So I guess no room discount deals?

[acarsme123]

Normally deals would have been posted by this time for March spring break time frame. Guess that’s not happening this year?

Discounts have been coming out much closer to travel dates recently.

I was sure there would be something for fall, but there's been nothing. I wouldn't count on it.

I keep hoping for something.. anything to be honest would be nice.

Discounts are used to help fill empty rooms. Disney like most other travel related industries is still trying to determine how long it will take for things to recover from covid. While staffing remains a concern, they likely can't open every hotel to full capacity. Even when they offered discounts in the past it was only for certain hotels/room categories and dates.

 

[acarsme123]

they’ve released discounts for the following March in October the last few times we’ve gone for Port Orleans. But I figure maybe demand is through the roof for the 50th so maybe they don’t feel the need this year.

Discounts on what? It would be a discount for Disney to actually release some value resorts at rack rate.

 

[acarsme123]

maybe I’m having amnesia, but I’m pretty sure every time we’ve stayed at PO during spring break time frame, we’ve gotten it for under $300/night. Now I just paid over $300/night for it. They always used to have lower rates come out in October for the next March booking period.

Jan through April discounts used to come out sometime between the end of September to the end of October. You are correct.

There's a few watch threads in the Discount Code sub-section.

Waiting for a late-January discount myself. They're usually out by now.

Right now I think Disney is waiting. They will offer discounts only to fill rooms. The discounts of the past and the codes are I think ... more than likely ... of the past. If they do resurface I anticipate they will be less. Keep in mind the new "rack rate" is higher so if you that is the case the overall cost, even with discounts will be higher.

Yes. We got our YC discounted room in July for mid August. With the discount we switched from CR Destino Tower to YC Garden View for just a little more. But it was still more than we have ever paid for a YC Room that time of the year.

I’m still waiting for a November/December discount

Agreed, sadly.

Pent up travel demand + 50th celebration + already booked rooms = minimal incentive to provide a discount.

I just paid $350/night for POR for 3/5 thru 3/12 and it's not even spring break. Did you get $300/night from the regular portal?

They said they didn't get it for under $300, they paid over $300 which is exactly what you can say.

Me too. They put out one that is exactly when we are going in December but only for AP

Yes I seen that. I was hoping they would release it to the public.

What is "rack rate" these days.....

What is "rack rate" these days.....

I'm paying $271 (weekday) to $305 (weekend) for POFQ in November. I had hoped for a Fall Discount but tbh at this point I'm glad I booked in for what I did, since there is so little availablitiy and no discounts.

Although funny enough those discounts sites keep popping up on my socials with discounted rates, not much of a discount but some, however I don't use 3rd party booking so I just ignore them.

The 'Rack Rates' I've seen even for Values is crazy right now.
