NEWS - 2022 Dates Available to Book

I'm always curious to follow YOY rack rate increases. Spot-checking one date doesn't tell us everything and is arguably flawed (need to do more studying to take into account the full calendar) but FWIW, here's a quick look at pre-tax rack rates comparing today vs the same Tuesday after Pres. Day next year.

While no one likes increases, glad to see mostly 3.x%s vs the 5-8%+ this has been in recent years. Need to study some more dates to see if that pattern holds.

Me: Sees news. Clicks open disneyworld.com to look at packages. Remembers that there will be no ME, FP+ and they still have the park reservation system going, and all of that at exorbitant prices (there is no time of year that paying $300 for a motel room ever makes sense, I don't care if Pop Century has Disney branding). Closes tab.

Add those increases to the ticket price increase!!

I can justify paying Disney’s high prices for Deluxe and most moderates. But not values.
 
Another random date sampling of pre-tax rack rates - in this case Sat 7/3/21 vs Sun 7/3/22. Wtd avg increase of 2.3%. Noteworthy, Poly/CR had the lowest increase out of the Feb sample a few posts early, but have the highest out of this set.

Looking at Mardi Gras next year and it's honestly not as bad as I thought it would be. I am pretty sure we will choose Universal instead, but I wanted to get an idea of what WDW would be. For 4 nights we would just stay at Pop.
 
Well, Disney will always win. :-)

5-20%+ swings in eventual general public and AP discounts can quickly impact my wallet more than the rack rate. :goodvibes
