Has anyone considered booking 'Play, Stay, and Dine' instead of the Military Discount? Which is the better deal in your opinion?

Beach Club
Standard view
May 18th - 23rd
booked 8.23.12

then changed it

Beach Club
Deluxe room - Club level
May 18th - 23rd
changed on 11.11.12

then changed it (and I swear this is it )

Boardwalk
Deluxe room - Club level
May 18th - 23rd
changed on 11.15.12

I have no idea why I am having such a hard time making up my mind, but I have had no problems with availability.

The military discount is better for us...we use the 40% on a deluxe. We have AP's so don't need tickets, and we aren't doing the DDP either, it really doesn't work for us at all.

What does the military rate typically end up being? We are used to staying at Shades, but are considering trying a Disney property this time. TIA!

It is 30% on values, 35% on moderates, and 40% on deluxes.

Thank you!

Just Booked Beach Club garden view yesterday for 4/28-5-4. Most room types were still available, I think standard view was the only one not available for the miliary rate for those dates.

ASMovies
Preferred
5/7 - 5/13
Booked 12/7

Bummed we couldn't get a moderate. None were available! Any idea if all moderates have military discounts or just certain ones? ASMo was the only value available too!!

Downgraded from CSR ($817) to Pop Century ($513) yesterday.
Shades would have been $408 but without airport transfers.
Jan 1 to 7

Had my TA compare the military discount vs. the new deal they just rolled out and we are saving $198 by staying with the military discount (30% off value) and discounted tickets from our nearby base. Can't even compare it to what they are now offering for spring.

If you don't mind, can you post information on your military room discount for 2013:

1. Resort
2. Room type(s)
3. Dates of your stay
4. Approximate date you booked with the military discount

Thank you!! Just trying to instill some hope that I will ever get a miltary discount on a 1 or 2 bedroom villa at BLT. Several CMs have told me they're not excluded, just not available right now. Boo.

1. Contemporary Resort
2. Club Level, lagoon view
3. Sept 15-21st
4. The day they announced it

4/26 - 5/1
Oct

Second
Shades of Green
Standard (3 adults, 1 child, 1 infant)
4/26 - 4/30
Dec (when Military child offer announced)
moving to POP last day discount only to 4/30.

We have never stayed at either so keep going back and forth. With 5 and needing a crib wonder about the larger size at SOG. Driving and Cruise on 5/2

To those that book with the military rate: do you usually get tickets thru Shades? Not sure if that's cheaper than including them in package. Thanks!!!

It is, when you factor no tax on them.

It is cheaper. We are just getting ours at our local base instead of heading to Shades (without a car). I know you can walk from the Poly but we want to go the parks as soon as we check in and having them already and still saving $ is a plus for us.
