October 2009 Code Watch?

[kjbrown]

I saw September 2009 and I saw November 2009, but first three pages didn't show an October 2009 watch.

Anyone with me?

I got the go ahead from DH to plan for "Fall" 2009. He even told some friends that when we stayed at the Poly last year it was worth every penny! :faint: Of course, we'd still love a code!!!! We had one last year and are hoping for one for this year.

Join me!

I am thinking we'll go the last week of October. My DD's birthday is on Halloween, so that would be a lot of fun!

[Happy Elf]

I'm with you! We are hoping to take a "Fall Break" trip in October. I'm hoping for a code! :)

[kjbrown]

Woo Hoo! :thumbsup2

[mickimousemama]

I am on the watch for October 2009 Codes as well :)

Disney October 2009 Here We Come! :cool1: My husband and I have participated in the Tower of Terror 13K for the past two years. Next year we were thinking of surprising the boys and bringing them along. The boys have started running with us, so I think it could be a great family thing to do. The Tower of Terror run has always been the third weekend in October, so I am planning around that time. A discount offer would be great! We stayed at the Poly this summer on a Bounceback offer from last years run. We were spoiled at the Poly! I would love to be back there in October.:cheer2:

[mickey2minnie1]

I am in!! I just booked for the last week in October at the Poly GVCL. I would love a code.:worship:

[Poohs#1fan]

We are in!!! It is my DD2 and my first trip :cool1: We are so excited. Booked at the Poly Oct 23 - Nov 1. Would absolutely love a code......or a few, we have 3 rooms of people going :goodvibes

[macraven]

I booked for early October 09.
Now, just waiting for a code.......

Ooh, now you are making me want to change my dates! I would love to do a run at Disney World. I am dying to do the Princess Half, but I just can't make it work. :(

What a great age. We took my DD for her first trip when she was 2 1/2, we had a GREAT trip!!

I booked for early October 09.
Now, just waiting for a code.......

Everybody is actually booking, here I am sitting around...I need to get moving! :)

[macraven]

i always book early, even 11 months in advance.

that way i already have the room and when rates come out, i just modify my rates. all i want to do is guarantee my room and dates in advance.

i lost out on a resort room once cause i waited until the codes came out one year.

Well, I definitely wouldn't wait until codes came out! I am way too paranoid for that.

I am waffling now between the last week of October, so we could go and celebrate my DD's birthday. Or late September. Late September would be cheaper (probably) and things like MNSSHP would be less crowded. But it wouldn't be her birthday! I think she would LOVE the attention she'd get for her birthday. But I'd love to save money and have less crowds! :)

Oh decisions decisions. Who am I kidding? I know I'll go the last week of October! :thumbsup2

[erinericmom]

This will be our first family trip to Disney. We plan to go around my daughters birthday so we can have a great celebration, she will be 10 a double digit girl.:dance3:

[MsDT1323]

We just had to change our trip from 3/09 to 10/09. I would LOVE a code too please!

[Nitewarrior]

first what is a code. Then I want one also. We are planning on Oct 6, :confused3

[tkitty]

We are wanting to go 10/03/09, and should be getting serious, and booking now I guess.
If I book now, and Visa offers free dining again in the fall, can I add that to the package? I know I can add a code, if one comes out.
Does anyone know, can I use my Visa reward dollars to put a down payment on a WDW package?

[macraven]

if you book a package now, you can modify it later and use a different discount code. once you have booked a package for specific dates, you will have a room guaranteed. chances are free dining w/packages will surface again for 2009. you will have no problem at all to switch codes.
disney visa usually have codes for packages which include the free dining program. disney visa holders have the first week, or so many days to book with that code. after the visa holders date passes, the codes are released to the general public.

only so many packages are available per resort.
once the alloted number of rooms are booked for a specific code, you can't book with it unless you can get a cancellation.
that is the main reason i book a package early so i know i have the room for my trip. then i modify and use the code that saves me the most money.

you would pay the $200 deposit at the time of booking and not have to pay the rest until 45 days out from your stay.

it is easier to book a package now, pay the deposit and then modify the rate when codes come out.
if you book a room only now, you could not switch to a package later.
that would have to be a different booking and a cancellation of your room ressie.

the free dining would only come with a package.
room only ressies have no free dining involved with it.

codes should come out in the spring. if the disney visa codes are not all used up, disney usually releases other new codes for the public to book with.
i'm betting free dining will be one of the codes with the packages.

Can't wait to see the Mouse early Oct. 09! Would seriously love a sweet code too!

Thanks macraven for answering. I've been away for a little bit and just getting caught up now.

Looks like there are lots of Poly people! :thumbsup2 Maybe when we get closer, I will update the first post with everyone's screen names and dates and hotel. It's fun to see who will be there when you are!

[kjbrown]

Okay, it's official now. I chatted with DH and we are going to stay at the Poly, the last week of October for DD's 6th birthday!! :banana: :banana: :banana:

Now the horribly long wait for a code...

There is a code already available for early or late October 2009. I'm holding out :surfweb: for a "room only" around the middle of the month.

Yes, that appears to only be going to Florida or Canadian residents. I'm neither. :(

[Poohs#1fan]

Just wanted to let you guys know that I requested a DVD and got a 20% off pin in the mail. It had dates for the rest of this year, but I gave it to my TA to check anyway. For October of 09 it was valid for the 25th to the 31st. October 4-24 are blackout dates, just like the 40% off pins that are out. I've had to split my reservation up, but anything to save some money on the Poly :banana: :banana: :banana: Good luck everyone :wizard:

Do you live in Florida or Canada? Or are they actually sending out codes to the rest of us? HOPING!!!

Count me in with the October club! Just back and can hardly wait to go again!

[mickey2minnie1]

Less than a year to go, wahoo!! Now if only I would get an advaced code. I ordered the new DVD and am waiting to receive it.

I am thinking of doing the following meals now:

Chef Mickeys
Le Cellier
Nine Dragons (waiting for reviews)
Crystal Palace
Cindy's Castle
Ohannas
Kona

I cannot wait for my Tonga Toast!

It looks like we are going to be at the Poly at the same time :goodvibes We are doing lots of character meals because my DD will be 2. I can't wait this is my first trip to WDW :cool1:

About the code: you should also price a vacation on their website and then save it there. I did that under my mom and she got a 20% PIN today. Good luck :wizard:

[mantysk8coach]

We are planning on October 1 - 7, 2009. Plans are kind of vague right now, as there are a lot of variables at this point. My Disney-freak-of-a-cousin is applying for the College Program for Fall 2009, and we are planning a big family trip to go see him. First he has to get accepted, and then we need to decide where we are staying, who is all going, who is rooming with who, etc.

I can't wait to start planning, but he needs to apply and get accepted first!

Would love a code though! :)

Woohoo! We are going to the Poly, too! I'm thinking we'll do Chef Mickey's, Ohana and Kona also! Those are three of our favorites!! We were surprised and really liked Crystal Palace last time we went! :thumbsup2

[RahRah573]

What a great forum!

I'm new here and planning our next Disney vacation for October 2009. We went for ten days in September, and while I think I did pretty well price-wise....I'd like to do much better for next year!

If I understand correctly - if I book our package now, I can later have the room rate adjusted based on the discount codes we're all waiting to have released sometime in the future?

A couple of questions:

1. If you've used a room discount code and a free dining plan code is also made available, can you also do the free dining?

2. If you want the deluxe dining plan, do they discount the amount of the free dining (standard plan) for those wanting the deluxe plan?

Thanks!

You can only use one code at a time, so you would have to pick which one made sense for you.

I believe the answer to your second questions is yes, but not sure.

Is it possible they could run it for us????:worship: People are saying that it is coming out today for buy 4 nights and get 3 free for a stay Jan - June. Whyyyyyy whyyyyyyy can't they just extend it for the rest of the year??????:rolleyes1

So the dates didn't cover October. Oh well...

I got a PIN! It was only 20% off, but it was a pin! I am doing the happy dance.

So, we are going 10/25-11/2! :banana: :cheer2: :banana:

We're staying at the Poly in February and hoping to "bounce back" in October. We'll see what kind of deal they offer us.

Until then, we'll be watching and waiting!

Count me in:goodvibes . Working out the details, but planning for grandson birthday 10/03-10/10. Hoping that the deals keep coming. I'll have to get a package reserved then hope for a discount, or free fall dining.
PLEASE:worship: :mickeyjum Mickey, you know I love you!

[shamrockshake]

Seemed to be good deals this last OCt, lets hope for the same. We are hoping for oct 1 -12 2009 part value or modrate and a few days deluxe. AKL again or maybe WL. Wish we could afford Poly again. W"ONDERFUL.

[LeesyUD]

I am hoping for one too....I we want to have a nice honeymoon in October

[kjbrown]

Yay! Lots of people for October planning! Woohoo! As I mentioned earlier, I got a PIN for 20% off. Like another poster said on another thread, I had saved an itinerary and then a week later got this PIN! So, go save an itinerary on WDW's website!

Of course, the PIN only worked for the day AFTER we arrived, so I had to switch up my plans a little. I now have TWO itineraries mapped out, just in case a code comes out that is better than my 20%, so I can go back to my other dates! :rotfl: I am CRAZY!!!!!

[decker96]

Joining too, we are going Oct. 15-21 over our kids' fall break. Right now planning on staying at Yacht or Beach. :cool1:

I am really, really hoping for some kind of code. Every year we've gone, we have just missed out date wise. Except last year when the one day I didn't check the boards :rolleyes1 the codes came out so all Poly rooms were gone by the time I called.

[kjbrown]

I hate that period when I've decided to go, I've booked the trip, made the tentative itinerary, and then just have to wait...:sad2:

[kjbrown]

Just bumpin', just 'cuz. :)

OOOO OOOO OOOO Me Too..Im In for October 2009!!!!

We usually go every spring break and spend Easter in the world..since we are planning to go for my birthday we aren't going for easter in 2009:sad2: ..that means over a whole year without disneyworld..(how does one make it through?):confused3

It was so much fun to surprise my parents with that. My mom was so excited but my dad can either take or leave disney(i know ..how can i be related to him huh?:confused3 :rotfl: )Im proud to say he had an awsome time..he even admited it was much more than he had expected!!!(go me,go me!:woohoo: )

AAANNNNYYYWWHHHOOO-October 25, 2009 will be my 25 birthday and I really want to spend it at my favorite place on earth...Disney! :banana: I am planning to go for about a week with my parents and my best friend. My parents have said they would help to front a lot of the cost for my birthday present!!!!!! :yay: :yay: :yay:

wooooohhooooo i can't wait:cool1: :cool1:

[AshleyMWC]

We are planning on our Disneymoon October 14-24, so my fingers are super crossed for a WL code. I know that pins are usually blacked out these dates, but a girl can hope, right? At least maybe for a few of the days...

[tkitty]

Does anyone know if there is anything special that goes on the 1st week or so of Oct, that might keep any deals/codes from coming up?
I really need something to take the sting out of the cost of our stay. I figure if it's normally a slower week, we may luck out. At least I can hope!

I don't think so. It's usually a "lower crowd" month. You can check out mousesavers.com to see historical discounts. Usually plenty of stuff for October! :thumbsup2

[macraven]

for the last 6 years, i have gone to the motherland anywhere between sept 24 to oct 1 in starting my trip.

i stay in orlando for 15 days.

the first couple of years the first week of october have not been crowded at all.

the last 3, i have seen more crowds once the columbus day weekend starts, especially from that monday on.

i'm always out of orlando by oct 16th but have read that parks are seeing more crowds from mid oct thru the end of the month.

of course, it could be the parks i am at during that time in october, where i have encountered more crowds than normal.

i prefer the beginning of october for the smaller crowds, less rain and more of the 85 degree weather for the day and 68-71 temps at night.

[tkitty]

That first week of October is sounding pretty good to me. My Grandsons out of school then and has his birthday, so we have a good reason to go at that time. Bring on the discounts! :banana:

[kjbrown]

Yes, bring on the discounts! :)

How about a nice Christmas present from WDW to all of us? :)

[kjbrown]

Ugh, so now I am thinking about switching from the Poly to Animal Kingdom Lodge. We could have Savannah view and still save $500. My DS would LOVE AKL. However, I LOVE being on the monorail. Hmm, what to do, what to do.

[edcrbnsoul]

Add me to the waiting for good deal crowd, Oct 17 to 25.

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Have our honeymoon trip booked and planned for July but we are seriously considering going in October before reality of marriage and saving money sets in!! We have APs so it would be perfect. Also, my sister and brother in law want to take their baby on their first trip and I can't miss that! Not sure when to book though since I'll be paying for the honeymoon until who knows when!
