Suspect you're right in the sense that empty hotel rooms make no money at all and it does encourage people to stay in the "bubble"

Same as I think they will bring back fastpass sooner rather than later when they up the park capacity. You spend all day in lines you aren't spending money.

Yes! I’m sure I remember paying around that, maybe $69/night even and the exchange rate was a lot more favourable for us then, too! I think this was in 2007 or 2008 and they were doing all sorts of great offers.

Well, this thread has cheered me up no end! It makes a nice change to get back to Disney planning speculation to take my mind off the usual covid speculation that has sadly been the norm for the last few months.
Hopeful too that if any kind of offer is released it might be applied to bookings moved from this year 😀

Ah the halcyon days of pretty much $2 to the £. Those were the days! "Have whatever you want from the menu kids, it's basically free!"

I've been hunting but can't find any online rumours other than here, am I being totally blind or have they actually managed to keep something almost secret this time?

They'll have do something soon. I'm sure that the local Americans are busy buying up DVC days from people who have no choice but to sell them or lose their points (Because we would do the same if we could)

At least it will give people something different to talk about, other than doom and gloom.
Who thought we'd ever miss tipping, 'what shoes to wear', and 'how can I make my child grow' posts
