Me and Anna are now at Animal Kingdom Lodge for Dec 10-14. Got an AP rate and are now paying just $625.52 for the 4 nights. This saves us $600 from what we were paying at Wilderness Lodge. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

After the Fulton's review today, is anyone interested in going there on Friday for lunch?

I was thinking the same thing, Jen! With a 30% DVC discount - how can you resist? Of course, we'll have to wait to hear what happens with the possible Disney Institute stuff that day, but either Friday or Saturday lunch sounds like a good idea to me!

Our discount at WL wasn't THAT good, but it's a lower rate than the AP rate available now @ $214 for courtyard view with bunk beds. As much as I'd love to stay at WL for the first time, I'd rather pay $139/night for AKL even more.

That is awesome! I need to go look at my ressie...I don't think they gave me bunk beds? I don't need them, but I don't want to pay for them either. But she did say I was getting one of the last rooms on the rate. Maybe she meant without bunk beds? (and this was pretty early this morning)

Awesome!!

I will be at AKL from the 15th-20th with some friends! I can't wait to stay there, either!

We really need an icon that will show :jaw drops to floor: This ----> is the closest thing we have...??? Right??

I think I heard Anna's jaw hit the floor when I told her. Disney must really be hurting to offer such a great rate.

Last week when I checked availability at WL, they still had courtyard view rooms that didn't have bunk beds. The rack rate for those rooms in value season is $285, so 40% off = $171 + tax. If you got a room with bunk beds, the AP rate is $214 + tax.

I can understand why many people want to stay at WL during holiday time, and that's why my friend and I chose it. But having never stayed at WL or AKL - the AKL at $139/night would make my pocket book very happy! I just hope my friend's pocket book agrees with me.

I got a courtyard w/o bunk beds and it was $171 plus tax!

I am sure your friend's pocket book will agree!!!

Are you guys doing Savannah view?

I haven't been able to consult my friend's pocketbook because she is returning home from a trip today! IF she agrees to change to AKL, I'm sure we'll have the parking lot/roof view!

**I wasn't kidding about the view. Here's what WDW's web site says about the AKL's standard view room: Standard Rooms offer a view of a parking area or rooftop.

Okay, you people just caused Tracy extra work. In my quest to stay at all WDW resorts, I asked her to check the rate on GF.

But, I think my pocketbook is going to stick w/ Pop - it's really cheap.

Yes you did hear my jaw drop. That what the best news I've hear in a while. Thanks Kim!!!

 

[cocowum]

I just wanted to say TRACY ROCKS!!! when I got home from work, there was an email waiting for me about the discount! Thanks for being sooooo awesome Tracy!

We were at POR in 2006 and their presence was made known, it's not just the value resorts.
Rowdiness in the pool until early in the morning, cheers from their rooms to the parking lot at about 6 in the morning.
Not that it in any way ruined our trip, but it was annoying at times.
The parks are not really affected during the day, but later in the afternoon you may notice a few groups.
It's the old adage, "One rotten apple...etc", that gives the good ones a bad name.
There were lots that were courteous as well.

we had a similar experience at POR in Dec 2005. we were on ground floor, facing the parking lot- i think bldg 15. the pop bus let out right outside our door, and tons of cheerleaders were running, stomping and shouting at midnight. We had a sleeping baby in the room too- not good. they were playing chase on the walkways above us. we called security, not once, but twice, it got so bad. the pool and food court was always crowded too. Other than that one night, it wasn't too bad, not enough to effect our trip really.

Would i stay at a value or POP overflow hotel again, probably not. But they were not a problem in the parks at all, in fact we hardly saw them, it was at the resorts they were at that was a problem.

we also saw lots of courteous and nice kids too. i know our cheer group was a nightmare when we went to a competition at SeaWorld about 20 years ago......maybe this was my payback?

I moved from POP to WL for DAP!

I used my AP discount and was actually able to get a room there before they sold out! Woo Hoo!!!!

awesome!

congrats on all the great rates guys!!

we are at WL too and can't wait to enjoy it during the holidays.

If you book through DU, do the agents automatically notifiy you of any discounts?

I wish I won a big lottery so I could treat ALL my DIS friends to DAP!

UGH! We were thinking about POR but if that's an overflow resort I *might* be able to convince DH to spring for an AP and get a discount at WL or AKL.
