I just tried the Disney website for my friend again to see if she can get a moderate for 7/11 through 7/26. The same time that I will be at Pop. She didn't want to stay at Pop since her kids are older.
The only moderate that was available was Port Orleans - French Quarter, but it wasn't a standard room which I saw about 2 weeks agao for $155.00 a night. She was just thinking about it then so she didn't want to book anything. $175 a night is too high for her.
The only Value resort available for the same time, 7/11 through 7/26 is All Star Sports or Pop Century and All Star Sports is a preferred room. Can they all be booked? Do they hold a number of rooms that they know will be taken by Annual Passholders once codes come out?
This is my first time staying onsite and I have never tried to stay onsite before. I never really thought about it since I don't drive and the last trip I made to Florida last summer I went to International Drive since I was going to Seaworld, Universal, Islands of Adventure and the water park on I-Drive. They were selling tickets last year for unlimited visits within 17 days to all the parks so I couldn't pass that up.
I love going to Disney so I was considering buying an Annual Pass if the discount was really good, but will Disney have AP discounts if all the rooms at their resorts are being booked up so fast? Can they be doing something just to make people stop looking for AP codes by making everyone think that all their values and moderates are booked for the summer.
Hopefully soon even if I can't use it. I was really hoping for some general public special.
