Thank you Julie! Now things are starting to make sense!! 🙂
Are these three resorts guaranteed to be “Host Resorts?” I’m a little concerned by some of the language on the runDisney website that seems to indicate travel is only provided from “Event Host Resorts.” but nowhere am I finding any details about which resorts will be the 2014 Host Resorts.
If we stay at any WDW resort, are we covered, or does it have to be a particular resort?
Thanks.
Good question Steve! Princess Weekend has gotten so big that all the resorts are Host Resorts now, meaning you can get to the Expo, Get to all the race starts and be taken back to your resort at the finish via Disney Transportation at no extra cost. In the past only certain resorts were Host Resort. Here’s a tip regarding race transportation….YES the buses and Monorail starts running VERY early, to avoid long lines – which can give runners and families added stress, I suggest getting to transporation EARLY. Also, anyone can ride on the race transport, that includes families and friends of runners.
Thank You so much Jackie!! That means so much to me!! I am happy to help you plan this trip and any future vacations for your family. I love making Disney dreams come true for my guests. This Princess Weekend will be tons of fun. Jennifer
Working with Jennifer has been great. Think I have found the agent to talk with the next time we take a family vacation to Disney!
Yay, I love steering my readers to a good thing. Jennifer is AWESOME she will totally take care of you all!
HI there! With this being an exclusive group rate we cannot add any future discounts to this offer. I know that right now it is a much better rate than what is being quoted to the Princesses from RunDisney today. Also, we have seen a trend with Disney as of late with much less discounts. So keep that in mind and don’t get your hopes up. We will be offering a discount park ticket option later this summer as well. The only thing we cannot offer with this group package is the dining plan. I hope that helped answer your question- Jennifer..exclusive Run.Walk.Fastpass Disney Travel Agent
Thanks Jenn, I was comparing your Group VIP rates with offers out there last yer at this time and well these are among the best offered, percentage wise, beat the General Offer to the Public! Woot Woot…I love deals!
Most Authorized Disney Travel Agents I know will automatically look at reservations they have booked when the fall offers come out and love saving clients money by updating reservations booked with the best offer possible. When you get a quote with a Disney Travel Agent, a good question to ask is “what happens if a better rate comes out than what you are quoting me and I book my room at THIS quoted rate”. Keep in mind certain discounts offered are limited so might not be available as they get used up quickly at certain resorts. The best Disney Travel Agents just want to make clients happy and saving them money is a HUGE way – even after room booked and deposit paid.
Is there a possibility to add any sort of discount later in the year? I heard that sometimes they release room discounts in the fall
