My wife and I are looking at taking my grandkids to Disney World and would like to stay at the Deluxe Resort on the Monorail. Not staying a whole week thinking about 4 days (we have been before may times). Looking for web sites or options on getting discounts for staying at one of these resorts?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Depends if you mean Deluxe Resort or Deluxe Villa Resort -- Deluxe Resorts are the hotel rooms. Villas are condos (kitchen, separate bedroom) located at all the Deluxe resorts. If Villas (DVC) best bet is to rent from DVC Member -- can rent for $10-$15 direct on DIS or MO Rent Trade forums or through Broker -- Davids Vacation Club or DVC Rental Store for $14-$16/pt. See my
WDW point chart to figure out how many points you'll need. FYI, Disney direct price for these same exact villas are around $24/pt. equivalent, so you are saving almost 50% buy renting points from a member.
One good place to start is: mousesavers.com
You can also rent points from a DVC owner for one of the DVC locations on the monorail---all three monorail resorts now have one.
Disney typically offers one of two promotions during various times of year -- "Free" DDP (with full rack rate) -- Standard DDP with Deluxe accommodation -- OR -- 30% off rack rate. MouseSavers has details on historical promotions to give you an idea of when/what they are and what current promotions are going on.
