Out of curiosity, I looked up a week in July and see rack rates of over $600/night for a Cars family suite and over $190 for All Star Sports. Saratoga Springs is close to $500/night for a Studio. POR almost $340/night

On the UK site, I just looked up 7 nights in early July at All Star Sports, there is currently a 15% "discount" in play but even with that it's £153 per night for a standard room. Which, at today's exchange rate, is about $5,000?

Actually, it's about $198. So rack rate without that discount would be $233. So our discounted rate is the same as your rack rate. Beach Club (resort view), with 25% discount, is £438/$568, rack rate would be $757. I've got a holiday booked at Coronado Springs (village) in the first week of December with a "two nights free" offer, and it averages £225/$292 per night, would have been £300/$389 without the deal.

OK, it looks like the current $99/night value resort room offer is almost identical to the middle-of-the-meltdown offer they were running in late spring 2009 (via Mousesavers and the Wayback Machine):

$99 in 2025 is the same as $66.41 in 2010, so we're within a small coffee of those prices.

The 2009 deal didn't include July, and some dates noted above were excluded. The fact that this deal covers the July 4 holiday seems unique. I could be wrong.

I don't think Americans have the budget for the kind of "buy 4 days get 4 free" ticket deals we saw back then.

If we get to the point where Disney's discounting 2- and 3-day tickets for the general public, I think we'll be in uncharted waters.

This new, current D+ offer is a lot more restrictive in what resorts and types of rooms are included compared to the 2019 offer.

Interesting that the AKL discount this time is for Savanna-view rooms. Seems like a good deal, so I booked it.

As much as Disney claimed they weren't worried about Epic, they clearly are. Plus the summers have been getting slower over the years, as it is hard to really enjoy yourself when it is so blistering hot and humid. I think more people are just choosing to go during other seasons.

What did Iger say about Disney’s lack of a response to Epic Universe?

Iger said:

“That couldn’t be further from the truth,” he said. “I want to remind you of a few things.” Iger went on to list major projects and expansions at Disney World over the past 5-6 years, including Pandora — The World of Avatar and its two rides in Animal Kingdom; Toy Story Land and Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios; the EPCOT Transformation including the opening of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and Moana Journey of Water; Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Hollywood Studios; and Tron Lightcycle/Run in Magic Kingdom.

Just about the first month has sold out at Epic Universe. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the summer sells out. If that many people are visiting Epic and Disney is still having to do all these discounts there is a problem.

Those visiting Epic aren't just coming to Orlando for 1 day and going home.

As I recall, I read somewhere that Epic is projected to bring in 2 billion for their first year.
