I called back last night and got the same quote for room only at POR. As others have said the cheapest room they had was Garden View. So when I re-run the number it is a 23% savings - sounds right. I'm still hoping to find something cheaper once it goes to GP and I can hunt online. But I did book it.

The discount is taken off the room rate before taxes. The tax rate is approximately 12.5%.

Our discount was taken off the rates listed on mousesavers.com which include taxes.

Without discount including tax total = $1,291.
With discount including total = $996 and change.

We had 1 night at Regular season rates, 4 at Peak season, and 2 were weekend rates so the discount averaged out to be about 23%.

So is SPD basically about a $40 per night savings for each adult? I know you cannot use RO if you arrive too early for the discount and have to book different reservations but what about SPD? If I arrive on 1/2 or 1/3, can I apply SPD to the reservation?

This SPD offer is for arrivals starting January 5, so no, you can't apply SPD with an arrival on January 2 or 3.

why am i seeing such a huge discrepancy in savings? I see some people saving over $1000 and some only saving $100 - what's up with that?

There's so many variations in dates, rates, resorts, guest numbers, dining plans, etc. etc., I think you really can only focus on your own plan and if a discount offer works for you.

The room only discount for deluxe resorts tends to be a big savings. Our daughter is saving $809 for a seven night stay with 30% discount at the WL, which is $115.57 per night. We are saving $574.09 for a five night stay.

I've seen a few comments on this now but there should be no difference if the discount is taken off "before" or "after" taxes.

For Example:

Room Rate $200 + Taxes 12.5% = $225


25% Discount on Room Rate ($200) w/out tax = $150 + Taxes 12.5% = $168.75


25% Discount on Room Rate ($225) w/ Tax = $168.75


No matter how you do the math you will come to the same answer.

Well that clears that up, thanks!

I had a WL dining 4 day park hopper package in February booked for $5600ish, and could book a 7 day WL package with 6 day park hopper and regular dining plan for $4768. A little over $800 savings. However, we went with room only military discount

Good luck to everyone trying to get their resorts!

how did she get WL for 115$ per night? i'll be trying to book for WL on Thursday morning and this price would be awesome

Ya, something doesn't sound right there. Now that is what I will be paying at a room at POR before taxes, with a TA, not Disney.

I think the poster is saying that the savings was $115 per night. That isn't the cost of the room.

 

[MichiganKris]

The $115 per night is the savings not the price they are paying per night at WL.

 

[SuzyQue]

how did she get WL for 115$ per night? i'll be trying to book for WL on Thursday morning and this price would be awesome

Maybe it was a misprint? The cheapest room rate at WL is $325 minus 30% would be $227.50 a night.

oops, was posting at same time MichiganKris was with the explanation.

I am pretty sure she was saying that the $115 was the amount of the discount taken off of each night not the actual cost of the room!

This SPD offer is for arrivals starting January 5, so no, you can't apply SPD with an arrival on January 2 or 3.

Would I then have to make 2 reservations or would they just apply it to the eligible dates?

You would have to make 2 reservations.
