Edit: I think you could squeeze another $200-$300 if you pick cheaper dates for rack rates.
It’s unhelpful they dont breakout the pricing for tickets and dining discounts. I know dining is not really providing a huge savings though so. Any thoughts?
I think it would worth doing a comparison of booking the room separately, and purchasing tickets from UT or some such. The trick is being able to calculate the likely cost of food. They probably don’t want to show the price breakouts because it would allow people to do a direct comparison more easily…and find it isn’t that great of deal perhaps?
Then again…at the moment, Disney is really trying hard to bring the people in. Attendance has dropped dramatically, and they are financially in dire straits (not due to the parks…but the parks are effectively financing the rest of the company). So, they might end up pricing things well enough to bring people in? (I’m not convinced it is enough, but we shall see.)
Sometimes I feel like if Disney is “offering” something…they are the ones making out on the offer, not necessarily you! So…in that sense, Disney math works out perfectly…at adding to their bottom line!
I don’t need a room since I have a reservation on DVC points, but I ran the numbers just in case (assuming we would leave the room vacant). Not needing the room it makes it so the food cost is over $100 per person per day, which is more than twice what we spent on food for our last trip. Of course, if we were using the room this offer would be much more appealing.
I just got this email which shouldn’t they know their market. They send me surveys so should have me lumped in their database as people without kids 3-9…not to mention in My Disney Friends and Family…none of us are 3-9.
I want to point out, I think they should offer 3-9 for 50% off all year… they can only ride like 75% of the rides and can’t stay awake for all the park hours anyways.
Offer 1 = 3864.67 plus tax for dining plan which is not included here
I’m not sure how you’re getting the number you’re getting
I do see you haven’t added tax for the cost of the room
Oh but also: You don’t purchase dining by the number of nights you WANT you have to purchase it for your whole stay. Not optional. 6/15-21 is not 4nts but instead 6 nts and makes a big difference for the adult AND the kid plans
That probably accounts for the rest of the difference
