Disney releases 2011 room rates

Unread post by The Sassagoula Sentinel »

Disney released the room availability details for 2011 bookings this week, and there are a couple of surprises in among the usual annual price rises — which actually do not appear to be quite as steep as they have been in some previous years, mostly around $5 per night extra. This year there are a couple of new room categories available, “River View” and “Preferred Location” (the latter at Riverside only).

Port Orleans French Quarter now offers rooms in four categories: Standard, then King Bed or Water View (both charged at $25/night extra) and finally River View (for a further $5/night).

Port Orleans Riverside offers five options: Standard, then King Bed, Water View, or Preferred Room (charged at $25/night extra) and finally River View (for a further $5/night).
  • Standard: These rooms offer general views of the resort, landscaping, courtyards or gardens (including the bayou area at POR). This category could also include rooms facing towards a parking lot.
  • Water View: These rooms offer views of the river, a swimming pool or other water feature.
  • King Bed: These rooms do not specify a specific type of view and could be located within any section of the resort.
  • Preferred Room (Riverside only): These rooms offer close proximity to the restaurants, transportation and main building. Update: Preferred Rooms will be located in Alligator Bayou lodges 14, 15, 18 and 27. A few guests have been informed by cast members at the Disney Reservations Center that Magnolia Terrace and Oak Manor may also be included, but this has not been confirmed and currently does not seem very likely.
  • River View: These rooms offer direct views of the riverfront, but they do not guarantee any particular proximity to the main buildings. Note: at Riverside, any of the directly river-facing rooms tend to give good access to the facilities areas anyway.
Prices for 2011 start at $154 / $179 / $184 (plus tax) for the cheapest dates and go up to $200 / $225 / $230 for periods like Independence Day weekend, etc. For full details and prices please see the Room Rates page.
