Do the mid range Walt Disney World hotels ever go on sale

Oct. is a great time to go, it is ';Value Season'; so rates are low. I have in the past gotten Package Deals but they may not be announced for a few months yet for the fall. Port Orleans Riverside is voted #1 by alot of people on this forum. There are some rooms that have an extra trundle bed, that can come in handy if the kids need a little time apart. I have stayed at all the Moderate Resorts and have enjoyed them all. I do think it%26#39;s worth the extra $. There are lots of extas compared to the Value Resorts.

Try dreamsunlimitedtravel.com for a free quote. I have used them many times with great results. Even after you book, they will keep looking for a Better Deal for you.

If you wanted to change the month, Aug 26 - Sept 22 is the Free Dinning Deal. You can read all about that at allearsnet.com or the disney sites. Hope this is of some help

Thankyou so much for that info..it%26#39;s our first time and I will check out that site..Thanks again

October is value season, so the chances that they have a room discount then are pretty slim. If you have AAA, call them, as they do have small discounts. Also, while you may not find a room discount, keep an eye out for free dining...they are runnung that every once in a while. Also, if you book through Disney itself, and they do come out with a discount or promo later, they will honor it on your reservation...all you need to do is call. Have a great time!

Hate to inform you all of this, but October is NOT value season at the Disney hotels anymore.

Value season runs out on Oct. 3rd and the rest of the month through the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday is considered ';regular'; season and is not the lowest rates.

Rates for most of the moderate resorts at Disney during October run $165 per night plus tax for a standard room, and $185 per night for a water-view room.

For a recommendation of a moderate, I love Port Orleans Riverside. Lots of amenities and a great main pool area. You can also ';pool hop'; over to the resort next door called French Quarter and use their ';sea serpent'; pool.

Here%26#39;s a list of the dates for each cost category:

Value Season: 1/1-2/14, 8/5-10/3, 11/25-12/19

Regular Season: 4/15-5/23, 10/4-11/24

Summer Season: 5/24-8/4

Peak Season: 2/15-4/14

Holiday Season: 12/20 - 12/31

Thanks for the up-date kat. Is my understanding of this still correct, as long as you Check-in by the 3rd of Oct. you will get the value rate for you entire length of stay ?

Partypa,

That%26#39;s the way it ';USED'; to work, but nowadays, I%26#39;m not sure. They seem to be getting more ';greedy'; on things like that.

I think the reason the free dining plan was cut short this year by a week was because you could literally be using it into October if you booked on the final day, etc. They shortened the free dining by a full week on both ends this year. This might be a sign that it won%26#39;t be lasting too many more years, but who knows.

Disney reported good earnings this past week, which means they are making more money and the ';demand'; for their services is increasing. Deals such as free dining tend to only be done during times of low demand.

I guess everyone needs to keep tuned to Bloomberg and wait for a downturn in their business cycle lol.

Thanks again..we might leave alittle earlier and get a few days of value season.............
