Grand Californian Discount Advice?

[TerryandDoug]

Hello,

We're making our first trip to Disneyland and are hoping to find some way to get a more affordable rate at the Grand Californian. We would check in on 2/23/12 for 3 nights. The rate online is $345 (+ tax) for the Thursday and $368 for the Friday and Saturday.

I called the Disney reservation line and asked for any available discounts for those nights, but came up with the same rates as online. I told the agent that I was a member of D23, have the Disney Visa, am member of AAA, and also that we will be sailing on Disney Wonder immediately after checking out. None of those led to any discounts.

Do any of you have any thoughts of anything else I could do to find discounts for those nights?

Thanks for your help,
Doug

Unfortunately, the price you are quoted is already a discounted price of up to 35% Off. Unless your heart is set on the Grand Californian, the only price you will find lower is most likely, another Disney hotel.
