We swore we would NEVER stay deluxe, just not worth the price, we love mods and might actually prefer the outdoor hallways, and the expansive grounds, etc. Deluxe look nice, don't get us wrong, but we LOVE CSR and POR ...
However, we priced out our May Trip, 2 weeks, and price for a King Bed at POR for 14 Nights, WITH a 30% discount $2640. The price to RENT DVC points at Animal Kingdom, standard view deluxe studio, 5th floor, overlooking the pool .... $2660. $20 more than the Mod with a 30% discount, yes please.
SO, we are rolling Deluxe this time
^^ This.
We had to trade our low season September trips for Mid Summer this year due to school. Aside from not getting a discount, with the higher rates, we are paying 30% more per night for our room than we have done in the years running up to this one. We always stay at the same resort so we are comparing apples with apples.
However, I decided to tag on a short stay at BLT when a friend mentioned she was looking to rent some out and it actually cost me the same for a BLT Lake View Studio as I paid for POFQ for the main part of our stay. I've already decided I'm renting points next year. Free dining is not the discount it used to be - at least not for just two of us.
Another place to look is Expedia when they have offers.
