good thing i booked in the morning prices have went up over 1,000 dollars
From whatg I can tell... for a quad with a 4 and 7 child... my price is the same as someone else (forgive me for not recalling the screen name of that informative DIS mate) who posted that they got theirs at about 5:40AM california time. SO as far as I can figure - I got the same and the prices on quad cat 9s did not change from 5:40 through 6:20. I hope my facts are not misquoted - I am actually a little tired from lack of sleep.
AND my point...
1) is that from 5:20 - 6:30 - 7:20 the price was $6797 and I was very fortunate to get this price - I think.
2) at 7:40 the price jumped to $8397
3) at 6:15 the price edged up to $8797
4) at 9:20 the price DROPPED to $7197 <this is NOT a mistake>
5) at 11:15 the price jumped to $8797
6) from 12:30 - 1:11 the price is still $8797
At this point I have saved $2000 against the current price - not accounting for OBD of 10% (est. $600) and the OBC ($200) and the TA spiff ($150). In effect... my net price should come in around $5,847 after adjustment for cabin credits and the 10%.
So... if this seems like me tootin' my horn... it's not all thay for our expanded family of guests. The 2 other families who were going to book failed to book... and now their price to join us is that much higher now.
Oh well, I should be happy we have 4 families booked to join us in our little group - but I would have been happier if the other two families had heeded my encouragement to committ. They would have prices that are collectively $3500 less in catagory 9s.
SO there it is. You win some, and otherwise lose a bit on some too.
