So, this is kind of a weird question and I thought it was me having a computer issue but I guess it's not. I've tried clearing cookies etc. and the website still does it. How do you get your hotel searches to default to rack rate? My coworker wanted to come to Disney with me in November and looked & said it showed every single hotel sold out. Then she looked again and said everything was $700+ per night. She sent me a screen shot, and it was showing the Magical Holidays Offer. My computer is doing the same thing - from the main page, NOT special offers, it's only showing us the Offer rooms, not rack rate. Must we search individually by hotel? If a more computer-savvy person could help that'd be great!

Mousesavers.com has the rack rates of the resorts when they are first released. First released. Saying that now because Disney raises the prices throughout the year on their resort rooms. Mousesavers prices does include tax.

Cliick on any hotel for the date you looking for. Click the button for ROOM on far left. Then hit change button and put in all resorts or the one you want.
 
sometimes i have to hit the package button, then hit the room button for the rack rates to show...who knows what ghosts are in the machine?
 

This is what works for me:

1) Run a search for your dates and the click into the link for a specific hotel (any one)
2) In the list of different available offers, select "room" - this will show the rack rate for room at that hotel, if there is any availability for it
3) Click the "Change" button (if there is no availability at the hotel, the button will read "Check Availability" - either way click it), and in the pop up, click on the drop down list with hotels, scroll up to the top and select "All Resort Hotels"

It should then take you to a list of all the hotels with room availability on those days at the rack rate.
 
...and a note? Go into the website like a total stranger. Chrome, incognito, NO UID/PW...
We do this often, to determine RACK at a particular time, at our home DVC Resort - already booked. We even go all the way to the Cart to see REAL Rack with tax, then clear the cart.

IF there are no "deals"? Those numbers tell us how much we are saving (or taking off our initial DVC buy-in), at our home resort, when WE wish to be there.
