Does anyone remember discount rates in Dec. for 03 and 04

[ScottNBecky]

Does anyone remember a sample, or have a link to sample rates ( discount codes for Dec. 2003 and Dec. 2004)? I am trying to see what the rates were the past few years at various resorts since I am lining up a trip for Dec. 05 and wanted to gage cost by the past. Thanks , Scott

Try mousesavers.com. I think that she may have a section that shows historical rates at different seasons.

THey have the seasons listed as wel as historical info on when the coeds were released, but they dont have actual price for each hotel. I guess really I am looking for past deals between THanksgiving and Xmas (value season) for AKL, WL, or something like POP. If anyone stayed at any of those in the past, do you recall what the rate was with AAA, or general public codes? Thanks

The best I can do is tell you about us last year Nov15-22.
We got the AKL for 168/night ( savannah view)and YC for 221/night (Standard view-but we were upgraded for free to water view)
This was with a code.

 

[ScottNBecky]

Mrs. J Henry was your code, general public code, or was it AP rate?

We stayed at POP in Dec '04 for $55 a night with a code that was available to anyone. We had originally booked with AAA for $61/night.

We stayed in Dec 04 CR wing room 164.00. It was a fall/holiday code open to the public. I found the ad for it on Disney's website. It was on the site in Oct for just a few days.

In December 2004, we paid $130 for standard view at AKL and $169 for FW cabins. This was with the general public code.

Wow! THose are great deals! Does anyone know when codes come out for that time? We're looking at AKL for Dec., and I'd love to get a better rate.

Also, during the season between Thanksgiving and Christams - AAA discount is 20% for values (POP) and moderates, and 15% for deluxes. I hope that helps. That puts AKL standard view at $169/night plus tax.

SORRY IT IS A LITTLE SLOPPY. Since I could never remember I started saving them to our vacation plans. My DH whips up a chart for what we would like to do and our priority seatings. Then when the codes come out I just copy it and attach it to our plans. AKL Concierge went up 100 a night - to me that was the biggest change....
