Very upset - Different discounts in Germany than in all other countries
I just had a look at the DLRP homepage for a possible trip in November. And I saw on the UK homepage that there are many 3=2 and 4=3 offers during the whole year; some are even during school holidays.
And so I entered a search for the following:
3 nights 4 days at the Sequoia Lodge in NOV mid week 2 adults
For Germany I got
692 (2 nights and 3 days would cost 528)
For France I got
528 (including 1night and 1 day for free. The same price as I would have to pay as German to stay 2 nights and 3 days!)
For the UK I got
372£ (470) (in the UK you also get the 1 night and 1 day for free and the other price difference is due to the conversion I assume)
Right after seeing this I called Disney and they said that this is true. The promotion department decided not to offer such special offers anymore. I am so upset about this. As I am from a country were they dont have special offers anymore I have to pay 164 more for the same stay.
This applies already for the whole year 2008. So it might have been that we would have had 1 night and 1 day free for our DLH stay in June.
I am so angry I will write them a complaint letter this weekend.
I have the feeling that they dont interested anymore in visitors from other countries then France and the UK because now the numbers have increase from 10 to 14 million.
This is great how Disney honors guests who have been there many times. They dont have to wonder why the number of German guests has decreased from 18% in the first year to 6% now.
