Value Discounts

[Christine9125]

Trying to figure out why they are down on the Value Resorts next year?

Disney Visa Discount-40% discount on mods, deluxe and DVC-no discount for value

4/3 deal is 5/2 discount for value

AAA-10% not matter what season you go

I am happy with any discount count I can get, but it seems to me that they are not offering discounts anymore for the values-they are less expensive then the other resort.

Things must be booking up faster. Last year to was buy 4 get 3 free plus I think a $200 card .. perhaps a $100 ??? (Don't remember ... I had more than one room)

Big difference from Today's offer.

It is getting to be like the campground and not have as many discounts offered for them, whats next only deluxe have discounts?

I just think that they sell them anyway so why discount them? Also, if there is a discount on moderate rooms and value resort customers use them instead, in the long run they may come back to those and spend more $$.

I think it is because of the economy. People still want to go to DW and if their budgets are a bit tight they might well choose to downgrade their accommodations in order to be able to go.

These are interesting times and I would much rather see folks spend a bit less and not come home to huge bills that might be hard, or even impossible, to pay. It would suck all the fun out of a vacation.

I think values generally sell out the fastest even in a good economy. And probably sell out even faster now. They really just do not have to discount them as much.

Remember, discounts are just a tool to help fill rooms that are not being booked at full price. Maybe people have no problem booking a full price room at a value resort. I don't think Disney are "down" on the values, just no need to discount them as much as the other resorts. Before joining DVC we spend alot of time at the value resorts. We would rather spend 2 weeks at a value vs 1 week at a mod or delux. Since Disney houses maybe large groups of kids at the value resorts during the year, this helps them fill inventory here.

I think the only reason it wasn't 5/2 this past January at the values is because nobody thought of it. It's brilliant! How many people upgraded from value to moderate because of the extra night of savings? I know I priced it. It was $150 more for a standard moderate than a preferred value, but since I think the moderates are boring, we didn't switch. We like the Pop theming.
