[Harlie]

I have the 20/30/40 pin and iwas thinking to us its not the greatest deat but is better then a kick to the groin with a frozen boot.

I would love to see a deal that was along the lines of stay at a moderate for the pricr of a value and stay at a deluxe for the price of a moderate type thing that would totally real me away from the values lol! I would totally be bugging dh to stay deluxe then haha!

I know wishful thinking!

At 40% off, a stay in a deluxe during value season is about the same cost as a stay in an moderate when standard rates apply.

You beat me to it... a stay in a standard view room at AKL would be less than a mod... like $165 a night...

Wow where are you finding those prices when I priced it out and it was still more.

Value season WL standard room is $144 at 40% off - a moderate is $149.

Yeah, but unfortunately we can't stay in a standard room at WL since we're a family of five. That really bugs me - all the other deluxes (besides WL and AK) can do five guests in EVERY room, but where we'd most like to stay - no dice!

I really think Disney needs to work more with larger families....

Okay - I'm venting - in a bad mood because I still haven't gotten a pin

Ok, but am I the only one wondering how the op knows what it is like to get kicked in the groin with a frozen boot.

Although they are technically deluxe resorts WL and AK are really at a different level than the other deluxes. The price level is between the moderates and the deluxe. I heard rumours a few years ago that Disney was considering making them moderates but that never played out, like many rumours.

We are staying in a pool view room at AKL in Aug for $168 per night using the 40% code.

Why are AK & WL on a different level than other deluxes?
I know they are priced lower than the other Deluxes, but I considered that to be because of location/transportation.

I agree - it is their location/lack of monorail, IMO. They are not as convenient, but they are clearly a step up from the moderates.

That said, everyone has different tastes. I have a friend that has money to burn. His favorite resort? All Star Sports...
