What price have you paid for a room say in March?

[mhelsley]

I'm tring to get a ballpark figure so that i can judge how many days i can stay. I will have an AP but would be interested in Value,Mods, AKL,and the Epcot resort prices at that time of the year? I know the rack rates but most of us don't pay that price.

I can't help with March but we stayed end of April to May at OKW in a 1 br for $99 per nite!

I've gone in March the last 4 years and had to pay rack rate. Because of all the Spring breaks, Disney is very busy at this time. They did have annual pass rates of: POFQ -110.00, AKL -166.00, WL-166.00, and POP -80.00. These were all standard rooms. Can't believe I still have my notes on last trip!! I didn't buy the annual pass because we wanted to get the dining plan.

This year we stayed February 25-March 4 at Port Orleans Riverside for $150/night. That was the AP rate. It was $99/night for the values. Those are the only resorts I looked into,

about 66% off rack rates through hotwire.

One year we paid $84 for POR in March with an AP rate. Last year I think we paid around $135 a nte with AAA. We've also paid in the $200 a nte range for WL.

This year we stayed February 25-March 4 at Port Orleans Riverside for $150/night. That was the AP rate. It was $99/night for the values.

We stayed in a non-preferred room at POFQ at the beginning of March. I believe we paid around $139 for a non-preferred room. I can't remember if that included tax or not. I'll have to go back and look. We scored some great rates on rooms over Christmas, but the high prices we paid during both our fall and spring breaks has meant that we've spent far more on WDW rooms this year than we ever have before. Oh, well. It's still a pretty good deal.

In March '06 we had a Mod, I forget which one,for $148 before taxes, etc., but switched to Swan at $175 on the Teacher's Rate. For March '07 we bought points from a DVC member and got a BoardWalk Villa Studio unit for 9 days at $164 per night and that's total cost, there's no tax or fees on that.

I'm also renting points at that time (BWV studio Mar.5-9). I'm looking for rooms between my DVC rentals and tring to figure out how many days i can afford to see if i can add days at the end(cheaper airfare with better times plus more disney days). Can't wait to spend my birthday with the mouse.

Melinda,

We're also looking for somewhere to stay the last 2 days of our 11, preferably Swan or Dolphin. This March I arranged for an informal gathering of DIS members at the Rose & Crown and I'll probably be doing the same for next year. Here's the trip report for that day:

I'll be posting on next year's get together near the end of 2006 if you're interested.

Let me know i'll be at the World March 5 to at least the 16th and maybe beyond. The S&D is an option as i'd like to stay in the Epcot area but didn't like the way i was treated in '04 at the Dolphin so not the top choice and if i do i'll be tring the Swan. This would only be for 2 days until my next DVC stop. I'm rethinking adding on a couple days as i'm going solo and it would be nice to get back and spend the weekend with DH plus just found out my SIL is due to have a baby around this time. Well this should be interesting my niece is due either before our during our Xmas disney trip and then his/her's aunt will be born in March. Now my family isn't looking so crazy after all.
