Best place for rack rates? My 35% quotes were hundreds of dollars more than expected.

I would like to get some kind of idea of they are coming up w/ the price quotes I was given today. I would like the most reliable place for rack rates. they are roughly $400 more on most it looks than expected. I need to dive in more to see. That's just from a quick glance. Thanks

I believe Mousesavers.com has rack rates listed.
 
Thank you. If I use MouseSavers rack rates and I know they include tax. So I figure out the rate before tax and then do the math to get the new rate w/ 35% off and then add the tax back on it get different prices then what I should. Well I should say I get different ticket prices. I take the totals Disney gave me that included 7 day w/ the hoppers and the room. She said she can't separate b/c it's a package. So I take the total from Disney and the room total that I think it should be based on what MouseSavers has published and that gives me 3 vastly different ticket prices. So, either mouseovers rates aren't correct or they'r not taking 35% each room. I may need to call back.
 

Well then they didn't all increase. I was wondering that though. I could have been off on what I thought the tickets were but they all 3 should have been the same or very close b/c I didn't figure in weekend costs of room and change and such.
 
I wonder if "rack rates" increased since the closure?
That would be totally out of the norms for Disney. I can’t remember them changing a rate after the initial release of packages that wasn’t a mistake.

But then again we are in unusual times...
 
In recent years they have begun changing rates to coincide with demand.
Are you sure? I’ve done periodic comparisons and not seen that. They seem to prefer to manage with % off offers.
 
I would like to call back and see exactly whatever going on but they’re a mess right now. The 1st person I spoke w/ said there were no deluxe resorts to move me to. Kept trying to talk me into the Pop. Umm we have the WL booked and was hoping to move to Copper Creek.

When are you going? CCV, especially studios book up almost immediately by DVC owners...so there may not be many for cash guests right now.

I’m going in July. My concern is they don’t seem to be giving me a consistent 35% discount. If they were when I subtracted the room cost from the total they gave me the ticket price should be the same for all of them. 2 they basically are and the 3rd is quite different.

On another note I just figured out I could edit my thread title.

I ran into this same issue. We booked with the Free Dining Covid recovery offer that they then changed to the recovery 35% off offer. However, all I ever saw was a price drop in MDE under amt owed, and it didn't seem to be enough of a price drop to account for 35% off and removing dining. However, when I called the CM pretty much told me they can't break down what the room costs since it's a package, so apparently I'm just supposed to trust them that they took 35% off of the rack rate? She couldn't even tell me the exact price of the 7 day PH that we had on the package, because disney removed all prices from their site. I can't figure it out because tickets are now date based, and all of the prices I find at places like mousesavers give a large range based on when the tickets are for. I also can't just price out room only because they aren't booking any more reservations for 2020 now. So it appears that the end result was I have to take the new price they are showing me if I want to go, they can't show me a breakdown. It just bugs me that it still seems high - maybe it isn't, but I wanted to see how they got that number with my own eyes, not be told it's a package and they don't know, they just came up with it! We usually do RO, and this just adds to my opinion that I prefer RO bookings.

Quick! I think these are 2020 prices, scroll down https://www.wdwinfo.com/disney-world/ticket-prices.htm
 
Mouse savers for our RO reservations were spot on. to the penny. As of today. realize package v. ro but for two hotels the rate was spot on

Thanks, those must be. Why is this so complicated lol? I have to find the right ticket, multiply by the number of days, add the park hopping, and then add tax (which is 6.5%, is that right?). It's not that I can't handle that math, it's just that there is so much room for a little mistake and I want a total price staring me in the face haha!

Then for the hotel we're staying 9 nights, and if I'm reading mousesavers rates correctly there are 5 different rates because we cross over a season and there are 2 or 3 different rates depending on the night of the week. So I have to add them all up, take 35% off, and then add 6.5% tax if I'm correct.

then I took our total and subtracted what I got for the ticket price, and compared that to the 35% off rack rate and was actually pretty close. So I guess it is correct, which makes me feel better and also points our how darned expensive the AoA suites are! Darn twin B that we can't fit into a deluxe room anymore :P I think their total is more than the less expensive deluxe rooms.
 
think adding 6.5% to total is incorrect. My mousesavers calculation was spot on - add it all together subtract 35%. When we booked packages, I would figure out the resort like that then the tickets and add together to get a rough calculation. Never got it to the dollar but close.
 
The 2021 prices released today are insane. We are renting DVC, and I was checking to see if dining plan was available. Room and tickets at the Pop came out within $200 of what we are paying for our Boardwalk rental and tickets.

Hmm, when I added the tax it cam out pretty close, without the tax I was off a couple of hundred. I've been doing it on the fly on post it notes, I'll have to actually take the time to do it thoroughly and write the numbers down and get better organized so I don't make little mistakes. You're saying don't add tax to the mousesavers resort room rates on their site, just add the days up and then take 65% of that total for what my 35% off rate should be?
