What's the best rate you ever got on a Deluxe?

[minnie56]

I paid $99.00 per night for The Contemporary Resort December 2001 standard view and was upgraded to Tower.

December 2002 paid $109.00 per night for AKL standard view and was upgraded to pool view! I absolutley love this place!

NBA Goofy - How'd you get the $69 rate at the Swan for May? I'll be there around the same time you are and would love to get your rate.

My wife did it through Price Line. She put in Disney area resorts and I thank she said 4 star, and then we hoped for the best.

NBA Goofy - Thanks for the info. Seems like a number of folks are getting the Swan/Dolphin through Priceline lately. That is a fantastic rate! I'm still not so sure I want to do the Priceline thing for our Disney vacation, but the reward is certainly enticing! Enjoy your trip - we'll be there May 7-14.

Just booked the YC - standard view for $164+tax via the Shades of Green overflow rate - comes to $182 per night with tax. Beats the $333 per night rate I was given through CRO!

Also - got a free upgrade to a 1 bedroom at BWV a couple of years ago. AWSOME upgrade!

Just curious - we always stay in a value priced hotel, but someday, maybe the trip after this one, we'll splurge on a Deluxe. What's the very best rate you've ever had at a Deluxe?

The best rate that I have seen for a Deluxe (but did not book) is $109 a night plus tax for a standard view room at the AKL. Assuming that "best" means cheapest to you.

We just returned from a stay at the AKL Concierge and paid $277 a night including tax and thought that was a great rate as rack rate is $425 a night plus tax. So we saved about 41% off of rack rate.

$169 @ AKL for a savannah view in January 2002.

 

[MinnieGi]

$109.00 AP rate on standard view at AKL - then was upgraded to a beautiful pool view.

This was just last week.

You should also check into renting points from a DVC member. We're staying 5 nights in a studio at BCV for 140.00/night.

Best rate ever?

Are you ready?

Conteporary Tower, 2 rooms, $35 each.

We drove up the day after the park opened and asked if they had any cancellations!

I just called for a trip in Oct and it's $370!

I got 3 nights at the Grand for $0!!!

Back when the Cruise Line was just getting it's (sea) legs, they ran a repeat cruiser promotion that if you booked within 60 days of sailing and returned the following year, they would put you up in the Grand Floridian for the land portion.

So, we did the math and figured we'd not likely see something this generous from Disney ever again.

It was quite a nice stay and an even better cruise.

$99 Polynesian in February 2002 due to overbooked CBR. I'd love to have another deluxe rate like this again for our May trip.

 

[Soccer Princess]

Polynesian for $110/night With Tax in December 2002
We loved it!!!!

 

[Stepman]

this was back in '94, but we stayed at the dolphin for $74/night.

 

[wdwphanatic]

... for $69 a night (excluding taxes and fees) each for our May trip through Priceline! I was terrified to book this way, but took the plunge since it was only for one night. I am thrilled, as we'll be switching to BCV for the remainder of our stay and this will be so close by!

Happy trails,
Sarah

Got YC waterview concierge for $289 last November. Rack rate was $575 I believe.

 

[Tinkrbell]

I'll never forget the rate at BC when we were there in Feb. 2000 $329.00 plus tax!!! Whats worse is that it was in one of those rooms that were SMALLER than all of the others at BC (you can see it on the resort room map).

What a Ripoff!! This was pre-Dis days. I know better now.

My parents told me that was more than their mortgage payment/month!!

 

[madcoco]

$163/nt including tax for concierge at the WL over this past Christmas. Talked to some guests who were paying over $400. Did not dare tell them our rate.
