Shocked by weekend rates!

[jkjs]

WOW! A lot changes in three years.

We just returned to Disney after a three break and purchased APs to enable future visits.

Just checked AP rates for before Christmas and was shocked by the weekend rates.

POR is about $140 per night Sun - Thurs but then jumps to over $200 for Fri and Sat nights so it looks like no discounts for those nights.

Is this a new policy?

Thanks!

I'm not sure what dates you are looking at. For Nov 24 to Dec 20, a standard room is $169 weekday, $184 weekend.

We were on the Disney AP site looking at rooms for either the weekend of Dec 15/16 or Dec 22/23.

Well, holiday season starts on 12/21, and those are the highest rates of the year. Peak crowds, peak rates.

Bizarre! Makes no sense why the AP rate for Fri and Sun is higher than the base rate.

I just checked again. Through the Disney Passholder site, the POR rates

Dec 13: 139
Dec 14: 214
Dec 15: 214
Dec 16: 139

At the regular Disney site the POR rates are

Dec 13: 179
Dec 14: 194
Dec 15: 194
Dec 16: 179

At the Special Offer rates for POFQ is

Dec 13: 170
Dec 14: 184
Dec 15: 184
Dec 16: 170

Take a look at the link DebbieB posted. Disney started offering different rates for weekdays and weekends a couple of years ago.

The only rooms available with the Ap discount are the royal rooms. These rooms are priced higher. Your not comparing apples to apples. Your looking at three different rooms types. That's why the price is higher.

plus the special offers for POFQ are kinda deceptive when compared to the other moderates. For the latest room only offer, POFQ is only 5% off when some other moderates (like POR) are 25% off. Disney has started to only discount less popular and less booked resorts rather than just giving a general percentage per resort category (value, moderate, deluxe). so just like PP, not apples to apples comparison.
