Nope. You can book pre-nights (and post-nights) at most of the hotels through ABD, but I've never seen them at reduced rates. In fact, most times, it is EXTREMELY more costly than if you booked it yourself. The rate does include transfers from the airport (if you book pre- or post-days on your own, then you're on your own for transportation) and breakfast. But you have to evaluate each time based on what ABD quotes for a pre-day as to whether it's worth it or not.We are arriving a few nights before our adventure begins.
Does Disney have reduced rates for the hotels before the first day of the adventure?
Well, that's good to know! I'm looking at taking the China trip next year...I booked one pre-night through ABD for the China trip I'm taking in September. It was actually less expensive than booking through the hotel's own website (though not inexpensive). I wanted the convenience of staying in the same room, the included transfers, and the hotel looked fantastic.
If you book your pre-days through ABD, then the transfers are still included. If you book them on your own, then the transfers aren't included.I am looking into the China trip, but will want to arrive a couple days earlier. It looks like the Rosewood is the first hotel.
I thought transfers were only included if you arrive the day of the adventure?
