So I asked for a quote from my travel agent about a month, or so, ago.
I wanted a week in late January preferably at Pop Century, standard room (2 adults). I knew going in that the trip would be from Friday to Friday as these are the days that the charter leaves from Winnipeg direct to Orlando over the winter.
So that being said I would be paying for 2 weekend rates (Friday, Saturday) and 5 weekday rates for the room (Sun. Through Thursday).
He came back with a quote for:
Disneys All Star Music Resort (for Jan 20th to the 27th 2012)
Room category: Preferred Room
Price per person: 659 + 294(taxes) = 953.00
This pricing includes airfare, hotel and taxes for 2 adults = $1906.00
So total for me and my wife (minus Park Passes and Dining) would be roughly $1906.00
I then asked if Pop wasnt avail. which he said it was. So I then asked for a quote for what I initially asked for above. He came back with:
Disneys Pop Century (for Jan 20th to the 27th 2012)
Standard room
Price per person including airfare, hotel and taxes = $1033.00
Total for the both of us = $2067.00
So heres my issue....Why am I paying over a hundred dollars extra for a standard room as opposed to a preferred at a resort that only charges 12.5% tax as apposed to 13.5% for the All-Stars? (You save 1% at Pop because it is in a different county)
(2011 rack rates for All Star Music/ Preferred Weekend=107.00 (Fri-Sat) and 97.00 (Sun through Thurs.)***2011 Rack rates for Pop Standard WkEd $92.00 Sun-Thurs $ 82.00.
Maybe Ive overlooked something but Id like to know what the experts think before I bring it to my agents attention.
