I am obsessed with what I have saved since placing my ressie back in 8/02. Our trip is May 30 to June 7, 2003. I'd like to share it with all of you.
8/24/02
Booked 4 nights CBR with 15% off AAA discount: $543.00
Booked 4 nights Poly with 10% off AAA Discount: $1372.00
Total: $1915.00
Saved $249.00 off rack rate
2/17/03 changed ressie to Code AXA discount:
3 nights CBR with AXA = $348.00
5 nights Poly with AXA = $1416.00
Total: $1764.00
Now saved another $151.00 off last ressie and changed to one more night at deluxe (and still saved)
Now thinking - with great codes let's move entire trip up to MONORAIL resorts
2/18 changed ressie with code AXA
4 nights Cont. = $776.00
4 nights Poly = $1133.00
Total $1909. Now, have saved only $20.00 since original AAA discount, but NOW WE ARE AT DELUXE FOR ENTIRE TRIP.
Doing a happy dance.
3/15 New code came out..........(it's not on ressie)
4 nights Cont. = $731.00
4 nights Poly = $1088.00
Total: $1819. Saved $100.00 from original ressie. Doing ok
4/24 AP rates came out
4 nights Cont = $665.00
4 nights Poly = $888.00
Total $1553.00, add'l cost of AP $66.00, water park $26.00
Total savings from original ressie: $270.00
Here's the kicker: If I had booked these two resorts (Cont. and Poly at rack rates), it would have cost $2,698.00 vs. $1,553.00 that I am paying. An absolute ludicrous amount!!! And a difference of $1,145.00.
I am doing a happy, happy dance.
