2008 Rates

[bradleejones]

08 rates will probably be out early to mid aug. i don't expect the rates to change very much except weekends/weekday rates may be different.

I called this morning and was given a rate for Feb. 2008 for room only. I told her I didn't think that the rates were out yet. She told me room only rates are out but not packages or AAA. Is she correct? She quoted me a price for the room, but I am still wondering if that was a 2007 price?

You can book a room at 07 rates, price will change once the new rates are announced.

Arrgh! don't scare me like that. I've been checking probably as much as everyone else here and I thought I missed out on something. I know we keep hearing August, but I'm just thinking they'll magically appear before then, and august is the "safe time" for the CMs to tell people.

I called yesterday and July/August has now gone to "should be available August/September".. We will be able to make ADRS before we can reserve our package...

It does seem kinda backwards doesn't it?

Very!!!

Gosh dang it, I'm gonna go for it. I'm just going to go ahead and book a room at either POP or ASMO for next September, dang it!

I called on Thursday to ask a couple of questions and was told by a CM to expect package rates the middle of August. I then called yesterday to book my Room Only and that CM also said August and that he's telling everyone to start looking the end of July into the 1st couple weeks of August.

I can tell you for a fact that the CM was wrong on that one. The last two years, I was able to book our stays on August 15th.

Oh and by the way, I called Disney reservations on Monday and booked a ten day stay at the Wilderness Lodge. (of course, it was room only at 2007 rates) I asked for just a standard view room.

I asked if there was any way she could go back and see how much the rooms went up every year. She punched around in the computer and said that, in 2007, the rates went up $16.00 per night from those in 2006.

She also told me that the typical annual rate increase is 6%.

When I asked if she knew when the 2008 rates would be posted, she said she felt like it would be mid-August which would line up with the past two years.

Hope this helps somebody, Lisa

I called today too and booked a bunkbed room at WL for the last week of February, 2008. That's when our school vacation will be and with ds14 at the high school, there is no chance of taking any extra days off. With two growing boys, they really can't share.

Here's the kicker - the CM said that the one night deposit with tax came to $416 and change. To me, that seems to be ridiculous. My plan is to keep the ressies for the moment, look into offsite hotels and consider just getting adjoining rooms at AS or POP.

*sigh*

$416??? for one night? do they get gold lined chocolates on their pillows, bed turn down service and gold leafed hot chocolate before bedtime for that? lol

 

[schwaa]

$416 sound right. That's peak season and a woods view room with bunkbeds at WL for 2007 is $370 per night. With tax it's $416.25.

NHWX, two connecting rooms at a value would be $238 before tax.

Can one of your boys fit in the trundle bed at Port Orleans Riverside? That's only $185 plus tax in Peak Season 2007.

We plan on going to Disney World in February 2008...so I'm dying to be able to book my package! I want to be able to just pay it off completely before going! And we want to go for 10 days this year.

And I am not the most patient person

Hang tight everyone!

I guess I don't see what the big deal is. I have a trip booked for July of 2008 as well. And though I agree it's ridiculous that Disney hasn't released 2008 rates yet, it doesn't concern me in the least. I figure on about a 4% increase over 2007 rates. Simple enough.

I am figuring that, but I am worried about the prices being higher during holidays or weekends. I would like to know for sure, because I may change my resort or dates based on what those rates are.

 

[corie161]

It matters to me because even though I have a budget figure, but I really want this trip paid for in full before we go. Having a certain amount in my head may make a world of difference on the # of days we get to go as well has the actually arrival and departure dates. It's hard to book anything else unless you can nail down the right dates. That means airfare and ADR's.

 

[labattblue]

If I go ahead and book a 2008 stay at a moderate(leaning towards CSR) and then after the 2008 rates come out, I decide the increase was too much for my budget, am I able to take the deposit and apply it towards a reservation at one of the value resorts?

Thanks!
