Placeholder discount increase?

[TheOneWithTheTriplets]

I prefer booking this way vs. VGT because I'd rather choose my own cabin and if you book early and have secured early dining,

At some point, the value of early dining and room selection can only take you so far. If you're comparing 10% placeholder to 30% GTY, maybe you suck it up and do late dining. But bumping the placeholder to 20-25% is definitely going to make staying with your original booking more appealing.

I was thinking I wasn’t going to get more placeholders since the *GT rates have been so good recently but with the bigger discount its definitely making me rethink that.

This new discount is making me think of booking the Treasure for the fall instead of the fantasy. Booking 2 verandah cabins on the treasure can be really pricey - makes it much more appealing with this discount. And we will get to book the excursions we want - our favorite ones always book up before VGT rates are announced.

Exactly. I’d much rather keep my original res intact but it’s not worth keeping it if offered $2000 off by booking VGT.

With DCL increasing the value of a placeholder, I still get 25% off and my res stays the same. I wonder if they will still offer VGT as it gets closer.

Wonder when they might release the VGT rates for the Fall?

It used to be typically done after the FPDD but lately it's been much earlier. I would guess by the end of summer.

DCL just released the VGT rate for the 5/1 fantasy sailing. About 60 days in advance. I am still waiting for the VGT rate for the 5/6 fantasy cruise. The VGT rates for the Fantasy seem to come later and later and much closer to sail date.

My thought exactly!
