms there instead of at Disney!

Thank you so much! I never would have found this deal, because I was looking for discounts at Poly or AKL!

[tink2dw]

Ya,but whats the DEAL with airfairs?? can't find a cheap one from NW????? need 3 as close to $200. as possible much over that makes it impossable to afford!! Can't drive takes wayyyyyyy to long!!

[Belle1962]

Pegg--if you don't have a lot luggage maybe you can just take the shuttle to Dowtown Disney or TTC and catch a bus to the All Stars from there (of course I wouldn't do this during the "morning rush").

DH stayed at the hotel several years ago. It is a Marriott original hotel. Meaning= many hotels that carry the Marriott logo were "originally" other properties that Marriott purchased and just threw their logo on. (yeah yeah they claim to "refurbish" them but not all of them are at the same standards as the Marriotts I've stayed at). This htel is eligible for early entry and e-night.

[singitalto]

We stayed here in May. I though it was a great hotel.(We got it throught priceline). The rooms are much bigger than All Stars. Let me know if you have any questions.

[VickiVM]

Just a couple of questions if anyone knows the answers...

1. Sept. 30 falls on a Sunday...does that mean that only that day is eligible for discount, or what about if you book beginning that Sunday through 10-3??

2. What are the charges for more than 2 adults in room??

Thanks.

[Pegg]

Singitalto or anyone else,

What are the laundry facilities like and how much? I did request a tower room. Is there free ice machines or do you have to pay for it?

What is the eating or restaurants offer and are they really expensive?

Okay one more question, Do they offer a refillable mug? if so how much?

[DreadpiratK]

We just booked this rate for Sept 9-13. The receptionist we spoke to said that it was actually a typo! They legally have to honor it anyway. Can't beat 2 rooms at $40 per night! Now I just need a room Saturday September 8.

With the timeshare week we got at auction on EBay, and this deal, we're getting 13 days in Disney for just over $500!!!:D :D :D AND we never have to share a hotel room with the kids!! (we love our kids but like our privacy) My wife said that with all the money we're saving we should stay the one night at the Swan or Dolphin! Probably cost more than the rest of the two weeks combined.


If I keep finding deals like this on these boards we may never come home!

One last thing: the receptionist told us that the Courtyard by Mariott is the same hotel that used to be the Howard Johnsons, wich is where my wife and I stayed on our Honeymoon 12 years ago. She said that she would put in a request for us to be in the same room again. How cool is that? We had no idea of this when we booked the room.

Great price, and some real romance as well!
;) :smooth:

[hmwnick]

Do these rates ever occur after Sept? I'd love to get a rate that low!!!!!

[jgates]

I was about 90% satisfied. That's pretty good with my fussy standards. We did have to be moved a few times because of non working a/c (95 degrees outside!). My fav rooms were in the wing (3rd floor I believe). They had a sink outside the b-room if I remember right which made it easier for more people to get ready quicker and also had a shelf above the clothing rod that was open so we could put the suitcases up there. The tower rooms didn't and we had to set them on the floor. I was a lot happier after we moved to the wing room.

[sbbaer]

I am not sure about the rate for 10/1 - 10/3.

We have 3 adults and 1 child going and there was no extra charge for the extra adult. The rate is for up to 5 people, but I think one person would have to be an infant, because of the bed space.

[jstmee]

Just spoke with reservation at Marriott and for some of these dates the $20.01 rate is running low. They were still open for 2 of the 4 nights I wanted and they gave me a rate of $59. + tax for the two other nights and $89 for subsequent nights. Have to be quick on the dial.

[kgkmom]

I also booked the $20/night at Courtyard! The dates were perfect. We're doing the $89 for one night, and the cheap rate the rest.

I got a cheap flight by watching Delta's website for a few weeks, and then booking directly online. It saved me about $35/person by booking online. I was able to get a direct flight at perfect times for me and my daughter for $150 ea.

It can be done! Thanks, Mary!!!

[singitalto]

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.

The ice is free, it is located on odd # floors. We were on the second floor, so it was a little pain-i would send my DH with the kids.The kids used it as an excuse to ride the glass elevator-they would go to the 11th floor for ice, they loved it!!!

We were only there for 4 nights-so I didn't use the laundry.

I didn't eat in the restaurant, we walked in and looked around(it looked nice) but ended up eating in the parks.
My husband would get coffee at the snack bar in the lobby. They had cereal and milk ($2) muffins($2) coffee?etc... They are only open in the morning till 11. They had tables you could sit at.

When we checked in we asked for a room facing DD in the tower. She gave us a room in the tower but on a lower floor(2nd) but overlooking the pool with a balcony. It was wonderful!! I was the first one up in the morning and I would walk outside on the balcony every morning. It was so nice!!


The hotel has very clean and the people were friendly.

[sharonga]

:) So excited. We are taking our 6 year old grandaughter to Disney July 30. First we booked Marriot, then changed to Disney All Star Music. Havent been to Disney since 1987!!
Was told that because of her age and the heat (which I hate) we are better off staying in the park.

Please, all advice is greatly appreciated. Also, check airline prices, any ideas?? What about hoppers?? I was thinking 4 days is more than enough.
Thanks

[Orky15]

Check out deals through Southwest Airlines. I heard something about a deal around $100 from seattle.

[Belle5]

Sharonga,
Welcome to the DIS!! We want you to get all your questions anwered so you can have a great trip with your granddaughter. You will find that you will get those questions answered if you start your own threads instead of tacking your questions onto someone else's thread. Also, make sure that you break up your questions into managable bites and post them on the correct boards. (Transportation, resorts, ect.) Good luck to you!:D

[mar3990]

I waited too long to call!! I checked for the three Sun to Wed stretches in Aug. and they only had availability on three of those days total and would only offer me $99. on the other days for any week I picked. Someone said this used to be a Howard Johnsons and someone else said an original Marrott. Does anyone know for sure because we stayed in some awful HoJo's. Congrats to all that got the great deal and keep those cheap deals coming!!

[DreadpiratK]

When we asked at booking the receptionist said that this is the same building that used to be Howard Johnson's. As I said we stayed there on our Honeymoon, and found it to be a very nice hotel. Of course, being a honeymoom, we weren't too focused on the details at the time. I think at the time it was billed as the 'flagship' of the HOJO's chain. Whomever took the reservation could have been mistaken, but the picture on the Mariott web site matches how I remember the hotel. I have no concernes about staying there again. It's got a 14 story atrium that is pretty nice, with glass elevators and everything. Nice, if somewhat plain pool and jacuzzi. I remember quite distinctly because we stayed on the 14th floor, and one morning, after going to King Henry's Feast and partakeing of too much complimentary ale, we had a fire drill. Walking down 14 flights of steps with a hangover is a very memorable experience! Probably the worst part of our stay there, and even then we found it to be pretty funny.
