DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info DISapalooza

[tiggerbell]

Rack rate for a standard room at All Star Music ($82) with tax is $92.66/night vs. the discounted rate ($59) plus tax @ $66.67. That's a difference of $25.99/day - which would probably feed you! Ya snooze, ya lose!

Now I think Nancy is saying, "Early bird gets the room."

 

[baby1disney]

I understand what everyone is saying. I know that Disney deals don't last for that long. But, I can't control it if I don't have the money to put down. If I could only put down the $66, I'd do it.

I'm just hoping that I made some really good mulah today!! I've worked really hard the last two weeks!!

But, if I miss out, I just do. It's not anyone's fault but my own!! But...I really do appreciate everyone's concern and eggin me on to do it NOW!!!

Now I'm confused - if the deposit is $66, why are you thinking you have to put down more than the deposit???

 

[winotracy]

The one-night deposit for a standard room at All Star Music is $66.67 with the latest discounts to the general public. If you wait a month to make your deposit, you may have slim pickings at a value resort.

Thanks for the info on that. But...I think I'm going to let either Tracy or Mindy book for me!! LOL!! I have enough stress right now in my life on top of booking a trip!! I'm actually going to let someone else do something for me!!! OH LORD!!!

(No offense to either Tracy or Mindy...I just usually do everything myself..this is a big step for me!!)

I know you want to book with Dreams - and that is how much the deposit is NOW. If you wait a month the discounted rates may be gone and you'll be paying rack rate of $82 + tax - IF there are rooms left.

I think what Nancy was telling you was that if it's not booked and the deposit put down soon, that the value resorts will be sold out.

Doesn't matter if you call Disney yourself or you book thru a TA, sold out is sold out.

Thank you, Jaime - that's exactly what I meant.

Terrie - the deposit is fully refundable on a room-only reservation until 5 days before the check-in date.

If she is doing a package the price is more. I want to echo what everyone is saying. Just because I can get you a quote now for a room doesn't mean I'll be able to do so when you are ready to pay the deposit. I thought you were ready to pay the deposit and that's why you requested another quote. It's best to wait to get a new quote until you are ready to pay the deposit. You can just email me when you are ready.

Five days notice may not be the cancelation period for a discounted room. Some WDW terms and conditions are requiring 45 days notice to cancel even for a room only rate when the rate is discounted.

This is from a 2008 T&C for room only:

Discounted Offers - In order to receive a full refund of your deposit, notification of cancellation must be received at least 45 days prior to your arrival date. To cancel or modify an existing reservation, call (407) 939-7429†.

I checked the disney site today and this language isn't there, http://adisneyworld.disney.go.com/media/ibc/DisneyWorldIBC/IBC/popups/popup_cro_terms.html, but then it also says: the terms are "are subject to change by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Online without notice.

Perhaps they have done away with this requirement (thank goodness) but in any event, just make sure you read (or ask about) the cancelation terms at booking especially when booking a discounted room.

That's only when it is a package with a room discount. Room only reservations have a cancellation period of five days.

I understood Terrie's comment to mean that she doesn't have $66 to pay now.

If she is doing a package the price is more. I want to echo what everyone is saying. Just because I can get you a quote now for a room doesn't mean I'll be able to do so when you are ready to pay the deposit. I thought you were ready to pay the deposit and that's why you requested another quote. It's best to wait to get a new quote until you are ready to pay the deposit. You can just email me when you are ready.

A package would require a $200 deposit and full payment 45 days in advance - right? I was suggesting a room-only reservation for Terrie, and she can buy tickets closer to the travel dates or at WDW after she arrives.

The last thing I want to do is disagree with Tracy - especially as she is currently right! Still, for a time, 45 days was the cancellation requirement for a "room only" reservation if the room price was "discounted." I have a rather obsessive thing about printing off terms and conditions when I book. Its a professional hazard. Perhaps it was a mistake that I happened to see by coincidence.

Weren't you looking for a roommate? Any luck with that? Then it would only be $33 if you went "half-sies". Just trying to help.

I didn't even think about that!! I thought I had to book everything all at once!!! Thanks Nancy!!!

I've tried to find a roomie and two people said yes...then within a few days..they decided not to...idk why..but I'm still searching...

Tracy, if I book a room only ressie, can I add the ticket later or does everything have to be all at once?

Room only reservations and packages are booked completely separate. If you book the room only and want to make it a package, you are subject to availability at the time you make it a package. Your original deposit is refunded and a new deposit is made. The only other way is to buy your tickets separate from a package. If you are looking for dining (like with the free dining plan), this cannot be done.

Thanks for reminding me to go look at my flights at SWA. Canceled and rebooked. Just saved another $10 which brings me to $55 saved. Now I need to use those credits by June. Hmmmm? Where can I go?
