Date and Rate 2010......

[Nicole786]

Ok I just checked online and the rate isn't available for the dates we want (August 20th-22nd) Not sure if they ever will be or they just haven't updated the site, but looks like the weekend before which was previously discounted is now more expensive

Thanks for updating. It's so helpful to have all of the info organized in one place!

It looks like I confused you with ours, though, because we ended up making changes. Our latest reservation is for:

Dec 19 - Dec 24
adjoining standard garden view rooms (1 king and 1 queen)
$219.20/night each room - AAA rate

Thanks again!

I called this morning and inquired about FL resident rates, she said that she wasn't showing it for my time frame so theres still hope that a rate will come out thats better! (she said check back in a month) I upgraded to Pool View because it was the same price for Garden I was paying now--we'll see if I have to switch back once rates come out! So we have:

August 20-22nd HRH Pool View - $224 FL Resident

just wondering? any americans who booked last fall with the uk rate glitch gone on vacation yet? if so any issues? 6 weeks and counting to our 1st trip to the dark side and everyone is excited...

Damo...you just fixed the list and I here I am to mess it up! We are canceling our trip in October. DH and I decided that when Disney came out with the Free Dining this year the cost of the trip to Disney was $400 less than our trip to US/IOA. I am so sad...BUT we will be back. Now I have to cancel our hotel reservations and sell our tickets on ebay. No Harry Potter for us this year.

I do not believe so. Though I do know they are honoring the rates. I called the hotel reservation desk to confirm the reservation and upon them opening it up it changed the rate automatically. After some research the online reservation desk called me back and told me that they changed the rate back, to the 'glitch' rate. She told me they were aware that the system was providing a discount regardless of the number of nights booked but were honoring the reservations.

We thought about that. But since we dont know when we will go again or what sort of vacation packages they will offer in the future we just decided to sell them. I put them on ebay this morning and they sold in 15 minutes. I bought the old 7 day 2 park passes for $396 at AAA and sold them for $575. So that will go towards our Disney vacation this year. I know we will be sad not going to Universal but in the end...$400 is a lot of money to save.

I agree. There is no way to tell if the tickets have been used or not. However, you just saved someone money because if they went to buy 4, 7 day tickets now, they would be costing close to $700.

not sure which page I posted our ressie,but I'm having to cancel. We thought we'd have enough days to go,along with our 1 day at Disney,but now we don't, it was sprung on us over the weekend that our nephew will be getting married on the 12 of June, so we have to cut our mini vacation down to 2 days, so I guess we'll use our Hero Salute to Busch Gardens instead.
When we go to Universal I want enough time to enjoy it, so we'll just push this little adventure back some to next spring, maybe it'll give time for the Harry Potter to calm a bit, though I'm sad we can't go yet, I know we'll still have fun together and look forward to going in 2011.
Take care everyone and thanks to all who answered my questions the past few months!

Yeah...I am sure that happens. I have sold a ton of things on EBAY and I have a 100% rating. Plus he used PAYPAL which insures his purchase. I think all those things combined he felt comfortable. I personally would never do it because I am too skiddish about that stuff.

unless paypal has changed their guarantee, it isn't automatic & is fee based. Must be added on by the buyer & only covers purchases for 45 days, up to $1K, from qualified sellers. (something i had a renter point out to me during a DVC transaction.) From what i understand CC transactions may have different coverage based upon the individual card used

anyway, my response to the buyer: it's a matter of trust, which was the trade-off for getting the reservation at such a sharp discount

the same as buying tix from 3rd party imo; while nobody's twisting the buyer's arm to purchase in the 1st place, it's just that so many peeps don't educate themselves as to the element of risk; then complain when they get bit. It's good to state it here for noobs jik...enjoy your disney trip
