August – September Room and Package discounts

[Grumpy]

Travel Dates: August 9 – October 3, 2009

Disney World has release room discounts for the travel dates listed above, as well as Magic Your Way package discounts, based on the room only rates. Park passes and dining plans included in the packages are not discounted. Availability is extremely limited for many dates. Disney is also offering the free Disney Dining during many of these dates as well. Under most circumstances, the free dining will be better for you, unless you are staying at a deluxe resort, then it may be worth comparing the two.

Some Sample Nightly Rates:
Pop Century, standard room: $69 per night
Caribbean Beach, standard view room: $96 per night
Wilderness Lodge, woods view room: $174 per night
Animal Kingdom Lodge, savanna view room: $214 per night
Polynesian, garden view room: $264 per night

These prices are nightly rates, and do not include the 12.5% room tax. Disney has also released a club level discount for the same dates, also available as part of a Magic Your Way package:

Some Sample Nightly Rates:
Beach Club, standard view club level room: $299 per night
Polynesian, garden view club level room: $322 per night
Grand Floridian, standard club level room: $449 per night

Again, nightly rates, and they do not include the 12.5% room tax. You must book these discounts by August 8, 2009.

Yup, Free Dining is better for us. We are paying about $92 a night (which includes the tax) so the $69 + tax = like $78. So the room savings per night would be about $14. The Free Dining is worth about $120 a night (now that DD10 is considered an adult). I'll stick with the Free Dining. Now if they let you combine discounts, that would be nice!!
