I'm subscribing to the November 2008 code watch. I'm planning to go from Nov. 1 thru Nov. 8 on Jersey week.

[JimmyJr'sMom]

Looking for a great discount to upgrade for my first family trip with my husbands family at WDW :thumbsup2 ... Right now booked at POFQ, 2 rooms, standard view, with AAA discount at $1500 for 5 Nights, 6 Days. :banana: WOULD :love: LOOOOVVEEE :love: to get a good rate for WL, CR, or GF!!!:yay:

PS- We're a little spoiled since we lucked out with the 40% code this year at POFQ, same week.

What days are Jersey Week for '08??


I don't have the school calendar for 2008, but this year is Nov. 8 & 9. So, based on that next year should be Nov. 6 & 7. There are only two days, Thursday and Friday, which we have teacher's convention and there is no school.

Oh good. I heard Jersey week is pretty crowded, but we leave for our cruise on the 6th, so no worries :)

What rate did you get for your flight and how did you book in over a year in advance??

[M2DD's]

Were planning on going nov.26 through the 7th of december 2008.We haven't decided where we are staying yet.It all depends on what discounts come out.I pretty sure there isn't going to be a discount for thanksgiving day or that wkend it seemd every year those days are blocked out.As of now the value resorts are 109$ so that isn't to bad. It seems that november of 2008 is to far away. We can keep each other company for the next yr.

[bjscheel]

I'm in! I think! I'm trying to decide if we could/should do Colorado in June AND Disney in November...

Thinking of the Saturday before Thanksgiving through perhaps the Saturday after. The plane tickets will be the toughest part to get a bargain on I think!

[mumom95]

Just wanted to say to all you November 2008 folks, I know it seems like a long time away, but it will be here before you know. I am going this November, 2007, and when I originally started planning it was over 400 days away. Now I'm down to 52 days to go!! :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

So hang in there!!

[momtris]

Thanksgiving '08 for us!

I started planning at over 500 days ahead, and today I have 402 days left! It already has flown by, so I know it will go by fast. Thanks for the encouragement :)

I think the most stressful thing is trying to save money.

[janloz]

subscribing, too. booked saturday after thanksgiving through following saturday for son's 11th birthday.

[Bama mom to 3]

We are going the week of Thanksgiving 08 also! I can't wait. I haven't been to Disney World since 2000. And my youngest DS has never been.

[xrayvin]

these code things confuse me but while I try to sort it all out I thought I would subscribe here!

If we are looking at Nov29-Dec 7 do I need Nov or Dec or both codes?

[onelugnut]

do i have to book now?

New too! Just booked our Land/Sea for 11/6-11/8 at Caribbean Beach, 11/9-11/13 DCL Wonder, and 11/13-11/16 Doubletree Downtown Disney. Definitely looking for any more discounts out there.

[pumpkin5156]

do i have to book now?


Most say the earlier you book the better rates you'll get. I know for me, I booked our land/sea in May 2007, and the rates have already gone up. Obviously, look for any specials you can find through AAA, or in the mail offers or on different websites. I don't think I'm allowed to list the websites here, but I can PM you if you want! :)

[Microcell]

Add me to the list for the week after Thanksgiving 2008. We booked bounceback for next September, but my husband is finally in a field where we can take off around holidays, so we are thinking leaving on Wednesday after Turkey Day and coming home that following Sunday so the kids only miss three days of school instead of five. Too much for DD this year in 4th grade to miss five days.

My logic is this- I continue to pay for September and keep an eye out for November deals and if none materialize we stick with September free dining.

I can't imagine there are any good codes out for next year for a while.

[marvin12]

Please add us to the list, Nov 29-Dec 6. Hoping for a good rate for the swan. But the All star movies will do.

[onelugnut]

does anyone know when the last day of the halloween thing will be for 2008?
i would like to catch just a day of that on my november trip.

[onelugnut]

one more while at it,

what besides villas, is the only resorts (on site) with 5 in a room
do poly, and contemp have 5 to a room?

[4nana]

Glad to see this Nov '08 thread and am subscribing! New at this and am gathering all info possbile for our family gathering (22 people) at the world. :goodvibes

Anyone been during this week and can guessitmate how massive crowds are at Thanksgiving??

TIA, as any and all info surely appreciated by this planning Nana! :hug:

[two*little*birds]

Woohoo... we just booked the Polynesian from November 9th - 19th, 2008.

10 magical days! :banana:

[Magical JenK]

Count us in! We've never been in November, so we'll miss the free dining (could have booked bounceback when were there last month) but excited to be there ANY time of the year!! Not sure on dates or resort yet will kinda depend on the discount! Hoping for Poly!! :0)

Here's to all of us November 2008'ers! It WILL be here before we know it!! :0)

[PaulaSue]

Add me, I am looking for a great code and will get one AP to book the 3 rooms needed for our family get-together (both sets of GPs), if needed.

[MommySiobhan]

Don't think I posted here yet:goodvibes

We were originally looking at Nov of 2007 but due to pregnancy are postponing until Nov 2008. It WILL be here soon!! :lmao: :yay: :rolleyes1

11/29-12/8 at either POR, CR, POLY or possibly renting from a DVC member.
Trying to weigh out the options.

Would LOVE a code to stay at the Poly. :wizard: :wizard: :wizard:

[tcp0421]

Just wondering how the crowds are in November, also what kind of discounts in November have there been in the past?

[MommySiobhan]

Just wondering how the crowds are in November, also what kind of discounts in November have there been in the past?

Before I had to cancel my package for this November, a code came out that gave a discount. ZQI or something like that, I believe, can't remember off the top of my head but I know that it saved me $500 almost off of my package. We were booked originally to stay at POR. Our dates were for the weekend after thanksgiving and it fell within the time of the code.

[MommySiobhan]

Oh, for the other part of your question :cutie:
I have never been in November but previously I've asked the same question.
I've been told that Thanksgiving is busy but afterwards is an awesome time to go. Not so bad crowds and beautiful weather, in addition to the decorations and christmas festivities.
They had me sold and I can't wait to go. :banana:

[Johnacon]

How do you get codes for special rates?

[xrayvin]

Well we booked for Nov 29-Dec 7 2008!!:cheer2: Port Orleans French Quater here we come. We are so excited and now I am hoping a code comes available and we get a better deal! Does anyone know when they usually appear...months, weeks, days before?

[rgrgirl]

I am in! We go every Thanksgiving. Hopefully there will be a discount that does not omit Thanksgiving dates. Maybe....

[Ashley Kees]

Good lord, count me in! Our trip just went from February 2009 for 5 to NOVEMBER 2008 FOR 10!! AAAAHHHH!!!! I needs me a good code!

[MOMtoZachEvanGrace]

We are going to be there at POP Nov 7th-Nov17th 2008. Hoping for a great code to come out:cool1: We are going with my DH family and my sister. There will be 12 of us all together. Our first trip with the whole family can't wait:banana:

[lmillercrew]

OOPS I didn't see this thread, so I asked again. I'm subscribing to this thread also. I haven't booked the trip but am planning. Hopefully we'll see one.

[lovin diz]

i'm subscribing. Nov 14th - 23rd for us. :banana:

[JimmyJr'sMom]

Going with Extended Family in 08!:cool1:

[yrdlyprincess]

does anyone know what the crowds are like from Oct 31-till like Nov 10??? I think that is when we will have to go next time (which means I will lose free dining-but at least I will get MNSSHP!!)

[1DISNEYLVR]

Subscribing. Not sure of our exact dates yet, but we are planning on going for DS2's 1st trip to Disney in Nov 08! :cheer2:

Has anyone booked a AAA rate for Nov 08 yet?

[1DISNEYLVR]

Replying to my own post...I called today & got the AAA rate for the Poly
Nov. 1-8 2008, $359/nt before taxes. I hope a better discount comes out! :)

[Crystal_27]

Add me to the code-hopefuls. Planning on going November 1-8 to celebrate DH's 33rd birthday.

[momtwo4]

Just booked POR, garden view for Nov 1-8, 8 day park hopper, DDP thru AAA. Total came to $3,421.03 for 2 adults and 3 kids. Now to plan for the next 12 months:woohoo:

[december]

I joined the Nov. 07 codewatch about this time last year. It seemed so far ahead, and now it is 7 days until my Thanksgiving trip!:cool1: :cool1: :cool1: The codes saved me $339 for 3 (me, ds10, dd8) at a value resort (had to switch from Pop to Sports), for 6 nights and the dining plan. I found out about the codes from the thread early the morning they came out, before any other announcements were made. I could have booked a moderate for $3 more than a value at original price, but went with the savings instead.

I'm hoping to take another trip next Thanksgiving with my sister and nephew. I'm hoping the codes are as good!

[jewlz]

Count me in , I need november 2008 codes !

[Jedi_Galvatron]

Just got back at the end of October, but yeah I'll be going back November 2008. I had an offer for up to 30% off my next trip in my room, but the dates I wanted in November 2008 didn't match what they were offering and it was room only, I like package deals. So now I'm looking forward to a great code like I used this year.

[Domsmom]

:rolleyes1 :hourglass I am looking for codes to go Nov 2008 around Veterans Day.

[jeminni]

I'd like to book to go hit the end of F&W festival and be there to see the Christmas decorations and Osborne lights. Does Nov7-14th seem like a good time for that?

I just got back Weds night and can't wait to go back . :goodvibes :lmao:

[Dawn68PA]

Sign me up!

We are planning for November 8-15, 2008. Can you use a code after you've booked? Just call and change? I'd also be interested to know if the Christmas decorations are up in November. I hear they are just phenomenal!

Planning to stay at ASM with dining. This is the plan we used the last time we went and it was great. I didn't have to worry about a thing. :goodvibes

[Bama mom to 3]

So who all here is planning on doing the DDP even with the changes made too it? We are still trying to tally things up to see if it will be better for us to do it or not. Just have a few more menus to look over to see if its gonna pay off doing it.

[Crystal_27]

We did the same calculations, and found that the DDP would COST us about $100 when I calculated what restaurants I was planning on eating at. I'm hoping that if any code comes out it's for a reduction of the room rate because the DDP just holds no interest to me (although I guess if it were free that would be a different story because there would be a significant savings at that point :laughing: ). Oh well, we can only wait and watch.

[momtwo4]

I booked with the dining plan. I'm not too happy about the changes but once we are there I would rather have most of the dining paid for. 2 of my 3 kids going with us are big eaters and can out eat me, so its worth it to me. I don't know if its saving us anything, but easier for us.

Yes to everything! I booked my trip (2 days:cool1: to go!) before Christmas last year and had the code applied when they came out. The Christmas stuff starts before Thanksgiving, so the decorations are up. I can't wait! We'll be doing MVMCP, seeing the Christmas parades in AK and MGM, and touring resorts (while eating there) to see the decorations!

[richmo]

It'll vary...there's a few things to keep in mind during that period.
1) Halloween
2) The soap weekend was about that time this year
3) NJ schools are out usually the first Thu and Fri of November...thus Disney's "Jersey Week", which picks the crowds up.

[Dawn68PA]

Being that the basic DDP is only $37 and some change for each person/each day, it will still save money to use it. Heck, one meal is counter service and you don't tip there anyway. Without the DDP, I can't feed a family of 6, each person, each day for that money. Plus I don't want to have to think that hard on vacation. :rotfl: I'll use it for the ease and I believe it's saving me money.

We are scheduled for bounceback free dining next September, but will keep an eye out, would rather go in November if we can get a good rate!

Hi,
Does anyone know what the blackout dates were from this years codes?? We are planning a Nov. '08 trip; 3 nights at CR & 4 nights on a cruise.

We are looking at staying at the CR from 11/27 (Thanksgiving Day) - 11/30 & then start our cruise.

I was wondering if you think those days will be blacked our from the potential codes due to Thanksgiving?? Does anyone know if Thanksgiving was blacked out this year??

TIA!!

[PrincessEeyore]

is Jersey Week really as crowded as everyone says? I was there a few years ago and it wasn't bad at all. My friend just went this year and she said the parks weren't bad. Just wondering because my family is planning for November 2008 on Jersey Weeek, so the 1st to the 8th. Thanks for the help.

[DisneyRulz07]

Im looking also....Second Week Nov.

[krmlaw]

DH wants to go over Thanksgiving ... do codes apply then?

[december]

Mine did. I went 11/16-11/22 (Fri-Thu) and saved $339 on a value-just had to switch from Pop to Sports. I could have gone up to a moderate for about $2 more than I originally paid for Pop, but decided to save the money instead.

[Dawn68PA]

Just out of curiosity...what were the November discounts they offered this year? I don't need the code....just curious as to what and if they offered any goodies so I can get my hopes up ahead of time. :rolleyes1

My post was right above yours. With the package w/ dining codes I saved $339 for a 6 night trip with 1 adult 2 kids on a value. The moderate price was like $2 more than the values. I debated moving up to a moderate, but took the refund instead. The deluxe rates were good, but I don't have any numbers for you.

We went this year during "Jersey Week" and did not have any problems at all. In fact there seemed to be alot of people walking around sometimes but the wait times for rides weren't too bad. The only big wait times were at Epcot which I believe they always have big wait times. So I say dont worry about it and have a good time!:banana:

Being from Jersey, we've been down a number of times during Jersey Week and it's not too bad. Epcot does get crowded because you also have the Food and Wine Festival and then DTD has the Festival of Masters ( I think that's wat the call it. We usualy try to do all of the parks early in the week and when it gets a little busier later in the week we go to the water park or just adjust our schedules around the crowds.

Since this year we are going down in December I'm hoping there might be a bounceback available for November.

Nice savings :thumbsup2 Thanks for the info. It's great that you can use a code after booking and also have the option of bumping up. I'm like you though. I would have taken the refund as well. I'm booking in the resort we actually want to stay at.

[tommygunn]

Me subscribey!

[fairestoneofall]

I'm booked for Nov 25 through December 2 I'm desperately hoping for a code so that I can keep my MK Tower View room at the Contemporary (my original plan was to split our stay to save money, but I went ahead and booked the entire thing in an MK view room).

[Monica20039]

I just booked our Disneymoon for November 15-22 at CSR.

I hope a code comes out so we can save some money!!

:love:

[OneBadApple]

I'm hoping to get in another trip next November. Here's hoping for a very good code.

[Conway733]

DH and myself are planning to be in WDW 11/30/08-12/05/08. We were supposed to go THIS past November, however I somehow managed to get mono, and just wasn't up for it. Now of course, I feel much better and wish we would have gone! :rolleyes1 Anyway, I haven't made any reservations yet...but am thinking about renting DVC points to stay at OKW or BWV. If that doesn't work I suppose I'll wait around until the Disney Visa deals are announced...which will be a long wait. :eek: In the meantime, I guess I should find a part time job. :lmao:

I am also trying to plan a trip in November for my husband and two boys - none of which have been before. I went several times growing up, but always stayed offsite. I would love to stay on-site, and would love to hear input not only on codes, but suggestion on where to stay. I know the deluxe look great, but don't know that I want to spend that kind of money when you are not in the room that much.

Thanks!!!:cheer2:

[Dawn68PA]

We have always stayed at the economy resorts. I love them. Right for the money and very nicely themed. My family is planning to go November 8-15 next year and stay at the All Star Movies. This time we'll get 2 rooms since the DD's are bringing their boyfriends. The boyfriends get their own room. :thumbsup2

I can't imagine not staying on site. Especially since we have teenagers that may want to stay out later or go to DTD on a night that DH & I want to turn in early. The bus system is easy to navigate although not always the quickest way to get to the park.

Read through the boards and you'll find a pound of information and get to know some very sweet people. :hippie:

I've stayed at the all stars a few times. Do you have specific questions? I can write a book or try to give you info you are looking for.
What ages are your boys?

A good place to watch for codes, is mousesavers.com (another addiction site) and AAA offers nice discounts.

[december]

ball4fun, we've stayed at AllStar Sports both of our trips. Ds10 loves it and doesn't want to stay anywhere else. They are updating all the rooms.
We got to stay in a "new" room in Nov, and it was really nice.

I let ds10 choose the hotel for our first trip in July 06, since he turned 9 that week. He fell in love with Sports from the pictures. For our Thanksgiving 07 trip, I let dd8 choose and booked Pop. When the codes came out I could only use them at Sports, but had no problem with switching.

[DisneyFreq]

Okay so I'll add myself to the list.

It will be two years by this point (not counting the one day Dh and I went down for my birthday in Sept).

So far I'm thinking Nov 21-27 but that may be shortened if no good codes come out.

Anyone had any experience checking out ON Thanksgiving day? Do I avoid most of the crowd? Bad thing is I get to join the hordes on the road that day and its a 6 hour trip home. :sad2:

Welcome TeacherMe. You will be arriving the same day as me. We are going to be at POR also. We are leaving the 29th though so the kids will have Sunday to recoupe after the trip since we are going during Fall break.

[WDW Donna]

We are planning for November 9-14 and want to try the Poly for the first time. Would love any codes that come this way! Does it matter if we are booking from Canada?

[JMSMommy]

changed our minds! LOL I think we're doing a short trip this year and a long trip in 2009...and now looking at checking Wed Nov 12 and checking out Sun Nov 16 or Mon Nov 17. :woohoo:

3 or 4 full days in the parks should be enough to give us our Disney Fix. Then we'll play a 9-10 day trip in 2009 when our middle child should be 48 inches and the youngest 36 inches. That trip we'll add on Universal for one day, and possibly go during a time the water parks would make sense. ;)

NOW, I need a code for November. When do they typically come out?

Add me to the list we are going Nov. 23rd - Nov.29th. Hoping for some kind of code.

[LuvAriel]

OK, I have a question.

If by some small miracle a code comes out for November like this past year, will it be applied to my entire trip as long as I check in before the last day it is available??

Last year it excluded Thanksgiving week & the last day to use it was the Saturday prior to Thanksgiving, if by some chance the dates are the same & I check in on that last day the code is valid, will it be applied to my entire length of stay??

TIA.

[onelugnut]

yes it will be applied but i think there is a time before your trip that you must get the code in before.
I helped someone last year and they got it in on the last possible day.

now i have a question, does anyone remember the exact dates allowable for
last years code?
meaning. I think they are blocking out the "Jersey week" this year.
but if i have my first day of my vacation in the week that isnt blocked out,
then i still get the code rate even if the other 5 days are during the blocked out week right?

does anyone understand me?

and when do we expect novembers code to come out again?
usually not until august right?

I'm REALLY keeping my fingers crossed for a code - otherwise we might not be able to do our 10 day trip as planned. :scared:

[aprhj]

we are hoping to go starting Nov 30 or sometime shortly after to take advantage of value season.

Question-
Can you book now, with Disney VISA, and then apply a code even if it would require you changing hotels or dates when the code becomes available?

Is there a penalty fee for changes?

thanks

[onelugnut]

just found some answers to my own questions, and thought i would share

here is some copy and pastes from last years nov code threads.

general public for check-in 9/30-11/19, 11/24-11/28, and 12/8-12/23. If you book online the code is ZGD, and over the phone the code is ZGH.


Value Resorts Discounts:
$59 per night plus tax* for stays most nights: Sept 30 - Oct 3, Nov 25 - 29, and Dec 8 - 19, 2007, Sunday through Thursday stays only

No fee, and you can make changes. I booked in Dec. 2006 for our Thanksgiving 2007 trip. When the codes came out I had to change from Pop to Sports, but there was no fee involved. I saved over $300 with the code, so switching to Sports was a no brainer for me!

So there was a code over Thanksgiving? I hope so since thats when I will be there. I wonder if there was and I had to change from POR to one of the values, if I would be able to get 2 adjoining rooms since there are 5 of us.

I checked in the Friday before Thanksgiving, and left Thanksgiving day. The first person I talked to (the morning the codes came out after about 45 minutes on the phone) said I couldn't use it. I called back the next morning and was allowed to use it with no problem. The lesson here is don't give up! Keep calling for awhile and you never know what you will get!

[onelugnut]

i am trying to understand when the blackouts effect your bill.
as they are saying for the tday trips.
if their trip started before the blackout, ie, their check-IN day is not in the blackout period, then they still get to use the code.
am i right on that?

like in my example, if the code is good from 10-1 to 10-30, and 11-9 to 11-22
ergo,
it behooves me to leave a few days earlier and arrive on 10-30 to get the code rate for my whole vacation
right?

Remember that WDW changed their policies this year! Before, you got the rate of your check in date for the whole trip. Now you are charged day by day. So I'm not sure if the codes will be applied differently this year. Yes, I was able to do that during Thanksgiving of 07. I have no idea if you can do it in 08!

I think last year when they applied the code, you were charged day by day. The only reason I think that is because many people said that the cost went up have applying the discount and IIRC they were checking in on the last day of value.

Does anyone know if these codes have ever included the cabins at FW? If we go this year (keeping fingers crossed), my parents have expressed a great interest in going and the cabin would be perfect for us.

I tried to book Nov 8th - 16th and was told there was no code. After doing a little research here I called back and tried Nov 9th - 16th and guess what?? there was a code attached to my name. The very kind CM told me it was not valid for the 8th. I would have to pay full rate for the 8th then I could use the code for the balance of our trip.

Since many people have been asking about last years code.

A code offered last year (I saw it on a very well known discount code site, that I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say the name)...

I don't know blackout dates. I know I priced it for both after Columbus Day in October and for the second week of December and the amount was the same.

This is what it included:
2 Adults
7 night stay at Pop Century
5 day base MYW tickets

The total was somewhere around $750 and some change.

I was wondering when is NJ week?

As far as codes go.... there are a whole lot of other threads where people are asking questions and explaining them. I'm sure they would be helpful to you. http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=93

But this is what happened to me. I got a 40% off code in an e-mail. The e-mail gave me certain dates I could use the code for. The codes are for a discount on room only. You can add any meal plan and tickets, but the discount is not for the whole package, just the room.

What a coincidence.... I had a border collie growing up (lived on a farm and the dog was a working sheep dog ..... who preferred to herd pigs :rotfl2: because he liked the sound of the squeels that the pigs made :rotfl:

I got an email from Disney today with a PIN offer...too bad it was for this spring. I'm so disappointed. I think I might call next week and see if they can do anything for November for me (Nov 7-16). Maybe they'll note in the computer and something will come from it. I don't think it will hurt to try.

I just got a 40% off pin code for November 9-21 so they're out there! Good Luck!

We want to go the Sunday after Thanksgiving to Dec 6th. What do you think are the chances for a public code at that time? We'll stay value & with AAA it's already on $64.00 per night, but obviously any money saved is good. Are there ever any discounts on tickets & dining (other than the free Sept dining?)

I don't know if there were blackout dates, but last year there was a code out and I thought it was a good discount.

I got a pin code for April :cheer2: and I can use it for July and November also :banana: :banana: Im on the phone right now I got the code via E-MAIL

[mdcarr187]

I got a code for 1 week in Oct, 1 week in Nov and 1 in Dec. Here is the thing though. My mom has ALWAYS made the reservations under her name, but they looked under the other people on our account and THEY had the pin. Check your other family members!!! They might have the code even if the primary doesn't! Got 40% at WL in Dec ressie on file now! =) I had to call about 15 times to check the info because some people could find it and some could not. My rec. is to make a reservation of any kind with the code... then change the dates/ rooms later! Get the pin reserved! Hope this helps someone!:yay:

I have been researching my family vacation (mom, dad, me, my 2 sisters, 3 husbands/wives and 5 grandchildren) 13 total for the past 2 months on here.
Great source of info on here
All but my younger sister and her husband (she was 7 mos pregnant and the baby came a month early!) were at CBR for a week in Oct 2006 and loved it.
We were resigned to staying at one of the Moderates but were undecided so far for our Nov 2008 trip. We were getting together at my parents cabin this weekend and we were gonna nail down the details for this years trip
Yesterday, inspired by this thread, I had each one of the family members call Disney and ask if we had any codes..
My parents called back with a 40% code!!
Only problem was he was told he could only use it for 3 rooms total
Since my family was goiing for only 6 days, and the rest 8 days, it made sense that the 40% discounts go to the families who were staying for the week, leaving me hi and dry (but not bitter, well, not too bitter lol)
When my wife and kids decided to only do 6 days (we are the only ones who have 2 school age kids) and were spending a little less than our original budget, we started looking at the deluxe resorts, really liking the Boardwalk and beach resorts. The rest of the family wasn't completely sold on spending the extra for the deluxe
So dad and my sister burned up the Disney phone lines this morning. I told them to make thier reservations and I would look at my AAA discount or other alternatives
My sister told the Disney reservation our story, that we were thinking of upgrading to a deluxe and that one family (me) wouldn't be included in the 40% discount. Disney wanted my sister to commit but she didn't want to without talking it over with the rest of us, and she asked if she could call the reservation operator back a little later, the operator said no, BUT took my sisters number and said she would call her back in a short while.
The operator called back in a little while and said she had good news, she spoke to her superiors and we could get all 4 famlies in on the 40% discount!!
So we are in, Beach Club in Nov 2008!!!!!!
I don't know how they did it or if its just Disney Magic (or our special angel above looking out for us :)) but we are in!!!!

Thanks for the idea to call Disney and see if we were in the system. I have to go to the Beach Club forum and read dozens of pages to get us familiar with the new digs!!!!

Hello All, just so you know :sad1: the code I got is NOT GOOD for me at all for any of the trips I will be taking, I would have had to change my dates and resorts, and i was not able to play around with any dates......just my luck:sad2: .

Ok So I'm back waiting for a code I have 3 trips planned i really hope to get a code for atleast on of the vacations

[Mozart]

Help me out with something here. I've never called Disney and asked for a code. How does that work? Do I simply call the reservation line, give them my name, and ask if there are any applicable codes I can use? Right now we have one night booked on property, and are thinking about booking a second night. Should I tell them that, or will they just look up my name and see if I have anything available? :confused3

DCL is so much easier to work with. They just don't give any discounts. :rotfl:

[Pierceman]

We just called the Disney reservation line and asked if there were any codes in our name. They asked my name, address, last time I was at Disney and looked for us.
THey would not let me look for my other family members, but I thinking they let my sister check names

Good luck

What are your dates Rich. I am staying at the Beach Club Nov. 8 & 9, but I am renting points, since the 40% don't start until Nov. 9.

I just got a 40% off pin code for November 9-21 so they're out there! Good Luck!

Hi Dawn Did you already have your reservations when you got the code? I am going to book some time between the 12th and 17th. Thanks Nettii:goodvibes

What if you are checking in on Nov21st? Would you still be able to use the coder for length of stay or just for the one night?:confused3

[Cilla0025]

We're going 11/1 thru 11/8 - just read some of the recent posts and decided to try my luck. Unfortunately, there "are no promotions linked to our household".

Darn!!! :confused3

[Momtoredheads]

Just booked for 11/22-11/30 but need a code!!!

[rgrgirl]

Can you book a trip and then use a discount code after you have booked, will they go back and apply that discount?

I don't know about others experiences, but with me they would only let me use the 40% off code for the days the code was good for. So it seems to me that if you are checking in on the 21st then that is the only night you can use the 40% off code.

We too are wanting to plan a makeup trip for Nov. 21-26 due to having to leave early on our Feb. trip. Lost a lot of $ that trip and would like to have a better discount than our AAA discount.:thumbsup2

[melissa.irwin]

I'm in for the info too! Planning on Nov. 3 - Dec. 6/08! :)

[BeckWhy]

I would love to stay at Poly... but unless the discount makes it cost the same as POP with a discount... it ain't going to happen... I need the money for other things....



You know.. November cannot come fast enough!

NOVEMBER NOVEMBER!

I'm still really sad my ex isn't going with me! :sad:

subbing! :D i wanted to post anyway & say hi to the November people! we've revamped our trip possibilities a few times (starting with a cruise but now we're looking at 2009!). any code is a good code!

[Goofy One]

Okay,

I am going to try and make the reservations now for mid November and since I am a newbie at trying to deal directly with Disney for setting up the trip, I have a couple questions.(used AAA the other times we went)

-Is it worth while to call now to ask if they have any discounts available for November or will there be nothing for until the middle of the year?

-Is there any special jargon that can be used when asking about available discounts?

-Is this the best number to call (407) 939-6244?

I will do my best to answer your questions to the best of my knowledge... perhaps there are others out there who may know better.

You can call and ask if there are discounts avail for November. It never hurts to ask, but my assumption is they will tell you no.

Sometimes you get CMs who know things some some who don't. And if you get someone who doesn't know a lot, then it doesn't matter what you say. When I call I just ask if there is a code or pin attached to my name. Once they asked for my husband's name and they were going to check his name, but I am not married. I have also checked to see if my mom has a code attached to her name.

To the best of my knowledge general codes will not be released until August or September. I have heard some people say they have called and booked their trip and canceled and have gotten codes that way. You can try that.
