Also the OKW and SSR discount looks to have been reduced again to around 27/28%.
I've often wondered about that discount
OKW and SSR have been discounted at 30 or 35% in the past, but on the rack rate.
When a deal is not offered, Disney UK always has a "Combine and Save" offer, which depends on the resort and duration of stay. To get this discount, you only need to buy tickets as part of the package along with the accomodation
For example, a 14 nights stay at SSR this fall for 2 adults, gets £162 off £3248 (accomodation only)
so those 14 nights (excluding tickets) cost £3086 and that's a 4.9% discount off the rack rate.
if we get 28% off as part of the FD deal.
28% off the rack rate => 28% off £3248 = £2338
30% off the rack rate => 30% off £3248 = £2273
35% off the rack rate => 35% off £3248 = £2111
now if I run the 27/28% against the already discounted rate (combine and save)
28% off £3086 = £2221
27% off £3086 = £2252
what we see is that depending on the rate used to calculate the discount, we find rather similar results.
the question is what rate is used when a 28% discount is advertised ?
Is it 28% off rack rate, or is it 28% off regular pricing which already includes a discount. But since you can't stack the discounts, the combine and save drops when you get FD + room discount, making the overall discount fall a bit (compared to regular everyday price, since it's discounted in the first place if you buy tickets)
I've never managed to get a clear picture as to the real value of the discount.
