AP discounts up to 35% out 10/2 thru 12/25 today 😀

[hhhisthegame]

I'm confused how they calculate this. It said up to 35% for AKL but ours showed 10% for AP and 15% for Disney+. How do you get the 35%? Or is it just standard rooms or something that have those and savannah studios have less?

It's the "up to" - key wording. It may be 35% on some dates, or as low as 10-15% for some days, or no discount at all. A lot of Fri/Sat nights are not eligible and the discount can vary each night. And yes, can also be dependent on room type.

SWEET! Booked the Yacht Club during Food & Wine --- a bucket list item!

Yeah, we had no discount on Friday-Saturday but I knew that wouldn't be eligible. I was just wondering about the AP discount only being 10% for the other days (the 25th through 31st of October). And surprised to see that Disney Plus gave more than AP. Do they have some greater discounts that then sell out? Or is it just "Up to" because maybe its 35% for one day on one room type, and then mostly 10% for the rest?

Exactly! Kind of sneaky, but it's better than no discount, enjoy your trip!

Are you signed in to your MDE account and with your specific date range input?

I was, but it wasn't showing anything besides the "check availability" link for every hotel until I clicked into them and then showed prices. After I added an offer to the compare vacation offers page it started showing the prices again. Weird.

Almost all of the rack rates are astronomical from Dec 15 to Jan 3.


The price difference between CBR and POR isn’t much and I’d imagine CBR more popular with the skyliner.

35% off POR makes it much more attractive by comparison!

Quick view for these.

And these rates are probably why their rooms have not been booked. Unreal!!!

I did not get a discount for Friday and Saturday but received 35% for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday at the YC for late October with Disney Plus

I had booked rack rate at the FW Cabins for the week after Thanksgiving and saved $1,027.72 with the AP rate (D+ was the same rate for my dates) so I'm pretty jazzed for this! I was thinking of canceling but this makes it much more manageable!

Can't wait to go to both Christmas parties now!

That's great! And that is where the "up to" comes in. You saved the 35% on some nights, but if you average it out, it's about a 21% discount for all 5 nights. Nice for the YC!

That's Christmas and New years. I think they will be booked.

Yeah, I was booked for early October and saved approx $700 on my trip but Friday and Saturday stayed at rack. I just used the GP room only that came out.

What I am saying is they haven't been booked yet. The reason for the discounts.

Agree. I was browsing to do a potential Dec short trip and was like “woah, and that’s 35-40% off?!” I think Disney got too aggressive in its price raises.

I booked weekday CSR at 35% off for early mid- Sept & early mid- Dec and the Dec rate is 20% higher, not sure I’ll keep it. I was considering 40% off at a deluxe but once I saw the prices that was a nope. I can’t fathom those post 12/15 rates

They will now with these discounts. All these discounts tell me they are having issues filling bookings. You rarely see these type of discounts for the holidays.

Right. And with the prices continuing to rise in the future, 35% off a $1,000 room at CSR will not mean much.

This was a good deal and pretty typical. Plus they used to do the bounceback offers all the time. I think their strategy has always been high rack rates, see what fills, discount the leftovers.

I too found they are not discounting Friday or Saturday nights with the 25% for everyone OR the Disney+ discount either. PLUS, I could not get a discount at The Contemporary, no matter what dates I used. Bummer! I switched to the Beach Club and saved $1200 over the Contemporary, never had stayed here, hope it's great! This is for Oct. 22 - 28th.
