[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is probably looking right now, for hotels at Disney for xmas break. That's the busiest time of year, and it's too late in the game. Yes, prices are high.

The trick is to book far in advance, not during peak periods, and get discounts like if you book on disney.com, they have package deals that include park tickets. [b]We neve spend more than $300/night and that's for Contemporary or Grand Floridian, boht on the monorail[/b].[/quote]

How long ago?  I haven’t seen prices that low in at least a decade at those hotels, and I’m eligible for tons of discounts (military, pass holder, chase Disney visa, Florida resident)[/quote]

Shades of green is $237, which is why we never stay there and do a value or moderate.

The price depends on the sponsor’s rank.  It is  as high as $257[/quote]

Anyone with an officer or high rank can afford more.  As enlisted we never stayed there as Disney value with military discount is cheaper.  It’s still way less than what people here consider budget.  [/quote]

Well, you are not in the position to know what everyone can afford, regardless of whether or not you know their salary.   Plenty of enlisted have non-military spouses who are high earners.    Some have "family money" or inheritances.   
Many officers or high ranking enlisted have family obligations (like helping to support an aging parent or other relative) that take a hit to their budget.   Or student loans....  Maybe 50 years ago it could have been as simple as  certain ranks can afford X, but not so much anymore.

Anyway, I was only correcting the poster that stated unequivocally that Shades of Green is $237.   The price can be higher OR lower, as there are three categories.[/quote]
