| 300.3 | Off Season perhaps? | CUPMK::JETTE | | Thu Feb 13 1992 17:59 | 8 |

Now for a "real" response.
Not having called (yet) I'll venture a guess that group rates "might"
be available for off season. I don't see why they would need to do
this during peak time. I'll have to check it out further.

| Well, just got off the phone with Gail in group reservations. There are
no group discount rates - no matter how many rooms you want to reserve.
No discount rates on admissions either. I went as far as to tell her I
could need as many as 50 rooms! and it still didn't make any
difference. They sure are confident of filling those rooms without any
extra help or incentives aren't they?

| 300.5 | Maybe airfare and off-site hotels | MR4DEC::AWILLIAMS | Let's get dangerous!! | Thu Feb 13 1992 19:36 | 16 |
| Just a couple of thoughts...
Kathy confirmed that Disney doesn't offer any such discounts but I'm
willing to bet that you could get discounted airfare for large groups
(again, better chances off-season) and also at the off-property hotels
(but who wants to stay there... :-)). And it's possible that the
hotels near the WDW Shopping Village would give discounts for large
groups as well.
So when are we going?? :-)
But I can see it now... "Yes, ma'am, that's correct. I'd like a table
for 75 at the Hoop De Doo Revue. Something down front if you have
it..."

| 300.6 | Hoop De DEC? | WOTVAX::BATTY | Well, I wouldn't start from here! | Fri Feb 14 1992 06:53 | 7 |
| With enough of us maybe we could get a special show at the HDD
(with a certain Birthday Boy taking ALL the parts!!!).
If they're that certain about filling rooms, does this mean no
passholder specials this year??

| WEll, I'm pretty sure that airfare would get discounted for groups.( I
have a friend who is getting maried in texas and his whole family is
going down about 20 people and are getting a % discount ). I don't know
if that applies to specific flights or not...
It's a shame they don't give group rates at the hotels though... I
wonder though... don't some travel agencies or tour companies reserve a
set number of rooms with the hopes of filling them and then if they
don't they end up eating some of that cost... possible going through
one of them may be the ticket...
I'll talk to a few places this weekend see what type of response I
get...

| 300.10 | Better discounts | USCTR1::JTRAVERS | | Mon Feb 17 1992 15:23 | 4 |
| I travel alot on business to Digital/Customer events and the event is
always registered with the airlines. We get 45%-50% discounts if we
make our plans mentioning the event... There have got to be better
discounts than just $20 off - maybe it requires a travel agent?
|
| 300.11 | how about AE? | STEREO::RONEY | | Thu Feb 20 1992 18:41 | 8 |
| How about American Express checking it out you the group? They do all
the travel arrangements for DEC business trips and events!!......
My family will be heading for WDW on Mar 5,1992!!! I'll be home working
and taking care of the dog. They'll be in Dixie Landings!! Bummer!!!!

| I haven't been reading for awhile -- I don't think you could use the
Digital travel because it wouldn't be classified as a business meeting.
To Register a Meeting with travel you have to send a mail message
to AMEX_CS @NRO with the name of the meeting, conductor, dates of
meeting, location, number attending, and you have to all leave from
the same locaton.
