It sounds like it bothered you that I went to the website of the hotel that you posted about to see what you were talking about-so? I found different info-so?

Originally Posted By momof4boys >>>Do you have an AP? I'm not sure you can get much of a discount without one.<<< We don't have an AP now but would buy one if they come out with the really good AP rates. Right now we have AAA rates ( 10% off) which is the same as the basic AP rates, I think.
Originally Posted By wendebird FWIW, the group rate the week of dance nationals at the DLH is $209 a night. I think it's too high for the DLH, but I'm cheap. ;D The most I've ever paid for the Grand was $199 a night & that was a theme park view. ;D
Originally Posted By serendipityaey Keep an eye on the boards, I think rates come out a few months ahead of time. I'm not sure, but someone will post if they do. And it never hurts to call Disneyland I know we had to call a few times to get the rate we got in December, it seems different people have different answers, sometimes. It's a little early for August, but I say call as much as you feel comfortable with. If you don't mind calling every day, go for it
Originally Posted By MickeyMommy I know this is not a nice thought, but with the economy taking a hit lately, I hope rates at the DLR will ease down again. It was only a couple of years ago that AP rates at the GCH were $169, and PPH had AP specials of $69!!!! Those kind of rates are part of the reason we have been to Disneyland 30 times in the last 5 years. But the rates have been creeping up higher and higher lately. I would love to stay more often at the GCH, but when I checked AP rates for my sons birthday in February, the PPH was $139 and the GCH was $279. So Paradise Pier, here we come!!!

Also she gave out the name of that other hotel to show the different rates as did I ..and the advice she gave out to you regarding the two of you to be very good.
Originally Posted By SuzieQ Yes, it bothers me that you went to the other site. The soul purpose in doing so was to try to disprove me. It's like anything I say is so unbelievable to you, you have to double check me publically. As quincytoo said, the reason I even posted the other hotel name was to show that comparable hotels charge rates the same at GCH. My rate information came straight from my bill. The web site said starting at $159 when I reserved, too. But you couldn't get that rate. Many hotels around DL are the same way. A "starting" or "from" rate is not typically what people end up paying. Now, can we please move on? And NOT double check? That's what moves discussion over the line to attacking. jdurk - don't give up hope. However slight the chance may be. They ended up offering AP rates over the 50th Birthday a couple of years ago. The rates were released about 2 weeks prior.

It also costs more if you want a heater in the winter. They do, however, rent linens. I was looking at rates this summer, and the price was $131/night for the same tent.
Originally Posted By Disneyland Guest I do not understand where SuzieQ is coming from at all. Poster #3 says in his/her post "which is a good rate for that hotel."

But poster #7 Suzie Q answers dlkozy and throws another hotel in the mix that is completely seperate from what the subject matter is. When dlkozy checks into the website that SuzieQ posted-SuzieQ sounds like she gets her feathers ruffled and writes "But I'm pretty tired of this dumb bickering and checking of information. Especially on things outside of the scope of the topic" So, my question is *** SuzieQ if you are tired of the "dumb bickering" why are you doing it? And you are the poster who posted something "outside of the scope of the topic-so don't. DLkozy didn't start anything-. Throw in quincytoo and his/her comment "But so often it appears that you like attacking SuzieQ " and once again I don't understand because- Dlkozy didn't but SuzieQ did. Wasn't this topic about getting a hotel rate at the DL hotel anyways?

"****All hotels are that way. **"And NOT double check? That's what moves discussion over the line to attacking." Sorry-I don't take people's word for information, I always check the source-that does not mean it is "attacking"-it means I am careful.
Originally Posted By wendebird Disneyland Guest, I guess this is where we're all different. I think by comparing other hotel's price to DL's hotel is totally on topic. Maybe someone does think $230 is too much, but compared to other hotels, it's actually much cheaper & it's at a theme park! A Disney one no less. I see it as a comment that DL's prices aren't out of whack. It's like when I hear people comment how expensive food is inside DL. If you compare it to other theme parks, say Six Flags, DL is way cheaper & you have a better choice.
Originally Posted By Disneyland Guest ***" I see it as a comment that DL's prices aren't out of whack. "** And I see what Dlkozy's point was by posting what you GET with the cost of the room at the other hotel. Yes, they might be close in price but you GET so much more with it. DLR hotels do not come with much extra. ***Disneyland Guest, I guess this is where we're all different. I think by comparing other hotel's price to DL's hotel is totally on topic.** I agree-I was quoting SuzieQ's post "Especially on things outside of the scope of the topic.". She posts info and then doesn't want anyone else to discuss it.
