deals are up!

[noritake1]

Hi just FYI but the deals are for next Jan 3-March 27 I;m a TA and I've been on all morning making changes Thanks Jill

[golden2323]

I don't see them online - what are they?

[amejr999]

Source? there's nothing listed on the travel agent site...

[LittleStinkerbelle]

I just checked the WDW site and didn't see it under special offers. Did I miss it? Anxiously waiting! :hyper:

[919Florida]

My mom is a travel agent and I can also confirm this. She has already got the code for her clients this morning.

Travel dates are:
For stays most nights 11/1/09 - 12/24/09 AND 1/3/10 - 3/27/10

[Tink010]

I was just talking with Chelsea (CM) at Disney and she said that there is NOTHING currently running for Jan. 2010. But she did tell me to keep checking back on the site as it can be updated at anytime with new promos.

[swald91]

Nothing on the website that I can see...:confused3

[olive]

What kind of deal is it? If those dates are correct, and my current reservation is from 1/1 on, would I treat the reservation like a split stay so the deal could apply for the 1/3 on portion and I would pay rack for the first two nights?

If there are deals... that is what I would do in your shoes. Anything to save money.

I hope there are some really good deals, we are going in March.

[Capo]

So, I'm a bit confused. Are the Jan 2010 deals out or not? :confused3

[919Florida]

The discount is Buy 5 Get 2 at value resorts & at the moderates, deluxe and vacation club resorts it is Buy 4 get 3 Free.

[Southerndisney]

Just spoke with Disney.
Value 5/2 code GNW
Free dining was cheaper for me.

[dizfam4]

What is the deluxe code for 4/3? Anyone?

[Tinker*Shell*Bell]

Just spoke with Disney.
Value 5/2 code GNW
Free dining was cheaper for me.
Was that a previous trip free dining or is it being offered in 2010 as an alternative to 4/3 and 5/2?

Thanks for any info.

[olive]

On with them right now. I am being told 4/3 (or 5/2) is the only deal available right now. If your stay starts earlier than 1/3, as mine does, the first two nights will be booked as room only and you have to buy separate tickets. For us, looks like our tix will cost a little over $200 more (2 day tix plus 8 day tix instead of 10 day tix). I don't see why we can't just get 10 day tix... I'll try to get the code.

[McKelly]

The discount is Buy 5 Get 2 at value resorts & at the moderates, deluxe and vacation club resorts it is Buy 4 get 3 Free.

I received 4/3 at a moderate.

[reducereuserecycle]

i called and added the 4/3 to my January ressie!!!!! :dance3:

[JJ721]

I received 4/3 at a moderate.

What was the code?

[Bambi222]

I didn't need a code. I just asked for the 4/3 to be added to my ressie and she applied it!

[RickyMouseMom]

I just called and was told there were no deals for next year. :confused3

She also told me code GNW was only good until Dec 24 :confused3

I am freakin' out! :scared1:

[Minniekins]

Just call back and try again, obviously other CM's are able to do it, she just was somehow uninformed.:confused3
Good Luck, another CM should be able to help!

[Figment1990]

Can anyone tell me what would happen if your travel dates are Mar 20-29? (Easter rates start on 3/28). Also, how do they adjust for weekends? Which days are "free"? The cheaper weekday rates or the weekend rates?

Any other specifics about this new 4/3? Like if you have to buy tickets for the entire number of nights of your stay? Or if you get any sort of gift card during the peak season dates (like last year)?

Has anyone even posted which dates this deal is good for yet? I understand January, but what about Feb or March?

[marie1981]

CM told me that the code was KOW....

You now have to buy ticket for a minimum of 4 or 5 days, depending on if you have the 4/3 or 5/2... No more one day minimum ...

[Minniekins]

I think it's Jan 3 - Mar 27. No gift card this year.

[Tink010]

I just called and was told there were no deals for next year. :confused3

She also told me code GNW was only good until Dec 24 :confused3

I am freakin' out! :scared1:

Yup, the GNW code didn't work for me either. But the CM (Tracy):littleangel: who I was speaking with put me on hold for like 10 mins (she had to search for the proper code) but did apply the 4/3 deal to my ressie. Actually, I upgraded to the Poly.......wouldn't have been able to stay there without this promo.:cool1:

[olive]

4/3 code is PDL. Good luck to all! I switched resorts, as my Bay Lake view room at the Contemporary wasn't available under the deal. Only CL rooms in Contemporary available. This was less than what we were paying before for a non-CL room, but Polynesian came in MUCH cheaper.

[Bstanley]

OK, just got off the phone with a very professional gentleman called Ferris(?)

Set up a totally new reservation.

I mentioned that I had read about a new 7 nights for the price of 4 offer on 'DISBoards.com'. He confirmed that it existed (did not require a code) and set up the following:

Checking in on 12/11, checking out on 12/18 (7 nights)

Polynesian Garden View, 3 adults (extra $25 a night - those darn 19 year old kids).

7 Day passes with the Hopper Option (only).

Total Price: $2,657.37 (I declined the travel insurance - anyone else notice that the travel insurance costs more than the cancellation charge, no sense in that at all)

So if you don't get the offer the first time, just keep calling - it's available.

[5DisneyNuts]

deal details are up on mousesavers:

Disney Rewards Visa 7-for-4 or 7-for-5 Package Offer for November 2009 - March 2010
Disney Rewards Visa cardholders can purchase a fantastic buy 4, get 7 or buy 5, get 7 vacation package offer valid for stays November 1 - December 24, 2009 through January 3 - March 27, 2010. (Disney says some dates are blacked out for this offer, but it's possible a few hotels are available during those dates.)

I expect the same offer will be made available to the general public on Thursday, October 1.

Here are the details:

Buy a 4-night/4 day vacation package at a MODERATE, DELUXE or DELUXE VILLA resort, get a 7-night/7-day package. That's 3 FREE hotel nights and 3 extra days on your theme park admission tickets, equivalent to a 43% discount on your room and tickets! You must buy a package that includes at least 4 nights' accommodations at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel plus minimum 4-day Magic Your Way Base Tickets to qualify for the 3 FREE nights and the 3 extra days on your tickets.

Buy a 5-night/5 day vacation package at a VALUE resort, get a 7-night/7-day package. That's 2 FREE hotel nights and 2 extra days on your theme park admission tickets, equivalent to a 29% discount on your room and tickets! You must buy a package that includes at least 5 nights' accommodations at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel plus minimum 5-day Magic Your Way Base Tickets to qualify for the 2 FREE nights and the 2 extra days on your tickets.

Extra days on a ticket don't cost that much, so the primary savings are on the hotel room portion, so the higher category hotels offer the most total savings.

To calculate your approximate savings on a "buy 4, get 7" package at a Moderate, Deluxe or Deluxe Villa resort:

Multiply the room rate (2009 or 2010) times 3 (savings of 3 nights' room rate).
Add $9.58 per person (ticket savings for the 3 extra days).
The total is your savings.
To calculate your approximate savings on a "buy 5, get 7" package at a Value resort:

Multiply the room rate (2009 or 2010) times 2 (savings of 2 nights' room rate).
Add $6.39 per person (approx ticket savings for the 2 extra days).
The total is your savings.
You can stay longer than 7 nights (up to 10 nights) with this package, but there is a maximum of 3 free nights and 3 extra days per ticket, per stay, if you will be staying in a Moderate, Deluxe or Deluxe Villa resort, or 2 free nights and 2 extra days per ticket, per stay, if you will be staying in a Value resort.

You can stay less than 7 nights, but you still must purchase 4 nights at a Moderate, Deluxe or Deluxe Villa resort, or 5 nights at a Value resort, so you'll end up with fewer free nights/extra days. Obviously a 7-night stay is the best deal!

You can add the Quick Service Dining Plan for 2009 or 2010, the regular Dining Plan for 2009 or 2010, or the Deluxe Dining Plan for 2009 or 2010, but you will pay full price for your dining plan (no free days of dining).

The package includes standard Magic Your Way Base Tickets. You can upgrade them with the Park Hopper, Water Parks & More and/or No Expiration option(s), but you'll pay the regular price for those upgrades.

This offer cannot be applied to the Premium or Platinum packages or to "split stays" (for example, 4 nights at one hotel, 3 nights at another).

You must book this special package by 12/20/09.

[Southerndisney]

Free dining is no longer offered. I have a free dining pin I received in July.

[Misty89]

I think someone said that the deal only went up to March 27th ( I could be wrong) it sounds like your paying full price.

[Corjack]

I think the design of this new deal may just be the reason we try a Moderate! I am sad it is not 7 for 4 at the values but happy with any savings.

Do you think that they will extend the dates to include April/May(after Easter and before memorial day)?

[hockeybabe]

Anyone try booking without the Disney visa?

[woodleygrrl]

I booked it without the Disney Visa. No problem

[LittleStinkerbelle]

The deal ends on 3/27 and you can't get the discount past that day. I was just on with Disney and wanted the same week you have but was told that booking had changed from last year (you could get full discount if you booked the last day if would include the whole week). New policy is vacation must end on last day of deal to get the discount.

[CherylA]

Well even though I'm not thrilled with this deal I booked. It's not as good as last year, no gift certificate :confused3 but it may be the best I'm going to get. I called and booked Feb 15-22 at PO Riverside standard view with Quickservice and 7 day base tickets. For 1 adult and 2 children my total was $1920. I so wish we weren't traveling during peak season, we've never paid these prices! Oh well I guess it's better than taking the kids out of school for a whole week. Again!:laughing: It was only $150 more to book a mod than a value so even though we like POP a lot we're trying PO Riverside.

Oh BTW my CM asked where I heard about the dal and I told her the DIS. She said she was just asking because the deal wasn't supposed to be released until Wed but if people called up and specifically asked about it they could give it to them today. When I asked about it being tied to Disney Visa she said it wasn't a Disney Visa promotion and anyone could book it.

[chipsgal63]

I was just told by my CM that Presidents Week was blacked out...
Anyone else heard this? I'd hate to stay on hold again trying another CM, but if she was wrong I will have to.

[ugagirl]

Please help... I was so hoping there would be a free dining deal. For myself, DH and DD4 it would be:

$1382 for the 5/2 deal - no dining plan
OR
$1451 for 5 nights/4 days with dining plan

I don't know what to do. I like the idea of 7 night so we could not be as rushed. But I think it will kill our wallets for food.

[jmkst58]

nothing good for ap holder yet though, right? i need 1/30- 2/7 but DON'T NEED TICKETS!!! ughh. :confused3:rolleyes1 jeezpirate::rolleyes:

my dates are Presidents Week Feb 15-22nd. Maybe because of the day you are checking in. I would try back and then maybe try to checng your check in date by 1 day and see if that helps. Also have them try other resorts to see if it's blacked out at another resort choice.

[limabeanmom2003]

Just Booked CBR in a PIRATE ROOM!!! So excited!!

saved $882 with the 7 for 4 dea!!

I booked Feb 13-20 with the new deal at the BC. OMG Peak season is killing me!!!

[OceanStateKelly]

:sad: That deal won't work for me, only going for 3 nights.. Hopefully they'll have more deals soon.

[Susie63]

Are these deals just for WDW? I am waiting for a DL deal

[Jen12573]

Just booked 4/3 with Skip:

Jan. 16-23, 2010
CSR, king bed, 8-days, 7-nights
Two adults, 8-day base tickets
$1319.20 without insurance

Wahoo, we're heading back to Disney, it's official!

[kim929]

I just booked :

2 water view rooms at Port Orleans room a total of 2 adults 3 children (2 diffrent families) 7 day park hoppers for a total of 2966.97 :cool1:

[dgackey]

I'm looking to book travel to WDW late April or early May for our 10th anniversary, and to a large degree, my choice of where to stay depends on the promotions that are offered (i.e., if the 4/3 or 5/2 deals are extended, I'll probably book the Poly, otherwise I may look at less expensive options).

Anyone have any ideas when they would roll out promos for those time periods?

Thanks


Dan

[Sarah_Rose]

I'm so excited! My Jan 6-13 stay (Marathon Weekend/Honeymoon trip! WOOHOO!!! :rotfl:) at CSR with a king bed room for 2 adults with 7 days PH went down from $2035 to $1417. No dining plan - still considering the QS one, but no plans to add it right now.

:cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

[Sarahboo]

I just booked 1/23-1/30 at Coronado Springs for two adults, two kids (one is under 2) with dining for $2074.44 including taxes etc.

We don't have the Visa and they didn't even ask if we did. Plus, if we went to POP Century it was going to be $1904.41, so we went moderate for less than $200 more! Woohoo!

[sersee05]

I am checking with my Ta now to see if the 4/3 deal is better for me..

I have a question..I also saw they are offering bounceback offers for free dining on the Mousesavers site..I am going in November..if you book the bb for fd..can you book the 4/3 deal too? Or is that a no no since it is two codes?:confused3

[clanmcculloch]

Assuming that the BB offered in November will be FD, it's highly doubtful the the BB will be for the same dates as the 4/3 deal.

Even if by some miracle they are over the same dates, this would be combining discounts which is something Disney doesn't do. If this miracle does happen, just do the math and figure out which deal is the best one for your personal situation.

[jockey]

We have Ap's so if we book this deal do we have to buy tickets too?

[FloFlo71]

Can you book 4/3 online?

[CherylA]

Can you book 4/3 online?

Not yet, most likely you will be able to later in the week.

[karenmmk]

I was just told by my CM that Presidents Week was blacked out...
Anyone else heard this? I'd hate to stay on hold again trying another CM, but if she was wrong I will have to.

Hi, I was able to book over President's Day at Pop Century.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of tickets did you get? I booked the same dates at the same resort with dining but have park hoppers on our tickets. We are two adults and one kid (13 yrs old) and my price was $2400 and change. Do park hoppers really add that much??

[CanadaMomto5]

Your 13 yo counts as an adult for Dining. That may be the difference. PH are 50 dollars (or so) per ticket.

[Sandisw]

We have Ap's so if we book this deal do we have to buy tickets too?

For the deal released today, yes, you would still be required to book a full package with a ticket at least 4 days (moderate, deluxe, or deluxe villa) or 5 days (value).

[Firedad]

My family (2 adults, 2 teens) are currently booked at Pop Jan. 15-20. I was hoping for a room only discount since we have 4 days of no-ex PH tickets. Maybe something will pop up before we go.

[omghidanielle]

Nevermind.......I think I got it worked out

[FloFlo71]

Not yet, most likely you will be able to later in the week.

Thank you.

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

Yup, the GNW code didn't work for me either. But the CM (Tracy):littleangel: who I was speaking with put me on hold for like 10 mins (she had to search for the proper code) but did apply the 4/3 deal to my ressie. Actually, I upgraded to the Poly.......wouldn't have been able to stay there without this promo.:cool1:

I just got off the phone with Tracy. She told me that she was mentioned in this thread. :goodvibes and said she knew right away who you were based on what you posted. LOL! She said that you were a real sweetheart.

Anyway...if y'all get Tracy, she rocks!!!! We just had the best chat ever, she was so patient, and...........she helped me save $53 (and .48cents :laughing:) from my original booking (room discount) from August. Yipppieee!!!


If you get Tracy consider yourself lucky :cheer2:

Tracy: Thanks for your help! When DS gets home we will look at the resorts and have him pick. :O)

[SummerIrmoma2_3]

That is weird. We have the Disney Rewards Visa and I checked the site and there is nothing new on there. It is still showing free dining. Are only certain card holders getting it? It is not for my travel dates anyway, but I kind of find it strange.

[jodilinton]

I was able to update my booking today for Jan 23 through Feb 1 and got the deal. I was excited to save the money. Can't wait to check out Caribbean Beach Resort for the first time.

[SkcMom]

I would see what quote you get based on the new deal, it may be cheaper even with the passes.

maybe you can do a 1 day pass?

[JanetMom]

I love the disboards!

I just booked the 4/3 deal at the Contemporary CL in March!

Very exciting!

[Sarahboo]

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of tickets did you get? I booked the same dates at the same resort with dining but have park hoppers on our tickets. We are two adults and one kid (13 yrs old) and my price was $2400 and change. Do park hoppers really add that much??

We got the base tickets. :nod:

[goofy53073]

I tried to apply the deal to my current ressie but I was told I had to get park tickets for all of us in order to take advantage of the deal? Is this correct? We are staying 4 nights off property first with family so then I would have to buy 3 day tix plus 4 day (with 3 free) for all of us and that would be much more expensive then just getting 10 day tix and skipping the 4/3 discount! Ugh!!!

Stacey

[glitzybabes]

OK, just got off the phone with a very professional gentleman called Ferris(?)



Ferris was the CM that helped me when I got the free upgrade to SSR. Never will forget his name. He was nice and professional. :goodvibes

[DisneyLover83]

Quick question that I hope someone can help me with. We changed a BB to the 4/3 at POFQ with reg dining and only wanted 5 days of tickets, she said we had to have 7 days. We will not use those two extra days. The buy 4 get 3 free is only the room rate correct? and tickets are still regular price? The CM acted as thought we are paying nothing for the 2 extra days of tickets so there is no reason to take them off the ressy. I am confused! We have plans those two days for la Nuba and MVMCP.

Is there a way to stay with the family for the second half of the trip instead of the first? That way you could do the package, then upgrade the tickets to the 10day tickets

You pay for 4 day tickets and get 7 days. It only about $10 worth of free tickets per person but those extra days are free.

I just wanted to tell both of you ladies thank you. You both gave me some serious pixie dust. pixiedust: Usually it us giving our guest the pixie dust :) But you both gave it back to me. Thank you for making me realize why I get up early every morning and loving my job. It is people like you who make our job so fun and enjoyable. I worked 16 hours yesterday and when I came home I had to show the hubby these wonderful posts. He just laughed and told me he already knew Tracy rocks ;) Thank you again and enjoy your magical trips I know you will ;) :cutie:

sorry i did not get back sooner - my phone went down in a storm yesterday.

anyways.......
yes it was full price, i cannot take advantage of the deal because they are no longer allowing check in the last day and still be able to get the deal.
i would have to check in on the 20th to get the 7 day package. which i cannot do because spring break for us is 3/29-4/6.
atleast this is what my CM told me after she asked a supvisor. I have not had time to call back to confirm thats true or not. i will get a chance tomorrow to call again. ( on lunch now, and no time to call this evening)

it would have been sweet though. the 4 day price was $1,6xx.xx for 7 days if it would have worked with my dates.
