Already within 5 minutes my brain is going to a "Well how about offsite and Universal to see the new Harry Potter stuff" place.
Surely Disney has to know with that new attraction at Universal, not offering a decent discount would be a bad idea.
ETA.. maggiew.. we were typing at the same time.. same thoughts.
The key words in your post are 'decent discount' which may or may not equate to what we're used to (F/D).
Remember (for example) a buy 4 get 3 free deal equates to a 42.8% discount on EVERYTHING, (room, tix, and dining plan).. That's a pretty good deal overall.
Is that as good as F/D? Depends on the size of your party.. but it could be comparable in many cases.
OTOH, I don't know how much Universal will be discounting. They won't and don't have to.. they have a new premier attraction that thousands/hundreds of thousands from around the world want to experience.
Simple business tells ya - you don't discount that. So any discount at Disney would probably beat whatever the Universal offer is.. F/D or not.
And remember Disney has a wider range of hotel choices (and costs) to make it appear more affordable than Universal.
It's definitely going to be an interesting few days.
