I am switching our vacation from Feb to April and so I'm looking at rates (which I reallize are going to be higher during Easter week), but I can't figure out what I am missing with this offer. Specifically regarding the bold statement under theh SS Promo Quote - Stay 7 nights for the price of 4 duringselect dates! Theme park tickets not include.

The below is the SS rate that was quoted (I copied & pasted) when I plugged in my info.

Promotion Code: SUPER SAVINGS PROMOTION
Stay 7 nights for the price of 4 duringselect dates! Theme park tickets not include.
Room Type: CLUB ROOM 2 QUEEN BEDS Sleeps up to 5
Special Benefits include Continental BrkfstFitness center access Evening beer wine
Avg Nightly Rate: 363.77 (per room)
Total Cost w/o Taxes: 2546.40 (per room)


OK, so yes, 363.77 comes to 2546.40 for the 7 night stay. But, if this is a 7 nights for the price of 4 offer, does that mean that a club level room is usually $636/night?


I looked at the below offer of the stay 4 play more with 2 park tickets, but that makes no sense either as it comes out cheaper for me to evern buy 3 of the 7 day unlimited passes?

Forgive the mathmatically challenged, but what I am overlooking here?

Help! I'm stumped (and frankly tired of trying to figure it out).

Thanks.
 
What are your dates?
 
I'm not sure which hotel you are staying at but I looked up room rates for one night Easter week (4/7) on club level for the three hotels and the rack rates, pre-tax are:
RPH- $449
HRH - $494
PBH - $535

Is this the same week you received your quote? Weekend rates are also slightly higher. It looks like you are getting a discount if you are alos going that same Easter week as stated in your post. Hope this helps. Also, call reservation directly and ask them. They are very helpful.
 
April 10 - 17 are my dates, looking at club level at RPR??? And I'm not saying I think the $363/night is a bad rate, give it is a holiday week, it's the 7 for 4 statement in the quote that is really throwing me off because if I'm getting 7 nights for 4 than the usual rate per night is over $600? That's insane. I just want to make sure I'm getting the best deal I can.
 

I just checked your dates and they don't fall on the Super Saver dates for the buy 4 get 3 offer. They must be anticipating being busy. Keep watching your dates though, if the hotel doesn't fill up like they expect it to they may lower the rate. Have fun.:)

THANKS! I couldn't find the dates for this offer so I assumed since they put that statement in the quote, that is was part of the offer, but it just didn't make sense to me. Thanks again. Still possiblity of pushing the whole vaca to August, which will be miserably hot, but much cheaper.....in the process of getting my house sold and the buyer wants me out by the end of Feb so I'm scrambling with LIFE at the moment :)
