With the current % Room Offer running out next sunday March 27th, do we think we might see something else Monday the 28th?
Anyone with inside info.?

My room only discount had to be booked by the 28 of Feb., it was 30% off values, 35% off mods and 40% off deluxes, 45% off vlillas. We are staying at a value for three days and switching to our favorite moderate for the remaining 4 days and saving a boat load of money. We have never done the DP, even free dining, cause it doesn't make any sense to us to use it. We eat smaller meals several times a day, my husband is a diabetic and all the stress of walking more than usual makes him require small meals, more often. Put that together with the fact that we are not uber planners and would feel restricted to a park because of a dining reservation in a few hours and it would be less enjoyable to us. I am just happy to have a plan to go!I actually think I threw out one too. Why'd you choose the room discount instead of the dining plan? I've done the math for my trip and it seems to be much cheaper with the free dining. But others' trips could come out better with room discount, I guess.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it be better to make reservations now to get locked in on a cheaper room rate, and then change to free DDP if it is offered at a later date?(If one would rather the DDP than cheaper rate)
I'll take the % off... free dining is useless to me, sorry... but the food at WDW isn't that great people!

I'd take the room only discount too, but even if you don't care for the food at WDW, you still have to eat.
FTR, I think the majority of food at WDW, with the exception of fast food, is excellent.
:lol: Yes, can agree with ya a little on this, but when you have newbies and children with ya, the atmosphere in some of the eateries make up some of the difference...but not all!![]()
Locking up a reservation now will in no way guarantee that you will be able to get a discount at that exact resort you have booked at. If it does anything it will actually slightly increase the chances of that resort or dates being blacked out. All of Disney's promotions are based on booking rates. If they are coming in short of those rates they will offer a promotion of some kind. If they are not they will not offer a promotion or will black out a particular resort and/or dates.Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it be better to make reservations now to get locked in on a cheaper room rate, and then change to free DDP if it is offered at a later date?(If one would rather the DDP than cheaper rate)

That is pretty much what can happen. I had that happen to 2 clients last year.Can attest to this, happened to me. Already had a reservation, wanted to switch to a different promo. No go. A room wasn't available for that promo so I either paid more to stay where I really wanted to or I could use a code and stay somewhere else and save a bundle. Hmmmm.![]()
