Originally Posted By MomofPrincess Shoot! I did make the reservation, but the lowest rate I could get was $221/night at Paradise Pier.

(We have so many things planned for those 3 days for my daughter's birthday - including Build A Bear and Club Libby Lu - so if I don't have to spend over $500 for two nights at a hotel, I'd rather not!) *sigh* I wonder how the other folks got the $169 rate? They quoted me $288 for DLH. Maybe because it's a weekend, huh? (And I agree! I paid $89/night back in January!)

Originally Posted By grumpster >>Just curious, what dates? I am amazed it was so much more when I called!<< I got mine at the $219 for the 26-28 of July. Could have done the 23-28 but the wife and kids wanted to split time between DLH and GCH.
Originally Posted By MomofPrincess Oh, okay, thanks! I am guessing weekdays are more reasonable then.
Originally Posted By MickeyMommy DARN, I'm sorry you missed those rates MomofPrincess! It gets tricky catching these rates. They will release a block of rooms at a discount, and they get snapped up so fast! But sometimes they will release more, so I would still check back every so often. I got the $219 rate for the GCH at the end of July also, but I called a few weeks ago. They are long gone now. But if the hotel doesn't sell out, they may release more discounted rooms. I hope so!
Originally Posted By tooele13 >>Just curious, what dates? I am amazed it was so much more when I called!<< We got it for Aug 24-27 (thursday-sunday). It was orginally booked for $325 a night with a city view. But I called about 3 weeks ago and they found AP night rates for $219 for a downtown disney view. So they changed our reservations with the new room and the new price. I was so excited about the $300+ savings.
Originally Posted By MomofPrincess Wow, tooele, that is an AWESOME savings! I'm glad you were able to get it! MickeyMommy, that's good information to know--thanks! I didn't realize quite how it worked. I will be checking back with them regularly, just in case. ;-) Thanks, everyone, for your help with this!
Originally Posted By raer When I called about the $219 GCH rate I was quoted $405 for an ap rate & I specifically asked about the $219 rate & then I was offered that for our trip 7/15 to 7/18. So when you call, be sure as ask for a specific rate.
