Ugh! Disney's New Website

[scanne]

I'm trying to get an "idea" of what my 2005 trip will cost by looking at prices for room only for the same dates in 2004. Well, on Disney's new website, you can't specify what view you'd like. They pick it for you. So I was only able to find out LV concierge at the Polynesian, GV at the Polynesian, Main Bldg. Concierge at the GF and Tower concierge at the Contemporary.

First of all, I knew that concierge would be $$$, but $585.38 a night?!?!?!?!!? Come on! That's over $200 more a night than a garden view room at the Polynesian. I can see $100 more, but not $200 more. That is NOT worth it to me.

I really wanted to find out the cost of a tower room at the Contemporary that is not concierge, but I couldn't get it to come up with that. I think I will definitely use Dreams Unlimited again b/c I got such great service!

Anyway, just wanted to vent. I guess I should plan on at least $300 a night based on that GV room at the Polynesian. Hopefully, there will be AP rates, a special deal like the Fairy Tale package from last summer or better yet, maybe we'll be living in Tampa by then and there will be some Florida resident rates. It is a year and a half away, but I always like to know how much to plan on saving.

Are you sure about that? I used it a couple of weeks ago and had no problem. Maybe that is all that is available for the dates that you were looking at.

I was having that problem too. I finally clicked on an "offer" and at the bottom of the new screen they have a small drop down menu that you can change the view.

Yep, I know what you mean. They make this not so appearant to do, but with each resort, there is like an "edit info" or something button beside like a reserve button (I think) - anyways, if you hit edit, it'll take you to a page with a room description on it, and there will be a drop down menu with all the available room types. It seems that they always come up with the concierge view room first, then you have to go in and change to garden or whatever.

I can really appreciate your dilemma. I've been trying to find out where ANY of the accessible rooms are at ANY of the resorts so I can do a little vacation planning myself.....
According to Disneyfolk, "We don't give out that information"


Hmmm, makes me want to say a few quite un-Disney-like things......
