I just called this morning to add an extra night on to my May trip, and was told there were no discount available for my dates.

That is the odd part...no real details yet! All I know is that there is a discount...CM could not give specifics like pass upgrade etc. It is not as big of a discount as some...but something is better than nothing, right? For those that got the Water Park Upgrade and you did not really want the water parks, it may be worth calling in to see if the new promo is better by dropping off water parks....does that make sense??? LOL

Just called with the BUC code. It was unavailable at ASMovies (where I'm staying of course.)

It was available at ASMusic and Pop Century. It's a savings of $15 per night. Instead of $99, the room only is $84.

I actually passed on it. It would save me about $105 over the 7 nights but honestly, I prefer ASMovies so much it's not worth $105 to me.

Oh well - Hopefully it will help others.

Doesnt list code. Only mentions Value resorts. But who knows. Booking dates as mentioned above.


Clicked get started and seeing what stuff comes up.....

Oops saw BUC was listed but not the package ones.
Looks like 15% savings for all rooms, couldnt find an option for adding tickets so online looks like room only.

Okay Port Orleans (dont remember which one) standard room 5/10-5/14 came up at 625 which means rate was about 139 per night (rack rate 165)

Wilderness Lodge Courtyard view, bunk bed 5/12-5/16 came up at 1143 or 254 per night, rack rate 345? this seems odd that is about a 25% savings hmm...

It looks like this code gives you a rate very similar to the rate you would get with a AAA discount. I currently have a AAA room only reservation for 5 nights in May at Pop Century for $473.35. PC wasn't avaiable for my dates but All Star Sports was and with this code Sports was $474.60 for the 5 nights.

I'll keep my AAA discount at the resort I wanted.

03-08-2007, 08:44 AM
is this a general public code? I'm not going then but I have a friend who is.

Motherofboys
03-08-2007, 08:44 AM
I just called and got a quote with the code ZEH, but I don't really see where the savings is. :confused3 I was quoted $1,088 for 3 adults, 3 1 day base tickets, 3 nights at CBR, DDP, and no insurance. :confused3 This isn't even better then the 15% off the room that AAA gave me. What a bummer :confused:

beth_cam
03-08-2007, 08:55 AM
I got a boardwalk villas (delux) and Old key west (home away from home) to come up with the 25% off as well. Still like my 40 but this isnt bad at all.

I believe the code for Magic Your Way is ZHD not ZDH. At least that is what the link from the main disboards page says, I haven't called yet, but plan to later today. Maybe that's why it wasn't working for others.

03-08-2007, 09:43 AM
i just called, and it would have been approx $55 more dollars for this promotion since i have the promotion of free ticket upgrades. he told me you can not use 2 promotion codes.

so i am sticking with what i have already.

TYPO and you are correct...however, CRO/WDTC should have been able to "see" the code....SORRY!

You could keep trying. When I tried to use a promotion code online for the time that I was going I had to try a few times, a few different days for it to finally give me Pop Century and NOT All Star Sports!

Is there not a $74 rate for the same time period?

We are looking about going down mid April and were hoping for something better than the $74 NOT more. :confused:

That is the price of the AP discount for a value resort, standard room.

This is from the website today:

$84 per night plus tax at select Disney Value Resorts
in a standard room.
Rates valid most nights April 15 - 19, April 22 - 26,
and April 29 - May 23.

The number of rooms available at this rate is limited. Additional per adult charges apply if more than two adults

03-08-2007, 10:13 AM
I originally had the AAA rate, then switched to the free tix deal which saved me about $20 total, and it looks like if this deal is 15%off, then it would be back to my original AAA quote, so I think I'll pass :sad1: I've gotten to used to the idea of going to the waterparks!!:dance3: Ya'll have fun and I hope to see you there!!!:banana: :banana:

Dazer22
03-08-2007, 10:16 AM
I phoned and the code ZHD or BUC ( on the disney site) gives you a Value Room rate of 84.00 during dates in April and May.

I too am sticking with my waterparks and hopper upgrade code.:banana: :banana:

We love waterparks and hopping.

so i am sticking with what i have already.

I also have the free hopper and water upgrade, and I called this morning, too. Like you, this promotion would actually cost more for me.


I guess this deal is still good for those who missed out on the upgrade promo and are now booking their trips.

planning06
03-08-2007, 10:30 AM
I currently have a ressie at a value with the free upgraded tickets. At a value it would cost be a little under $10 more for this promotion if I only did a park hopper, about $140 more if I did the water park, fun, and more tickets.

At a moderate it would be about a $75 savings if we did the hopper tickets, but a cost of about $50 if we did the water park, fun, and more tickets.

It's a better deal for me to stick with my current ressies. Like another poster said, I've gotten used to the idea of going to the water park now.

The only think that would make me look at it is if they have an availability at the mod I want which they didn't have with the other promo.

So the BUC code won't work for a room at the Poly?

ProudMomTo3Boys
03-08-2007, 01:06 PM
I can only use this code if I do a split stay because my dates are April 22- 28. But I want the dining plan and by the time I do a split stay and then add a 1 day base ticket to get the dining plan for the days that aren't part of this promo,( April 27 and 28 ) it probably won't be worth the hassle. What would you do?

beth_cam
03-08-2007, 01:13 PM

Yes it is good at the poly - depending on availability. I've seen a few people say they got it. And it looks like it is actually a 25% savings at delux.

It says "travel dates." That means your arrival date. You can use the code if your first night is within the dates. For example, your trip could start May 23 (the last day of the code) and the code would be good for the whole trip.

With the new code, I can upgrade to a courtyard view at WL from the woods view we currently have booked and I still save $50 off what I am paying now with AAA. AAA is saving be $200 on my woods view, while with the code I am saving about $700 on a courtyard view. Only problem, they only have courtyard bunk bed rooms available. Haven't decided what to do yet!:laundy:

Thanks so much!!!! I just booked AKL for 5/2-5/8, I wanted WL but it wasn't available with the ZHE code. With dining & hoppers it was $75 less than what I was paying at CBR.

WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!:cool1: :banana:

I had the ZHE code applied to my AKL ressie for 5/15-5/19 (I had to take a pool view room in order to get the discount) and we saved almost $900 on the package. Not too shabby - any little bit helps!

:sad2: Bummer, Bummer, and Bummer. I talked to a very nice CM that checked everything she possible could. I have a pin code and I also tried the three letter codes that just came out today and NOTHING was available for our travel dates (4/15-20) at the Poly. The CM (Ashley Anne) was super helpful though and definitely was willing to check everything under the sun for me.

Hopefully other dis-ers out there will have better luck with your dates!!

03-08-2007, 05:23 PM
I called around 3:45 and was able to get POLY (garden view)at 294/night plus tax for May 3-12. This is saving me around $500 over what I was paying for a AAA rate! I had given up hope for a code this trip when I wasn't able to get an AP rate there, but finally luck changed!!

If you can check in by the 23rd, and their is availability with the discount, you would still get the discount for the entire stay. We had to do this with the 40% code a while back (check in a day early), but it saved us on our whole trip. Plus we get an extra day at Disney!!

Hey, no fair! :upsidedow

To specify, code wasn't available at POFQ for my travel dates April 25-May 2.

I thought that there were only so many "slots" per resort...didn't realize the dates mattered as well.

n2mm, thanks for your reply. I will just keep watching. We are booked in for December and if they offer Free Dining I will just add some extra days to that rather than going this Spring.

We are retired, more time than money so I just bide my time until the 'price is right'. :thumbsup2

ga9497, thank you for your concern and taking the time. Our December trip is a whole 'nother trip. I got the $49 rate for that.

We were hoping to go this spring and then also IF they have the FD again late in September. We went for three weeks last year.

Just hanging around to see what happens next. Getting antsy though as we bought a new car last week and it is time for a 'road trip'. :cool1:

Can you use both AAA discount and code BUC for a room only?:confused3

I called and booked today and use the BUC code and got a rate of $94.92 a night for 7 nights for a grand total of $664.44 for 5/19-5/26. Would love to save more money of course .:)

Same thing happened to me - we are booked in a LV room at the Poly too and I was told by a super nice CM (Tobiah) that every discount for the Poly for my dates (May 22-29) was sold out. Such a bummer, but it won't stop me from staying at the Poly and having a great time!

We are booked in a garden view room. Maybe that made a difference. The CM said the code didn't exist at first. We told her our info. said otherwise. She looked deeper and lo and behold was able to find it and apply it to our existing ressie.
Good luck!:earsboy:

I tried to get POR this a.m. and nothing was available using the new discount codes - looking for May 22 - 30. Already have AAA package though so I don't think the new codes on a moderate would have been much more, if any, of a discount for us. CM did offer us the cabins at WL (knowing we were on "moderates" budget and needed room for 5) so I know they were avail. with the discount code if any one is interested.

Woohoo! I just called to try and get the MYW+DDP code added on to my existing POFQ ressie for 5/20-5/24 and they were all taken. So I asked them to check on the price for upgrading to the WL for the same dates. With a courtyard view I'm paying almost the same price as my original POFQ ressie!!! I make that out to be about a $700 savings from a normal WL courtyard booking. I've always wanted to stay at WL, and this trip is my honeymoon! :cool1:

I'm in a garden view at poly paying rack rate. there was nothing avail for poly with an ap. then i called to try this discount and was told nothing,but then she looked for a different view and said that if i upgraded ,that for the price of a lagoon view i can stay concierge. i figured if i'm going to pay rack rate anyway for 200. more i may as well stay concierge.

We had a one night booked for Poly in late April. Just called was told no discounts available (BUC or AAA) for any rooms for the Poly that night. So I switched reservations to Beach Club 25% off standard view (saved about $130.) Always wanted to stay at Poly...but Stormalong Bay will totally be worth it for our family and we'll visit Ohanas/Poly one evening.

We had CBR booked for Apr25-May 1. I heard about the code, and contacted customer service. They said CBR was not available, but CSR was...at a 20% savings.:thumbsup2 Not bad, but my DW has her heart set on the CBR pools.

The CM then offered us a 'special' deal to OKW. For a $50 increase from our CBR rezzie, she gave us a 1 bedroom villa. :woohoo:
Not sure what the code was, but the room rate was over half off the normal OKW rate.

Most excellent! That's some Disney magic! pixiedust:

03-09-2007, 03:21 PM
Wow - that sounds great. Would you mind sharing your rate?

I'm not sure actually, because I had a package deal for POFQ and I was able to keep the same settings with the new reservation. I saw that people were saying these codes apply a 25% discount to the deluxe resorts, although I tend to think I got a better deal than that because the rack rate on my POFQ room was $165 and the rack rate on the WL Courtyard room is $320. Hey, I'm not going to question it!!! :lmao:
