Deal at Port Orleans

[twoeeyy]

i tried twice for oct 5-14 and they had nothing.

Guess we will stay at POP . It would be an additional 600 ish to switch to POR.

we are paying barely over 3000 for 3 adults 9 day hopper with water park and dining.

Hi I called CRO and they told me a special discount popped up when they were searching resorts

They gave me a rate of $1435 all taxes incl for 2 adults and 1 child at Port Orleans Riverside Std room with park hopper tickets

Is this a good deal?

July 31-August 7th 2007

Thanks

So I have to ask, CRO is central reservations office and usually only handles room only ressies, but it sounds like you all are getting packages ? Are you sure you are not calling WDTC ? (Walt Disney Travel Co)

I called 407-WDISNEY.

BTW, the CM I spoke with said they are filling those rooms during that time. In a way that is good news (for selfish reasons) the parks have been rather managable during this time of year. He said some people are offered the discount while others are not - its a pop up.

I called and to my surprise I was offered the resort upgrade. I'm currently booked at All Stars Movies (preferred room - AAA rate) and I purchased my tickets already - total for me was about $1240 which includes my room and park hopper tickets. I was quoted $1347 for my same 6 nights stay (August 6-12) and that included park hoppers - In Port Orleans. Although it would be great to Upgrade to a Moderate Resort - Port Orleans just doesn't interest me. Should I take a chance - or stick with what I've got?

For $107 more, I would hop on that upgrade...but thats just me =)

That is a tough call. I do love Port Orleans. It is a beautiful resort. We stayed there before. We have also had great trips to All-Star Movies and Pop.

The difference between a moderate and a value is amazing, IMO. I really enjoy the values, but the pool area and the grounds are really special in a moderate. The slide and hot tubs (I know, in August, the hot tubs aren't that appealing) are great. The sit-down restaurant doesn't sway me one way or the other. The food is decent, but I'd rather eat elsewhere. The rooms are a bit larger, and they have a luggage seat and peg rack, which helps for storage. The grounds are really spectacular. The values are all about Disney fun, the moderates feel resort-like.

Whatever you decide, you will be at Disney!!!

I am happy to hear that others are getting the deal. When I did the Disney math on the room discount, it was over 55% off! I'll take it!

Good luck and let us know your decision!

DBF and I will be at POR beginning Aug 15-we've been going back and forth about downgrading to a value since we missed out on free dining (and we'd rather have the dining plan than have a fancier resort)-I'm going to call tomorrow and see what happens! Wish me luck!

 

[ugadog99]

I'm still hoping for an AP rate at a deluxe, but if this is offered to me, I'll take it. I love POR, anyway.

If you think you have a really good deal with Disney in a Value or Moderate, and there are no general public offers, please review your reservation carefully. For the person who posted about the great deal with dining and older kids (age 10+) the price quoted is awfully close to the rate for two adults and two children (age 3-9) with dining.

Call back to ascertain that you booked what you think you booked and ask for a reservation confirmation where you see your trip details in writing. Might save some problems upon check in.

There has been miscommunication over the phone more than once, and there could be a difference with the age of a child or a ticket/package component.

 

[ADisneygirl]

The pop up deals aren't meant for everyone, just like the special codes attached to certain people's names on the CRO computer aren't for the general public. You can call and ask them to check and see if you have any discounts or codes, but most of the time the answer is going to be no. It is one of the ways Disney does its marketing and there must be a rhyme and reason as to how they select people, but I don't know it.

It is one of those Disney mysteries.

Good luck.

I did recheck my confirmation online at Disney. Everything is perfect. I have the original price of 4280.16 and my new ressie at 3541.68. Using conventional math, not my fuzzy Disney math, I come up with a savings of 739.08. It was such an unexpected treat to get the discount from the pop-up code! I hope that Disney continues offering special pricing for it's guests. Good luck to everyone looking for their discounts!

We are staying at POR 2 rooms and i am using my aaa discount which is 15% for each room. I tried to call back for the extra 2% savings but could not get it for 6-15-07 to 6-23-07. tried adding tickets for 4 days w/ hopping. Maybe you have to have dining on it also. I think I would be better off using my aaa since i have to rooms and 4 people.

yeah, i am wondering if this is only for dates in the summer or are there other dates?

 

[magchavez]

Looks like people were only getting the pop ups on Friday. Was anyone able to get them over the weekend?

 

[hightown]

Called just now and no magic for me! Can't get a discount to save my life for my upcoming trip except at Hard Rock. They must like their passholders as I have $144 a night!

Disney, can't get AAA or a pop up & no Ap for my dates. I told the CM that had read on line about people getting these "POP up offers" and was told that much on the boards is 'erroneous'. Ok, whatever.

 

[dvcnewgirl]

Those pop ups are amazing. I called one time to inquire about availability and I got a pop up. It gave me Poly for cheaper than POR. WHAT! I was so excited. But I couldn't go in the end. It was a great deal!
