Senior Hotel Discount

[Jennayg123]

Does anyone know if there is still a Senior Hotel Discount available? I saw some mention of it on a few sites, but I can't seem to find anything recent. Thanks!

No more senior discounts unfortunately. They got rid of those in 2013. Too bad, it was awesome going with my parents and getting 30% off rooms. Made things more affordable. Now i have to wait and hope for AP discounts.

Some of the good neighbor hotels might offer a senior discount. I've seen it listed for the BWPPI in the past.

Tropicana has an AARP discount.

Thanks everyone! Looks like the best we can do so far is the additional Orbitz discount code to stay on-site.

If you are flexible with your dates, you can stay within a week either way of Dapper Day for 50% off. See their website for dates--fall is something like Sept 13 and spring is usually in March www.dapperday.com

*Just checked and fall DD is Friday, Sept 18. They have a booking area on their website if you want to check hotel rates and dates.

Or one may be happy with a decent, off site hotel. And be grateful for it.

Then again, one may prefer to stay on site and be willing to pay for it, but try to get the best rate possible

If one is participating in Dapper Days. Otherwise one is not eligible for their event rate.

True. However what one prefers to do and may afford to do can differ from what is realistically possible at the time.
People need to stop crying over what they want to do but can't, and focus on what is possible and be grateful and happy for it. But then that's just my opinion.

Is that something new? In my opinion, that is how it should be, it's only fair. However, it's my understanding that you don't actually have to be attending any of the events for dapper day.

The OP never said they couldn't afford it, they were just looking for the best discount.

No, you don't have to participate in DD to get the rate. I agree with Gisele, though, that it would be the fair thing to do. I use it myself because I am a DD fan and the rooms, IMO, should go to DD people. However, it is not (at this time) an event that requires any attendance at meetings (since there aren't any, other than some ticketed events that could not accommodate everyone). You only have to register through the website and that's it.

All Disney convention and event rates require that someone in the party attend or participate in the event. Lax enforcement does not mean that the requirement doesn't exist.

I never said the op had stated that.
Sometimes people are looking for the best discount because they otherwise cannot afford reasonably the cost of X.
Many people say they can afford X, but in reality cannot. As a result, they go in debt or deeper into it. No hotel is worth that in my opinion.

True, but in the case of Dapper Day, going to Disneyland is attending. There is nothing else you have to do other than register through the website because there isn't anything else, at least not yet.

This is absolutely true. I, myself, can afford it but refuse to pay full price because I think it's too high, so in my case (and I know I'm not the only one) I look for a discount for philosophical reasons and not because I can't pay.

Good for you. I am so happy for you. I am more fiscally aware than that.
