End of June 2020 - any better deals through travel agent?

[kniquy]

We are looking to do a 3 day stay for 6/29-7/2. At this point RPR is $429/night (standard studio) and HRH and POR is $489 per night. So prices seem high, might be a busy time being it summer - do prices drop at all?

I recall booking RPR over a year out (for an April trip) and it was just over $300 per night and the prices never dropped and actually went up, so I was glad i booked really early. So far I have been checking on prices for our time frame and prices have not budged up or down.
Has anyone had any luck with a travel agent getting any better hotel pricing? or do they have the same access to room prices as the public. My in laws tried going to a local travel agent and she was very uneducated on UO and kept telling them that express pass was available at all resort - certainly not the fact, so I am not sure a TA will be of any help.

I'm keeping my eye out for any AP discounts hoping that might be a possible money savings there.

Suggest booking room only reservation now as a placeholder. Assume you mean a standard room, 2 Q.

We visit that period often (weeks around 4th of July). Rates are noticeably higher than other summer dates. Weekends especially appear to be popular.

You might see a stay & scream or limited aph availability as dates get closer.

Good luck planning your trip
