2011 Packages and AAA rates Released (8/8/2010)

[Tink1]

Disney has released ALL packages for 2011 along with AAA room only rates.

Changes to the dining plan that I have noticed so far is:

Le Cellier Dinner is now a signature meal (2 credits)
Counterservice Breakfast has only one beverage. The juice has been removed.

You can see the PRELIMINARY dining plan brochures here.

Before everyone panics, the non-Disney owned restaurants are not yet listed. (this is normal) They get added on as they sign. These include the Epcot World Showcase restaurants and Coronado Springs. This occurs every year and every year people get upset. This is NOT the final list.

And the rumors of no dessert seem to be false. Interesting...

Any idea of cost(s) for DVC members and such?

[crltkcagle]

YAY! I just emailed Debbie last night to see when the pricing was coming out for 2011. THANKS!!!

[TheVBs]

Cool! Thank you! I'd like to price out an Oct. trip.

Has anyone heard of any "special offers" being released for January 2011?

and does MJ book trips at the Swan and Dolphin?

[Disney4us2]

I loved waking up this morning with an email from Kathy at MJ letting me know the 2011 rates are out.

Can't wait for our April spring break trip now.

Just saw that the Le Cellier change begins on 3/1/11. I guess this Jan. will be the last time my family and I dine there. Sad....

[LudwigVonDrake]

I'll be calling tomorrow to book my next trip

[Dr. Disney]

For our vacation next month, we could only book lunch @ Le Cellier. Sadly, this will probably now be our last meal there. Too bad it's lunch!

Just found this:

The Quick Service Dining Plan is up $3 for adults to $34.99 and $2 for kids to $11.99. The price for the Deluxe Dining Plan is up $7 for adults to $78.99 and $1 for kids to $21.99, respectively. The Premium Plan is up $5 for both adults and kids to $169 and $119, while the Platinum Plan is up $9 for adults to $229 and $5 for kids to $160.

Here's a run-down on the pricing for all dining plans:
Dining Plan

Daily cost per adult | Daily cost per child
Quick Service Dining Plan $34.99 | $11.99
Dining Plan $45.99 - $47.99 | $11.99 - $12.99
Deluxe Dining Plan $78.99 | $21.99
Premium Dining Plan $169.00 | $119.00
Platinum Dining Plan $229.00 | $160.00

The Wine and Dine add-on package is again available this year for an additional $39.99 per night, unchanged from the last three years. The Wine and Dine package entitles you to one bottle of wine per night, redeemable at any point during your stay at table service restaurants. Wine ordered at signature restaurants or with private dining (room service) will cost you two Wine and Dine credits.

do they have the dates listed of the free dining and other special offers?

No, Special Offers are released during the year as needed.

If I'm reading that brochure right, LeCellier is still one credit for lunch, only takes two credits for dinner, right?

Correct!

Looks like early December dates are no longer considered "value season", there is now a new season for 2011 "fall season". Depending on the resort, looks like the fall season rates are much higher than this year's value season for early December.

Anyone know what discount is offered with AAA during this new fall season for 2011?

[thejens]

It doesn't bother me so much that the prices go up, after all, Disney is expensive, but we go for the quality, the magical, special experience.

I must say, though, I don't like feeling you pay more AND get slightly less each year. We lost the appetizer. We lost tips included. We lost Le Cellier. We lost a beverage. And yet we pay more each year. And have newer options to pay even more!

I think I will skip the DDP next time and see how much I spend ordering what I actually want to eat and tipping what I think is reasonable to tip. I did like paying in advance, but not sure it feels like I am getting something anymore.

Does any one know where I can find the AAA room rates for 2011?

[TikiLounger]

Alright, I hate to admit it but, until I saw the title of this thread, it had never occurred to me to ask for a AAA discount. I mean, never...in all the times I've visited Disney. Uh...yikes. I feel pretty stupid, right now. So, anyway, a couple of weeks ago, I booked a trip for my husband and I to stay at the Beach Club-Club level in Oct. (for the Food and Wine Festival). I saw this thread and thought, "Gee...if the 2011 AAA room-only discounts are out, that means they must have discounts for 2010!" Genius, I know . So I called and asked for the discount to be applied to my reservation. I saved over $300. Well, at least now I know.

Let me know if you can find them online, maybe you have to call.

[Tink1]

For AAA you have to call. With date specific pricing they are not a blanket price.
