The money to pay Bob Iger to do absolutely nothing from 1996-2005 was

We made a last minute decision to spend Christmas at Disney. In the not too distant past, I most likely would not have gotten a room for Christmas week. Much to my surprise there’s plenty of availability in quite a few resorts. Yes they are pricey, but there are some good AP holder and Stay for the Holidays discounts available. After reading all of the insightful posts in this thread, it seems to reinforce the thinking that Disney has become way too expensive for a large segment of the people. And the room cost is just the beginning of the actual cost of a Disney vacation.

There were room discounts during the holiday week?? It was not that long ago when holiday week was rack rate period.

The occupancy is way down…all year but noticeably during “peak season”

I remember Christmas week 2015, was probably the only time I paid rack rate. And I thought it was worth it at the time, because I paid rack for a Contemporary garden wing room so I could walk to and from MK and avoid the transportation, lol. But, luckily for me, because it was one night before a stay at BLT, I got upgraded to a 10th floor MK view in the main building. So it was still a bargain relatively speaking.
