**Girly Only Pre-Christmas Shopping Weekend**

[Lisash]

I think you can get a group discount, we do for work functions etc. We just call the hotel and say we will be needing approximately however many rooms and agree a rate then the individuals just call and book and pay for their own rooms quoting the group name to claim the discounted rate. Once we decide on a hotel it is maybe worth calling to ask if we could perhaps do this

To be honest Deb, I didn't know where to start with that

I didn't want one person to have to be responsible for booking everyone's room, this way everyone was only responsible for their own (and their roomy's booking)

Though any help in finding a discount would be great

Mandy

I wouldn't mind having a go at getting some kind of discount if you like.

Matt hasn't stopped grinning since he found out I'll be away for two nights! Either I'm more of a witch than I realised, or he's got a girlfriend! He's been a-plotting and a-scheming like a good 'un.

Mmm what has he got planned.........

I might be able to come, i'd like to as long as you all don't mind a young 'un tagging along (i'm 23)

Are you trying to make out we are all 'old fart's' We would love for you to join us.

Oh this sounds like fun, but I dont think I will be able to do shopping though.

Great news Michelle

Lizzy i'm 24! So you and i can keep the rest of um in check....

I duno how many wheelchairs we can push round at once though when they all start getting tired

Hey Cheeky

hi just put the computer on after a few days what a surprise
I might be able to make it for 1 night if i can't make that i'll join you for the day!!!
So i guess that means that i'll be on the maybe list.
(If i do end up staying i would be up to sharing a room)
It'll be nice to meet you all

We would love to see you too

I can stay both nights I'm on a tight budget so cheapest hotel for me and I'd like to share a room as well please.

Great news Claire!

This can be a double celebration for me as I turn the big 30 just over a week later (not sure if I am happy about that or not).


Lou

We will certainly celebrate that Lou

Aww, Mandy - I'd absolutely love to join you girls in the city of my birth (always fab to have a trip down memory lane ) but I'm in WDW till the 15th!

Thanks Joh, that would be great. Currently, as most people don't seem to mind where they stay, The Hyatt is the most popular

http://www.hyatt.com/hyatt/reservat...irmi&src=tigg_Google_National_L&iata=HY100224

So if we can find a code that we can use on-line or by phone then that would be great

Dh said that sometimes he sees offers for Travel Inn and other hotels for £1 a night. It might be worth holding fire to see if any offers come up.

Normally on www.hotukdeals.co.uk

I would really like to come, however I am not sure if I can yet,

I spoke to group reservations at the Hyatt this afternoon and the rates she quoted me were the same as on their web site (even though she said it was a discounted rate)

I have just had a look on their site and you can get a rate of £79.20 per night (for twin room) but it's an advance purchase rate (needs to be paid up front and cancellation fee of 1 night stay applies). Otherwise you're looking at £99 per night for a twin room (room only) or £123 per night for twin room (B&B). They also do a government rate (which I know a couple of us may be eligible for) of £89.20 per night (room only).

Sorry girls, I did try - I really can't understand why their group rate is no cheaper

Ah well, thanks for trying Joh, really nice of you

I hope you can make it Claire, and you can always book at the last minute

Thanks so much for trying Joh. I think The Hyatt is going to be our chosen hotel and I will book the 79.20 advance rate once it's been agreed

What's government rate mean? just out of interest

Emily, it's for people who work for local and national/international government. If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, I am not sure if it applies to teachers - you could always ring and ask

 

[emily1982]

lol i was actually thinking that as working for government you do get discounts for health clubs etc. If i do stay, i might double check.

Fingers crossed
