Something's coming................

:cool1:

FYI....keep your EARS open!! :surfweb:

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me! :idea:

[JNSNJNT]

You think its coming today or tomorrow?

[always quiet]

From what I have heard, tomorrow!

:cool1:

[PiratesCove]

I am guessing some kind of discount for April...?

[always quiet]

:thumbsup2

[PiratesCove]

Awesome. We are looking to go either 4/7 or 8/11 so anything to save money would be great.

[luvdmouse]

Is there a chance, from what you think, it might include March?

[always quiet]

party:

[mommy2twingles]

Might this include May? I am getting ready to send our deposit but if there is a discount might just hold off for a few days.

[aubriee]

Wondering the same thing here!

[disneymotherof3]

I'm really hoping it covers April! That would be awesome!!!!

[n2mm]

Rumor or truth, we would still love to know what you know or what you've heard. Some of these folks might not be able to wait one more day. popcorn::

[always quiet]

Trust me, this is a "truth", as soon as I get the go ahead to release more details, I WILL!! :cool1: Believe me, I would love to share all the details....BUT....I can't yet! :scared1: It is driving me nuts too! popcorn::

[Susan555]

Are you able to PM any hints, or not yet? I'm SO CURIOUS!

[andijean]

I have been dreaming of Disney...and so have the kids. I am willing to forgo an anniversary trip to go back to Disney. Pathetic, I know! There are specials thru the airlines right now and if they came out with a good discount/package. I think it would not take much to talk DH into. He is always ready for a vacation in the spring after a NY winter...even though it has been mild. I hope this coming news will be enticing enough $$$:cheer2: I am getting so excited thinking of the possibility. I hope it isn't for naught.

[disneymotherof3]

I just hope we're not working ourselves up for disappointment.:sad2:

[Lauralee131]

Oh no! I can't get on line tomorrow!!!! :eek:

[amy2girls]

I can't stand the suspense!!!!!!!!!!!!:goodvibes Please tell us ASAP Thank you Thank you:hippie:

[ProudMomTo3Boys]

I keep changing my plans from dining to no dining, my poor AAA TA. I hope this is a package deal as I really want the dining plan.

[ADisneyQueen]

Would this include the first half of June? I really want to go then b/c I don't want to take the kids out of school.

[disneymotherof3]

Trust me, this is a "truth", as soon as I get the go ahead to release more details, I WILL!! :cool1: Believe me, I would love to share all the details....BUT....I can't yet! :scared1: It is driving me nuts too! popcorn::

Sorry OP but I HAD to "snoop":angel:

I saw in a PP your a Disney TA. Hope you have great news for all of us soon!

[Tasmen]

This kind of posting is just evil! :)

[srgibbs]

Is it possible that this could be free dining coming out early? The suspense is just to much. Please give a hint!

[n2mm]

Is it possible that this could be free dining coming out early? The suspense is just to much. Please give a hint!

Yes a hint would be good. Is it AAA related? is it free DDP related? is it a package? is it a room only? it is for after Easter? :surfweb:

[nittanyliongirl02]

subscribing, but would LOVE:cutie: a discount for the first week of March!!!
**keeping my fingers crossed!**

[disneymotherof3]

This kind of posting is just evil! :)

I was thinking the same thing!;)

[Marie17]

If I had my wish -

May would be included in this deal and it would be for the following:

Free upgrade of tickets to include no expiration (adults & children)

$125 off rate for deluxes - including DVC resorts and the home-away-from-home resorts and cabins
$55 off moderates
$40 off values

Pay full price for tickets for two adults - get one free child's admission (wouldn't that rock!!)

Buy park hopping and get your choice of either free water parks and a miniature golf round or non-expiration.

I can dream......

But cannot wait to see what happens when it is released. I just hope it is something really sort of NEW and not the same old thing. I think Disney needs to start stirring the pot a little more with their specials. The last two years have seemed to be just about the "normal" discounts.

[stephgles]

Subscribing. Hoping for something good.

The AP email I received about the AP discounts suggested that a similar discount would be released to the general public after the APholders got a first crack at it. That was only for 2/15-3/30, though. I hope this is something better.
(maybe for June? ;) )

Could it have anything to do with the Disney events happening at AAA offices tomorrow evening?

Don't get these folks excited like that. This is what the last passholder message said: (and it says this on every email I've received when an AP discounts has been released.)

"Important Details
Additional per-adult charges apply for more than two adults per room. No group rates or other discounts apply. Advance reservations required. Proof of valid adult Passholder ID required at check-in. Offer will also be made to certain non-Passholders in other select promotions.

Entertainment subject to change without notice. "

It always says that even when GP codes have NOT come out. This could mean discounts to Florida residents (which came out a couple of days after this discount was released) and Pin discounts. It does not say for the general public. Just wanted to make sure folks knew this.

[MHTeacher]

Ooohhh, this is tooooo exciting !! I already booked my room with the AP discount, but I haven't actually purchased the AP yet.......so I'm waiting to see what this deal is !

Who else but the "Big Chesse" himself!::MickeyMo

[LakeAriel]

would only be interested in free dining...:cool1:

[disneymotherof3]

Can you at least tell us if it's really going to knock our socks off, or is it just something small? Come on.......throw us a bone.:teeth: :hyper:

[Grace&Carolinesmom]

At what point is it considered tomorrow? Does "tomorrow" start at 12 midnight est?? or at 7am est??? When will the "big cheese" give the ok for it to be tomorrow and the info can be released??? Tomorrow is so subjective.....:rolleyes1 If I thought info were going to be released after midnight, perhaps, i might stay up and watch the late show. If say....info were going to be released as "tomorrow" at 7am est, i might go to bed early to get my beauty rest:cloud9: so I can be extra excited for the news.

Any comment on when tomorrow might come??:flower3: (wink..wink) :flower3:

[OhMari]

I was home at noon, and I caught a commercial and it said to log onto WDW New website and book your next vacation. I have never seen a commercial telling you to book your next vacation from the their website. I know on Mouseears, Deb has something today about the website being redone. I received an e-mail a month ago, telling me the site would be down periodically and to watch for changes.

I didn't see any thing special with it, but I saw that there is now a place to book with the Wonderful Weeks of Disneyon the Walt Disney site. You click summer, fall, winter, or spring and it brings you up to certain weeks that you can book that are supposed to be cheaper and less crowded? Is that a new promotion they are advertising?

Don't fall for it. Their isn't any discount if you go during the weeks that Disney picks for you. Just the possibility of less crowds.

If I would of known they were going to wait so long to give us the all clear, I wouldn't of put you guys through this! :guilty:

[teacher100]

I really would rather have a room only code. I can get tickets from a discount ticket center, eat breakfast and one meal in the room with one meal at the park, and my vacation becomes alot more affordable! Not to mention all the regulations that come with packages. I worry about the influx of crowds as well. This will be the first time I'm going during a busy time. Can't take DS out of high school.

[tinkerbell615]

Well gang. I guess I will be logging off for the night. DD has finals in the AM and I will need to be able to wake her up in the morning. I will be checking first thing. Hope to see something really good!!!

Good Luck to all who are waiting!

[son3disfan]

COME ON...........
Anything yet????

[SueEllen]

I know it's hard to be patient, but details cannot be shared until the "go ahead" comes as no one wants to give information that they were specifically asked NOT to do.

I will hint that some of what has been posted could be true--and it will likely be a package offer, not a room only offer. (am I clear as mud?) :rotfl2:

Seriously though, something seems to be coming and coming soon--watch the DIS Discounts page for updates as all details will appear there as soon as they can be released. Nothing is official YET.

I'm an AP holder,but honestly ,If this were to be free dining,I would buy a 1 day pass to get the free dining.

And would it be considered a "package" if you already have a room booked & then add park tickets or do you have to do all that at once?

I was just looking at the weatherchannel.com for Orlando for our upcoming Jan/Feb trip and saw a new ad that I have not seen before. It has pinochio and says:

6nights/7 days at a select disney value resort $561 per adul. double occupancy includes theme park tickets and upgrades. For a standard room most nights 4/15-6/02/07 book by february 18. There is a link to click, but it will not open on my computer:

http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/special/promo/genericPromoLanding?id=Q307OfferPage&CMP=BAC-WDWQ3AFY07Dom1010

Just saw another mickey one this time on Weather Channel and it talked about the free ticket upgrade offer. It is the same offer as the pinnochio. If you don't get the disney offer just keep refreshing it and it will come up, you can see the details.

I am assuming this is new, but I may be mistaken and it is not.

[2Princes2Princesses]

I was just trying to get into that too and could not. It says upgraded ticket offer, book by 2/18 for 4/15-6/2!!!

[miller2470]

We have decided to do a week at Beach Club and then the week cruise next year instead of a week this year and one next. Maybe I can squeeze a week in this year too.:yay:

Thank you so much for the head's up on this. This may be just what the doctor ordered for our trip in May. The information states the rate for a Value resort - will this deal be available for moderate and deluxe resorts also?

[goofyshell]

Thanks SueEllen! I just asked for a Dreams quote, but I'd also like to know, is it only for value resorts?

[SueEllen]

Value resort is just the lead in pricing--it is available at all of the resort categories (subject to availability)

I too hope its for May also, a code would be so nice to finally get!!!

[aubriee]

Boo Hoo for us March trippies:sad2:

Boo Hoo for us AP holders too! Don't they usually offer AP codes before general public codes? Does this mean there will be no AP codes for May? A pkg with tickets does us no good. We want a room only code.

Congratulations to those waiting for a pkg code though. It sounds like a good deal for you guys.

[Kitts21]

Is this pkg code what all the hoopla has been about all day. My wife has been waiting to hear what it was. She told me to keep a lookout while I was at work tonight. It might benifit us with our up coming May trip. not sure though.

BUT, :confused3 :confused3 :confused3 . That offer is not exactly worth the number of pages on this post. I suppose if you already had a full price package, it will save, potentially, what, < than $100 p/person on tickets over the course of the trip, but aren't you paying full rack on the room? I dunno, doesn't seem like much of a "deal" to me, then again--I'm not a fan of packages anyway. . . :snooty:

Still, I suppose if you have no discount, then this is better than nothing. . .

Well....whatever it works out to be is better than nothing :banana:

[n2mm]

Well I didn't stay up, went bed when the Prez started talking. Got to work and saw the new package posted on the disboards. Does nothing for me, not really impressed, but hope some folks can take advantage of it. I did notice right off the bat that Easter is skipped and the package ends right before the summer rush. Now back to waiting for the next exciting news and hopefully it will be the free ddp for Aug/Sep. popcorn::

[snels]

We want AP room only rates for May! :wizard:

[jdd]

So, am I reading this right that it's a free upgrade to park hopping and water parks? Not what I was hoping for, but we're going anyway, so I'll take it! Does anyone know when we'll be able to book it on the Disney website? It's not there yet...

[java]

Well that just does nothing for me.. we are going 7-15 thanks disney.... But we'll have fun anyway. So does that mean you have to pay rack rate to get the free park hopper? Now that would be a great thing for us because the park hopper and water parks on 5 tickets is $$$$

[laura001]

It works for me, and I will take my $166.00 that I have saved and put it towards our Seguay Tour!!! :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

[disneymarathoner07]

I called first thing this morning to get a quote and you are paying rack rate + basic ticket price and getting park hoppers and water, fun and more for free. The dining code is that with the regular dining price added in. It wasn't enough for us to make a trip down there. We don't do the water parks anyway, so we would just be saving the price of the park hoppers. So I am still hoping for free dining to disney visa holders or the public and if we don't get that--I'll be renting points for the week before Christmas and enjoying my first disney during christmas...(really looking forward to that!!!)

Thanks for giving us a heads up--it was exciting--maybe it'll work out for me next time!!!:thumbsup2

[rabx5]

A few questions.

I have a package plus dining booked through AAA. Can I have my AAA agent apply this discount or do I need to rebook through WDW?

Is this just for Value? I have POFQ booked for 7 days 6 nights.

I can not find this deal on Disneys site at all. Where is it?

Can I book this online using the ZFC code?

Sorry for all the questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated :goodvibes

You will have to have AAA see what your rate will be, if you booked with a AAA package rate you may have saved money already. I have never found AAA to be on top of things, so I would call them and give them the code and tell her you want to know what the rate would be.

[beth_cam]

The deal is up on mousesavers.com now. The "savings" (I put that in quotes because it isn't a savings if like me you weren't going to purchase those upgrades anyway) on the tickets is 101 per person. and as has been in the past there is also a discount on the room.

When I did the calculations with the similar deal the last time it came out to costing me $50 more than the aaa pricing but for that 50 more you got the ticket upgrades.

was running numbers and this doesnt seem to be the case though...showed about 380 total savings with a typical 2a 1j 1c package. I put that in wrong but It does look like close to 100 per person.

[SlightlyGoofy]

Glad I did not stay up and I feel sorry for the poor lady who slept with her laptop last night. :lmao:

It is better than nothing but it is really nothing for me as we have AP's and do not do water parks anyway.

Give me a good room only rate and I will be a happy camper. I am not giving up hope.:cool1:

Slightly Goofy

[PLibster]

Is it me, or is it a little early for codes up to June 2? I am going in May this year and I usually go 2nd week of June. I normally wouldn't be looking for any kind of code until March. Surely this new package is not all that will be offered. :confused3 I booked the Poly last night ("room only" AAA rate May 16-26) and I asked about AP codes and the woman said not for a few weeks (which I figured). So even though I am getting hoppers with waterparks, I believe I will do better with an AP code.

[OhMari]

I saw it on our weather channel too at 1:08 a.m. CST. My dh woke me up when he came home from work and the weather channel always puts me back to sleep. First thing I saw were the dates-doesn't work for me. I thought this thread was fun yesterday-even though it didn't work out for me. I will be going the Wednesday before Easter, till the Thursday after. I will be paying Peak Season prices, but oh well, I can't wait, it has been 4 years.

[lillygator]

can you buy a 1, one day base ticket or it has to be for everyone? I am an AP holder with the DDE...wondering if it would be cost effective?

[Marie17]

Exactly what is meant by a junior and a child to get the ZEY code?

I imagine the following:
child is 3-9
Junionr 10-17
Adult 18-???

Not sure if this is right or not.

[beth_cam]

yes to Marie. BUT that is just sample pricing same kind of deals are available at different resorts categories and with different party size/ages

The Lilly- all people on reservation must have the same ticketing. You can get one day tickets and upgrade as needed when you are there. Supposedly the one day tickets can be used to renew your ap. No personal experience but telling you the talk of the boards.

Correct, Jr. is a term used to describe the adult price park pass and dining plan but no extra adult fee for the room portion.

Happy travels

I am currently holding with WDW for a quote....

[ProudMomTo3Boys]

On the boards home page it says for value resorts, does this code work for mods as well?

[rabx5]

I am currently holding with WDW for a quote....

Well, I got it for $20 less than my AAA agent quoted me. With the waterparks and more added. I could not get French Quarter- only Riverside. I did not book. I called my AAA agent and left a message on his voice mail with the code to use and to call me back with the price he could get. I don' want to stay at POR (too big). I hope he can beat the disney price or at least match it. We were going to buy a few days of water parks and more for my 2 teens, so this is actually going to save me money.

[vamassey1]

This worked for me. We had a base package with dining booked. I only booked the base ticket hoping for the hopping for free. So it saved me the $166 it would have cost for hoping, we got the water parks and more for free and my package went down by $101. We booked 9 nights at Pop. I also had a reservation for DS and DIL for 5 nights of that trip. They saved $56. We've never done the water parks, Pleasure Island and most haven't done Disney Quest. I'm excited about all the new things we'll get to do.

Ok, here's my situation, hope this gives you guys some idea....2 adults, 1 child age 4, 1 infant.

Mod's, std....7 nights, one day tocket $2128.08 with dining plan.
Deluxe, WL or AKL....7 nights, one day ticket $3112.00 with dining plan.


now to crunch the numbers....

Those are my exact same dates that I already have booked with AAA, I am staying at POR. I emailed my agent, hope she gets it soon enough to call and get this package.

:confused3
Would it make sense to do this? The promotion is for free hopping/WP. Wouldn't you get only 1 "free" day with the 1 day ticket option?

[lillygator]

I am not sure if this would be such a great deal for a Passholder....I am not sure where to start a thread though, resort board or dining board?

If AP/FL codes come out...and based on 07 rack rates and 06 $ off....
taxes included
value 7 night = $586.74
mod 7 night = $984.41
del 7 night = $1299.41-1496.25....I guess I would need to see if we would eat $1k worth of food on the trip.

[lillygator]

:confused3
Would it make sense to do this? The promotion is for free hopping/WP. Wouldn't you get only 1 "free" day with the 1 day ticket option?

so I could get a 7 day hopper, without the price changing on the package?

I am confused.

[ProudMomTo3Boys]

I just got an email from AAA agent and she said that if I got the package I couldn't get the AAA room rate, which makes sense to me because you can't combine discounts. So for me, since I don't really plan on hopping or going to water parks, this code doesn't really help .

[RainbowGirl]

No changes for me. Oh well. With our AA rate on the Poly room we're saving more than getting free hoppers (we don't go to the water parks).

[MHTeacher]

I also booked 3 rooms last week with the AP discount by agreeing to purchase the AP. Can I cancel the AP if something else comes out?

Did you already purchase the AP, or get the AP rate, knowing you'd purchase one before your stay ?

I believe you have to show the AP voucher or an activated AP at check-in to actually receive the discounted room rate. SO, if you don't buy one, you just won't get the discount.

Now....if you've already purchased your AP, I'm not sure how that would work, but I don't think that WDW would let you "downgrade" your pass. Someone can correct me if this is incorrect.

As I'm typing this, the new discount is released. For me, it doesn't beat the AP rate and the difference I'll get in the room discount at peak season. So I'm staying with what I have !

[rabx5]

I just got an email from AAA agent and she said that if I got the package I couldn't get the AAA room rate, which makes sense to me because you can't combine discounts. So for me, since I don't really plan on hopping or going to water parks, this code doesn't really help .

But could your agent get you what WDW can for the package? I mean, not give you the AAA discount, but still apply the MYW plus WP and more to your existing ressie for the same price WDW is charging with the code? I ask because I want to keep my POFQ but WDW said there is nothing left there for my time frame :confused3 She (wdw) said she can't touch any ressies made through AAA. I am so darned confused.

[jjohnson]

so I could get a 7 day hopper, without the price changing on the package?

I am confused.

No the price would increase to the difference in price between a 1 day ticket & 7 day base ticket.

If your the only AP holder & decide to go with this deal, I would get the 10day passes & add the no expiration to the rest of your family when you get there. Keep your pass until your AP expires and apply the credit to the new one. You go often enough that it would be worth it.

Yes she can get the package, but then I wouldn't get the discount on the room part. Since we don't hop or go to waterparks, it doesn't really pay for us to get the package, because then I would have to basically pay an extra 167 dollars which was my discount on the room just to get the free hoppers and water parks. Does that make sense.

nope the three of us all have AP's..the baby doesn't need one until next year....

[jjohnson]

Well then for me personally I would wait/hope for AP rates instead.

[HACAM]

:woohoo:

This is great for us...just means that instead of waiting for the possibility of free dining in August, we are going in May instead...virtually the same savings for us, as we always get the Park hopper and water park option. Works out well for me!!!! Thank you WDW!!!

[rabx5]

Does that make sense.

It does make sense :thumbsup2 See, we were going to buy a few days of waterparks and more for my teens when we got to WDW. With this new plan, its $20 cheaper through Disney than my AAA (which was $148 less than Disney with 7 day PH and dining) but it gives us the waterparks now. AAA got a room discount, but Disney gets me a 7 day base rate ( saving me $$ from parkhoppers I purchased through AAA) and I get the waterparks. I hope that isn't as confusing as it sounds.
I just want my AAA agent to give me the same price as Disney with the room already reserved because POFQ is booked according to Disney. Understand? :confused3

Iyiyi :confused:

I'm waiting to hear back from my AAA agent.

[lillygator]

Well then for me personally I would wait/hope for AP rates instead.

I think that is what we'll do...I mean we have the DDE as well so 20% off most TS restaurants anyway...

ETA: also, if I wait and book on the phone for AP rates, no harsh cancellation and no paying 45 days before travel either.

[amy2girls]

Ok so hear is my deal.... I think my AAA agent thinks I am crazy!!! I called her this AM with this new info, she was unable to get me this deal. I don't know why. Anyway, I called Disney for a price check and I can get the same thing I have booked now with AAA which is 6 nights a POR with MYW plus dining and the ticket upgrade for $4 less than my current package with AAA which does not include my ticket upgrade. So what should I do? Cancel with AAA and rebook with disney? I love planning and DIS, but now I am going nuts!!!:rotfl2: No really I think I am going nuts

For you it seems to make sense. While the savings is nominal, if your figures are accurate, you will enjoy the park hopping and water parks (and more) that you would not have been able to use w/o the package (if I'm understanding your AAA booking correctly).

[rabx5]

I would ask her again. She can not give the AAA room discount and this WDW upgrade, but she can certainly switch it over. I am saving $20 with the upgrade package compared to my AAA ressie and I am getting the water parks now :thumbsup2 I don't get the $25 disney gift card though, which is okay with me. Call her again, or call and ask for a different agent :)

UPDATE:
My AAA agent got everything switched over for me and I DO get the $25 disney gift card to boot. I am soooo happy. This saved us some major money.

[planning06]

Not worth it to me unless I was staying at a value. If I renew my AP an they release AP discounts for May I will be better off with that assuming the discount is 75-100 off deluxes, even buying the hoppers for the rest of my family. It's about a break even for a moderate and given the choice I will renew my AP. We don't typically do water parks so I didn't include that in my analysis.

[emmabelle]

what should I do? Cancel with AAA and rebook with disney?

Just be careful that your AAA agency doesn't charge a cancellation fee, mine does unfortunately. :guilty:

[sconnell]

Ok, maybe I'm missing something. What EXACTLY is the code for? I read the thing on the DISCOUNTS section. It says, minimum of 3 nights, but it includes a 7 day ticket?
Maybe I'm not with it yet this morning...
Here's a for instance... (Just dreaming, no way DH would let me go without him and DS! lol)
Me & DD 4 (for her 5th birthday) for the minimum 3 nights at say POFQ. No dining plan necessary. What are the ticket options?

You are simply receiving the park hopping and water park options without additional cost. So, if you were only purchasing a "base ticket", the least costly option, you would not be paying the $45 and $50 fees associated with the add ons, i.e., park hopping and water parks, etc. Someone else said there was also a "discount" on the room rate, but I do not have the figures to prove the statement since this is not a time frame or package of interest to me and I've done no actual "research" w/Disney.

Thanks! Didn't they run this same thing last year? If I'm remembering right, we did this last year. Free water parks and more...
It was fun, but I don't think it's enough to plan a trip for. Now if we were going anyway...

[PiratesCove]

Even though its not the exact deal I was hoping for, I booked at 7am this morning. The person I was dealing with at WDW didn't even know of the codes at that point since I was his first customer of the day. Looks like it will save me about $150 plus give me an extra day at the parks and the park hopper option...

[amy2girls]

Ok so here is what I did, I called my AAA agent back and she called Disney again (she said they were very overwhelmed and actually yelled at her). Any way, my previous package was for 6 nights at POR with MYW dining and park hopping through AAA for $2539.36. She rebooked for me for 6 nights at POR with MYW plus dinning and park hopping with water parks for $2534.00. So for $5 less I got water parks included. Not bad. Thanks for the heads up!!!!:grouphug: :dance3: princess:

[sconnell]

Wait, here's a thought... If we went for the 3 night minimum, bought 10 day non-expiring myw tickets, would that make them park-hoppers with the water parks and more option?

[Tess]

So for $5 less I got water parks included. Not bad. Thanks for the heads up!!!!:grouphug: :dance3: princess:

Glad that worked for you--you actually saved a couple of bucks and get to hit a water park. . . :thumbsup2

[Marie17]

Wait, here's a thought... If we went for the 3 night minimum, bought 10 day non-expiring myw tickets, would that make them park-hoppers with the water parks and more option?

I would imagine so.

You can always add the non-expiration option once you get there. I don't see any advantage (personally) to pay up-front for this cost. Now if Disney had a discount to do it in advance I would but it cost the exact same thing if you pay for it prior to going to Disney or when you arrive.

[Grace&Carolinesmom]

Glad I did not stay up and I feel sorry for the poor lady who slept with her laptop last night. :lmao:

It is better than nothing but it is really nothing for me as we have AP's and do not do water parks anyway.

Give me a good room only rate and I will be a happy camper. I am not giving up hope.:cool1:

Slightly Goofy


Ditto. It's nice to know that WDW is at least putting out eary sales. I am hopeing for a great AP discount :goodvibes


No changes for me. Oh well. With our AA rate on the Poly room we're saving more than getting free hoppers (we don't go to the water parks).

Hey! We will be at the Poly together! We have AAA rate for Garden view booked for April 20 - 28:cool1:

We aren't going to go for 16 days at one time. At least not for several years. lol. We tend to go for just a few days at a time and not necessarly in the same 1 year time. A 10 day non-expiring ticket with water parks & more gives us 16 days of playtime at a rate that is cheaper than buying the tickets in smaller amounts at the time we use them. Does this make sense?

[disneymotherof3]

if you book with AAA, how do you pay? Do you have to pay in full or can you do payments?

[Tink Wanna Be]

Yes, it does work for mods! I just booked 8 nights at POFQ with dining and the park ticket upgrades. So excited!

[amy2girls]

You can do payments through AAA, I usually pay $200 at a time until its payed off.:goodvibes

[emmabelle]

Garden View here as well. Hoping for nice weather, reasonable crowds and good health. Did you make any room requests?

I understand that - what I was saying though - it usually costs approximately 150 extra to add the non-expiring option to a ticket. It is not discounted in any way shape or form if it is done in advance when you purchase your package. So to me - why pay for something that far in advance when you don't get any sort of discount. Keep the money for a little while and pay it at guest services upon arrival to convert your tickets from expiring to non-expiring.

I think you can purchase the whole 10 day option with just a minimum of 3 days and get all the extra upgrades. I made a ressie for just 4 nights but purchased the 7 day option for the upgrades. I'll get the non-expiring option upon arrival and then on our next trip just increase the days to 10.

Yes. I requested Tokelau, 3rd flr, quiet pool side, near the beach end. I know its a LOT of requests but I will be happy with just Tokelau 3rd flr:banana: Did you make any requests?

I understand that - what I was saying though - it usually costs approximately 150 extra to add the non-expiring option to a ticket. It is not discounted in any way shape or form if it is done in advance when you purchase your package. So to me - why pay for something that far in advance when you don't get any sort of discount. Keep the money for a little while and pay it at guest services upon arrival to convert your tickets from expiring to non-expiring.

I think you can purchase the whole 10 day option with just a minimum of 3 days and get all the extra upgrades. I made a ressie for just 4 nights but purchased the 7 day option for the upgrades. I'll get the non-expiring option upon arrival and then on our next trip just increase the days to 10.


I dont know if it's new and not sure it applies but I saw something recently about not being able to upgrade partially used tickets after 14 days of the first use even if you have non expiration. Just thought I'd pass it on so that you can check it out so if it does apply you dont get there on the next trip to get told you can't add days.

Well someone said they thought you got a bit of a room discount with this new code, but apparently you don't. I just called to pay on my Sept 29th-Oct 7th trip (Bounce Back free dining:cool1: ). I used the phone option of 'upgrading your reservation'. Anyway after I paid on it, I asked him about the new ZEY code, room discounts, and if an AP code was coming out. For the AP code he laughed and said 'not yet, maybe soon'. He then said he would see what he could do and put me on hold for awhile. When he came back he said there was no way he could finagle a discount on the room. If he tried booking using just a one day MYW ticket the price was still $72.51 higher than a room only deal "at the moment". I went ahead and booked room only and am hoping for a AP discount. He did make an interesting comment that "when the AP discounts come out the price should go down around $300.00-$400.00". This is for a Value resort May 5th-13th, by the way. So maybe there is hope for an AP code yet!

I read that you did on mousesavers. and posted as such. but when I went back to look at it again later to rerun the numbers for another thread, the info on mousesavers had changed and no longer says so. It still says 400 for a family of 4 as the value of the ticket upgrades but if you go on disney site and look at a reservation, the difference is actually 332.

Does travel have to be completed by 6/2 or just started by that date?

Thanks for any help.

Any idea if I booked today for 4/21 and free dining comes out for August, can I move it to then even if I have paid in full?

[jjohnson]

complete guess on my part but if this promotion runs thru 6/2 there will not be a free dining promotion

Ok, I see what you were saying. Why not wait and add the non-expiring option there. That's fine with me. To keep the money in pocket until then.
I was wondering if they would let you get the 10 day ticket on 3 nights and upgrade them to ph/wp&m for free, then make it all non-expire. It wouldn't be worth it if the free upgrades couldn't be non-expiring as well...

They had discounts for these dates last year and still had free dining.

Yeah, we went at the end of May last year with basically the same promotion and again during free dining in Sept. ;)

[ruthma]

:cheer2: Yeah, we went at the end of May last year with basically the same promotion and again during free dining in Sept. ;)

I am still hoping for free dining. My trip is 9/19-9/26 and I have book it with my disney visa just in case free dining is offered to them first..

:) Yes. I requested Tokelau, 3rd flr, quiet pool side, near the beach end. I know its a LOT of requests but I will be happy with just Tokelau 3rd flr:banana: Did you make any requests?

:) Yes. Guess what? 3rd floor Tokelau with connecting rooms! See you there...somewhere...I'm not counting on my requests being met but it sure would be nice...

Wait a minute, you mean to tell me that if I were to get an AP and were staying at the Beach Club that the room would run about how much??? Am I reading this right? Is the room rate reduced by a hundred and something dollars for AP? We are booking a week at Beach Club for June 08 and then a week on the Wonder for my sons graduation, but if the rate I am thinking is true, we may HAVE to go this June also.:thumbsup2

[jjohnson]

I'm just going by the way Disney "usually" releases promotions. The free dining came out on 4/1 & needed to be booked by 6/4. The current promotion runs though 6/2. Of course all this could mean nothing & another promotion is released after 2/18 when this one expires. Who knows? We will all have to wait & see.

There are currently no AP discounts for June. The current AP discount runs through March 30, I believe. The current discount knocks $131 off deluxe resorts. This lowered my Poly GV from $449 (rack rate) to $318. I believe that the AP discounts are not the same each time they are offered; if they are even offered. Someone can correct me if that is wrong.

Ok, here's my situation, hope this gives you guys some idea....2 adults, 1 child age 4, 1 infant.

Values, std...7 nights, one day ticket $1611.76 with dining plan.
Mod's, std....7 nights, one day tocket $2128.08 with dining plan.
Deluxe, WL or AKL....7 nights, one day ticket $3112.00 with dining plan.


now to crunch the numbers....

May I ask where you got that quote? Does it include insurance? Wait, do you mean you only are only going to the park for one day (one day ticket)?

My cousin just called to tell me that on the Disney site, in the AP section, she got $79 a night for Pop Century or May 12th? This is a discount, but I can't get into the site to varify this. She said she say it today!

Are you sure about the date? When I check the only codes are for $23.00 off values for check ins 1/1/07-2/14/07 and another code for $40.00 off values for check ins 2/15/07-3/30/07. I called CRO to pay on my Sept-Oct trip and had the CM to check for either a code in my profile, an upcoming AP code, or to see if the new ticket upgrade code would give any kind of room discount and was told no. He said AP codes for April-May have not been released yet. He even put me on hold to go see what he could find out about any kind of room code for that time period, but found nothing.

Well I didn't stay up, went bed when the Prez started talking. Got to work and saw the new package posted on the disboards. Does nothing for me, not really impressed, but hope some folks can take advantage of it. I did notice right off the bat that Easter is skipped and the package ends right before the summer rush. Now back to waiting for the next exciting news and hopefully it will be the free ddp for Aug/Sep. popcorn::

I'm waiting right along with you...want to share the popcorn? LOL

[MemoryMakers2669]

Yeah, my cousin was wrong. After I thought about it, I knew she had to be. She swore she was right, until I had her read the email she got to me.
