I agree with that. I still wanted and was extremely hoping for the discount though!!!!!! This stinks. Even 25% off of my Contemporary stay would have covered at least Thanksgiving night at AKL club level. That would have been extremely nice.
Don't worry, I don't think $400 per night rooms exist right now.. Looks like most of the Deluxe were excluded.I agree on the self-defeating mindset. I'm not one to threaten to cancel if I don't get my ideal outcome. After a short phone call to the Reservations hotline, I'm staying put at AoA. No availability at any other value (besides AoA family suites) for my dates, 12/1-12/5. Bummed? Sure. Was hoping to save a few bucks but it's better than the alternative. I know a lot of people who wait for those special offers before they book. I'd be pretty disappointed if I hadn't pre-booked and to find that the only available results are $400 a night, thus disqualifying me from a trip entirely. After this trip, I'll be sticking with my usual Fall Vacations
I guess wait and see if people start to cancel with the discount offerings that's not to their liking..... is 15% off supposed to impress me?
I've already got a call out to my travel agent. I'm dumping my dining plan, and may possibly switch hotels- to Universal- for my entire trip.
I'm pretty peeved about this.
Disney gotta make up for a bad summer, right? They can do it on someone else's dime.
I had tried to split my trip with Universal 2 nights Royal Pacific/2 nights Contemporary theme park view (apparently the only room category with restrictions that week), I would like to do Grinchmas at Universal and see the parade...plus, son is just now getting in to Harry Potter.
I'll take the 15%! I don't think they're making up for it, I just think that since most of the resorts are sold out there isn't any motivation for them to discount..... is 15% off supposed to impress me?

They got smart this year and waited for the resorts to fill up and then release discounts on what was left (not sold out). it would have been nice to get a discount but that's the breaks.
Do you think a large amount of people would actually cancel though?
I can't do the combo because I would loose the room altogether... Grinchmas looks really neat though!
I don't think they will cancel out. It would be nice but its no sweat to us. people might scale back MVMCP, character dining and dining plan. You can cut corners and be alright. I thought the crowd calendar would make it more expensive in December.
I would be surprised if people decided to skip MVMCP... it does have me rethinking doing 2 nights at AKL pre cruise though...I don't know if I can justify over $700 per night when I won't check in until 1-2am...I thought a room discount at the contemporary would ease my mind on that night. I may just cut it back to 1. If we arrive early...9:30am-ish, we can still go to the lounge, correct?
I think the parties will be packed. people will think they can walk on the rides. Word has it Disney sells about 20,000 or more tickets per night to those events.
I hope you're wrong!
