    If they didn't want to discount so much, they should have thought about that 10,000 rooms ago!

    I have mixed feeling now. On one hand I want to say THANK YOU to Disney for getting rid of this and on the other hand I want to say "Bye" for the blatant greed Disney showed with this program.

    When I heard of this I wrote to Disney and told them they lost my business (like *I* really matter to THEM) and received a call back. I had an opportunity to explain in person my disappointment with the new policy.

    I wonder if they will contact me to let me know this ridiculous program is no more.



    As a side note:

    I just got back from a five day trip to Orlando and did not step foot on Disney. I stayed downtown for a night and then moved to I-Drive.

    We had two wonderful days a Universal and City Walk. I could easily see myself booking a stay here.



    Now that the best rate program is no more I will but an AP again at some point. I would have renewed if not for this policy - now ... I will renew at some point.



    (I missed seeing you Witches - sorry :(
