Just applied the discount to my package. Saved $417. Not as much as last year, but I'll take it.

Just knocked off $340 from my parents' room only reservation at WL!

I had booked the special they offered in June hoping to change it to a July/August deal later. Travelling June 8th - 14th currently. I was pretty sure that it was the same discount they are offering for summer travel now. Though now, when I try to price my ideal vacation in late July - August, it is nowhere close to being the same price or cheaper than what I have booked already for June. Am I missing something here?

Most of the people here are giving us the savings off of their previously booked non-discounted trips. We moved our package vacation from June which was booked under spring discount to July under the summer discount and saved a whopping $10! But for the portion of our trip that was room only we saved considerably simply because we were able to price many more options and choose the resort that was more appealing; availability for original dates was very tight.

Well we changed resorts... We are stay CL at WL & saved $960 & my In-laws saved $795. They would have saved more if they had stayed at AKL but we wouldn't have saved very much. So we switched!

Thanks. What I booked previously was a special offer. It was the special they were running for up to 30% off if you booked by March 15th for travel through June 14th. I booked for the last week possible with this special. I did book a value resort, which was only 15% off I believe. Ideally, I was hoping for a special that I could travel in late summer, which you think would be cheaper based off their charts. When I price the same trip now, with the later weeks, "summer special" is showing, but the price is higher than the June one I have already booked. Both show Pop Century being 15% off, so I am just trying to figure out if that is the case, why would the price not be the same. It is not in a pricier timeframe or anything. Maybe I should call

Definitely call. Online/website info is not always accurate.

Good Luck!

The summer discount for room rates values is lower than the spring offer.

The spring offer for dates April 2 through June 14, 2013 had 20% room rates for All-Star Sports, All-Star Music, and Pop Century. The current summer offer is for 15% off room rates at these three resorts.

The other factor is that both offers include some kind of ticket discount too (not specified what it is, you have to do the math) if you book a Magic Your Way package. That portion of the summer offer may be a smaller discount too.
