YOUR dates and Resort for 4/3 Deal?

[snyderla]

When is everyone going with their buy 4 get 3 deal? Where will you be? Did you decide to go because of the deal?

We are staying at POFQ 3/14 to 3/21, and we only decided to go because of the deal...and it's during my birthday! I've never been to WDW for my birthday before. I really want to stay at Poly, it's one of four resorts I've never stayed at, but instead I'm going for my birthday and then again in Dec. 2009 for Mousefest! I can live with that!!! :)

So, when are you going and where are you staying?

[parmtoo]

We will be going Jan. 10-17, staying @ Pop! We were going that week anyway, so the deal just came at the right time for us. We did add dining to our package when the deal came out. This is our first time on the dining plan.
The entire family will be there with us! DH, me, DS 13, our 2 DDs, their DH's, and our 3 grandson's, ages 2.5 yo, 10mos. & 10mos.
My DH just returned safely from Iraq, and this is our big celebration trip!;) Can't wait to get there!!!!!:banana:

[EAWildman]

My DW and DS (18 months) and I will be going between January 6-13 and we will be staying at the Grand Floridian.

I had already booked the GF for those dates with an interline discount. We wanted to be on the monorail since we were going with a baby for the first time. The only hotel that I could get the interline discount was at GF, so I took it. We really wanted Poly though.

Then the 4/3 deal came out. I called up and asked what was available on the monorail for the 4/3 deal for those dates (since I already had my flights set up). They said nothing on the monorail was available for the deal for those dates. Then I mentioned that I already had an existing reservation. The CM called it up and was able to convert it over to the 4/3 deal.

The hotel wound up being a little cheaper then my original interline discount. We got the discounted tickets which I was going to buy anyway. We got the $200 gift card which is a huge bonus. Plus, we added the dining plan which we could not add on when we used the interline discount. This is our first time on the dining plan.

So, this deal was just great for us. We have always used the interline discount since it has always saved us more money than the general public discounts. But this 4/3 deal beat the interline discount hands down.

We will be staying at All-Star Sports June 22-29. I had already booked a reservation at this resort for these dates, so I called and they were able to change it to the new deal. We saved about $400. This is my first trip to Disney, so this is a great start to the experience!

[blessedby3]

We are booked for the Poly from March7-14.:banana:
This is our first and probably last Poly trip and we are so excited. Our trip is $3317 and we get the $200 gift card:thumbsup2
I am thinking about adding the CS dining to our package

[WallE]

We are staying at POP May 26-June 2 with the 4/3 deal. (I was hoping for a free dining pin, but no such luck!! )We had already planned on going during that time, but had not made reservations until the deal was released. We were thrilled to get a discount of any kind, as it seemed that there weren't usually many released for our travel dates.

[Tink2312]

We're staying 22-29th March at CSR. :woohoo: We stayed there last Dec and loved it :love:
We booked our flights only a week before the deal was released and were really pleased that it covered our dates. :yay:

[gallam5]

We also have a trip planned for late August at POLY - BUT - with the 4/3 deal we decided to book a "quickie' in - for March 14 - 21 ... at the POR.
We booked one week + one day BASE TIX, we will add on when we get there... plus I think that the Dining Plan is the only way to go - for our family
( so we will add that on also - before we leave )

One week + One Day base ticket for family of FIVE = $1256.97 - PLUS $200 Gift card offer!
( will be more once we add on the extras - but this eleviates the hefty payment that will be due SHORTLY after Christmas! ) :thumbsup2
I just have to use self control and not switch resorts! ( I like to stay somewhere different each time we come...
BUT I 'LL TAKE THE DEAL ANY DAY! For a quick winter fix!

[colonialtinker]

We're staying at the Wilderness cabins Jan. 16 - 23. I already had a ressie for another location but when this deal came out I jumped on it. $1422, 1 magic your way base ticket ( we have AP's), plus the $200 gift card. The last time we stayed at the cabins we really didn't get to enjoy the resort, I overplanned that trip :confused3 This time we'll stop and smell the roses.:thumbsup2

I have never heard of the interline discount. :confused3
What is it? How did you get it? Is this something anyone can get?

[fla4fun]

My January trip is 11 nights, with the AP discount, and I couldn't figure out any way to split it up with this promotion and come out better than what I already have (it was close, but not better). So I left that trip alone.

However, I did book the 10 night version of the 4/3 from April 14 to the 24th, and was thrilled with getting a discount during a partially peak period. That really helped. I'll be at FW Cabins. I'd already planned on taking "a" trip during that period, but the promotion made it a Disney trip instead of some place else.

[Kurby]

we were going anyways it was just a matter of now many days.

our thing is that we are arriving on April 25th and were going to stay at dh's cousin's for a few days.

booking 3 nights at POP for the 28-30 is more expensive then booking in right from the 25th.

so even though we'll be staying at least 1 night at cousin's house it's still cheaper then booking the 3 nights alone.

something like 1395 vs 1045.

oh and yes this includes our 10 park pass plus water for our DVC portion

we're staying a total of 3 weeks :)

[chuchubipretu]

We actually got a 4/2, since we are only staying 6 nights. We are at BC from April 2 to April 8. It beat our AAA room and "Undercover Tourist" hoppers by $800!

[cdrn1]

My DH just returned safely from Iraq, and this is our big celebration trip!;) Can't wait to get there!!!!!:banana:

Be sure and thank him for us!!! And thanks to you too. Can't imagine what it must be like to be a deployed family. So glad he made it back safe and sound!

We are going to the Poly Jan 27 to Feb 3; originally booked at WL for early Jan but couldn't resist moving to the Poly when the deal came out; we are actually saving a bit of $$ by switching. :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

[H20DogsNDisney]

We didn't book yet but, We are going to ask are T/A if they will honor this deal!
We will be going June 21 to the 27th,2009

Congratulations and thank you to your DH.
I've always wanted to try the dining plan...but I guess the $200 gift card will help with that!
It looks like a lot of people got better deals on trips they already had planned. I'm feeling a little guilty about my trip, I just returned 11/02 from a trip. But it's gonna be my birthday, so i can justify it as my gift to myself:angel:

[lesos69]

April 28- May 5. Wilderness Lodge.

We go every year same time, the deal just made it sweeter!

We actually arrive on the 22nd and are possibly doing SeaWorld or US/IOA and the beach.

[tinkerbell60]

We actually got a 4/2, since we are only staying 6 nights. We are at BC from April 2 to April 8. It beat our AAA room and "Undercover Tourist" hoppers by $800!

We will see you there! We are at BC from April 2-9!

[DznyDreamz]

DH and I had been discussing taking long DD-free weekend to find out more about the DVC. When the deal came out, we jumped on it! So our long weekend turned into a 7 night stay at BC!! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: We will be there 1/26-2/2 for $2300 less the $200 gift card.

Can't wait!!

[dzneelvr]

We already had our rooms at ASMo, so the discount was a WONDERFUL surprise:woohoo: I don't think I've hooked a June discount since after 9/11...The free vouchers were an added bonus. :cutie:

[marsrunner]

Got the Contemporary Resort, Tower Room Bay Lake View Jan. 20-27 with 8 day park hoppers and quick service dining plan for me, DW, DS (14) and DD (5) for $3707.71. Not bad!
Still hoping to migrate over to the Magic Kingdom view!

[catne]

we'll be there May 23-May 30. We were going anyway, and getting hopper tickets for full stay & getting DDP just like before (3rd year in a row:thumbsup2 ) Pop Century (stayed there for Free Dining last September & loved it.)

Previous years we just had a 20% off room AAA discount, so this year is wayyyyy more better.

[tlh0726]

POP March 14-22nd DS turns 3 on the 22nd. Taking advantage of the deal and not having to pay for his tickets. Had previously booked the Fort and planned on taking the motorhome DH, DD4, DS2, and myself. Could not pass up on this deal. No cooking, cleaning, or making beds. :banana: Planning on driving mini van from PA unless I can get a sweet deal on a flight. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[only1alexa]

I booked a Family Suite at ASM for June 19-25. I was already debating going in June and thought I had decided to go in September. :confused3 I'm hoping an offer comes out for September before my full payment is due because I'd really rather go in September. :worship:

[Magic2000]

We're going for two weeks in June!!!
1st week at the Yacht Club
2nd week at the Wilderness Lodge (Courtyard view - Bunk Bed Room - can't wait to surprise my DD)

What a great deal!!!

[melvin1970]

We are staying at the Poly Lagoon View from Feb 7 thru Feb 13th. Had already planned our trip but Disney gave us the discount. Saved about $500 plus the $200 gift card. May add the DDP now before we go.

[EAWildman]

I have never heard of the interline discount. :confused3
What is it? How did you get it? Is this something anyone can get?

Well, I am not sure exactly who all is eligible for interline discounts, but I am an employee of a US airline. We are eligible for these discounts. We have to fax over copies of our company ID's and then present them in person upon check in. The discounts work like all of the other discounts Disney offers. Meaning that they often come out shortly before the dates availabe and there are a limited amount of rooms and resorts that the interline discount can be used at.

I have been told by Disney CM's that the interline discount is the same percentage discount they receive at the resorts (40%-60% off room only reservations). We used to be able to book these discounts on the regular reservations phone number. Now they have a special phone number to call that only handles these interline calls.

We wanted to stay in the Poly for this trip, but the only interline discount was at GF, so we picked it. Then the 4/3 deal came out and we were able to switch to that and stay at the GF.

So, long story short....Interline discount is a discount for airline (and probably other types) of employees.

[wlwilliams9]

We usually go to WDW for our anniversary, which is May 10th, so this vacation was in the process of being thought about, but not booked. We went to Tahiti for 2 fabulous weeks on our honeymoon :lovestruc and thought it would be fun to stay at the Poly for our anniv. Originally, our quote was for $4300 :scared1: for 2 adults, 1 child (age 2), 7 nights, 7 day base tickets, Garden view & DDP...WOW!! Then the 4/3 deal came out and our package came to $2800...WHEW!!! Much better, a savings of nearly $1500:woohoo: !! Now we are booked!! Here's hoping for some cheap airfare!:thumbsup2

[tinkbyday]

YC 1/18-25 Water View room with the deal $2708 plus the $200 gift card.

[ocalla]

Dumb question, how do you get the 4/3 quote to work online at the Disney Website? I do not see a space for the promo code, and when I try and price a deluxe resort for my dates, it seems REALLY high for what is supposed to be a discount.

I know I am doing something wrong, just don't know how to figure it out?

I just clicked on the link on the left side that said buy 4 get 3 free. Its on the home page.

[Mom2tmha]

POP from Feb 3-10. We were 'thinking' about going but when the deal came out we couldn't help ourselves!!!!!:cool1: :cheer2:

[ursula28]

January 17-24 @ Pop Century. Only booked the trip because of the deal. Got great airfare on top of that. So a very budget friendly trip. We were just there in June of 2008 and didn't think we'd go back til Thanksgiving of 2009. Thinking of upgrading to annual pass while there. So excited!!:cool1:

[tr-ray]

POP from Feb 3-10. We were 'thinking' about going but when the deal came out we couldn't help ourselves!!!!!:cool1: :cheer2:

We're staying at the Pop 2/3-2/10, also!
It's going to be me, DH, our DD (who will be just over 4 months), and my sister.

We were going through WDW withdrawals, complaining that we wouldn't be going again until DD was around 2 or 3... but when that commercial aired...

Well, the rest is history. So, we're not really SAVING any money, as we hadn't planned for this trip, but over rack rate, I think we're saving a few hundred dollars.

[Priorityonecb]

We were planning to go, but could only budget 4 nights. With the deal, we were able to go for an entire week! We'll be at POP April 11-18th. :woohoo:

[cinderkeli]

We just booked June 15 thru the 22 for the Beach Club. Now I really can't wait to go.

[JoAnnPan]

:yay: My sister & I were already booked for WL courtyard view - 1/31 to 2/8.
The deal save us $966 on our trip plus the $200GC -

[iggbees]

right now we're booked at the poly. for the five of us the quote is around $3,600. plus the 200$ gift card. i'm really trying to convince my mom that it's an amazing deal and we'll never get the chance to stay there again, rather than fort wilderness!

[Kitka]

June 13-20 at the Beach Club!

[DisneyMomx7]

We were already going in February. We were staying 5 nights at WL until the 4/3 deal came out. Now we're staying 7 nights at GF.

Our other reservation was originally July 2-16 at the GF and BC. We switched dates and now we're June 20-27 at GF CL and June 27-July 6 at BC. The second week doesn't qualify for the 4/3 deal so I'm hoping for either another deal or a really good AP rate for that week.

[DisAlicia22]

We were already booked at CBR, but we upgraded with the 4/3 deal to the Polynesian GV 1/18-1/25 with the dining plan and 7 day park hoppers. With the gift card we actually saved money from our previous reservation at CBR. :) First time ever staying at Poly and I never could have afforded it without the 4/3 deal. We're paying $2866.86-$200.00 Gift card=$2666.86 vs $2669.76 at CBR. :cool1: :cool1:

[fuji]

My dates are 6-25 to 7-2 at ASMu family, for $2824 its about $500 in savings

[jfoofj]

I booked Beach Club for 4/21-4/28. We have never stayed there before, always wanted to try it out. We had tentatively talked about going in April but the deal made us do it!

[Gina-Gina-Bo-Bina]

POR January 10th to 16th, 2009 :cheer2:

1st trip to Disney, had been booked since August. We were planning on going, discount or no discount, but were THRILLED when they 4/3 deal was released as it saved us $688 with the $200 gift card. :banana:

[minniemee]

Wilderness Lodge 3/7-3/14/09! This will be our first stay at a deluxe resort, my 2 sons are beyond excited! We love POFQ, but are looking forward to WL.
We were thinking about going to the Carribean, but when this 4/3 deal came out we couldn't pass it up!:cheer2:

[maggiew]

June 13-20 at the Beach Club!

What was your price?

Thanks,
Maggie

[maggiew]

June 13 - 20
Coronado Springs
2 adults, 2 kids (considered adults- 17 & 14)
7 day tickets
no dining
$1904.04

Maggie

[hotcarib]

Online the price I get quoted is:
26 Jan-2 Feb
POFQ Water view
7 day park hoppers
Quick dining option (this is great for us because the original DDP is just TOO much food for us)
it comes out to 1911.00 with the trip insurance
We always go in Feb. but thought we would try Jan this year.
This beats our Sept. '09 bounceback by about $500+
Oh, BTW it's just DH and me
I'm thinking this is a pretty good price
http://www.wdwinfo.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Donnainnj]

Just booked April 5th -12th (last day is Easter) at Coronado, 1 day tickets, 2 adults, 2 disney adult kids, one infant, TWO rooms, regular dining plan, $3198, no insurance. When I called and gave the dates the CRO agent said those dates were blacked out, but when I told her it came up online she went ahead and looked and it worked for her to. On the phone I was able to book both rooms on one reservation. Good luck everyone.
Donna
PS. We actually got back on the 9th from our last trip, I do love having an annual pass, but I don't know if i'm totally nuts because we will be driving this trip, and we don't even have a minivan. The baby will be the true wild card in this adventure.

[momatater]

AKL CL Jan 23-30. Rack rate, room only, $2717, AP room only, $1960, 4/3 deal, $1714 w/1 day basic tickets and we get the $200 gift card. We will use the tickets later to renew our APs. What a deal!!!!

[DjdBrit]

We are travelling May 2nd - 10th. 3 adults and 3 kids all with park hoppers and the dining plan. Staying at SSR in a 2 bed villa, $6,500, which saved us $2,2:cheer2: 00 oh yeah baby!!!

[DjdBrit]

Sorry thats.... $2,200

[DjdBrit]

I am just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited and happy I messed up:)

[JennSaint]

We were suppose to be skipping Disney this coming February and renting a condo and doing other things. When I saw this 4/3 deal we couldn't pass it up. We booked 7 nights February 14-21 at Caribbean Beach resort and we decided to get 10 day tickets with water parks and no expiration (we plan to use only 4 or 5 park days this trip). The total cost was $2534.90
It just seemed to make sense to upgrade our tickets so we can get another trip or 2 out of them. We probably have water park days for many trips to come since we'll have 10 to use.
I'm just so excited to be going back to my favorite vacation place!1:yay:

[disneydreamin247]

We were booked at Pop 5/5-5/12 with no DDP and a AAA rate in a preferred room. When the deal came out I said it was no good for us as we are AP holders. Then I worked some numbers and by that night switched to Pop 5/5-5/13 in a Preferred room DxDDP. Then I decided we should just do CBR as I have been dying to stay there.

Final decision:
5/5-5/13
CBR water view
DxDDP
1 day base ticket
1 adult 1 5yr old child
$1990.08

Savings of $680.58. :cool1:

[LivingtheWDWdream]

We did not have a trip planned per se I was hoping to do 1 or 2 nights onsite over my birthday (we live locally) but the costs for the hotels we haven't stayed at were a lot more then I wanted to spend for just 1 or 2 nights. And to go from our home to a value resort was not a value for us since we would spend most of our time at the resort (we park hop from home a lot) so we wanted a deluxe resort.

Well the 4/3 deal came out and we booked for a week around my birthday. So a trip was born.

May 12- May 19th
7 nights at the GF garden view
1 day passes which we will use towards renewing our AP's
No dining plan
2182.50

[Babyboo]

Just changed from CR Atrium Club MK View at $5,200 room only (AAA rate) to BWI Garden Suite with 7 Day Hoppers and Dining for $4,972.

I didn't think our dates were eligable (11 - 18 April) so didn't look earlier. We really wanted a monorail resort but none available.

These prices are for 2 ad and 1 child

[mommytothreeboys]

Called yesterday and booked POR with the 4/3 deal for April 19-27! :goodvibes

[snyderla]

Anyone else booking?

[dls881]

I had already book a week in Feb so called today to get the deal

Jan 31 - Feb 8 at POP $1125
I have $800 visa disney dollars to spend and we'll be there for my b'day. I love a deal!

[disneybridetobe]

When is everyone going with their buy 4 get 3 deal? Where will you be? Did you decide to go because of the deal?

We are staying at POFQ 3/14 to 3/21, and we only decided to go because of the deal...and it's during my birthday! I've never been to WDW for my birthday before. I really want to stay at Poly, it's one of four resorts I've never stayed at, but instead I'm going for my birthday and then again in Dec. 2009 for Mousefest! I can live with that!!! :)

So, when are you going and where are you staying?

We're doing something VERY different for us and going in April! We're a September family, we *were* thinking about December, but I just couldn't pass this up :)

[CleveRocks]

We had a pre-existing reservation for a split-stay, 2 room-only reservations plus tickets; early February, with the last night jumping in price because it's the first day of Peak season. 4 nights at Coronado Springs water-view, 3 nights at Contemporary tower-theme park view, $672 + $1,404 = $2,076, plus $1,122 for 8-day park hoppers for 2 adults and 2 kids, makes a total of $3,198. I did the split stay because we wouldn't be able to comfortably afford all 7 nights in a MK-view room ... my wife loves Wishes, and the opportunity to give her a view of Wishes from her room for her birthday was just too cool for words.

Then the 4/3 deal came out ...

No room at Contemporary, at all, but I was able to get all 7 nights at Polynesian in a theme park view room. ALong with the 8-day hoppers, the package costs $3,448, but has a net cost of $3,248 due to the $200 gift card.

So all 7 nights on the monorail in a MK-view room is costing me $50 more than 4 nights in a Moderate and only 3 nights in a MK-view room.

And since I was going to take a taxi between CSR and CR round-trip early in the morning of our switch day (so I could check-in early, while the family is still asleep and therefore not have to take any time out of the fun day ahead), it's about an exactly break-even point.

Gotta love it. We had a trip planned anyway. But for no extra cost, we got all 7 days with a MK-view at a monorail resort, versus just 3 days of that.

I also priced out our $3,248 package at rack rate ... $5,491. We're saving $2,243 with the 4/3 deal!

[BabyRN]

We're going 4/11-4/18 at POR. I used the deal as an excuse for my husband :rotfl: We were supposed to go to the Outer Banks with his sister and her family. I wanted to go further south for the warmth! I'll be on maternity leave, so getting the week was easy for me!

[Luvs2Travel]

We were going from Jan 11th - 21st for $2367.52 10 nights staying at POP with 9 day park hoppers and the dining plan.
Then the 4/3 deal came out and we changed it to two reservations staying Jan 11th -25th for 14 nights at POP with 10 day hoppers an 1 day base tickets with the first week dining, and the two $200.00 gift cards for the 2nd week of dining for $2057.80.
We get to stay 4 more nights, and saved $309.72 plus get $400.00 in gift cards over our first reservation. That was a no brainer!

[Coconuts]

For 2 adults, 2 kids, 1 infant, 7 nights,Jan 28-Feb 4, 4 for 3 deal at CR GV, basic tickets, DDP, and airfare for $3800. :woohoo: Plus we get the $200 gift card and I am there for my birthday, so I get the cost of park admission for one day to spend!:goodvibes

[Coconuts]

For 2 adults, 2 kids, 1 infant, 7 nights,Jan 28-Feb 4, 4 for 3 deal at CR GV, basic tickets, DDP, and airfare for $3800. :woohoo: Plus we get the $200 gift card and I am there for my birthday, so I get the cost of park admission for one day to spend!:goodvibes

OK, now I am bummed.:guilty: As I was getting ready to book this this morning, DH gave the thumbs down to the trip after he reviewed finances!:scared1: I am just beside myself and want to cry.:sad:

[MO Nurse]

Sorry to hear your trip is a no go. Maybe things will change and you will still get to go.

We are a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 disney adults) staying 10 nights at POR March 3-13 for $3021.75 and that is with water park and more tickets no hopping. Some things have come up and my DH may not be going so that will be less. I thought about going to just 7 nights but I can't resist 3 more days for that price.

We originally had our trip booked at $3981 so this saved us over $900 plus we get the $200 GC. I am planning to add the dining plan before we go as well. What we saved covers our airfare so we are ready to go!

IS IT MARCH YET!:thumbsup2

[PeachesDoesHair]

We were going to go next December because our souviner from our last June trip will be arriving in February. But, we just couldn't pass up this deal.

We'll be there June 7-14, CR MK view! A year later with an extra member in our family...lol...the magic of Disney.

[Camno's Mama]

We will be going Jan. 10-17, staying @ Pop! We were going that week anyway, so the deal just came at the right time for us. We did add dining to our package when the deal came out. This is our first time on the dining plan.
The entire family will be there with us! DH, me, DS 13, our 2 DDs, their DH's, and our 3 grandson's, ages 2.5 yo, 10mos. & 10mos.
My DH just returned safely from Iraq, and this is our big celebration trip!;) Can't wait to get there!!!!!:banana:

We are also going Jan 10-17 at Pop!

We were planning on going at that time anyway because of the Marathon and we wanted to take advantage of the slow crowds and value season prices.

But before the deal we were only planning to stay onsite for the night before the marathon. After that, we were going to rent a condo. The deal enabled us to stay onsite for the whole trip. We also were only going to spend four days at the parks...this enabled us to spend seven!

[blanq]

Well, I was "thinking" about going and decided that we would only make a trip if there was a good discount. I waited until the 4/3 came out and booked. We are staying at CSR for 9 nights, 1/24 through 2/2. The $200 gift card is such a bonus, plus my husband will turn 46 during our trip so we get the $75 birthday card to spend, and I think I'll have about $250 in Disney VISA rewards we can use. That all makes me happy, happy! :banana:

[itchin2go]

Cancelled trip for first week of December in favor of this new deal in January. January 25-31 at AKL - two Savannah view rooms. Saved us $2K or so, plus we're getting two $200 gift cards. Can't believe it and can't wait! I'm thinking of adding the dining plan with the $$ we saved.

[Tink2312]

Ok, so I posted on here a week or so ago that we'd booked the 4/3 deal for CSR for 22-29 March - well it seems we got a bit deal happy and we've now booked to stay at CBR 29/03-05/04!! We'll have to see what happens and if there's better deals out there offsite (dare I say it) for the second week, but for now I'm on :cloud9:

[ginaluvsdisney]

We are going Jan 10-17 and staying at POP. We were already going so you can imagine how excited we were :banana: to get this deal! Wish us luck, it is our first trip with 2 children!:scared1:

[dansamy]

We were booked for Mardi Gras, but I had already changed my mind and decided to go for SWW in June. Yeah, I know it's June. I must be crazy. But it's STAR WARS! And DH, DS9 and DS7 love, love, LOVE Star Wars. Then, before I called my AAA agent to change, the 4/3 offer came out. We are paying $240 more than our original trip, but we upgraded from POR to GF. And I think June is peak season isn't it? Total price $4005 for 7 nights at GF with DDP and 7day base tix for 2A3C.

[megveg]

We booked for May 5/21-5/26 and even tho its not the 7 days we still get days free so its all good. its our first day at the Poly <3

[aubriee]

Right now I'm booked at POP for May 9th-17th, but am hoping an AP discount comes out that beats the 4/3 deal. I usually go every May, Sept, and Dec with an occasional Jan and Oct trip thrown in. This year we did the free dining in Sept, but decided to do a cruise in Jan, (instead of the usual Dec WDW trip) and was undecided about going back in May for the Flower Festival. When the 4/3 deal came out, I decided to take it as a sign that I was meant to go.:)

[kgle]

We will be staying at the POP from May 11th-18th! I only saved about $300 with the b4g3 deal, but that's still $300! I wasn't even planning on staying in Disney until this deal came out!

[M Roberts]

We're going Feb 17 - 24 FW Cabins, 2 adults, 4 kids, saved about $1000. Can't wait:cool1:

[mickeystoontown]

We are staying at POP May 26-June 2 with the 4/3 deal. (I was hoping for a free dining pin, but no such luck!! )We had already planned on going during that time, but had not made reservations until the deal was released. We were thrilled to get a discount of any kind, as it seemed that there weren't usually many released for our travel dates.

we'll be there May 23-May 30. We were going anyway, and getting hopper tickets for full stay & getting DDP just like before (3rd year in a row:thumbsup2 ) Pop Century (stayed there for Free Dining last September & loved it.)

Previous years we just had a 20% off room AAA discount, so this year is wayyyyy more better.

Hey you two! Looks like some of our dates will be at the same time.

I booked May 28th through June 6th. Three adults, standard room at Pop, 9 days of tickets with water parks & more and the dining plan for just $2,700.00!

[lucky978]

We were booked for POFQ for 4/22-4/28 (6 nights). When the 4/3 deal came out we jumped on it. I only saved around $100 (4 adults with dining plan) but my cousin who is travelling with us saved almost $300. But now we are booked for 7 nights, have an extra day on our park tickets and extra dining plan points, so I'm happy!

What is the $200 gift card you are all mentioning? I didn't hear anything about that.

Can't wait!!!

[BigRedGoat]

-January 13-18 @ POP with 3 friends.
-6 day park hoppers
-$200 gift card
-Cheap flights on Jetblue
-Best vacation ever?! About to see!

I was planning a trip for January anyway, and the day before I called to book, they announced the discounts. Saved me and my friends a bunch of money. It's just a shame that due to all me and my fiends varied work schedules we can only do 6 days instead of 7.

4 people, 6 days of vacation, including airfare for $2,400! A full vacation for $600 per person, amazing!

[katieam1]

3 DS's First trip :cool2: :stitch: :mickeyjum and we're going deluxe:cloud9:

2 Adults, 1 Jr, 2 Kids
May 3 - 9
DH refuses to fly so we're driving:scared1:

Originally booked
POR thru AAA:cool1:
5 Day Base Tickets
DDP
$2,970

Now Booked :lovestruc
YC
7 day Base Tickets
DDP
$3649

Thru AAA without 4/3 discount YC was $4,480 with 5 day tickets so even though I'm spending almost $700 more I saved $800:laughing: .

I thought about staying with POR with price reduced to $2,714 or booking Poly but ended up booking YC because it had Queen beds which is better for us, was $200 less than Poly and others said YC pool was way better for 3 DS. Really wanted BC over YC because of refurb but it was all booked :sad1:

Also thinking about upgrading to Park Hopper tickets because we'll be so close to Epcot - Spread the world Showcase across all our days...

[Alphabetsoup]

March 4-11 at All Star Movies (going down for the Princess 1/2 Marathon, so staying someplace that has the special buses for runners/walkers).

Hopefully taking a first-timer...otherwise will be doing my first ever solo trip...which feels kinda weird.

Doing Dining Plan, park hopping and water parks as well.

[ppan77]

Had already reserved a week at the Poly for Jan 24-31. Saved almost $1200! plus get the $200 gift card on arrival.:cool1:

[Alphabetsoup]

We will be at POP for March 6-13
Preferred room
7-day Park Hoppers
$200 Gift Card

Now we are just waiting to see if they offer free dining with this deal like some people are saying that they will....That would make our trip spectacular!

Okay...I'm confused. I thought that you could only use one discount at a time. If you have already used the 7/3 deal...how could you take advantage of free dining if it came out?

[shocky5]

We will be at the Poly May 28 - June 4. We already had our reservation / package booked before the 4/3 deal was presented but we were able to apply the discount when it came out which saved us $1500! :thumbsup2

[cruisegirl29]

Booked the Pop Century Feb 27-March 8. 10 days total. Purchased 4/3 deal then 2 extra days............

Can't wait!
