I just talked to a Disney Rep. She says they are not out today despite the look on the Web site....BUT she did say we'd be VERY HAPPY with the 2008 package rates!!

Yay!

I heard from an extremely reliable Disboard source that the rates will be 'officially' up August 6th.

I've just checked rates for MODS 2008 and they are:
$149.00--$240.00.
Not to Bad--was expecting Worse.
We always go during Value Season.

Where is everyone seeing these price? Link pleeeease

The 2008 rates have not been released yet. You can be sure that the DIS will post them as soon as they have been released and confirmed.

No need for the sarcasm. The original title just had our hopes up is all.

I just tried something. We are going Jan 1-7th. I tried backing it up a day on the DIS site for Dec 31-Jan7 (adding one more day) and got some interesting results. My total quote was $2271.00 (that is 7 nights at Pop, no prefered, dinning plan, 6 day base tickets, no insurance)

According to my math (based on 2007 figures) is should have been less.

POP, no prefered room, 7 nights. One night at $129.00 and the other 6 at $82. (rack rates per seasonal schedule) Total room cost $621.

Dinning plan 2 adults, 1 child should be 38.99+38.99+10.99 or 88.97 per day and $622.79 for the 7 nights.

6 day base tickets = $587.00

Add 621.00+622.79+587.00=1830.79 X 1.06 (tax) = $1940.63

I wonder what the extra $330.37 is for?

Ok I can account for you $330.37 (more or less - it doesn't add up but I didn't do the full out math for you). All 7 nights have to be charged at $129 per night according to the current booking rules. Also the tax on the room portion of your package is 12.5%.

Where are you all seeing rates on the website for 2008? I am not getting rates unless I check in 12/31 and then they are not actual rates. I am trying to find out if the rumor of holiday rate for 01/01, 01/02, 01/03 and 01/04 is correct.

I think everyone is looking at the rate range to figure the increase out. The Boardwalk (where I am staying) range is going from 325.00 to 695.00, depending on the type of room. It doesn't look like a huge increase. I think I may have read Disney's site wrong earlier. I assumed when you put in your dates that the range of prices would be for that season. But the more I played around with it( I put in all sorts of dates) the price range didn't change for any season. I have heard about Holiday rates being in the beginning of January, but that seemed to change with CM's. Every CM had something different to say. So now, we will still have to wait.

What sarcasm? I understand completely. I didn't know how to edit my post until someone told me. I then editied it. "Better now?" was asking if my edit was good enough as to not mislead anyone.

You are o.k. shasta! Everyone jumps the gun a little. We must all be careful with new rate exclamations as there are many heated debates as to what disney is going to do in 2008 with regards to rooms and the DDP.

And......we all want to know NOW, or at least i do.

Thank you. I appreciate that. I have been around forums for many, many years. As a matter of fact, I am a freelance writer and homebrewer and actualy wrote a full feature article in a nationaly published brewing magazine regarding homebrewing forums and how they have helped people learn to brew who may be in rural areas where homebrewers are few and far between.

My point is, I learned long ago that in text only posting, without voice inflection, tone, etc. that allow a person to judge the persons intent, misunderstandings are sure to arise.

Mermaid_Ariel may have an answer to some future question I ask. I certainly don't want to dissuade her or anyone from helping me.
