10 years later the 2007 prices were not that far out of line with the 1997 concidering 10
years has gone by.
And yes, that statement is JMHO
 

1974 - Polynesian $35.00 per night

:eek: Wow! Can't even go to a hard-ticket even for that amount now.

I was just surprised how much prices had gone up in just five years. We were paying $88/night whereas those same rooms during that same timeframe would be $149 (+/-). The rate has almost doubled in five years.

Talking about hard tickets, I think they have gone up in percentage more than the rooms. I remember buying a pre EPCOT commemorative ticket good for 3 days for $30! That was the entire price for the three days for an adult and a parkhopper. Well all tickets were park hoppers until recently.
 
I wish I could get a $35/nt rate at the Poly!!!


1999 & 2000 -- Yacht Club Concierge Level -- in Oct (value season) with AP discount, we paid $189/nt.

My DH was getting faxes from work, and at the end of the pages, they accidentally included the list of who was staying in concierge that night & prices that were being paid! We had to peek before we returned it. There were people up there paying either $89 or $99 a night (CM discount & conventions) and people with the same kind of room we had paying around $350/nt.

I wont go there without some kind of a deal!
 
I remember paying $103 a night for the Poly in 1988 for our 10th ann. and we thought that was high.
