Backup plans

OK, so I just bit the bullet and reserved a Deluxe Alcove room at the Dolphin. With the teacher's discount, it cost a grand total of $268.88 per night (including taxes and fees.) Compare that wtih the Beach Club ($370 weekdays, $400 weekends) or even All Star Music family suites ($295/$345) The Deluxe Alcove sleeps 6, so no one is on a rollaway or a cot.

It cost a single night's deposit, and is fully refundable up until 5 days before we leave.

I would LOVE a nice 40% Pin code so we could keep our Beach Club reservations. But if it doesn't happen, I've just saved us a good $750. Take out the cost of transportation and I'm still ahead $600.

Now throw in the difference between regular park tickets and YES tickets, and that's another $600+ saved.

So I save us over $1200, and we're still staying at a Deluxe resort an easy walk from Epcot.

I think I'll be very glad I did this.

Though the other resorts do offer AAA/CAA discounts.

Interesting....whenever we go back...I must check into such a discount...it expires before our trip this time...but good to know I should look into such a thing in the future.

I'm not sure what you mean about it expiring. If you call, they'll be happy to give you the discounted rate for 2011 or 2012. The website just doesn't list it for some reason.

It might be worth the phone call...
