Date and Rate ...............2009

[patster734]

5 nights, June 23-28, RPR, standard 2 Q room, supersaver rate, 762.40 w/o tax, 857.70 w/tax

I've added your date and rate.

Wow! I so wish I watched the Superbowl. We spent that weekend in Orlando hoping it wouldn't be too crowded. Couldn't pass up the cheap airfare price we got.
Sounds like we missed out on free tix and great hotel rates. We have APs but my SIL and nephew will be coming with us in Aug. and I would love to have been able to help her out.
oh well, you win some; you lose some.
With my luck I'll sit clueless thru next Superbowl and they won't offer a thing.

You're not alone. I actually did fill out the Superbowl website, but I must have been too late to receive the voucher. My trip is occuring from October 7 to the 11 which overlaps the Super Saver rate cut-off date, so I had to book with the AAA rate. That rate is not as good as the Superbowl/Super Saver rate but its better than rack rates. I had hope to receive a voucher too but I've become doubtful that I will.

I've booked the Super Saver rate at $147 before tax at the Royal Pacfic Resort for July 26th - 31st. I checked under the Super Bowl code and the rates were the same. There were no room upgrades available at similar pricing at the other on-site resorts.

I've added your date and rate. As far as I can tell the only difference between the Super Saver rate and the Superbowl rate is that the Super Saver rate is good up til October 8, while the Superbowl rate is good for the entire year. The room upgrades are dependent upon Loews' YouFirst level that you have.

I called again about our May weekend (5-30 and 5-31) at the RPR. Still, $279 a night is the cheapest, all 3 hotels are sold out!!!! Some kind of convention going on. I had to book Fri and Sat at the time of booking, but I only need the Sat night, so I am calling about 3 weeks in advance and canceling my Friday, hopefully without a hassle. Hard to believe I'm paying that much, oh well....

Asked about my week in October at the HRH (10-24 to 11-1), and there are no APH or super saver rates yet, but I think the APH rate for our OCt 08 stay didn't come out until July of 08, so I'll keep calling. I've had great luck with airline rates this year, not so much with onsite rates

I'm really hoping that the Super Saver rate gets extended through all of October. The Super Saver rate is YouFirst compatible while the APH rate is not. I take it that you didn't get in on the SuperBowl rate? I didn't either.

No, I didn't do the Superbowl thing, wish now that I would have, but was thinking, "I have an AP, why should I bother?" never thinking it could save me on the hotels..........
But I'll keep checking, maybe they'll give me a cheaper rate so I'll stop calling

I really want to be at HHN for the last night (which, from everything I've read so far, is Halloween night) but as far as I know that is not "official" yet. In order to do that we will have to stay at the HRH for 8 nights! (Already have our Timeshare booked for 10-17 to 10-24, it's Westgate Palace, right by the parks) Time to stat selling some stuff on eBay and playing the lottery

I just checked my email from last year. We didn't get the good APH rates for the last week of Oct at HRH until the end of July!!! Those rates were way cheaper than what they are now. We paid $219 for the weekend and $174 for weekdays, that was better than the Super Saver rates at the time. So I hope they do the same thing this year!!??!!

Change that to RPR, June 24-June 26, 335 for 2 nights, incl tax with the AP rate. Decided to do the next two nights in Clearwater instead!

Ok. I just mailed you a $100 change fee!

Just kidding! I've updated your info with the new dates and rate.

After seeing a response to the "single night availability at RPR" thread, that they had single nights now available for my weekend (May 30th and 31st) I called, and changed my booking to just Sat the 30th, and asked about any rate changes, and low and behold the AP rate was now available, and now we are at the RPR for only $169 for Sat the 30th, instead of the original price of $269! Awesome!!!!!

Oh, don't you love those APH rates?! I think our 4 APs paid for themselves just in hotel discounts. I'm waiting for AP rates to come out for Labor Day weekend at HRH. So hard to wait....

Great news! I've updated your info with the new data.

I've also made a change to my October stay. We now have 6 in our party, so instead of getting 2 rooms a RPR, we got a 1 bedroom suite at PBH for $530.40 at the AAA rate. I'm now praying that cheaper AP rates get released so that I can replace my AAA rate with a better rate!
Atleast all 6 of us will be together instead of in seperate rooms.

we are booked for:
August 6-11
RPR 40% SS rate ( I think )
152 P nite and change...total $857.70 ( $75 in parking, grand total 932)

however, if money is tight will be staying at the Hyatt for $475, no FOL, but better than no trip at all!

 

[n2mm]

Booked HRH for August 15th (1 night) 2 rooms. APH rate of $189 per room ($213 after taxes). (Higher rate because it's a Saturday night.) This gives us 2 days at USF w/express passes before moving to the BCV for the week.

 

[jetfan]

made a ressie using the stay 4 play more package so I get 2 2park unlimited admission tickets. standard room 2 queens. $259 a night average rate. $1165.50 total tax included. AAA discount was available without tickets for $211.65 a night weds & thursday $228.65 a night Friday & Saturday night. Not an AP holder so didn't ask about those rates for these dates. AAA rate only available when I called over phone (unavailable when tried online).

I guess I have to update mine yet again. I'm goign to be using the Super Hero/Superbowl rate. Same hotel and dates, the price is just going to be about $149 and some change, I forget what the weekend rate is. Or its $139 and the weekend is $149. Something like that, lol.
