Help me understand the new discounts...

[Momto2PrncChrmgs]

I've priced all three new discounts (Spring Offer, Kid Package, and Family Time Package)...are they all exactly the same price? I'm not finding one any better than the other. I'm ready to book, but don't want to book the wrong one if I'm missing something. I'm making myself crazy going over these!!

I found the exact same thing. Different resorts, same prices for all 3 options. Any experts?

I am not sure, but our family thought this part was pretty funny:

(From the "Family Time" package description)
"Sample package prices based on 2 adults, 1 junior (ages 10 to 17) and 1 child (ages 3 to 9)."

What the heck is a 'junior'? There are no 'junior' ticket prices, or a 'junior' dining package. Did they just make this up so they wouldn't have to come flat out and say any child over the age of 9 has to pay adult prices?

A junior does not incur the additional room charge that an additional adult would have to pay for.

This is not as odd an occurrence as it seems. This is often the case. Somewhere buried in there these discounts may work differently at a certain resort for a certain stay length but in many instances they may come out the same. This has occurred in the past too. Sometimes I think it is just Disney marketing putting the same deal out multiple ways to try to attract families of different sizes and makeups.

A junior is 10 to 17 for packages. Adult ticket and dining plan price but not an adult for the room.

I don't even know which "discount" I ended up with, just called and asked for the best of what would apply to my reservation. Sadly, since I had a standard view room booked at POR with 3 adults and one child, I could only upgrade to the cheapest room, which was Royal standard view. I saved $70. I wanted to stay in alligator bayou, but even with the standard room there was no guarantee, and the preferred rooms were $500 more. I would bet these "discounts" will be sold out soon, so don't wait to decide which one is better.
