Shortly after Disneyland announced reopening plans, I snagged a single Monday night studio reservation at VGC in June that popped up. At the time, we had a litter of pups due and I wasn’t sure we’d be able to actually go to DL, although we‘d really love to. I have a Disney fanatic friend the heads up that we might not use the night, and she was able to get park reservations for the two surrounding days. We told her we’d rent it to her at a fair price if we decided not to use it- I usually shoot for 60% of Disney’s nightly rental rate for a hotel room for the nights in question.
The pups have since been born and are doing well (meaning we’ll still have pups and can’t go to DL) so yesterday I checked what the single night hotel room would cost at the Grand. With taxes and fees: $950 for the worst room category! Jeepers.
I did not charge my friend 60% as I usually would. She is happy to pay $400 for the night. She’s staying two nights and will be paying >$950 for the other hotel night.
I was able to book this with my Hilton Head points. That’s just a 25 point contract. But now my MF on that contract are paid for almost the next two years.
Haha and despite the costs and having puppies as a consolation prize, I’m jealous that I’m not going!!! I thought I’d be fine with no DL for a couple of years. Nope.
