Another Change

Walt Disney World 2008 Package Changes continued...

Also starting in 2008, season changes/nightly rates will be handled differently. In a move that is arguably "fairer", and relatively "price-neutral", you will now pay the going rate for rooms based on the season (and the day of the week, with weekends being higher), not just the date that you check in.

In the past, if you checked in on the last day of value season, you would get the value season price all the way through your stay, even if the second day onwards was peak season (as you were able to do for Christmas...) Or if you were unlucky enough to have to check in on the last day of peak season, you would be paying peak rate for the duration of your stay, even if the next day the price went back to value season.

Starting in 2008, if you have a season change on the second day, you will pay the going rate for the first night and a different rate for the the next 6 (or two different rates, weekday and weekend). The price will not be "broken down" for you - it will still be a "package" price - but it will have been calculated in a different way in the background.

All this means that some of the "jumping through hoops" that we used to have to do for clients will be eliminated, but it also means that you will not be able to snag those sneaky good deals for travel near Christmas as of 2008.

Once again, the rest of 2007 is unaffected.
