2006 Resort Rates

Hopefully someone may have the answer to these questions. When does CP announce their rates for 2006 resorts? When do they start taking reservations for 2006? I'm planning on getting a group of friends and family together for sometime in May and want to have an idea on price. And yes it is going to be a long offseason.

I would say sometime within the next 6 months.

My uncle has already made reservations for 2006, so im assuming they are open.

You can make your reservations 2 years in advance. I have done this before, and I have reserved the presidential suite for the weekend when I go up.

You can make reservations in advance by calling. They don't announce the package rates till late Feb. early Mar. I was in the same boat last offseason...I knew when i wanted to reserve but didn't know the package rates. I called and they reserved a room for me but, in order to get the discounted package rates i had to call back after they announced the rates for the following year and "upgrade" my reservation. They will have rooms in most hotels trust me. I would just wait until they announce the rates then book. That way you know what you are getting into price wise. The off season can be a grueling one when you are looking forward to reserving for the next season so i know how you feel. Just hang in there opening day is right around the corner!

I believe even the regular room rates aren't set until mid-winter sometime---you can make a reservation, though, and presumably they use last year's rate for the deposit.

Go by last year's rates, and assume they will go up some (say 5-10%). Resort rates may go up a bit more than in past years, to help offset the lower admission price. At least that's my bet.

Hey Mr Noble,

Maybe there will be a price reduction at the resorts as well as at the gate?

That wwould be the cherry on the sundae and a good move (IMO).
