Thoughts on March Break "last minutes".... hmm...

Hello all,

I know it's been a while since I posted. This is mainly due to an unprecedented amount of people booking (or trying to book) their Disney vacations "last minute" - some even for March Break!

Much of the March Break space was long gone by the time potential clients asked us, and indeed air rates had been going for than $1100 per person (from Ottawa) for months. We did have some (albeit limited) success. Disney's 7 for 4 promotion was still theoretically available for our March Break dates, but again, most of the space was booked a long time ago. The only available hotels were in the deluxe category. Now, actually when you are getting 3 nights for free you are getting a bigger "break" in a deluxe category than Moderates or Values, but you are sill paying a fair chunk more for these resorts. This is fine if you really wanted the extra amenities offered by the deluxe resorts (and/or the larger rooms, bigger beds and or have 5 people in your party), but for those looking for the less expensive options at Disney, the rule is still that (even in a down economy) you shouldn't plan on being able to get a deal at the most popular travel times (Christmas, New Year, March Break, Easter.)
