Hi sarah,
I would be happy to share what has worked best for me so far with booking. I find that it all depends on who you get on the other side of the phone sooo if you dont like what you are hearing or a discount isnt showing as available call again! I found calling Hard Rock direct got me the most accurate info and some of the friendliest reservationists willing to take the time with me to answer all my questions. I did call Loews 800 number first wasnt totally satisfied so I then called Hard Rock direct. The reservationist was only too happy to give me all the discounted rates using AAA, AP, entertainmnet card and Fan club card. Granted you may have to wait till they come out for your time of travel at least they can give you a heads up to when to call back. I think I remember reading a post that said to call after September for March entertainmnet rates. AAA rates I believe you can get now.
So you know the entertainment rates are the deepest discounts when available. I was quoted 117.50 gardenview 129 poolview and 149 for a deluxe (tax not included)
The direct # to Hard Rock is 407-503-ROCK
Loews 1-800-23 LOEWS
