President's Week Discounts?

[VacationMom5]

Ok, I usually avoid holiday weeks at Disney like the plague but it looks like we are going to have to follow the masses and go to WDW for President's week in Feb 2011. My question is for anyone who went this past Feb for Pres week if you remember what discounts, if any, were offered or do they usually exclude president's week? I would probably be most interested in a room only discount because we are a family of five and will probably have to stay deluxe. But if you remember a package that was offered I'd appreciate that too. Thank You for your help! I can't wait to start planning.

Thanks, I did look there and it did seem like there was a room only discount that included pres. week but no specific % off info.

Here's hoping! We'll be going that week as well. I thought we'd try to avoid the huge crowds for at least a couple of our days at the end by going the day after Pres Day (Tues 2/22) and staying until the following Tues. Now I discover the Princess Half Marathon weekend is Feb 25-27. Hopefully this won't noticeably increase an already crowded time.

I was wondering the same thing too since our children's high school band/chorus are planning to go that weekend so they don't miss class time. I hope it has been changed since my last conversation with the band director.

I know Disney changes thing a lot with their discounts and I haven't been this week in qiute a few years.

We have AP and in the past when you booked under an AP rate you got that rate for your entire stay. I booked AKL and The Poly using my AP and got 40% off for Presidents Week. (8 days) I did have to start my trip I think Wednesday or Thursday before the weekend to get the discount. But the discount was good for the whole trip.
