What have you paid for a 2 bedroom?

[ErinC]

I was thinking of paying cash for one of our nights (Sat.) for a 2 bedroom at VWL. What kind of cash prices have you paid, or been quoted?

I know that one woman we met over Pres. week said she was paying $900 somthing a night. DH and I high-fived each other after she left. LOL!!

2BR rack rates for this year are:
$535 Value
$670 Regular
$810 Peak
$955 Holiday

We haven't paid cash for one yet, but member discounts seem to be around 25%, if they are available.

We paid $286 ap rate including tax for a 2-bedroom at OKW the weekend after Easter. It was 100 points for the Sat. night, so the money was good.

We didn't have to move, and the OKW staff did a nice job of linking the cash and dvc reservations. But remember that isn't necessarily so, and isn't guarenteed. One good thing is you get full housekeeping on the cash nights. I'd def. look at mousesavers.com, there shouldn't be any need to pay rack rates. The AP rate was better than the member services rate, fwiw.

Wow, great rate! I paid $301 incl tax AP rate for a 1 bedroom OKW on Friday May 7. That was about 30% off. Yours had to be well over 50% off. Ours was the last night of a 6 night stay, so the full housekeeping was nice.

We were at VWL over Mem'l Day last year, and inquired what the cash rate was - just for hahas. Can't remember the exact amount, but it was in the $900's. Thank goodness for our DVC!!

couldn't agree with you more! Some people are just plain old crazy with their money!!!! Why not join DVC?

A two bedroom at WLV runs from $555 to $1015 depending on the time of year and you might be able to get your 25% discount.

OUCH!
Thank goodness for DVC!

YIKES!!!!

How often can you count on getting a member discount on the room? How far out can they tell you if one will be available?

 

[gracelrm]

So where do you find the current AP rates???

Check here:

Right now they are only available until 8/28/04. You usually have to call for DVC resorts, they are rarely posted because non-members rarely book them. You call CRO for AP rates (407-W-DISNEY).

The 25% member discount would be through DVC member services, availability depends on occupancy levels. They only make the discount available if they anticipate the room will not be booked for points.

I just made a reservation for May 2005 and asked what the cash rate was at BCV for a 1BR and was quoted $338.00 DVC rate.
