Disney Club Fairytale Vacation Packages
Here's the deal in a nutshell: buy a 4-night package (room & Ultimate Park Hopper passes), get a 7-night package (room & Ultimate Park Hopper passes)! Yep, that's like getting 3 nights of hotel and tickets for FREE -- or to put it another way, it's about 43% off your room and tickets for a 7-night stay! The offer is for those checking into a Disney Resort from July 4, 2003 through October 30, 2003.
This is absolutely the most amazing offer I've ever seen at Walt Disney World, and Disney Club members get first crack at it! (A similar offer for the general public will be coming in the next few days.)
Plus, Disney Club members get an additional $50 off the package total for the regular package and $75 off if choosing the Silver add-on -- note that the add-on is at full price, so you still get the free room and tickets, but pay for the Magical Wishes.
It appears that this offer applies to all resorts, subject to availability. Some accommodations (such as campsites, suites, 2-bedroom villas and Grand Villas) may not be available with this package. A few sample prices for a 7-night package for 2 adults, including tax and insurance:
Caribbean Beach - regular season, standard room $1233.79
Animal Kingdom Lodge - value season, standard room $1479.07; value season, savannah view $1818.01; value season, concierge level $2487.07
Wilderness Lodge - value season, standard room $1479.07
Boardwalk Inn - value season, standard view $1880.45; value season, water view $2197.13
Polynesian - value season, garden view $1855.21
If you are staying for more than 4 nights but less than 7 nights, you still get some free nights, but needless to say, you might as well stay for a week since it won't cost you any more. Also, if you pay for 8 nights, you can get up to 6 additional free nights! See the chart below for details.
I really think Disney may sell out the majority of its resort rooms for 7/4/03-10/30/03 because of the Fairytale Vacation offer. There is going to be a huge advertising/PR campaign associated with this promotion -- and it's a great deal. For that reason, I have serious doubts that there will be many rooms left, even if "room only" codes and Annual Passholder rates offered during this time. I could be wrong -- but if you have the flexibility (i.e. you're not already an Annual Passholder) and you will be traveling during this time, I would advise booking a Fairytale Vacation Package NOW, while there are rooms still available.
The Fairytale Vacation Package is not identical with the full Dream Maker package, but you do get a keepsake character framed artwork with pin (one per room) in addition to your room and passes.
You must book by 6/29/03. Proof of Disney Club membership required at time of reservation and check-in. Terms: pay $100 deposit within 14 days of making reservation; payment in full required 21 days prior to check-in; cancel without penalty up until 5 days prior to check-in.
