grand Floridian discount

[jcanary]

Has anyone heard about a big discount for the Grand Floridian for the week of July 9? this year? A guy at work just got a room for less than 1/2 price for that week. Anyone hear about anything? His wife has details and as usual he doesn't know.

I'd have to raise an eyebrow at this. I don't remember any significant summer discounts in recent years, and never 50% off at GF. I'd like to hear details too. Maybe it's the wife "working her magic" on how it can seem like 50% off I'm really good at that too

50% off at GF? I think you're right. I am a teensy bit surprised they are staying at GF. Usually these stories end up with "reservations" at Cinderella's castle.

It could be they are going to a convention and getting a special deal that way. I was able to get the GCH at DL for 60% off when I went to a realtor convention last year. That was work related though, as far as non work related I have gotten the GF 40% twice through the military salute as my DH is active duty AF.

I think a military, corporate or CM discount would be the only discounts that could come close to 50%. During certain holidays CM's are offered big discounts on lodging and that is the closest I've seen to 50% off. In my experience, it is easier to get a deal @ DGC than it is at GF, at least what I observe in general don't know if there is some sort of scientific method to my thinking or just what I experienced, but that's my .02.

In any event, if they're saving 50% at the world's most expensive Red Roof Inn...I would love to know how

I got 40% for June.. I booked under the public 30% then called later and I had a personal PIN and it was 40% so it dropped another $200

BUT I have never heard of more than 40% discount even for the military. Last Nov we had 40% military (under my mom) at CR

We've stayed at GF on a military discount during low season (Sept) for less than $300/nt. I don't remember the exact amount, I'd have to go rummage through my box o' Disney stuff to find the check-out paperwork. It was an amazing deal. I still remember my sister's eyes bugging out of her head (they were traveling with us) when I told her the rate available for GF. She was like TAKE IT, TAKE IT!!!

I think we lucked out because it was right when all the reports were coming in about the construction and the wedding pavilion closing, so people were moving their reservations fearing really intrusive construction problems.

We got a pin code for our last trip for 40% off GF. It was in October though... totally spoiled us, now we are hoping for another!

ps-- last year when we talked about a november trip, WDW was offering Yacht Club for $183 a night-- so there are great deals out there if you are lucky enough to get one.

Yeah, I think he's pulling your leg.
