Disney survey About This Page:

[linda a. rob]

Hi all, I just finished a survey for Disney about new package ideas . Some of the questions were about room rates and extras such as free qs breakfast, internet, tour and mugs. Of course they aren't really free but are included in the room rate. They also wanted to know if you would pay all up front for the discounted rooms.

How did you take that survey? Emailed? Parentpulse?

Interesting!

I always thought free internet would be nice.... to pay like $10 a day can get pricey over a week long stay... but usually end up having to do it at least once or twice since DH is always worried about his fantasy football picks LOL

Otherwise I end up just trying to do everything on my phone...

I got that same survey in my email. It said something about having visited recently (last Oct) and asked about experiences on that trip, among other things.

I thought some of the "which perks would you be willing to forego for a discount rate" questions were interesting. For example, would you be okay with picking the resort level and letting them pick the specific resort and room? (No way.) No access to DME? Pay in full at time of booking? Non-refundable deposit once booked? No access to EMH?

I can't really see them trying to implement many (or any) of these restrictions. I mean, if they start taking away perks that guests have become accustomed to ("you can have a discount rate, but you can't go to EMH"), I think they would hear a lot of complaining. To me, it's kind of a "second-class" thing, and Disney has been about everyone being treated the same (well, unless you stay CL, and that's another story). You get the same perks whether you stay at a value or deluxe resort, you should get the same perks whether you get a discount rate (or free dining, or whatever) or not.

The way the survey worked, they gave a choice of two packages, one with various perks (free mug, free internet) and one at a discount rate without those perks, or without those perks and some other restriction (you choose the level, we choose the resort & room). I looked at the difference in the prices and thought, would I be willing to pay that much more for a mug and internet, or would I be willing to give up a perk for that lower rate. There was also an option for "I don't like either of these and wouldn't choose either package."

Since there was one or two where I said I didn't like either one, when I finished that part I got a question about if those were my choices would I a) still go to WDW and stay onsite, b) go, but stay off-site, or c) not go at all.

It'll be interesting to see what comes of this - if anything.

Thanks for posting those details! I should take better notes the next time I do a WDW survey!

I picked the ones where you didn't have to pay all up front. When they asked what I thought I told them since we didn't use DME it wouldn't be fair for me to chosse one that either offered or didn't that particular extra. I hope they pay attention to what the answers are. I got my survey by email. I always open my disney mail. One year we able to get a $1000 gift card for 650.

Tell me more about the 1000 gift card for 650...
