Visa Room Rate Deal Hints at General Public Deal out Wednesday



By Dave Shute

Disney World Room Rate Deal from yourfirstvisit.netDisney Visa released a complex room rate deal for two periods, 8/16 to 8/28 at the values and moderates, and 8/29 through 10/3 at all resorts.  (Book through 8/8.)

As near as I can figure, here’s the savings it offers:

Value Resorts 8/16 through 10/3

  • 15% off All-Star Movies (not available 8/16 to 8/28)
  • 20% off: Family Suites at Art of Animation (10% 8/16 to 8/28)
  • 20% off: All-Star Sports, All-Star Music, and Pop Century (15% 8/16 to 8/28)
  • Excluded: Little Mermaid Rooms at Art of Animation

Moderate Resorts 8/16 through 10/3

  • 25% off: Coronado Springs, Caribbean Beach, Port Orleans Resort – Riverside and the Cabins at Fort Wilderness (20% 8/16 to 8/28)
  • 20% off: Port Orleans French Quarter (not available 8/16 to 8/28)

Deluxe Resorts 8/29 through 10/3

  • 20% off: Contemporary Resort, Beach Club Resort and Animal Kingdom Lodge savanna view
  • 30% off: Animal Kingdom Lodge (other views) Wilderness Lodge, Polynesian, Grand Floridian, BoardWalk Inn and Yacht Club

DVC Resorts 8/29 through 10/3

  • 20% off: Beach Club Villas, Villas at Animal Kingdom Lodge and Villas at the Wilderness Lodge
  • 30% off: Saratoga Springs, Disney’s Old Key West BoardWalk Villas
  • Excluded: Villas at the Grand Floridian, Bay Lake Tower

The percentage discounts are pretty low, so most families will do better with Free Dining. For a table of nightly free dining savings by family size and age, see this.

To figure your savings, look up the rates of your target room and dates here, and multiply by the relevant percentage.  That’s what you save per night with the room-only discount. Compare it to your free dining savings, and pick the bigger!
