did disney increase their prices? I booked the first day FD was offer to everyone. Got 8 nights to Pop Century with 6 day regular park tickets. Cost was around 1600. I was thinking on adding another day and for one more day with still just 6 tickets it came to over 2000. WOW! BIG DIFFERENCED FOR ONE DAY,. so i put in my original dates and tickets just to see if the cost was the same as my one that i booked and it came to over 1800.

Does anyone know if the prices were increased?

I was actually wondering the same thing. After my TA booked FD for me, I went on the web site and started to book the same dates and tix, just to see if it came out the same...which it did. I then ran the numbers to add just an extra day of hotel and it came out to almost $200 more.

Doesn't make sense to me. There shouldn't be anything extra but another day of hotel stay.

I'm going to run he numbers again today and see what I come up with.

When I play on the site and change one of the option it seems to add things like hoppers or preferred rooms back on my ressie. That would account for $200 I'd think.

Just for kicks, I started two new reservations. One just like I currently have and one adding an extra day. By adding only a day to my package, it adds $109.61 to the package price. Seems like it should be cheaper if all I'm adding is another day at the hotel. If free dining is truly free, then that shouldn't account for the extra cost. And if a room can hold up to four people, and there's only two of us, that shouldn't account for the extra cost either.

Trip dates: 9/3-9/8 (current res) - Cost for 6 days, 5 nights at ASMu w/preferred room, free dining, 4-day park hopper (no waterparks):
$1,123.33 (no insurance included...yet)

Trip dates: 9/3-9/9 - Cost for 7 days, 6 nights at ASMu w/preferred room, free dining, 4-day park hopper (no waterparks):
$1,232.94 (no insurance included)

Difference: $109.61

Any thoughts?

The cost of a value preferred room per night in the cheap season is $109.61 ($97 plus tax) . I just ran it without tickets and buying just one night's hotel.

Room prices are based on having just 2 adults in the room. I think it is $10 per extra adult, so if you had 4 (or kids old enough to need adult tickets) you'd have to pay more than 2 adults taking a baby.

Are you trying to reduce the cost of your trip or just figure out the prices? If you drop the hoppers and preferred room you'd save a bit. We are doing 14 nights in ASMovies for $1910 in a regular room, 2 adults, one baby.

Silly me. I totally forgot that a preferred room was higher. That definitely explains the difference.

I was just curious to know how much it would be to add one more night.

Thanks!

i don't understand that one at all.


my package dropped in price by $51.98

last year i booked the bounce back package for this coming sept / oct trip.

i was looking over all the posts here this week and realized that there was a price difference.

i called and they looked at my reservation compared to this years promo to the general public.

they issued me a credit of $51.98 as the promo is cheaper than the bounce back package.

Now the fun of the 90 day ADR!!!

HAHA----NOT looking foward to this at all...I actually got used to the 180 day ADRs and didn't mind it at all...Seems like a time cruch to me with the 90 day. ODD huh? 3 months prior and I freak out! LMAO!

I'll second both comments. From what I've heard here on the DISboards and DISboards podcasts, the whole process has become a nightmare!

Ever since WDW changed to the new ADR computer program, I've heard nothing but BAD things. I just hope they have all of the bugs worked out before their whole system gets swamped with Free Dining ADR's!

I am excited with my deal!
I had originally booked:
2 Rooms at the Contemporary Tower MKV for Sept. 28-Oct.4
5 adults, 4 children
7 day park hopper w/water parks
Free dining
Room #1 $4655.01
Room#2 $4436.03

I thought this was great, but then I found:
BLT 2BR MKV
5 adults, 4 children
7 day park hopper w/water parks
Free dining
Total $8078.54

So I booked BLT and saved $1012.50!

 

[kris-co]

Is there somewhere where all of these shortened versions of hotels, etc.. are listed - like a reference for us who have no clue

For example, what is BLT 2BR MKV?

Thanks!!

We originally had for out trip:

November 4 - November 17, 13 nights
POFQ, standard room
10 day MYW with PH option
DDXP
Travel Insurance

Total = $5105.64

Now:

September 16 - September 29, 13 nights
POFQ, standard room
10 MYW with PH option
DDXP
Travel Insurance

Total = $3758.84
Total Savings = $1346.80

So even though I have to go in September instead of November which I prefer, the savings of over $1300 made the deal impossible to pass up.
