Solo at a Deluxe Resort

[MyMuse]

I booked yesterday night.

4 nights at the AKL standard view room (Dec 12 - 16) with the DDP room rate is $149 per night and the 2 nights (Dec 16-18) AKL Club level - these were the only two nights of my trip available at club level. With the discount they were $207 a night - it was just too good a deal to pass up.

I have to admit it was the interior corridors, the restaurant availablility and the possibility of a king bed (and not having to book and pay extra like at the moderate) which pushed me over the edge.

Can't wait for my first solo trip in December!

Whoo-hooo!

If you can do it, I think it's a great idea. Have a wonderful time!

I stayed solo in a one bedroom villa at BLT last month, the next solo will be BC in early December, and the next one will be a FW cabin in late January. I'm one of those people who spends a lot of time at their resort, so the resort is very important. I also tend to think along the lines of "cheapest room in the best hotel" so I don't have any problem booking standard view instead of prime view. I also make sure I qualify for several types of discounts, i.e., AP, Fla res, AAA, etc., so I have a good chance of scoring a good deal. I base my resort decision on what I'm doing while I'm there, how long I'm there, and what I can afford at the time. If I'm going for one of the hard ticket events and just staying over so I don't have to drive home after, it's a lot different than when I'm staying 10 days or more.

Disney is charging a small fee for non-DVC members to use points, but it is still a great deal.

That quote is not true. Disney does not charge a fee if you rent points from a member. That is a transaction between the member and the renter and the financial terms are between the two parties. I've set up ressies for several family members and friends and have never had them charged a fee.
