Looking for a March '10 code watch.

[YesMickey]

I have seen just about every other month, but not March of '10. If it is out there someone please point me in the right direction as that is when we are planning to go. I'm not on the site or savvy enough to start it.:cool1:

[McKiggan]

I'm in for the March 2010 watch too. From past experience the deals for Mach usually get released in the fall.

[JanetMom]

I'm hoping for March too!

We already have our room booked, but I would love to get it cheaper than rack rate.

[McKelly]

I am waiting for March too! I am hoping the 4/3 comes out again. Would love that!

[Disneylvr]

I am a March 2010 code watcher as well. We loved the 4/3 deal this year.

[marcielm]

I'm hoping for a great deal for next March. I'm planning on going again, and this time we have friends joining us! Plus, I know several others that are hoping to go during spring break, and are waiting to see what the deals are going to be.

[Eeyores#1Fan]

I am a March 2010 code watcher as well. We loved the 4/3 deal this year.

Same here. We took advantage of the 4/3 deal this past Mar and would love to do it again. (hint hint Disney..lol)

[VillianinVogue]

I'm in as well!!!:thumbsup2

[Crazy4Disney06]

I'm in too. We just canceled our free dining trip for October.......thinking of going in March instead if we got a good enough deal otherwise we may take more of a budget trip and drive to Disneyland instead.

[gooshygirl]

I'm new here! But, we are planning for March 2010 also. Thanks for starting this.

[AprilJ26]

We're thinking about going back in March, also! I would love to do Thanksgiving week, but am not sure about the weather... we LOVED the weather last March!
Does anyone know if they usually run specials in March or was this past year just an exception b/c of the economy. I know it is peak season. I'm a teacher so we have to go during the third week of March, which is spring break so I'm afraid we won't luck up on another deal!

[MississippiMom]

I am determined that we will vacation somewhere for Spring Break 2010 (early March for us). I think Disney World might be just the ticket, but I can't afford it without some special promotion. Otherwise, I'm on a Carnival or NCL ship.

[lustergirl]

sign me up. I am planning on staying at CBR early march and would love a great deal. I beleive the 4/3 deal for that time frame came out this past fall.

Carnival does have some great deal...

[cusack1020]

I'm adding myself to the list. I am going to be running the Princess Half Marathon. Currently planning on staying at Shades of Green but if I can get a great deal on a moderate I might switch!:goodvibes

[Bambi222]

I am adding myself to the list as well. I also have been waiting to see the new rates for 2010, I have heard they either come out in July or August.

I still need to book our room-only soon and then re-book if a good deal comes out. I just need to go over the dates one more time with DH before I do so.

March 6-13 is what we had discussed and planning on staying at POFQ.

[2gr8DisneyKids]

Count me in as well!

We did the 4/3 deal last Feb. and are looking to do WDW/Vero Beach (renting DVC points) this March as DH does not want to do another long WDW vacation, but a good deal might change his mind... not that I am complaining about time at Vero Beach or anything. ;)

I actually booked CBR at a discount through AAA last year for a long weekend and was able to convert it to the 4/3 deal and made a week of it! :dance3:

[vassar36]

Please please please...let there be a deal for March 2010, its the only way we'll be able to go back this year :flower3:

[minniemee]

I am thinking of a March stay this year as well! Just got a pin for now through December and there is no way we can use it.
The 4/3 deal is what we used last year at the WL and loved it! Although I missed POFQ and if we go in March I think I'll want to stay there!
Come on Disney, give us spring breakers some awesome discounts!!!pixiedust:

[M&M mom]

I am also looking for a great deal for March 2010. :surfweb:The past 2 years we were able to get a code which was really nice.:cool1: They were released in the fall. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[Jackie H.]

I'm looking for March as well! :thumbsup2

Hoping for another 7 for 4 deal like they had last Spring! :banana:

I got a pin for through Dec. as well and no way to use it either. We did the 4/3 last year too... I am hoping for a really good one the might allow us to upgrade hotels to POLY. Guess we will have to wait and see... princess:

[MississippiMom]

Yes, I know that it is just wishful thinking, but if they were to repeat the 7 for 4 deal, what time in Spring would it be? I would love to be able to get to Disney the second week of March, but I'm not sure we can swing the expenses. Without any kind of "deal," we will probably be looking at Fall Break '10 (mid-October).

[TheRoyalPaynes]

DH and I are hoping for a great deal for March of '10 so we can sneak off for a little trip of our own next year! Here's hoping!

[Sea-Donkey]

Do the offers always come out first of August or later?

Is there a 2010 spring break poll thread yet? (that shows which week everyone has off)

[rcepek]

Anyone ever gone in May?

[mi*vida*loca]

Hoping for a code too! We are going 2/27-3/6. We did the 4/3 deal this year and it was awesome!

[GrumpyFamilyof5]

subscribing!

[dlrogue]

Add me in as well. We were kind of planning to go over New Year's, but then I was hit over the head with a dose of common sense. We will now go March 21-29 and get to celebrate our oldest daughter's 11th birthday.

[marie1981]

I am adding myself to the list. I already booked the room at full price, but I am hoping for a nice promotion !

[2gr8DisneyKids]

The 2010 prices come out in August, but the 4/3 deal came out later last year. I booked our Disney trip for Feb. in October and the deal came out in November. I booked through AAA and was able to add the the free nights and passes without switching to rack rate.

Hoping for a good deal this year too! :goodvibes

[YesMickey]

Just wanted to update this post to get it toward the front. Anyone now what type of historical discounts have come up for March?:thumbsup2

[soontobewed07]

Were looking for a good deal too. Trying to keep our once a year tradition alive. With this economy I am looking for a good deal or we won't be going this year.

[opus_00]

I'm also looking for a March 2010 deal. It worries me, though, that our week in March (13-19) is is included in PEAK season. They don't usually have promotions or codes for peak season, do they? Looking at the Mousesavers historical discount chart, it appears that this past March was the first time since 2006 that they offered special discounts other than Florida resident and AP holder discounts. Perhaps such an offer will happen again if the economy doesn't improve.

[GrumpyFamilyof5]

well our school released the calendar for the year, our spring break will be Mar. 29- Apr. 2...arghhh...it makes it harder to use a code unless I'm lucky enough to get one that runs into Apr. ??
Might have to start our vacation on Sat. thru Weds. !! ;)
Regardless I need my Disney fix..the thing with my Dad fell thorugh, he actually doesn't want to go to Disney:scared1:....so just planning on us!!

[TJ's Mom]

I am hoping for a code too. I think it is the only way we can swing it. Fingers crossed!

[Mulan82]

I need a code for March 2010!

Taking my little girl there for her first birthday!! Also, a nice excuse for me really. i mean, if you want me to be completely honest. :rotfl:

[kymmyk13]

booked for MArch 19-27 at Pop, would really love a 4/3 deal or 40% pin would work

[McKiggan]

Subscribing.

We have gone for spring break (second week of March where I am from) for the last 4 years. We have always had to pay peak season rates.

Last year we used the 4/3 deal but before that we have used the CAA/AAA discounts.

Our spring break has always been the first full week in April, but this year it is the middle of March and they are also having a 4 day weekend for Easter this year. I don't remember it being so expensive in April. We have gone before during Mardi Gras holiday and that was the best ever. We litterally could stay on rides after they were over and ride again. Would be great if free dining or something that saves as much would come out for our dates. If not we will be going value for the first time.:cool1:

[LuvindisCruiser]

:goodvibes Adding myself to the list ! :goodvibes
We will be there March 10-18 ! :)
We staying at ASMu, unless we get some kind of promo, that
could maybe get us to CBR ! :thumbsup2
Let's all hope some pixie dust comes our way ! :wizard:

[alnina]

We are going March 13th-20th. Also hoping for a break :thumbsup2 but like others have said it is peak season and I guess if they don't do a deal maybe it will be less crowed. But I will have to say a deal would be worth it. :woohoo:

[LuvindisCruiser]

Well, maybe if there aren't any deals, we may not have the bigger
crowds ? :confused3
I don't know which would be better.
Less crowds, better deal ?
Oh well, either way, I'M GOING TO DISNEY !!! :banana:

Yes, I saw that. There were significantly more discounts available this year, than in '08. They just came out real late this year.It states:
"Stay Dates 01/01/2008-03/15/2008-package deal, (discount+free ticket upgrades) for Disney Reward Visa Cardholders- became available 10/29/2007, general public- became available 11/01/2007."

2009 discounts were more numerous:
Had room only discount, package discount, 7/4 deal, 25%off platinum package. These discounts came out very late in December. This was about the time people were starting to feel the crunch and all of the lay-offs began. The discounts were supposed to only be available for about a month, but I guess Disney did not get as good of response as they had hoped, and basically ran them again through most of the stay dates also. I say book your stay so you can make dining reservations and when the discounts come out, change if it is a better deal. Anything better than AAA discount to me is a deal for peak season. How cool if they do free dining. That seems to be their easiest promo. That would save my family over $520 on our trip.:thumbsup2

[msminnieears]

We're going in March too!:woohoo: (14th -20th) POR unless 7/4 deal becomes available. The dining package would be nice too, it would save us about $800.:cheer2:


Me::MinnieMo DH :cool2: DS (9)pirate: DD (5)princess:

[DonaldDC]

Anyone ever gone in May?

We've been in May before and loved it! Really warm weather but not quite the humidity you find in the summer months. Crowds were pretty reasonable. If DW wasn't a teacher we'd probably go during May again.

[Jackie H.]

OK....I'm really, really ready!

I keep getting codes and specials for WDW up through November so far... Please, please please give me a March deal!

[goodmorningirl]

Also hoping for a deal in March. DBF said we can go for my birthday/valentines/anniversary :lovestruc but I need a good deal. Cross our fingers!

[DisneyFans-Poage]

We are also going during our Spring Break, and have made the reservations. Now we are just watching for any deals. We want to join this thread also...

[donutday]

Our DD just announced her choir will be performing the first weekend in March, so we'll be watching with you all!

[jillhou]

We are thinking about a trip in March - this is the longest we have gone in a long time without making a trip.

We might have some friends going - but would need a decent deal before we decide to go. Would be our first trip without our oldest son. Kinda weird!

[n2mm]

Guess I'll be watching too. Last year I got a pin code for this timeframe and hoping for another one. We are booked March 7-12, but plan to go a day or 2 earlier if I get a good rate.

[n2mm]

Are you going for the UCA all-star cheer competition? We will be there!:cheer2:

No, just looking for a different time of year to go. We decided not to go in June/July/August that year, so trying on some new dates. Trying to avoid Easter. Staying at the BCV.

[andee515]

We were not planning on goingthis year, but I found a conferance in middle of march at disney, so I'm breathlessly awaiting a deal of some sort so we can get this from insanely expensive down to doable

Anyone know what was available last year in mid march?

And does anyone know why travel companies; I've tried AAA and expedia, do not have any room available? Disney does, I called already. I thought march is probably one of the busier times of the year and they didn't allow outside selling or something of that nature, weird; any thoughts?

Thanks

[Anal Annie]

We've never gone over spring break time b4 so I'm in sticker shock over the airfares. DS's break starts the last weekend in March (the week BEFORE Easter) so I have booked us AKV Kidani with our DVC points for Sat 3/27 - Fri 4/2. But just last night I found a good airfare home to BWI on Thurs. so I booked it & will just cancel off the Thurs night from our ressie. But the airfares going DOWN on that weekend are crazy high for non-stops so I was debating about going down on Fri. night bcuz the air is a lot less than on the weekend & just try to book someplace with an AP rate for Fri. rather than use points (which are high for the weekend).

OK, so my question here is are there normally AP rates that come out for this time? Just trying to decide what day to book for our airfare going down...it might work out just as well to go on Fri. night if I can find an AP rate.:confused3

Usually the AP rates for the week before and the week after Easter are generally blacked out. We really don't know what Disney might do this year. If things remain slow and there are rooms to fill, they may offer something. I generally stay away from holidays. I think mousesavers has some history fares and dates to compare it too. Good luck!

[Mulan82]

anyone know the weather this time of year? would we be able to do TL or BB without feeling like we are in a meat locker?

[Anal Annie]

Avg High in March is 78 & Avg Low is 55 so it may or may not be waterpark weather...it would probably be a bit chilly for me to spend a whole day at one of those... I would be happy for it to be warm enough to spend some time at the resort pool!!

[Tri-Delta4Life]

I'm hoping for a March '10 code/promo too! I'm taking my mom and sister on a surprise trip over their spring breaks (mom's a teacher and sister is in high school). My husband and I went last year on the 7/4 deal and I'm really hoping for something similar this year. I was so excited in mid-August when there was that rumor a 'more complicated' 7/4 deal was going to be released... here's hoping... better late than never!

[Melissa<3Disney]

Just subscribed to this thread as well!! We are going March 26-April 3! There are 5 adults and 2 children! I am so confused about the whole code thing, but i'm getting schooled on it through these threads! We have never stayed at a Disney resort and would LOVE LOVE LOVE to!!! I don't mind staying offsite, but it would be a dream come true for me to stay onsite, but without a discount or some kind of deal it just can't happen!! I'll be watching though!!

[westjones]

You will have better luck at the end of March than the beginning, but mornings and evenings will probably be chilly for swimming (but great for the parks).

[Disneylvr]

This year, March 14-21st, we had perfect weather! Every day was sunny, low humidity, and temps ranging from 75-80. We are hoping for more of the same next March but will of course bring jackets just in case.

[tscrapper]

Also waiting for March 26- April 3. Hope it is warm enough to do blizzard beach...

[mmmears]

Add me to the list of posters waiting for a code for late March. AP discount, 4/3, or some other discount so we can stay there again!!!:goodvibes

[Melissa<3Disney]

Also waiting for March 26- April 3. Hope it is warm enough to do blizzard beach...

We took my brother to Blizzard Beach on April 2nd of this year! It was great!! The water was kind of cold at first...cause it's not blazing hot outside at this time of year...but we had so much fun!! You get used the cold water!! Plus in my experiences water parks tend to be less crowded on days when it isn't a million degrees out!! :laughing:

[msminnieears]

The weather is perfect this time of year!:love: The pools and water parks have heated water so it is pleasant. We always visit the pool in the afternoon when we go in March and we're going back March 14-19. :cool1: We continue to go this time of year because it's not so hot. In the morning sometime you may need a jacket but by mid morning shorts and short sleeves are perfect!

I just booked using the Buy 4 get 3 Free deal! (It's not online yet, you have to call and ask specifically for it.) March 21 - 27 at POFQ with Deluxe Dining for my mom, sister and me :goodvibes We're only staying 6 nights, so we got 2 room nights and 2 days of park tickets free. I'll be happy to answer any questions!

[Jackie H.]

How much did it cost?

[Bambi222]

Just had the 4/3 applied to my existing Ressie. Going March 7-14- to CSR
7 nights, 8 day park tickets, no hoppers, waterparks or insurance.

2 adults, 2 kids 4 & 7

Total 1824.80

Was $2552

[LuvindisCruiser]

:cool1: I booked my 4/3 deal today, too ! :cool1:
We are now staying at CBR !!!!
I heard it's a Disney Visa promo, but my Disney visa did not
tell me about this deal.
I found it on the Dis boards, of course !!! :thumbsup2

[mamilovesdisney]

For the 4/3 deal, does travel have to be completed by the end of March? I would be traveling March 28th to April 4th.

[JanetMom]

I just booked 4/3 at the Contemporary Club Level for March 13-20. I tried for WL, but the CL room wasn't available.

Very exciting!

[zimaaaaah]

Adding to the watch- I need a couple nights before the Wonder (kids sail free you know!) and three when we get back, so the 4/3 doesn't help us unfortunately. But I will keep on hoping!:goodvibes

[discorsner]

Hi March go-ers! I was originally planning on January but we switched to March! (tax refund :thumbsup2 )

Anyway, I am an AP but I booked my dates March 13-20 at POR on the 4/3 deal so that I would have them but I am really waiting for a code to switch to!

I really do not want to have purchased the extra 7 day pass! In fact I bought the AP so that I wouldnt have to this time around :headache:

Here's hoping we get a good rate! Also looking for good price on airfare! The rates are ridiculous. I have never gone in March. What can you tell me about it?

[poohfriend9]

I was really hoping for "room only" some kind of deal March 26th-28th for our anniversary, but so far no luck.

I've seen some say on here that they got something through Disney Visa, but I don't see any codes or offers at their site and we have a Disney Visa.

[DonaldDC]

Just booked our trip for March 14-19, unfortunately the 4/7 deal doesn't help us much this trip but we're going!:banana:

[disneyfanatic101]

Count us in for late March as well:woohoo:

[Disfan3]

March 13-20 here. We are at the Polynesian. :cool1:

[Sea-Donkey]

Just added 4/3 discount to our 7 night package in March with dining at a pirate room at Caribbean Beach. Dropped the price by $803.

[Leleluvsdis]

We've been in May before and loved it! Really warm weather but not quite the humidity you find in the summer months. Crowds were pretty reasonable. If DW wasn't a teacher we'd probably go during May again.

We went this past may and it was very nice. It was VERY HOT but not the humid hot like in the summer. We were there 8 days and it only rained a 1 afternoon.

I'm in hopes of a code (military, disney visa, anything) for the weekend of the princess 1/2. We've thought about taking advantage of the 4/3 deal, but DH can't miss that much work :( Here's to hopeing!!!

[lemondog]

March 13-20 here. We are at the Polynesian. :cool1:

Same here! March 13-20 at the Poly.

[msminnieears]

We're March 13-20th.:cool1: Staying at POR!:yay: Can't wait. We took advantage of the 4/3 deal. Worked out GREAT for us.Saving about $1000 :woohoo:

[Khill]

We are planning the 13-20 as well at POR. We have a 5DD as well. Maybe see you there.:yay:

[Luv2trav]

I am waiting for AP rates for March. I hope they have something for March 21st-27th.. 4/3 doesn't work for us since we have AP's and you have to buy min of 5 day tickets now.. bummer.. We want the Polynesian too...Come on AP rates.

There's a new AP pin code email out this evening and it does cover you dates. Hopefully you got it. (if you registered your AP with the AP website and updated your profile). It covers dates 2/14/10-3/27/10. (30%/35%/40%). Not bad. The dates go all the way to 6/12 with blackout before and after Easter, blackout for MLK and Prez weekend.

[Alex&Evan'sMom]

I received a pin code for the 30/35/40% of Resort offer. Seems like a pretty good deal. Has anyone else here ever gotten a Resort discount offer before? How does it compare to the other discounts? We just don't think we can swing the 4/3 deal.

I got it! However I also got a great price from another company for April 2nd-7th that was better AND during Easter break.. I don't know if I want to fight the crowds to avoid taking my kids out of school? :confused3

[amccu18007]

Same here! March 13-20 at the Poly.

We will be there the 10-18th:goodvibes So great that so many of us are able to take advantage of this deal!

[Melissa<3Disney]

I was just wondering if anyone has heard of any room only codes (don't have an AP or a disney visa so those won't work for us). Or do people without those two things even get room only codes. Sorry if this is a silly question! We are going March 26-April 3rd.. and the 4/3 just doesn't work for us, because we only really need 4 day base tickets. We will be doing Seaworld and Uni/IOA a couple days of our trip and also a relax day. Thanks to anyone who can help! We have never stayed onsite and it would be so great if my family could. The only problem we run into is that there are def. 7 of us going and possibly 3 more. Are there resorts that have space big enough for us?! Thanks for any suggestions!:thumbsup2

[JanetMom]

You should still consider the 4/3 deal. That deal is really all about the room discount, since the difference between a 7 day ticket and a 4 day ticket is only about $10, so that is not where the savings are.

So assuming you are willing to stay at a Disney resort for 7 days, it is still a cheaper option, even if you don't use the parks on a few of the days.

I'll leave it to someone else to answer the question about which resort suits a larger group.

[Caitsmama]

Hi everyone, i am hoping to help my sister secure a deal for March, she is currently booked at POR with no discount -- (I am also booked at POR but got the Princess 1/2 marathon discount) We are going from March 4-15..

We are doing the 1/2 marathon on the 6 and then my sis gets married at the GF on the 12th..

Sis has an AP voucher, but it's not active yet, so that won't help her. Hoping for a Disney Visa discount (she does have one of those).. She can't get the race discount b/c she is offically checking into her room after the race weekend.. (staying in my room til then).


Maybe i should have her check into the 4/3 deal with the passes - and save her AP vouchers?? I think right now she is paying about $2,000 for the room for the week, no discounts.

[agriffith]

I am also looking for a room only discount for March 27 or 28-April 2 or 3. I do not need tickets at all, so not sure if the 4/3 deal would even benefit me. SOOO hoping that the new Disney Visa discount code will be extended to these dates, or that I get the ever elusive PIN!!:goodvibes

Got my pin code in the Email this morning and immediately call AAA to book. Hasn't been confirmed yet but we're staying at Pop 03/13/2010-03/18/2010. Can't wait. Was kinda worried we weren't going to be able to go. Also a little tip. I joined Wyndham Rewards a few months back, and what a deal. I have stayed about 10 days at places and already have 2 nights free saved up. Not only that you get great rates with as a AAA member. I booked the drive night prior to getting to WDW. Rate at the hotel was $159 through Travelocity for one night. The same hotel at Wyndham Rewards was $62. Same hotel, same night. Not only do I get a deal, but I get points toward a free night. What a good day.:cool1:

I'm going for the Princess half marathon in March and I spent yesterday on the phone with Disney pricing out the best options as far as how long to go and which deal to go with (all at moderate resorts, namely POR).

For 7 nights, out of the 4/3 deal, the princess race discount, and the 35% off moderate resort pin I had, the 4/3 deal is the cheapest/best deal.

We're saving for our wedding, so even though the 4/3 deal was excellent ($1378 for 7 nights at POR w/2 7-day tickets!), we decided that we shouldn't be spending that much right now, so I also priced it out for 4 or 5 nights.

4 nights at a moderate w/2 4-day tickets using the race discount was more expensive than 5 nights at a moderate w/2 4-day tickets using my pin code.

So I think we're going to do 5 nights at a moderate with the 35% off the room and then book our tickets using the race discount.

Hopes this helps anyone else who might have been wondering which the best deal was...

I was just wondering if anyone has heard of any room only codes (don't have an AP or a disney visa so those won't work for us). Or do people without those two things even get room only codes. Sorry if this is a silly question! We are going March 26-April 3rd.. and the 4/3 just doesn't work for us, because we only really need 4 day base tickets. We will be doing Seaworld and Uni/IOA a couple days of our trip and also a relax day. Thanks to anyone who can help! We have never stayed onsite and it would be so great if my family could. The only problem we run into is that there are def. 7 of us going and possibly 3 more. Are there resorts that have space big enough for us?! Thanks for any suggestions!:thumbsup2

There are lots of different resorts that can room a family of seven and even a family of 10. My entire family stayed at saratoga springs in a 2 bedroom suite. It was more than enough room. Just look on line. I think janetmom was right on about the 4/3 deal!:thumbsup2

We wanted our full anniversary weekend including the day after at a resort, but for the moment we have booked our actual anniversary on a bounce back special. It's the last day the special rate was good for during that time. The rates are at peak then, so for the moment we are taking what we got and we will watch to see what else may pop up. We are Florida Residents so it still is workable for us.

You should still consider the 4/3 deal. That deal is really all about the room discount, since the difference between a 7 day ticket and a 4 day ticket is only about $10, so that is not where the savings are.

So assuming you are willing to stay at a Disney resort for 7 days, it is still a cheaper option, even if you don't use the parks on a few of the days.

I'll leave it to someone else to answer the question about which resort suits a larger group.

isn't the 4/3 blocked out on these date???????????
