I have had a discount over Xmas week for the last 2 years. In 2006 I stayed at FW cabins from 19th to 26th and got a 30% off on AP rate for the whole period. Also only had to pay value rate for the whole time because I checked in on last day of value season. I think we paid $170 a night. Last year I was at SSR from 19th to 27th in a 1 bed. Had a 40% off code for the whole period and paid $222 a night. Also got value rate for the whole time.
So discounts at Xmas do exist although this year that have scrapped the deal where you can get value rate for the whole time which is a shame. Am still holding out for a discount this xmas as prices to stay at SSR are just insane. My whole trip with dining cost $2900 last year, this year they want $7000.
