Discounts?

I think I know the answer to this question, but what the heck.

The family will be gathering up for our every-so-often epic two week trip next year, and I am in the process of nailing down some dates and the thought occurred to me.

Are there ever any discounts offered at Fort Wilderness? I know we are typically left out of the free DDP offers, but I don't recall ever seeing other discounts extended to this resort.

It seems that I had heard, at one time, this resort never has issues with too many vacancies.

Then again, I thought I heard the seat should always be left up...

I haven't heard of any discounts on camp spaces in quite a long while. Room discounts would apply to the wilderness homes if you were staying there.

We recieved discounts for the cabins, but I have never seen anything offered for the campsites.:mickey:

Last year, I got a discount on a cabin. My brother and his family stayed in their RV, but had no discount. We did the math, and figured that we probably paid about the same amount when he factored in the cost of his campsite and diesel.

I have ALWAYS gotten a discount on the campsites. There are many available but most are not aware of them. For instance AAA can be 15-25% off and you don't have to go through AAA to get it.. I saved $300 on my last 2 weeks stay in June. Your best bet would be to find a good travel agent that specializes in Disney, even camping, and whatever discounts may become available after you have made your reservation, they can find and add the discounts for you. Easy as pie. It doesn't cost anything either. The current discounts being offered by Disney do not reflect a discount for campsites, but there is one. Travel agents also have better access to dates than I ever did using the website. No, I'm not a travel agent....lol. Just frugal.

Thanks for the info. I have been considering changing my towing that I get with my phone to AAA for the added travel benefits. When I do the math it is either the same or cheaper. Now I have one more reason to do it. :mickey:

I recently asked about this issue and was told that they only offer discounts and free dining when and where they need to fill spaces and they just don't have a problem with that at the camp sites. We used to get AAA discounts every time, but have not been able to for about 5 years now. The odd thing is we always see plenty of empty spaces when we go. I am starting to think that the moon has to be in the Seventh House and Jupiter aligned with Mars to get a discount of any kind there. :(

Some timing may be involved with the AAA discounts. The info from my TA was that the AAA discounts come out with the rate increases
for rooms in August. There are a set number of discounts and it is first come/first serve until the number allotted is gone. Thus it is treated like any other discount offers, limited supply.

We've had AAA Plus and RV for years and from the various discounts or an occasional tow have always gotten the annual price of membership paid for in savings. :thumbsup:
