2) Concierge not elible for DC Discount
3) Was quoted $1000 more than AAA rate

What gives here? If poly lagoon concierge gets a 15% discount, why not for AKL?

Thank god these were 800 numbers

If a better rate for Jan. comes out how hard would it be to change ressie to new code? Will the deposit be transferred?

Anyone know what "perk" they are offering if any? They usually don't do just a room only rate.

lizzie call back about the AKL concierge because I was just told it IS covered under the discounts.


tmli~~The deposit cannot be transfered over to CRO should a better AP code or Resident code come out if you paid by credit card. It can be transferred over if you pay by check.

If a better code comes out later on you can call the DC number and they will and can book CRO codes IF they are available. What happens is they book the new room and cancel your ressie through them. You would then be under the CRO rules about payment, deposit etc..... If you paid your DC deposit by credit card they would credit your credit card and you would need to put down a deposit of one nights stay with the rest due on arrival.

The only perk they have with the room only is admission to either Wide World of Sports or a game of Mini Golf that comes with the room only ressie.

Is the mini golf only good for one person or everyone in the room? Both courses???
By the way, which course is better?

Skuttle, do you have AAA? The rates being quoted for next summer are almost the same (only off by a few cents). At least that was the case when I called for next June and July.

I also was able to get a quote for AKL concierge. $1203.84 during the Fourth of July (3 nights). This is the only room type which was not available during the same time frame using AAA.

Hi,

I called today to check prices on Coronado Springs(CSR) for Feb 1st through the 6th of 2003. We have been staying at deluxe resorts since 1998 but I have decided to apply to Law School so we need to budget this trip. So I called and asked about room only AAA rates for Feb 1st through the 6th of 2003 and was quoted a rate of $106.40 withough tax * 11% = $118.10 a night inc tax. For a total of $590.50 for the five nights tax included.

This is 25% off of the Rack Rate of $133 plux tax a night and because I booked with the AAA rate I get the 5 day cancelllation policy and only had to put down a one night deposit.

Hope this information helps someone out. I am now hoping that AP or code rates will come out soon with even a better rate but I don't want to be greedy

Happy discount hunting to all!

I was hoping to get the 15% disc. with DC for our Jan. trip. Just my luck though the BCV are not included in the discounted rates. CM said there is a chance later on they will be added in a few months, but not now. She was able to give me a different cancellation policy that has final payment due 21 days before vacation as opposed to 45 days. She said this was something that just came out today. I'm hoping an AP rate will come out. If not, we'll be adjusting our plans.

Just got off of the phone with DC with a request for GF Jan25-30 only to be told that there were no discounts available for that period. Anyone else get this? Did I just get an uninformed CM?

Polynesian GV concierge; June 14-21, 2003 = $439.36 (major ouch) p/night, room only. LV rate quoted at $440 + tax.

I was given the third degree, name, zip code, how many times staying at WDW in the past, date of last stay, how many days in the Orlando area during next visit. . .all this before I could even get a quote!

I booked the rate although our plans aren't firm yet, but I wanted to be sure to get a discount (no matter how minimal). I'll be keeping my eyes open for codes and AP rates in hopes of lowering that rate! This year we went from a code rate (booked in January) to an AP rate (changed in April).

I'm sure I'll be able to do better down the road--fingers crossed anyway!
