Too Soon For 2005 rate watch thread?

[AlexandNessa]

For the love of pete, can't they at least release APH rates for January and February?! (We can't wait to go back!)

I just called about Ent rate (don't have AP). I was told to call back later in the month. Judging by the posts from last year this time, the best way to go is just to start calling at least once or twice a week. I'll watch this thread daily and will definitely post IMMEDIATELY if I get something. My dates are March 16-19 and I am checking for RPR. We have ressie already at 210 for two of the three nights(that's AAA) but last night is Fri night and they didn't give discount for that night. Basic rate was 234 for first two nights, 264 for Fri night.

Just got an AP code EWV for January.
All Starts/Pop $49
Moderate $79
AKL/SL $109 standard view (pre tax figures)

ibouncetoo - If they have those kind of rates in March/April - I could say at AKL and take a limo to US/IOA every day and STILL save money...what are those people at US/IOA thinking!

Just thought I would let you guys know that it looks like Hotelkingdom is having a sale right now - not sure of the dates, but it may be worth a look!

We're going early May and reserved at PBH with AAA rate (243 bay view)- just checked and the FAN rates are now available for our time, but they're higher than AAA (258 bay view). Just wanted to let folks know that some FAN rates have been loaded

I didn't see any APH rates for RP. Let's hope they are in soon. AND LETS HOPE THEY ARE GREAT!

My GUESS is they won't be quite that low....what with all the school spring breaks and Easter...but you never know.

When I called CRO this morning, I got AKL or WL for $121.66 including tax...standard view. Now we just need to decide (quickly!) which one.

I can't get the FAN rate to come up for ANY dates I try...early Jan, Feb, and May...??? What dates did you put in?

 

[d4est]

I just checked hotelkingdom.com and got a rate of 199.79. With taxes it is 220.21/night. This was for 2/21-2/26. Strangly, 2/24 was for 199.78...a PENNY difference! Funny...strange....

Anyhooo, I didn't find it to be much of a bargain, unless FAN or ENT rates never come out. Right now I have the AAA rate of 210. Of course, this is without taxes, so in the end, I may just cancel my ressie and go thru hotelkingdom. Hopefully something cheaper will come out soon....

It is blowing my mind right now, that I may be spending over 1,100 dollars just for a place to lay my head for 5 days!

Could you explain your dates, what code and what Disney Phone Number you used for $122 WL rate?
Very interested!
"thanks!"

d4est,
I was having the same problem with online reservation system. Everyone was talking about discounts on the UO online reservations, but I could not see any. I eventually got discounted rates to appear. Here are my observations:
1) even if you try and make reservations from the lowes site. Do NOT enter your lowes first card number at the screen where you enter the dates of your reservation. For some reason, when any value is in that lowes card number box, only rack rates are listed.
2) Other than AAA promotion code, I have not seen other discounts in 2005 yet. Example of AAA discount try HRH for March 16. Example of FAN discount, try HRH for Dec 16.

I hope this helps,

d4est -

I am with you - after checking the Loew's website, I realized that Hotelkindom's rate was only about a dollar lower than the internet rate Loew's is offering right now, which is about 15% off according to Hotelkingdom.

I know I only paid around $125.00 for RPR last year at this same time period, so to spend sooo much more a night is killing me! This was supposed to be the "bargain" part of our trip so that I would feel better about the outrageous rate I am paying at the GF in WDW.l

 

[tylerbug]

Has anyone tried checking Loews for there dates and getting the 20% 4 days or more ????I checked my dates february 13-17 it is offered, however, I tried a few other dates and did not see it.......this rates appears a little cheaper than AAA

 

[BriarfoxinWA]

I checked this morning - no luck on any discounted rates. The only AAA rates for my dates (3/30-4/2) are for club suites and are over $500!

[bjakmom]

Called this morning - still no discount rates and res clerk even commented that it's unusual they are not out by now.

 

[Dad of 3]

Called today and no ENT discounts for March 2005 at HRH or RPR. The attendant said that the discounts have not been loaded yet. Today is a significant day as it was Nov 17, 2003 when the ENT discounts were loaded for 2004. Hopefully they will be out soon.

 

[pathubia]

We are getting there, the FLO (florida resident) rates were loaded today....Maybe tomorrow....
