If you're planning to be at WDW on marathon weekend and are interested in booking into a group block of rooms for slightly better rates, please post here. I've included the info on room blocks...they list 3 resorts as examples, but any resort can have the block or it can be divided among different resorts. Only 10 rooms are needed for a block! One person would need to be the contract person who would be responsible if anyone didn't pay.

DISNEY RESORT ACCOMMODATIONS

Rates quoted are for 2007 arrivals, and are based on Standard Category rooms. Accommodations and rates will vary according to actual travel dates, category and availability at the time of request.

We currently have availability for 15 rooms per night at the following resort for the dates of January 4- 9, 2007:

DISNEY'S ALL-STAR RESORTS - Giant icons from the world of Sports, Music and Movies pop-up everywhere

ROOM RATES $76.00 + 13% tax per room, per night.

Rooms accommodate a maximum of four (4) guests in two (2) double beds.

DISNEY'S CARIBBEAN BEACH, PORT ORLEANS AND CORONADO SPRINGS RESORTS - Island-style villages or classic Southern hospitality, or Architecture and culture of Mexico and the American Southwest, plus fantasy playgrounds & pools

ROOM RATES $126.00 + 11.5% tax per room, per night.

Rooms accommodate a maximum of four (4) guests in two (2) double beds.

DISNEY'S WILDERNESS LODGE - Luxurious reflection of the famous National Park lodges of America’s Northwest

ROOM RATES $194.00 + 11.5% tax per room, per night.

Rooms accommodate a maximum of four (4) guests in two (2) queen beds.


DISNEY GROUP BOOKING GUIDELINES

· Group Requirement - A group consists of Ten (10) rooms or more on at least one night of the stay at a Disney Resort to be considered a Disney Group.

· Room Rates - Rates will vary depending on travel dates, resort requested and group room availability.

· Deposit for Call-In group - For group reservations, we require a signed contract and credit card guarantee for deposit to be received by us within seven (7) days of the contract date. Then you will be given the phone number for our Group Reservations department, which you can forward to your guests to call-in their individual reservations. Each guest is responsible for the deposit amount equal to one (1) night room and tax for each room requested which is due at the time of booking.

· Full Cancellation - Up until forty-five (45) days prior to arrival you may cancel your entire group without charge. After this date, the group will be subject to a cancellation fee equal to ninety percent (90%) of the total rooms in the room block, multiplied by the nightly room rate for the rooms (plus taxes) for each of the unused room nights that are not resold.

· Partial Cancellation and Attrition - Up until forty-five (45) days prior to arrival, the group may drop individual room nights from the original room block without penalty, provided that the group keeps at least ten (10) rooms on at least one (1) night. After this date, the group will be subject to an attrition charge equal to ninety percent (90%) of the nightly room rate, plus taxes, for each of the unused room nights that are dropped and not resold.

Disney will attempt to resell any room nights released by you by placing them back into Disney’s unsold inventory of room nights. We will attempt to sell them after all other available rooms are sold, and the group will be charged only for the unsold room nights.
 
Hi Mel:

Thanks for looking into this. I might be interested in group rates for a room. I haven't decided weather I'm staying on site or off site. I have a voucher for a 4 night stay at a condo at the Sheraton Vistana Villages on I-drive. I thought we could stay there, and then maybe my DW and I could stay at the Wilderness Lodge the night before the race so we're close. Then I could go to the race, and my SIL could bring the princesses over to WL to meet my DW. However, the more I think about it the more I think it would be really fun to stay on site the whole time thought. It might be tricky having 3 adults and 2 kids though.
 
Mel: Could we also have a thread for the "Magical Gatherings" options? I remember there were some fun things that I thought we could do for our team. Maybe have the dessert party after the race?
 

Maybe we need a poll with options? I know my problem is that we're in and out for the weekend so don't have much time for gatherings. Those of you staying longer would certainly be able to put together something cool!
 
Hi Mel,

Thanks for doing this! Surely we should be able to get 10 rooms booked for the discount rate?? :confused3

Everyone puts down their deposit on their own credit card, but if only 9 rooms end up to be booked, the contact person would be responsible? Correct?

I assumed the people staying at DVC are not included correct?

Correct on both counts!
 
So if you only 'speak' online through smilies, does that make you a DISboards mime? :confused3
 
I think I would definetly be interested...could we maybe get POP??? Also dows it have to be 10 rooms in the same hotel, or just a total of 10 rooms???
 
They dont have the rates posted yet, but we booked thru Anthony Travel for the Minnie & they are handling the marathon too. We got a great rate of $114 for POR with them and that was during regular season so maybe they will have even better rates for the marathon since it is during value season . They usually have 3 choices of hotels. I dont know how soon they will post their rates though.

From what I remember from last year, the group rates are the same as AAA rates I got for POP & WL .

Any hotel with availability and we can split the block among any hotels, just as long as there's 10 total rooms.

Thanks Tiff! Do you have contact info for Anthony Travel?
