So I'v just got off the phone with Disney to try and book a Canadian discount, and they said that even the discount released today for the general (us) doesn't seem to be loaded in the system correctly. The lady I was talking with said she a a lot of them around her couldn't get any discounts to resorts to open up. They put in a service request about it and told me to check back a few days from now. She was able to find on at CS that was a family suite, and something at AKL savannah view.
iv also just been playin with the website to look at other rack rates, no discounts and there appears to be no room available to book, anywhere from mods to deluxes..
Unfortunately, my TA told me that bookings for fall are at record levels. Why? No idea. Wah.

Just curious- when you went last November did you find that the crowds were beyond nuts, like Christmas or Easter week in terms of shoulder to shoulder, or just "busy" where you were stillable to get everything done with proper planning?Last year we went in November and a cast member told us that summer was super low crowds, but the fall had turned into the new-summer and was crazy busy. So I guess too many people have read that fall is a good, slow time to go. The discount availability isn't changing whether or not I'm going this December, but man it'd be nice to have a cheaper price. Hopefully it is just a glitch in the system.
I know, I was surprised too. Whenever Disney offers a public discount, Orbitz rates usually reflect that. Not sure if Disney is holding those back from 3rd party sellers.

I'm not seeing any of the value rooms at the public sale rate - only rack rate.I booked POR-Royal Room Standard View on Orbitz yesterday and they did apply the Holiday public discount. With the discount the SV Royal Room was avg $231 a night for 12/13-12/18 and that is the price I got on Orbitz (not including the Orbitz extra 15% off).
Just a reminder, since some seem to have forgotten: using a nickname for a travel agency to get around our board filter and promote a banned business is a violation of board rules, and will result in an infraction.
It's OK to say "I got a great discount from my travel agency," or "I got an agency exclusive discount." If you are going to identify the agency in any way, you must use the full URL of the business: www.nameoftheagency.com.

Lynne, just out of curiosity, is it allowed to mention the name of a TA in a private conversation?
If the business is banned, our board's word filter will probably block the name even in a PM.
I find this confusing. It's ok to identify the agency if we use the full website? I'm not trying to promote anyone. My post was to reassure the other poster that you can see the reservations in MDE.
How do we know if a business is banned?
