I had no intention of going to Orlando this year (fancying somewhere further afield), but if I could get 2 weeks at HRH for those sort of prices I could be tempted.
The lady I spoke to earlier said those prices were definately correct and it was a contract between Universal and Netflights. I am now hoping there won't be a problem with getting that better price, can anyone see why they would say no?

I know once DH gets home and I tell him we could have the HRH for £423 he will want me to try and change the hotel and add the extra £13. Would that be possible without being charged an amendment fee I wonder.

Well I have tried all ways to get a good price for 4 nights 2nd-6th June but they can't come anywhere near the price we got direct with them.
Those prices though are wicked!

I'm still jealous, but you've given me a kick to sort out my Friday & Saturday nights accomodation for 2 weeks. We're renting dvc points and staying at SSR so I can't be too jealous

It's nice when someone gets a good deal and shares it.

I don't think you'll have a problem changing to HRH, or getting the refund as you've only just booked.

There are far bigger players in the marketplace than Netflights - I really don't see why they'd have prices that are about a quarter of the prices some other agencies are offering.

Has anyone ever seen prices as cheap as $71 a night before, ever?!?

I'd just book it up, pay my money ASAP and then, if it comes to it, fight my corner. Worst case is you'd still have to get a room booked, which is exactly where you are now, ie you'd be no worse off.

A friend of ours has also just booked for July. He got a price for 2 weeks which was pretty high but by booking 2 lots of 7 nights he was able to get the prices quoted on this thread. So it looks like it might be for 7 night bookings only. But thats only a guess.

Think you could be right about the 7 nights. We have 4 nights booked and they can't match them.

Well done Leanne, that's a real bargain. I hope you manage to swap the hotels although we really loved it at RPR a few years ago.
