Hey Amy! I’m a Disney creator, Canadian Disney expert (and I write for a Disney news outlet) and if you’re ever looking for a guest article on ways to stay at the official Disney Deluxe resorts for a fraction of that rack rate, let me know! I’d be happy to discuss some Disney ‘insider’ tips.
Just wanted to add to the options for official Disney hotels. Disney also owns their own timeshare program, the Disney Vacation Club (DVC). You can often rent a room directly from an owner at a rate that is sometimes 50% the rack rate. DVC villas include kitchenettes or full kitchens like other timeshares. If you are nervous about renting from an owner, there are numerous web sites that offer this service, such as dvcrequest.com. (although I have used their services, I am not affiliated)
Thanks for that info Chris! May look into this for our next trip back.
Hi Amy, thanks for the great tips. How may I ask did you score 4 nights at a Hilton timeshare for $199? That is super cheap, let alone getting it back in exchange for attending a presentation!
Hi Kristian, yes you can do it online. We were able to do get the fee refunded as we were approached by a sales rep with the package while we were staying at a Hilton and when he saw we were debating about the $199 fee, he sweetened the offer 😉

I used the Vegas one a few years ago. The offer didn’t include a refund of the booking fee, and I never ended up using the 200$ credit, so I guess I wasn’t much of a churner back then.
On the other hand, it was at the Elara, which is a much better property than the ones they seem to be offering now, and I’d paid the extra fee for an upgrade to a beautiful suite, so I was happy 🙂
