A VERY Expensive stay

[mickeyfan1]

I was doing a little pricing at the Disney resort site - get this

12 nights AKL Pool view (8/8 - 8/20) is 3478.80
11 nights ALK Pool view (8/9 - 8/20) is 2440.90

An amazing $1037.90 difference. I wonder why

Does the value season kick in on the 9th?

Herc, maybe thats the answer! Or maybe the only room available on the 8th is the solid gold faucet room!

 

[hercamore]

Jeez, that STILL too many $$$ for that room.

When AKL first opened, I think I paid $169 for savannah view!

It sounds more like the price includes park passes.

I would go to a travel agent........and don't include airline tickets in your pricing. It seems it is always a little cheaper when I research on my own and then go to a travel agent to book. I know most around here choose to save money by booking on their own, but I just prefer the ease of letting the travel agent handle our payment. Do some research. Look for codes. Are you a dc member or AAA???
What was quoted is a very expensive price to pay. I'm pretty sure you can get it cheaper.
Oh, and the reason I said about the airline tickets, is our were about $200 cheaper than what was quoted when I checked on the wdw site.

Nope, Value season is July 4 - Oct. 1. So rack rate should be 260.00 plus 29.90 tax, 289.90 x 11 = 3,188.90. ~~

Well I just tried to get a quote on the same thing to see if the same two prices would come up for me, and it wouldn't even give quotes, saying that they are having problems with their reservation system, so there might have been a weird problem going on when it gave you the 11 night rate. You probably should have grabbed that one quick LOL, although when the codes come out for that time it'll probably be cheaper than that.
