Meant to add 2 adults/2 kids (plus 2 yr old). Bummed there wasn't a bigger discount.

The final deal I decided to go with.

1/28-2/7
POFQ (standard room)
2 adults/2 disney adults
1 day base tickets (we already bought our tickets using UT)
ddp
$2900

(This will be our first time at a Mod. We have only ever stayed at Pop!)

We changed our dd9's age to 10 for the tickets and dining.

Hi,

Today I reserved the AKL standard view room for Jan 16-21. We have 5 day magic your Way Base Tix and the Dx Plus Dining. Two adults and two children (6&9). Does this price seem right : $3575.00

Thanks!

Yup - sounds right with AKL and the DX DP!

There is a RO offer for AKL savannah but it's only 5%. However, with the p/s/d we were able to save more.

We have the DDP though so the p/s/d may have saved us more with that plan? If you want to PM me I can give you our exact details if you want to compare.

We got the room only discount. We are 3 hours from the Mouse and we plan on getting FL resident seasonal passes, so the S/P/D wouldn't be right for us. Hopefully more discounts will be released before we leave.

POFQ gets no love with the discounts. Only 5%. Try pricing out POR or another mod and see what the savings will be.

Thank you for the suggestion!

We did Wilderness for 1/10 - 1/16.

Total price $3987.20 which includes standard view, 4 day hoppers, plus the plan with 1 TS, 1CS & 1 snak per day for 6 nights. About $2000 higher than room only w/discount, however, tickets alone would be $1250. So basically $750 for food for 6 days (probably breakfast in room). We could eat cheaper on our own, but this will make a different type of trip with more table service meals. Normally only do one.

More than I have ever spent on a Disney vacation. Ugh.

Oh - first gal was very helpful. Second guy didn't have a clue. Told me that all the packages were gone for Wilderness - only full price on packages. I was surprised as we were talking a very short gap in time there. Couldn't look on computer as I was at work. Did room only with him & then called back again. 3rd fellow was great again - said yes packages were available. Booked package - cancelled room only.

Did dining ressies tonight to cover the TS meals.

On hold for half and hour yesterday only to be told that the RO discount at POFQ is only 5% !!! I did not change our reservation though because we really want to stay here again. This was the very first resort we stayed at with our kids when they were little!! We have since stayed at POR, BC, BoardWalk, CB, and the Swan. But POFQ holds a special place in my heart and we really want to stay here again!!

Got a PIN e-mail yesterday afternoon after I booked. I called today to see if I could apply it since it was Free Dining, and turns out I had already applied it but when I called yesterday, the lady said it only applied to value resorts.

Jenna, my CM today, said that was true but she was able to look into it more so now we're at (2 adults) PORS for 10 nights, with 7-day base tickets, and free reg DDP and the total is 2550.80. Not bad for having our food, tickets, and lodging all covered under one bill when I have a food processor for a DBF (Disney is the only place where he ever eats enough to be full on a daily basis).

We upgraded from a water view to a river view on a magic your way plus dining trip to get a 1492.28 refund thru or TA.

[Twinkler]

We went the Room Only route (RO).

We're staying at a deluxe resort for 7 nights.

Going Q85 would have saved us $830
RO SAVED us: $1057.78!!

WHOOP!

Ask your CM to try both ways!

As I posted yesterday, when I called I was told there was nothing available at POFQ. I saw a mention of free dining today so I called again - no free dining pin code available for us. However, she looked and we could upgrade from a standard room at POFQ to a Riverview room at POFQ and save $330. Needless to say, come January, I'm going to be enjoying a view of the Sassagoula River from POFQ. So glad I called back!

I just booked P/S/D in a "preferred room" at POR for 1/26-1/30 for 3 adults (me, wife, exchange student) with 3 days in the parks for $1767. I also booked Sun Country Airlines for $593 ($98/person/each way). Exciting! Without the discount it would have been $2370, so we saved $603!

The P/S/D package made the cost very close to staying off-site, renting a car, and paying for food as we go, Disney may even be a little cheaper!
