Always have a great stay at these properties.

Anyone know if there is still a pool addition taking place adjacent to the grotto pool to help with the new Reserve? Wasn't that a thing???

I mean. This wouldn’t be a discount Disney is offering would it? Wouldn’t this be a Marriott move?
Yet another indication of softness at the swamp.

Disney announced their early and late summer discounts months ago. These are immediate discounts tailored to entice locals and those that would be more inclined to take spur of the moment type trips.

Despite the talking points from Hugh G. Johnson indicating that bookings are improving (compared to what...who knows?) Resorts, Restaurants, and Parks are slow with no expectation of improvement. The tell on that - talk to CM and they'll tell you that hours are getting cut and PT aren't able to pickup shifts, and OT is scant.

These are AP discounts. The S/D/SR AP discounts are generally offered year-round, but they have been offered every August going back a long time. WDW's dining deal in late summer also goes back a long time.

I wouldn't read much into this offer.

Yes, to some extent, but both WDW and Universal always offer August/Early Sept discounts for 20+ years.

This isn't new or different from any other year. WDW is like Kohls. Never pay full price at Kohls or WDW.

The AP discount is also a year-round offer at S/D/SR. Though pricing at those are always dynamic.

Yeah I’ll meet you out front on say August 5th and take a look with ya?

I’m not “theorizing” from Ohio…I’ve seen it repeatedly. It’s just not a place where the summer crowd goes…guess these could more than just the heat, huh?

Been visiting during summer for quite some time. Can't even remember the last time the parks felt "too crowded" (for me), tbh.
Let’s see…

February…no
Dec/jan…not really
August…no
Last may…no
Last march…no


But don’t listen to me…I’m a “Disney hater”…remember? 🤪

(I am on ice from burnout…too much. No mas, senora)

The swan reserve was gorgeous, I'd never go to any other deluxe. The location is pretty much unbeatable and the pricing. I paid like $300 a night which was on par with POFQ
I really like the swolphin complex…the pool alone is fantastic

Don’t know if I love it when it’s 99 Everyday though…the walking near the lake can be a tad tedious
