Is this because you booked prior to hotel rate increases, so now even the discounted rate is higher than what you have?
That's my best guess. I booked in April, and I'm guessing sometime between then and now they quietly raised prices once they got a better idea of when the Skyliner was opening.
 


Anyone know why they excluded the first couple weeks of november? Thought that would be a dead time, going 11/4-11/10.

well, it is just excluded for Free Dining - there is the room only discount for them. I have been wondering why no free dining from late Sept into mid November, and only thing I can think of is Food and Wine and the impact people with dining plan have on that (using snack credits at booths). No idea if that is why but can't think of anything else as to why one but not the other discount

Yeah, sorry meant the dining part. And I know seems weird that they are not included. The room only option is actually more expensive then the deal we have now for Coronado Springs with tickets...I would assume the F/W most likely as well, but still I feel like last year it was included.

If I'm not mistaken, similar time-frames have been excluded from free-dining the past few years. It wasn't available for my late October trip in 2017 (all of October and first week or so of November were excluded) and most of October was excluded from free-dining in 2014.
 
I find it interesting that while I haven't been able to get a Passholder discount for my dates at AoA Little Mermaid, the general public discount is an option, and it is actually HIGHER than what I am currently booked at. Some discount, huh?

They did increase room rates this year, can't remember exactly when. I don't know that it was Skyliner based. I feel like they were just raising the rates on hotel rates in general. If you made any changes to your existing reservation it would cause the new rate to be charged.
 
Are we seeing the very first time that Art of Animation, Little Mermaid rooms are included in a Special Offer??

That's the thing. It shows that I can pick the Fall & Winter general public discount, so it's out there for LM rooms, it's just that compared to what I booked originally, it's not a discount, it's actually higher. I'm still crossing my fingers though that other people will move some things around and I can get a Passholder rate, because that's really what I had my eye on. We could switch to Pop and get one, but I really had my heart set on a LM room.

I know on the Dreams show about 2020 packages the one thing they noticed were that LM rooms seemed to really see significant price increases - I know this is 2019 not 2030 but maybe the did just see a price increase after you initially booked?

Hope something works out for you in the end

Now that POP and most of ASMo has been renovated I can't see raising the rates on the LM rooms so drastically. I get the theming is good, but the rooms are so far away and only have double beds so they really don't justify their price point comparatively.
