If I've calculated this correctly, this discount's AS-Sport rate of $146 with tax is ~18% off the rack rate.
Last year's discount for Oct through Christmas (same dates) was ~15% for Value resorts, so this is comparable for Values. Maybe slightly better?
We don't know how many rooms are on offer though. And we don't know the mix of value/moderate/resort demand.

Still haven't been able to get a discount at Pop for WineDineHalf weekend. Grinds my gears to the max that I am paying full price. Grrrrr.

↩ replying to SirwalterraleighWhy is that?
I have secured a discounted rate of some sort for decades now. Rack rates are for suckers, and I am not a sucker!

I didnt book for this holiday because the discount was only 20%. It was coming up to be significantly more than last year. If they offered me this, I would have booked. Going elsewhere now.

↩ replying to surfsupdonIt seems Pop discounts aren’t available until the All-Stars reach a high % of capacity….they “hold” the discount until they are forced to surrender
2nd week of December we are currently at LM, waiting for the Pop discounts to materialise….Pop at rack rate wasn’t available when we first booked in August, now it is, but only $15 per night less than AoA/LM….
Guess they showed how grateful one should be for even being able to secure LM in the first place…

On another note, I received call from Disney on that well known “free upgrade” from Pop to either Coronado or Port Orleans Riverside for our late September trip (yes it was a legit call)…I let them knower I’d check with DW and communicate back.
Anyhoo….for those who haven’t heard the offer, it was a no charge upgrade from Pop to either aforementioned Mod….
Rather than just dismissing, we asked if we could pay the difference in price from the current published lower priced Coronado and AKL….the published difference was $112 or so, and Disney declined our generous counter offer….
Pleasant chat with the CM, and we expected them to say no, but gave it a shot

↩ replying to SirwalterraleighI agree, but having been running these races consistently since 2007 and securing discounts for each and every race weekend, I am bummed my streak seems to be over.

↩ replying to AidenRodriguez731Discounts are more generous this year than the same time last year, and that occurred in a Q1 that had lower attendance from the previous year.
But go ahead and keep sneering that he’s unnecessarily alarmist.

↩ replying to Tha RealestWhat would be the cause for alarm?
Disney is too expensive so it seems discounts would be the logical way to alleviate that.

↩ replying to Tha RealestDisney's still making a profit off of that discount.
