SW airlines offering 'special rates' at WDW resorts--good Poly deal

[BedKnobbery2]

Got this in a Southwest email offer. The only "real" deal I see here is the Poly rate....the rest appear to the be the standard rates for the value season. Hope it helps someone. I have no idea if you can book via CRO with this code, or only on the SWA site. Here's a link to the website, from which you can make reservations. Ressies must be made by 9/23 to get the special rates:

Here are the rates they are offering:
Featured Walt Disney World® hotel properties include:

Disney's All-Star Sports Resort - Rates from $55 per night.
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside - Rates from $85 per night.
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge - Rates from $119 per night.
Disney's Wilderness Lodge - Rates from $119 per night.
Disney's Fort Wilderness Cabins - Rates from $139 per night.
Disney's Polynesian Resort - Rates from $179 per night.
Walt Disney World® Resort is offering special rates at all on-site properties. Please see the terms and conditions for all of the Walt Disney World® Resort properties.

I did a quick search for a random weekend (December 6-9), and the ASSp, POR, FW, and PR held true, the AKL rate was $159 & WL was $239.

Those prices seem to be in line with the codes Disney has been offering and they are available on the WDW website, the date to book by is the same as well. I guess WDW is trying to branch out a bit by utilizing the airlines customers.

Thanks helen! I figured that was the case, but thought perhaps WDW was 'blocking' off some rooms for SW to use....so I thought I'd post just in case someone needed it!
