I have and there are definitely no deals on property at Universal for March when we are going on Hotwire or Priceline at any Universal or Disney resorts. I actually can't even get a room at any All Star resort for our Disney portion the middle of March because they are full, and Pop Century is overpriced in my opinion. I think there it is really booked up and they don't need to book discounts to fill rooms unfortunately.Thing is both “the travel sages” & the TMs & CMs @ U & WDW readily advise people to book a placeholder reservation at rack rate in order to have a room at the inn
then modify when/if discounted rates are released.
Smart marketing indeed, as I’m willing to guess many book at rates above their original comfort zone, slowly wrap their heads around it & keep the reservation even as is.
there used to be a flurry of last minute low-priced room rates for many dates I’ve booked. Especially, after the cancellation period has kicked in; can’t say I’ve seen that happen in last few years for my dates.
Have those with rapidly approaching trips checked out hotwire for any deals? I haven’t checked for months. They often were same price/slightly higher than whatever prevalent AP rate for many properties.
