Works for me. I could've saved $273 on an existing booking - or for $50 upgrade the room (at Animal Kingdom Lodge) to a Savannah View. I chose the latter. 
Taking advantage of the ticket special would've netted me a fourth day for only $13.62 more, but the first/last days are already earmarked (see what I did there?) as resort/'Springs days. If they didn't expire like in the good ol' days it would've been a no-brainer.

I'm just comparing with last year. We were fortunate enough that my in-laws got a pin code that I think gave us 25 or 30% off with free park hoppers. Without a similar discount I don't even know if we will go. Even staying at POR will cost more than my week at the Boardwalk last year.
Last year my trip was $3880. This year it prices me at over $4500

I wonder if Disney thinks Pandora is going to bring in the crowds so they don't need bigger discounts. Thats a big bet on glow in the dark plants.

Disney suffered last summer between the massacre at pulse, aligator baby, the dismal embarrassment of rivers of light, the poor reviews of night time safari. This year, they have more things to promote and im positive they are banking on pandora to fill the rooms

TRUE! and I like it there a lot. Still way less than it's normal discount and not many room avalible. I can see this being the new norm, not many discounts.

I was looking earlier and standard view rooms at Dolphin Memorial Day Weekend are at about $275ish a night - including all taxes and resort fees. I was surprised. If you have AAA you can get a room for $262/night including tax and resort fee ($208 before fees and taxes) - and it is the holiday weekend.
I'd have to choose there over any mod regardless of the discount. I probably would take it over a Deluxe discounted room.

So we ended up booking WL for August, mainly because we are weak
Much like @jlevin we also had the code discount last year which gave us free PH upgrades. Normally we would do the bunk bed rooms at the WL, but with 15% off instead of 30% off, we downgraded to just the standard view room with 2 beds. Still more than last year by a decent amount.
Really hoping this isn't a trend, but I have a feeling it will be.
