[n2mm]

we got the asmu sept19-23 and 1 day base tickets for 2 adults 1 jr free dining for 642.15 yeah yeah

Your quote is much larger than mine. Granted you had to buy one more ticket than I did, but we were only quoted $486 for 4 nights, 1 day base tickets, no insurance, standard room. Did you book a preferred room or buy the insurance. I had to tell the CM twice to take the insurance off, but it kept popping back on!?

 

[MScott1851]

Me...yuck. DH is laughing at all of us.

Sadly the New Family Suites At All Star Music are excluded from the free dining plan.

They are still a good choice at a resonableprice for families during a non promotion stay.

New Family Suites at All Star Music Resort

Several rooms at Disney’s All-Star Music Resort are getting an extreme makeover. They are being restructured to house the new Disney’s All-Star Resort Family Suites, set to open June 4, 2006.

The new family suites will offer an affordable and convenient option for larger families with the amenities of a studio apartment.

Guests will enjoy the whimsical music-themed details, along with modest rates averaging $204, based on season. Most rooms sleep a family of six. There is a limited amount of rooms available.

Families can be together in the suite while enjoying separate sleeping areas with added privacy. Having two bathrooms will not only save time, but makes getting ready easier for the whole family. Plus, extra amenities like a microwave enable guests to prepare warm snacks and meals. With the extra room, guests can relax and recount the memories of the day before falling off to a goodnight’s sleep.

52 Family Suites located in the Jazz Inn building
(192 suites upon completion located in Calypso and Jazz Inn buildings)

-Sleep up to 6 (plus one child under age 3 in a Pak-n-Play crib)

Is this for the standard room?, I got 1072.28 for same amount of nights same tickets, but 1 more child and preffered location.

This sounds about right if 1 more child and preffered location, is the difference.

 

[Aryn]

I got a standard room and no insurance. My total with insurance was 1112.00

ETA I was told that it was $38.00 per person per day for adults and $11.00 for children plus tax

I held about 12 minutes..

No standard rooms at WL for my dates, they did have AKL standard.

2 adults, 8 nights (September 16-24) at WL, woods view, 1 day tickets (no hopper...we have tix already) $2271.

Ouch...but it's WDW.

 

[MyGoofy26]

I called at about 10 and probably wasn't on hold for more than a minute and a half. LOL! Probably wasn't on the phone more than 10 minutes.

We decided to go "cheap" and get the most bang for our buck this time since I'm planning on buying into DVC later this year. Wanted to go down sometime anyway to do the tour and look around and talk to a guide, so this worked out. Couldn't bring myself to pay rack rate for a deluxe that I can get on points later this year, LOL. Debated long and hard and was set on staying POFQ again . . . until I started playing with numbers on the Disney site last night and realized how cheap an All Star stay would be. I just couldn't pass it up.

I just can't believe the deal that we got. We're just doing a long weekend 9/29-10/03. Two adults with one day base ticket(for now). Grand total? $486.42.

 

[Motherofboys]

I haven't booked through WDW before, but your package sounds exactly like what I am looking for (11 year anniversary trip!!). How much of a deposit was required?

 

[hawt1]

Less than 30 seconds on hold

 

[Henlady]

I was on "hold" for less than 2 minutes at around 9:45. Ressies at PO-R with free dining are made - signed - sealed and delivered!!!! I can't believe we are going again. We were there after a cruise in October, staying 1 night in June and now going for 4 nights in Sept. AND both of my brothers and wives may be going with us.
YIPPPEEEEEEEEEE

All the packages are $200 deposit, regardless of the total cost. It was SO nice to put that deposit down and realize I was already halfway to paying it off! LOL!

 

[magicmouse2]

Well after over 1 hour on hold this morning on my landline , I gave in and dialled on my cell phone , and could you believe got through in less than 5 minutes! The CM was quite new I think, but got me my ressie - 2 rooms at POP Century guarranteed connecting. I check in 25th September for 10 nights. My package including MYW tickets with waterpark option came to just over $3100.
