What is the best room deal you've ever gotten?

[ElleBelle]

Thanksgiving of 2001 we actually won an all-expense paid trip for 6 (5 days/ 4 nights) 2 rooms (Magic Kingdom view) at the Grand Floridian, park hoppers, airfare, spending money, and a bunch of extras. Our name was chosen out of a box during the channel 6 ABC Thanksgiving day parade (Philadelphia area). Definitely by FAR one of the coolest things that has ever happened to us.

We ended up taking the trip in May of 2002 and extended our stay for four additional nights at the WL- we had gotten a postcard in the mail with a special offer if we took the DVC tour while we were there. I believe the rate was for $109/nt per room. Needless to say, it was one of our best vacations EVER.

Disney called us a day before we were to leave for our stay at All-Star Sports in 1995. They said they overbooked and were upgrading us to the Yacht Club for the same price as the value! I wish I would have booked more than 4 nights!!!

AKL Savannah view during Christmas 2005 $175
Poly MK view Mothers Day Weekend 2007 $300

So far, our best deal will be in a few weeks when we go with the free DDP. With 5 of us staying at the POR and my one son being "adult" price, 5 day hopper passes and tickets to MNSSHP we are paying a little under $3000 for 8 nights. I think that's a great deal! I hope to do bounceback again once we are down there.

Some of you guys have really had luck on your side!!!!
I've been able to get a few really good deals. Couple were cast member discounts. (all these include tax)

Oct '99..... CBR $66/night and OKW $127/night.... cast member
June '00 ...... Beach Club $163/night.... also CM
Oct '01 ...... All Star Movies $55/night..... code

The last few years.... I've gotten good discounts, but nothing phenominal.
Here's hoping next June's trip will be lucky!!!!

We were lucky and had a convention rate (I mostly played instead ) at CR and Poly in July for $154 per night.

In 2005, we shared a 2br at OKW with another family. The boys slept on air mattresses in the living room. We had "free dining" (with appetizers and tips!). Rather than free dining, I prefer to think of it as about $150/night for the 2br.

Back when you could get a Magic Kingdom Club discount, we got PO-FQ for $85 per night and the Beach Club for $184 a night. We got the Swan with a teacher discount for $154 a night and loved the location (overlooking DHS) but really didn't like the atmosphere of the resort.

Back in 2003, my Mom,son and I were booked for POFQ for 6 nights. Same as the OP, they closed for refurb and they offered us the Poly for $150.00 more than we paid total for the entire 6 nights!! I figured that the difference between the POFQ and the Poly was actually over $150.00 PER NIGHT- I couldn't believe that deal (I guess I'll never see a deal like that again!)
