Re: Mutter, mutter, &^%$#! Disney Web site

Keep clicking around. You'll find them too.
A peculiar offshoot of their pricing paradigm is that it will return
rediculously large room rates from time to time.

It has to do with how that program is written. Not to give you an honest
result of room availability and price. But to get you to pay as much as
possible for the room you want. It's like walking into a store and asking,
"How much?", and they answer "How much are you willing to spend?"

It notes what level of accomodation you are looking at, Moderate, Deluxe,
etc. and uses that in the program, with other factors, to comes up with a
price.

Thats why you will never see more than one actual, specific, quotable rate
on a screen at any time.
And why it takes forever for it to come up with that price once you select
the specific resort you want.

I just got it to come up with this price for one night at the Contemporary.
Standard Room Only. One Night. December 17...

Disney's Contemporary Resort Resort Total: $936.60


With just a little practice, you can almost intuitively get the program to
come up with stupid prices also.
Remember to always start off selecting only Deluxe resorts.
