Fairy Tale Suite

[calilou]

Has anyone stayed recently and wouldn't mind sharing the rate? My search is showing rates around $700-800 are possible mid-week. Too good to be true? And how about the limit of two people? I'm interested for my two daughters (9 and 7) and myself. Any way they will accommodate the three of us? We're used to sharing one bed! I called Disney Travel, but the date I was asking about wasn't available. I plan to call back to check on additional dates, but would love more insider 411 first.

Would love to hear about experiences! TIA!

I called about one of the Signature Suites a couple months ago. I asked for the rate for whatever was available for 1 night, thinking like you that if it was under $1k I may just try it for 1 night. It wasn't. It was over $4k. I think all of them are in a similar price point.

I know there are some here who have stayed in one. I read the reviews when I was researching. Try a board search in just this section and see if you can find it

Yes I found quite a few threads and pictures, but nothing too recent that confirmed those rates. Hoping for some new reports!

Hey AngiTN, don't I know you from gymbofriends?!

It is entirely possible, probable more than likely

I don't know the current rates, but the Fairy Tale Suite does not go for the same as the other Signature Suites, which are very much larger and include full kitchens, dining room, living areas and multiple bathrooms, I believe. The cost of those, as AngiTN said, runs well into the thousands. Last I heard on this board, which was about a year ago?, someone posted having paid $1000-1200 for the FTS. When I called to ask about it 3 years ago, the lowest price was $800 and the highest something like $1500. I booked 2 nights for my son and DIL for their honeymoon early July 2012, and at that time I paid $900/night. I would think that was a pretty decent rate for that suite given that it included the 4th of July. I stayed in January 2012 and it wasn't much less than that. There does not seem to be a really clear-cut answer for FTS rates. Keep calling!

Ah, I bet that is why FTS was sold out. If it's smaller, and less expensive and the "cutest" I can see it being sold out well in advance. Too bad we didn't decide to go to DL earlier

Does the suite include club level access? And is it even included in discounts? TIA!

Yes, it does include concierge privileges, and the cool thing is it is directly next door to the lounge! You can run over and get snacks, champagne--er, sparkling wine--etc and take it back to your room. We also found a huge fruit bowl and balloons in our room when we arrived (we had told them we were celebrating a birthday). At the time we went (which was before the dining packages so not sure it still applies), you could also get VIP seating at Fantasmic. That was a neat bonus.

ETA: It is not included in room discounts and there is no AP rate for it.

I think I read DizMe's trip report from the Fairy Tale Suite once...maybe she can link it for you.

I just asked a friend who stayed the first week in November and she said it was $950 pre-tax on a Tues and Wed night.

FYI The GCH has great deals sometimes on their suites also

I don't know if it was a mistake, or pixie dust, but we received the military discount when booking the FTS

Thanks for the info!

Can 2 adults and a 4 yr old stay in this suite at the same time?

Yes. There is 1 bed and a lounge that the little one can sleep on.

I found out my husband called the hotel and they told him its a strict 2 guests only for that room. I wish we could have the three of us there...

Yes, that is their official line. I think it is often the Honeymoon Suite and is geared for couples; since it also includes concierge, they may want to limit the number for that reason as well (so the lounge isn't overcrowded).

However, I will say that when we stayed in 2012, I booked for 2 people but we had a local friend who met us to celebrate the special birthday with us. We asked the hotel staff if she could stay over with us and they said sure. She slept on the chaise for 2 nights and we all had a blast. I'm so glad they let us have 3 in the room! BTW, it doesn't break any fire codes, it's just the official policy to limit the FTS to 2.

I've read DizMe's awesome experience and photo share. Thank you!

I'll keep trying to call and see if I can get a good midweek rate. Would still love to hear more recent experiences if they're out there!
