40% code rates

[sabrinadv1]

Everyone is discussing the code but, Iwas wondering what kid of rates everyone is getting with this.

[wvjovifan]

I got the email from Disney Destinations and called last night and got WL for 4 nights in December and got the rate of $135 a night ($151 with tax)!! Great rate and we weren't really planning on going, but couldn't pass that up!! We usually book packages, but will save loads more by doing room only.

[MickeyNicki]

I got March 30th to April 5th at the OKW for $1245 including the taxes. They also quoted me $1100 for 3 nights at Club Level standard room at the the Poly for 3/30 to 4/2 and $1000 for the same three nights lagoon view. Also had 4/2 to 4/5 AK savanah view for $693

In Oct 19th to the 25th they had the GF was $260 garden view and $330 park view (per night), YC, BC and BW for $221 per night, Poly garden view for $239 per night, AK standard room for $169. I would up booking BW waterview for $239 per night for 3 nights and AK CLub Level savanah view for $229 for 3 nights.

[Soccer Princess]

$54.90 / night at Pop. March 31-April 4

[chanty]

I can't wait to get ours! :thumbsup2

[Tink415]

40% email 1/26-1/27 CSR water view $99 night, AP 1/28 POR stnd view $99. Not much available with discounts or rack rate. Wonder what's going on, I thought January was slow season?!

[queenof3]

Okay, please forgive my ignorance. I did get an email from Disney Destinations but I don't see a 40% off code anywhere. We only have a reservation on "hold" because we have not officially decided on anything yet. Is that why? Do the emails say different things? Where does it say it on the email?
Thanks!

[PartyofSix]

I got a large postcard mailer today it was this 40% off code you mentioned here. It's like a dark grey color on the out side with a yellow highlighted code right above our name. We where not planning on going till next year but may not be able to pass up this offer. We'd choose dec value season if we use it.

[queenb70]

How does one get a discount code?:worship:

[steffali]

Is this offer for room only or can you book a package too??

[MickeyNicki]

Is this offer for room only or can you book a package too??

Tickets and dining plan UP TO 40% off as well. I got a quote for 2 adult 5 day park hoppers, one week at OKW and the deluxe dining plan for $2670 but we decided to buy APs and DDE instead (week of March 30th)

[Cinderella Fan]

What are the dates?

[kimberh]

Would one of you please PM me the code.:thumbsup2

Sabrina good to see you are thinking of going to Disney, things must have turned around!

All the codes I have heard of on post cards and e-mails are name specific. I have no idea how to get on a mailing list... We received a code after we requested a planning dvd with specific dates. You can't use someone elses code unless it is for the general public... (I think):confused3

You are correct. My # code was specifically to my name. I got AKL Aug. 29, 30 & 31 for $135 plus tax. I am paying the higher fee because it is a weekend. Otherwise it would be $129 for weekdays. This is a standard view room. We don't mind.

[sabrinadv1]

I am thinking of doing a trip in Dec. for my mother and children Kimberh. I haven't even been on the Dis in a month. I really am sorry I left you with a mess. Life goes on and you can either decide to live it or let it live you. I have decided that I am not going to give up the things I love because my life didn't turn out the way I thought it was going to.

[dlstc]

My PIN/post card is for room discount only. I checked with a CM and online and the GF club rate was $550 before discount, $303 after - exactly 40%. The dates are value season.

Jan 6-17
Jan 20-31
Feb 24-Mar 5
Mar 30-Apr 8
Aug 10-Sept 27
Nov 9-Nov 15
Dec 7 - Dec 17

Right now, AKL sav view for $174/night is looking good to me.

The CM I spoke to said Dec is filling up at these rates. We are going in May (free transportation and free room thanks to nearby conference), but I'm thinking of taking a second adult trip in May to celebrate a birthday.

How did we get a code? No idea. This is like the third one in the last two years (sorry) but the first one we've even considered using because of the dates and our school aged children. It was addressed to DH who has never had a room booked under his name, does not have a Disney Visa, has never requested a vacation DVD, hasn't had any contact other than a three day hopper ticket four years ago. Go figure.

I hope you don't mind if I ask you a question. I thought you could probably help me. I got the 40% off code in an e-mail. It is for room only. When I called today to make my reservation, the CM I talked to said if I used the code on the room then I couldn't get the dining plan. He said that I would have to pick between using the code on the room and the dining plan. He said that if I use the code on the room I will just have to pay out of pocket for meals.

I don't understand this. I have read on here about lots of people using the code on their room and still getting the dining plan. Do you have any advice?

[DizneyDogs]

I got the 40% code and looking at booking in December for the one offered the 7th - 17th. Since I don't know my specific dates should I book the whole time frame and then just modify it later? Will I still be able to get the same rate if I make changes by taking some days off it?

That's a good plan. I often do this when I book a reservation, especially a DVC room with my points. I book the timeframe I think I'm going then drop a day or two at the beginning or/and end once I decide on airfare. It's easier to have it now then to wait and try to add a day on later.

[brighteyes]

How long can you stay with these codes? Is there a maximum stay? And can you add the dining plan to these codes?

If I got a code, I would be able to go for two weeks!!! I am doubtful that I will receive a code though as I have only been to WDW once but am dying to go again of course.:cloud9:

Stephanie

[dandave]

I have AKL club level, room only for $234 plus tax a night in April. I paid $299 plus tax way back in May of 2001 with an AP discount, so I'm thrilled. The price of something in WDW has actually gone down! :thumbsup2

I don't think you can be barred from purchasing the dining plan...I got a 40% off code for room only last year. In that case there was also free dining and I think THAT was either/or...it turned out that for us a discounted room at WL and purchasing the dining plan was cheaper than a mod and free dining. Could the CM perhaps have been talking about not being able to combine the room discount with a package? You can purchase the dining plan as a separate entity...just not as part of a package. Is that making sense? Like I said, I could be wrong...but really it all depends on which CM you talk to. You should call back. Just to clarify...and if you don't like the answer you get...just hang up and call back until you get the answer you want! That's the Disney way!!;)

[Blessedx3]

I also recvd the code yesterday. I am so dissappointed. I cannot get anything even with eing flexable with my dates. I was hoping to get CL at the poly or AKL> Oh well maybe next time.:sad2:

[Gymbomom]

We booked Sept. 18-28 @ Carribean Beach
10 nights of dining for 3 adults and 1 child (kids are 11 and 7)
10 day park hopper

our total before we applied discount was $4,030

After Discount $3,359:cool1:

We still hope for FREE dining...which would be additional $540 of savings.

(I assume you can not combine discounts, you have to go with one or the other, correct??)

I am so excited to at least have SOME kind of discount and SO early!!! :goodvibes
I thought I was going to have to wait till April to see any discounts!!!!

[Tnkrbelle565]

Yup, can't combine savings. One code or another. I tried calling again this morning. No code under me or my husband but I did correct that they had the wrong address for my husband. Where do they get their info? It's so weird.

[G8r4evr]

Just out of curiousity, when you get a 40% code in email, does it literally say 40% OFF or is that just what the code generally ends up bringing the rate down to?

I dont understand why this is being told to so many people, this is NOT TRUE , you cant use 40%off and free ddp but you can use it for your room then add ddp (full price)...i have done this many times and I am sure some cm would get into to trouble for discouraging people from getting the ddp, they loose money because in order to get ddp you have to buy a one day ticket at least (at their price) .

I just called again. The CM told me that you CAN NOT purchase the dining plan if you use the 40% off deal.

Has anyone been able to purchase the plan when using the 40% off?

Amy

[sherryrae]

I just booked 5 nights at Beach Club for August with the 40% off code yesterday and had no problem getting the dining plan added. In fact the CM asked if I wanted to add that to my package. Did you ask to get the tickets also? I don't know but maybe you need to have everything included?

[texasteacher35]

I just called again. The CM told me that you CAN NOT purchase the dining plan if you use the 40% off deal.

Has anyone been able to purchase the plan when using the 40% off?

Amy

YES! I was just there in late October and I got 40% off my room rate the the GF AND I purchased the dining plan! That CM is NOT RIGHT! Call them :thumbsup2 back!

[livie1205]

yep got the ddp with my room and used the 40% off...did this last year too....they were wrong, the 40% is off room only but if you add a one day ticket you can get the ddp with that....i got AKL CLUB LEVEL,ddp, one day ticket (i will upgrade to fl res) for 5 nights for 2 adults,1 jr and i child for 1900.00 and that is after tax that is also with a sat night stay in there (dont know how much that was)but without 40% the room alone would have been around 1725.00 and whole package would have been around 2500.00 (did not do math to exact number)and i did not have one problem adding ddp.

[tnmomof4]

I just wanted to say thanks to those of you who told me to try calling again when I said the CM I talked to wouldn't let me use my 40% off code.

I just called and talked to a really helpful CM. She was more than happy to apply the code to my reservation (room only portion). It saved me over $700.00.

She said that it is a lot of computer work on her end to apply it and that is probably why the other person I talked to said it couldn't be done. He just didn't want the work for himself.

So thanks for the advice to call again!!!

[shelly3girls]

I received a postcard today. Can I check rates online using the code or do I need to call?

[Disneyland_Mama]

I received the code as well and got a 2 bedroom villa @ SSR for $318 per night.

[AlicynWonderland]

I used my code last night to book 7 nights standard room in Oct for my family of 4 at CR. We paid 1923.41. :yay: I called back to change my standard room to a tower room and CM told me 40% off code only applied to standard room....can anyone confirm or deny this? We really wanted the tower.

[dawz1026]

from my computer to mailbox.......:surfweb: :confused3 oh were is my code????:guilty:

i used mine for club level at akl maybe there are no tower rooms left with that code, could be it but you can always call back...it is not just for standard rooms

[Luv2Roam]

Currently WDTC packages include tickets. So a package with dining would include room, tickets and dining. It could be the room or resort they want is not available or offered during the time they wish. :confused3
I think many assume they can book a room only res and just attach the DDP if they wish. This would be turning a room only res into a WDTC package.

[cobbler]

What is the best way to ask if you have a code. I have received a few emails from Disney Destinations and just skimmed them, not really looking at the content and I may have deleted it. What do I ask a CM when I call to see if I do indeed have one?

[Turtlegirl]

I received the e-mail on Tuesday evening via e-mail. I had recently requested the planning dvd. The e-mail was from Disney Destinations LLC and said 40 % off deluxe resorts and gave 7 different times when you could book. These are "wonderful weeks" as defined by Disney-they must be low occupancy. In Sept., value season, 40 % off value price of $340 was $204 garden view Polynesian. October-regular season Poly GV $239 (40% off $399) & AKL Savannah View $207 40% off $345. You can view what the normal season price would be on-line and then take 40% off that way you know if you're being quoted the correct price. I was able to add the DDDP.

I called at least 5 times and some CSRs were very knowledgeable and helpful and some wer quite confused.

Just call WDW CRO and tell them you'd like to check on availability and rates. Give them the dates you'd be interested in and the resort and ask if you are eligible for any type of discount. If not, then you can always say that you'll think about it and hang up. Some CMs are wonderfully kind and some are all businesslike. Don't take it personally, and you can always call again if you feel like the CM wasn't that helpful.:thumbsup2

The code definitely includes more than just standard rooms. I was able to price concierge level rooms at all of the deluxe resorts for my dates in August. Most likely it is just not available for your dates. When my first choice of dates was not available for the room I wanted the CM told me to keep calling back.

[merlot3202]

For those of you have have not gotten a code it may still be on the way. :cheer2: I just got my post card in the mail today. Not for my week though---oh well. I also recieved the 20% off one as well---same weeks. Stay hopeful!!!!:dance3:

[tmonferdini]

Is there a special number to call to see if you have a code associated with your name?

[merlot3202]

You can call them directly (reservations). Just tell them some friends had gotten the 40% off code & is there one next to your name. I believe I received it becuase i just ordered the dvd, map & signed up for e-mails. Mousesavers says to sign up for everything possible through disney. Hope that helps!!!:cheer2: :dance3: :banana:

[spoonfulofsugr]

Just booked AS Sports 3/31-4/8 with park hopper and deluxe dining for 2243.50 we are saving about 700 dollars! woohoo! aren't last minute trip the BEST?!?!?!

[nikandboys]

I only got a 30%,but my Question is...We were planning on going 9/26-10/03, but the code is only good till 9/27. Will they apply the code all the through like they did with free dining or do I have to change my dates??????

[goofieslonglostsis]

Tmonferdini; it's the normall CRO number.

Nikandboys; no, they wont. Since 1-1-2008, they'll apply the rate for that specific night, apposed to letting you use the rate of check in date the whole trip through. Last year you could start a week trip on the last day of value season and pay value rate for the whole week. Now you'ld be paying one night for value rate and 6 nights for normall rate. So now you'ld be mostly paying rack rate, unless you decide to make the trip ealier.

I actually didn't get the code, but an unbelievable CM decided it was time to give me major pixiedust. The result; a long weekend at AKL standard view in december (value season) for only $135,- and tax a night.

[aliwas]

My e-mail was good for value resorts, is this something they enforce or would I still get 40% on mods or deluxes?

[goofieslonglostsis]

I've read from multiple people getting either mail or postcard stating a certain type of resort, that were able to get the discount for another type of resort. Some mentioned there being some fine print about 'ask about other resorts'. You could allways call and ask. No harm done there.

[aliwas]

Thanks for the super quick response:thumbsup2

[torinsmom]

I got a postcard today but it is only for 20% off and my dates(8/3-8/10) are not even available. I get 20% off with AAA anyway, so it wasn't a great deal even if the dates worked. My postcard said that my vacation planning DVD was on the way, so maybe the card came because I ordered that?

If you've gotten a 40% off postcard, can you tell me if it's good for 8/3-8/10? If not, I am not going to keep hoping to get one. With AAA, I got $65 a night for Pop anyway, so I may have to be happy with that.

Marsha

[jamounger]

The 40% off dates in August are Aug10-Sept27.

[Bronte]

I called about a week ago and no code for me ......... :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

I called today while going to pick up my DD from school and the great CM that I got said that there is no real way of telling unless we put in a resevation ... so I said sure why not ... CBR Oct 21-28 ...

$111 per night (tax and fees included) :banana: :banana: :banana:

I could have got the AKL but we really like CBR ...
That weekend is our DD's fall break and the 24th is DH's birthday so I am on :cloud9:

(does anyone know when Jersery week is this year?)

[tnmomof4]

The CM I talked to said that as long as you start your stay on a day that the code is good for that they will let you use the code for your whole stay.

[jessrose18]

I just called the disney reservation line gave her my name, and asked if I qualified and she said yes!!! Disney has my name in the computer and my email from last year when I signed up. For the dates I wanted in September POP was already gone had to settle for Music. September 18-26, saved $298! However, if free dining is offered I will book that instead. :yay:

[disney-super-mom]

i used mine for club level at akl maybe there are no tower rooms left with that code, could be it but you can always call back...it is not just for standard rooms

You can book "standard" club level rooms using the code, but it's still a standard view room.

As far as I've heard, the code is only good for "standard" view rooms, whether club level or not. It's a big bummer for me because we wanted to book pool view rooms at AKL with the code but we couldn't.

[PrincessBelle23]

Me & DBF just booked 9 nights at ASMo in August for $1863.90!! :banana:

Of course, that's with park hopper, water park plus, and Disney Dining, but the code still saved us $333.54!

and our friends that are going with us got a reg savanna view room with the 40% off (it was my postcard they let them use)so I would call back and check befor they are all gone...hope ya find one good luck

Well poop! I booked two rooms at AKL using the 40% off code, tried to book pool view but CM said only standard view rooms could be booked with the code, so that's what I booked. I called back a couple of days later hoping another CM would let me switch to pool view, but again was told I could only book standard using the code. Maybe I should try calling back again?:confused3

Although my 40% off code was an email code, not a postcard code, so maybe there's a difference in the kind of rooms you can book?:confused3

[livie1205]

i would call and speak to a manager, maybe they do not have any of those rooms left with that code, if they dont it will just show up no rooms because they are looking for one with that code....i got a club level room for 201.00 a night, a really good deal.......

[mpmluvstigger]

Got a postcard in the mail :woohoo: Just called and booked Grand Floridian for Dec. 13-17 for $1299 but really contemplating on Poly, which the Cm quoted me $1147.50 for. I also was quoted $1080.00 for Contemporary GV. I really wanted Wilderness lodge but CM said it was booked already. Oh well I still get to choose between GF and Poly! Decisions, decisions...:confused:

We are going to be part of a Grand Gathering. When I made our reservations last week at ASMu, the CM I talked to let me use my 40% off code for both the rooms on the reservation since it was my code and I was the one making the reservation.

Now today the CM I talked to said that the first CM shouldn't have allowed that, but since she did, he wasn't going to change it. He did say that he wanted to warn me that when the other family in our Grand Gathering checks in that they may make them pay the difference. He also said there was a good chance that since we have our own reservation #s that they won't realize that we shared a code. It will just show up as their own code on their reservation. I told him I wasn't trying to be dishonest, and that the CM said they do it all the time. If they do it all the time..... then it must be allowed.

It is so frustrating when the CMs all say different things. He asked me if I got the name of the CM that let me do it, and I said I did. He said that if they give us a hard time when we check in to just say the CMs name who allowed it. I am a little bit worried. :scared1:

[livie1205]

they are not going to make them pay the rack rate...i have never ever heard of them doing that (unless ap rate or aaa rate) ...if they gave them the discount then they will honor that rate, I would not worry.i called last year and they gave me the 40% off and i did not have a postcard,i did not have a problem at all with check in,they did not even ask....have fun

[Tink415]

tnmomof4, as long as you get confirmations stating your rate I wouldn't worry about it. Just write the CM's name on the ressie your concerned with so you remember who you spoke to if it becomes an issue, which is not too likely.

I booked 2 rooms with my AP this past Oct. for this past Dec. I specifically asked if I could book 2 rooms (I had read on here that it was no longer allowed) and the CM said no problem. :confused3

I've also had a CM tell me this past OCt. that Fantasia was the ONLY preferred bld at ASMo and refuse to put that bld as my request. :confused3

[tnmomof4]

Thanks for the reassurance!!! You guys made me feel so much better. The only confirmations I have stating my rate are my 40% off e-mail and my reservation #.

[maine girl]

:yay: :yay: Received a 40% code to my address with my dad's name. They said I couldn't use it. Called back again told them I got a code at my address with someone elses name. Because it had my address, I could use it. I asked to have it applied to the 2 reservations I had and he said I couldn't use it because I had a package with tickets and dining. Because of these dis boards I knew to cancel and make a room only reservation. I asked for AKL standard, he said he only had savannah view for 175.00. I took it. He would not let me add tickets or dining. Why would they refuse money? I will call tomorrow to add tickets and dining. I told him I know the 40% only works on the room. but he still said no. I'm glad to see other people have called back and got dining and tickets added.

[tekoa]

Received my large postcard in the mail 4 days ago. Thought about it overnight and called the next day. We wanted March 30-April 6. The only deluxe resort available was Saratoga Springs. We jumped on it. No problem adding park hoppers and dining. I figure that I am saving about $450. Have now been reading lots of positive feedback on the SSR, so now I am really excited. On with my quest to stay at every Disney resort. (Of course if I did not recieve the mailing I would be saving even more!!!:rotfl2: :rotfl2: )

Okay, please forgive my ignorance. I did get an email from Disney Destinations but I don't see a 40% off code anywhere. We only have a reservation on "hold" because we have not officially decided on anything yet. Is that why? Do the emails say different things? Where does it say it on the email?
Thanks!
I too got an email from Disney Destinations but no code was there... hmmmm:confused3

[tnmomof4]

:yay: :yay: Received a 40% code to my address with my dad's name. They said I couldn't use it. Called back again told them I got a code at my address with someone elses name. Because it had my address, I could use it. I asked to have it applied to the 2 reservations I had and he said I couldn't use it because I had a package with tickets and dining. Because of these dis boards I knew to cancel and make a room only reservation. I asked for AKL standard, he said he only had savannah view for 175.00. I took it. He would not let me add tickets or dining. Why would they refuse money? I will call tomorrow to add tickets and dining. I told him I know the 40% only works on the room. but he still said no. I'm glad to see other people have called back and got dining and tickets added.


I am glad you are calling back!!! :) This happened to me too the first time, and I just called back to talk to a different CM. You can have the DDP and tickets.

[MousekaMaddi]

anyone know the difference between a standard room club/concierge........and a non standad room club concierge? We have a code 40% and Im dying to try club concierge but if Im doing it I want the best deal. thanx;)

[goofieslonglostsis]

A standard club room is smaller than a deluxe club room. That's the difference. Well that and the price. ;)

[Tnkrbelle565]

For you folks that have gotten "extra nice" CMs who have allowed you to book extra rooms for family members, etc, etc with the code...did you read the reservation fine print? It reads:

"In addition, Disney reserves the right to cancel or modify a reservation (including after a reservation has been confirmed) if the reservation includes or resulted from a mistake or error of any kind, including but not limited to a mistake in price or description of the package or package components, or where it appears that a Guest has engaged in fraudulent or misleading activity in making the reservation. If a package is cancelled by Disney, Disney shall have no responsibility beyond the refund of monies paid to Disney for the package."

To me, that reads that Disney CAN cancel your ressie or ask you to pay the difference if one of their CMs let you have a deal that maybe they shouldn't. Has this ever happened to someone? I for one think this isn't right...if their CMs allow you to book the package AND pay for it...I don't think they should be allowed to adjust the price based on a mistake their CM may have made. If I get quoted a price, I think as a consumer, I should not be charged additional funds OR (god forbid) have my ressie cancelled because I was quoted the wrong price.

Last year, I called and asked if I had a code attached to my name. I was told that I did and was given the 40% off code. I never had received an email or postcard offer. My ressie was honored at check-in and I wasn't charged any additional funds...but have others????

[Aliceacc]

It seems to me that it would be a WHOLE lot easier if the rules were printed on the postcard containing the code. I'm not trying to commit fraud; I think too much of myself and of the example I set for my kids for that.

But if I want to do something that IS within the rules, it's a different story.

[Tnkrbelle565]

Totally agree. It would be nice if Disney would come up with a set of rules that ALL CMs hold to. I don't want to commit fraud either but I also want to get the best possible deal I can on my trip...Disney gets enough of my money every year :rotfl:

[Aliceacc]

I don't want to commit fraud either but I also want to get the best possible deal I can on my trip...Disney gets enough of my money every year :rotfl:

For us it's the opposite... this is the first trip EVER for my 3 kids, and I don't forsee another anytime in the near future. That's why it's SO COOL to be able to do it in style.

If I can legally pass the pixie dust on to my sisters, that's great-- their kids have never been there either.

[Tnkrbelle565]

The last two CMs I spoke to told me that you could "gift" (you would have to book and pay for the trip) the code to someone in your immediate family (ie. like a parent to child) but if's it's extended family the answer is "no" However, a different CM might tell you something completely different. Here lies the problem :confused:

[Aliceacc]

The 2 I've spoken to said to just give my sisters my code and let them book the rooms on their own. I got their names, not that it will probably make a difference one way or the other.

We'll see how this plays out.

The e-mail I got with my 40% off code did not have this "fine print" on it. It doesn't even have anything close to this.

[tnmomof4]

I have been reading this other thread and someone had this same question about getting two rooms.

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=22771137&posted=1#post22771137

In this thread someone said that most PIN offers are allowed to book up to three rooms as long as it is at the same resort, the same dates, and the person who received the PIN is traveling. Some PIN offers may have different rules.

[Tnkrbelle565]

The e-mail I got with my 40% off code did not have this "fine print" on it. It doesn't even have anything close to this.

It's on the confirmation email and letter you receive AFTER you book. It's actually written in bold print

[tnmomof4]

I have booked. I have even paid on my reservation. I'm just a little worried so....I was just wondering if anyone else has this on their confirmation e-mail or letter. I haven't gotten my confirmation letter yet, but it isn't on my confirmation e-mail. I have actually gotten two confirmation e-mails and it isn't on either of them.

I am hoping the person who said some PIN codes allow you to book up to 3 rooms is correct.

[Aliceacc]

Does anyone else find that a little silly???

So if the info I was given by 2 CMs is incorrect, and there's no information contradicting it on the original offer, I'm somehow supposed to KNOW what the rules are? Then, after the plans are made and a deposit has been put down, the rules are explained?

Again, I'm not talking about committing fraud-- I'm big on following the rules.

I'm sincerely hoping that this confusion is about a different series of codes with different rules.

Exactly what I was saying...I think Disney should have to give you what the CMs quote you at booking. If I bought something at a store and it rang up wrong, I wouldn't except a store employee to run out saying either I have to pay more or return the item :rotfl:

If you've gotten your email confirmation...open up the link that says "click here for reservation details" or something like that. You should see your package details. If you scroll all the way down, the disclaimer I was quoting is under the category "General Conditions and Responsibility" I actually just cut and pasted it from my ressie.

I agree. It seems there is very little accountability for CM's. Most companies do honor quotes/prices, even when incorrect, but Disney appears to be against that policy.

[TnTWalter]

2 rooms...I found out later that I could have booked up to 3 rooms. Many people in the thread from last year did with no problem.

It was WONDERFUL. Those that have the code, ENJOY your trips!

I keep wondering if I should call to 'check'...LOL.

When I click on the link that says "click here for reservation details" this is the fine print in mine.

** = Breaks in the guest number sequence indicate that changes were made which resulted in guests being cancelled from the booking. Under the **GUEST(S) column, guest numbers indicate which guests have purchased the feature described on that line.

Please check this confirmation and verify that the services stated correspond to the reservations made. If there are any discrepancies, please contact our office as soon as possible so that we may update your reservation.

I just found this!! You are right!!! I was missing it because it is at the bottom of the e-mail, but in very small, light print. This paragraph that you copied is the same one in mine.

Well, we'll never know about the codes, at least not from me.

One of my sisters isn't free the same week we're going. The other just called to book her vacation-- and the CM found a code on the computer with her name on it:cool1:

[Lyra17]

What is the Disney Destinations website? Is that just Disney?

[Alphabetsoup]

Could someone PLEASE scan, take a photo or something and post it to show those of us never lucky enough to get a code mailer, what the blasted thing looks like?? *grin*

I'm frustrated cuz I live on a university campus (graduate student housing) and I think someone is stealing our mail at the best of times. If I find that they have taken a code mailer with my name on it, I cannot be held responsible for what I will do to them!!! Hmm...I wonder if Disney-mania is a workable defense in court???

Hi soupy one! Call Disney and ask if there is a code asscoiated with your name. If you got it in the mail it will be on record with your name in their data base as I was told by a cm. A lost code at home doen't disappear in their system.

Good luck!

They all look different. The 40% off one that they just sent was rather large..in fact, if I'm remembering correctly, it wouldn't have even fit in my mailbox at college. It would have been one of those things you would have had to pick up at the counter. Good thing is...the code is associated with your name. So if someone "accidentally" takes it...they wouldn't be able to use it.

[MamaK]

So do these discount codes come through your mail or email? Someone mentioned calling "Disney" to see if there's a code with your name - did you mean the reservations line? Are these codes given out to rewards members or Visa card holders or just people who've signed up for the planning dvd?

Thanks,

MamaK

All three ;)

My wife got both e-mail and snail mail for 40% off (one was deluxe the other was Value)

I got an e-mail after i order the DVD online

Good luck:thumbsup2

EDIT- we weren't Visa card holders, we just went to Disney for our honeymoon last June (My wife must have filled out something and used my e-mail adress, that was the deluxe) She also just joined something on the disney website because the snail mail came to our new address

[lgaston]

:) Just got off the phone with Wilda from Disney reservation to inquire about any code attach to my name as well as my party travelling with me. No luck this time BUT she told me that it is possible that the codes will be available in the next 2 weeks so I'm keeping my hopes high:woohoo: :woohoo: Also, I've looked in my e-mails to see if had ever receive pin codes in the past and I did!! TWICE in 2004!! And it wuz from Disney Destinations. :scared1:

We didn't get a card in the mail or an e-mail. We booked our trip for December 08 a week after we returned from our wonderful first trip at the Poly this past December. I also signed up for the planning dvd. After reading the boards about a 40% code--I called twice a day for a good week---no luck. My hubby said we should just cancel our ressie and hope for a code. It would be too expensive too close to christmas to go for a whole week at full price. I knew that financially he was making a lot of sense, but the tinkerbell in me just didn't want to hear it.

I called for another couple of days with hubby harping in my ear to "just cancel". I think it would have killed him to pay full price when he knew that others were getting 40% off. I finally got up the nerve--spoke with a CM and asked her to look to see if we had a code--expl'd that my hubby wanted me to cancel etc..--she looked--no code--accidentally got cut off as my 18 month old switched off my computer modem. I called back 5 MINUTES later spoke with another CM--said what the heck--I'll ask her to look again before I cancel---OH MY GOD--GUESS WHO HAD A 40% CODE?? Now I don't know if we just luckily had the most wonderful CM working that day OR it could be the fact that she took the time to look under all of our names. All I can say is DON'T GIVE UP--KEEP CALLING RESERVATIONS!!

POLY December 10th thru 16th at $204.00 a night Garden View:tigger:

[SuperTink]

Is there a toll-free number to call? :goodvibes

[jessrose18]

i just had the code attached to my name..was wondering how long is it good for? i think i want to add one more night to my trip.

[WishesQueen]

I want a code too!!!:sad2:

I am ordering a DVD and Calling!!!:banana:

[kjs1976]

Anyone encounter rude CMs when calling to see if PINs are attached? Just wondering if we're in the minority or majority of people...

[kalaim@charter.net]

I just called and the woman was very nice. Of coures NO, I don't have a pin attached to my name.

She said I can call back again and see if one comes up.

[Reilly]

Actually, yes, Our Cm was kind of rude when my husband called. The Cm wanted to know where we heard of such a ridiculous idea (calling to see if pin codes were attached to our name, as if) He said the only way to find out about codes was to recieve them via email or through the regular mail, unless its publicly announced through a magazine or something. The CM acted as though we were wishful thinking, which we are of course but...... a discount is a dscount right?! So yes we experienced the rudeness also, we are in the same boat...*stretching out hand* Nice to meet you, LOL!

[Reilly]

doo doot do do looking at my inbox and its says nothing....cheers to those still looking for that priceless code like myself. Come on Baby give me something good........Like 40%off. WHOO HOO.

[Luv2trav]

I just received a 40% off in the mail Saturday and I was told today by CM that a new batch went out this past weekend via email. I told her our came snail mail and she seemed surprised. She also said that this discount has been out for awhile (Which I knew). So my guess the first batch didn't fill up rooms like anticipated. We are DVC owners and are trying to sneak another trip in with this discount. It's an awesome discount.

[donac]

I got one in the mail on Sat. I didn't think anything of it as I started reading it (I must have opened it while I was watching tv) then I get to the bottom and it says use the code to by March 31st. Then I turned it over and saw SAVE 40%. I immediately called. We had a suite at the ALL Stars booked. They said that for the time we wanted it did not apply to that so we tried POP for two connecting rooms. I got it for $55 a room and saved over $300. My sons don't care as long as they each have their own bed.

I can make 1 more reservation with it and I have to decide where dh and I will spend the one night before the boys join us. I'm thinking something with a view. We shall see. We are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary.

[kid-at-heart]

Received a postcard w/40% number for deluxe resorts. Can you use the 40% code for a mod, i.e., POFQ? And if so, is the discount still 40%.

[murphnjamie]

Received a postcard w/40% number for deluxe resorts. Can you use the 40% code for a mod, i.e., POFQ? And if so, is the discount still 40%.

I called when I got the 20% off the value to see if I could apply it to a moderate and the CM said no. OK, I could live with that. I didn't want a value resort anyway.

I then got a 40% of deluxe. It came to my address but in my father's name and again was told no. That was not OK. I got sick of it.

So, I then sent an email explaining how disappointed I was in the whole situation, especially that my dad got the code at my address just because I paid for his trip on my card last time. I was mad, because it was obvious that the code was for my household as it came to my address. 5 days later I got a call from one of the leadership coordinators who changed the code to my name and booked my vacation. :cool1: :cool1: I saved close to $600 on my 6 night stay at WL.

I guess taking the extra step did pay off. :cloud9:

[WishesQueen]

Did anyone get a code that could be used in July?

I am waiting and waiting for a code and my luck you can't use it in July! Not that I wouldn't plan another trip with a discount like that!!:cool1:
