I occasionally go through the large selection of Groupon Getaways to see if there is anything of value. Most times, I find something pretty valuable, in my opinion, yet we are not in a position to always take advantage of the promotion. As I woke up this morning, all groggy, I decided to log into my Groupon page and see what was available, and I was surprised to see an offer for the Royal Plaza at Walt Disney World.

For $239, up to four guests can reserve a Deluxe room for two nights. Here are some specifics on the offer:

• Must book by 5/28/12
• Must travel by 5/30/12
• Not valid 3/2-3/3, 3/9-3/10, or 4/1-4/8
• Limit 2 per visit
• 3 day cancellation notice by 4PM prior to arrival required or fee up to Groupon price applies
• Subject to availability
• Must be 21 or older to check in
• Credit card required at booking
• Must have valid ID
• Valid only for deluxe room
• Not valid with reward points
• 12.5% occupancy tax not included

We stayed at the Royal Plaza for our honeymoon back in 2008, and absolutely loved it! One of the specific things we love about the hotels surrounding the Royal Plaza is they are located on Disney property, and have their own independent shuttles that guest can use to get around the Walt Disney World complex. The transportation meant shorter lines, and I like to think faster service since there were less people and hotels that they needed to stop at going to and from the parks.

So I absolutely can recommend the Royal Plaza based on past experience. The question is, will this offer save people money?

Historically, when ever I have searched for the best offers at the Royal Plaza, it has been using the Mousesavers discount, which offers 40% off rack rates. I randomly selected days valid through this offer for four guests in a Deluxe room, and the rooms were $141/night. The Groupon rate works out to under $120/night. Keep in mind these rates do not include taxes and the $8/night resort fee. For reference, the rack rate for the same periods are $209/night. However, compared to staying in a Disney owned resort, there can be substantial savings for a family when all you are doing is sleeping in the room.

If you are headed to Walt Disney World, and looking for accommodations over the dates of this offer, consider staying at the Royal Plaza as the deal is worthy of your time.
