Hotel/Discount Question

[Sparrow624]

When Disney releases their 10%, 20%, 30% deals (it was strongly hinted to me by a castmember that this will happen again for April-June 2013), do the discounts to Deluxe hotels include the villas? We are thinking of taking a trip with 5 adults and 2 children and I am wondering if there is a chance a discount may apply to this trip later on.

Anyone have any insights here?

Pretty sure it doesn't Both the pins I got said it didn't include AOA suites or the villas.

I wish I knew for sure, if not, that may change the strategy as it may actually be better to book 2 hotel rooms for the 5 nights then instead.

hmmmm

Sometimes the villas are included in the GP discounts (often at SSR, OKW or AKV).

Have you looked into renting DVC points?

You receive them via snail mail or email.

it usually excludes the 3br and grand villas but I've seen 1-2br's included in most of the discounts

Three bedroom villas are Grand Villas. Except at Vero Beach they are Beach Cottages.
