Originally Posted By MickeyMommy I have stayed at the PPH for $69 in a park view room. That was about two years before the 50th anniversary. Since then I have gotten rates around $89 - $139 there. For the DLH, the cheapest I have ever gotten was $89 about a year, or year and a half ago. Got alot of $119 there too. WHEN ARE THOSE RATES COMING BACK??!!! Ok, I'm alright now.....

Something like $119 for the same suite...?

Then last Feb and March, there were special Disney Visa rates for $129 or $149. They went so quick we never did get those. I watch the boards here and also mousesaver sometimes list the special rates. The best rates we have gotten without an Ap or the Visa, was on Expedia or Travelocity when they have the stay 4 nights and get the 4th night free. The great thing about those deals even though they are not as cheap as the other rates is that you can pick a view room. The only other discounts we know about are the AAA rates which are just 10% off but some people have gotten "senior" rates that are cheaper and I recently read about someone getting a special "travel" rate (they were not a travel agent but worked for another hotel) that was over 30% off! It is tough to get a good rate but I always book it and then just watch for better rates because they sell out so often now!

Originally Posted By nemopoppins As much as $179? Not bad. Our last time at DLH, we had to pay $280 or so for a second floor room behind the entry overhang thing in the Sierra Tower that didn't even have a full height window/door. They wouldn't even give a 10% AP discount because they had been booked for months and I was just lucky to catch a cancellation (I had called over and over and over hoping to catch one).

Not a 3rd rate rundown like when it was the Penny sleeper. Getting a hotel that was walking distance to the park for this price was unreal! I recommend Priceline absolutely!
Originally Posted By junglejoy Our best was Sept of 05 - AP rate of $79. We had picked different dates and I called to check on the AP rate.

We would have paid the $210, but enjoyed it all that much more because of the great rate! We've also gotten an AP rate of $129 (I think, it's been awhile) at the Grand (Jan 05). That was a deal too! I miss those AP rates...
