Ugh, still not good for dates I'm looking for. Is it a PIN like regular folks get, or is it one that is distributed by VISA? Or is it like a Disney VISA special?

[jll45]

Got this one too! I can't use it either. :sad2: It is from Chase Visa. The code is for Disney Visa cardholders only. It is not a pin but rather a code. The code is OIZ.

Sometimes they do put these out to Visa holders to see if there is any response before offering them to the public. So there is hope for everyone else out there.

[marcielm]

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know... our friends traveling with us are Disney Visa holders... might see if I can get it applied to our rooms anyway. ;)

[Christine9125]

This is awesome discount, just book French Quarter for $80 more then we were going to pay at POP

[sherry8253]

We are going the 6th through the 16th. I don't understand the gap in dates.

[funforfive]

I got this too...now if they'd extend the dates to 4/11:rolleyes1
Patiently waiting for a code I can use:surfweb:

[chicagoshannon]

OMG it's for our dates YAY! Too bad the ressie is booked under my parents names. I can't change anything til tomorrow. I hope there are still rooms available at WL for that rate tomorrow!

[cccdisney]

I just booked this! Yay!:cool1: My dh and I have wanted to get to WDW alone and this is the perfect time!

We are DLR experts but novices at WDW. Can you experts tell me if this is a good deal? :confused3
Here is what we booked:

2 adults
4 nights at WL (woods view)
Check-in Thur, 1/28/10
Check-out Mon 2/1/10
Park Hopper Tickets w/ Plus Dining Plan

Package (w/ insurance) is $1804.70

Also - is it too late to take the insurance off? Or are you stuck w/ it once you pay the deposit?

TIA!

I believe the dates blocked are for the Marathon and MLK weekend.

[Pammy jo]

Yay! I was able to save with this code for our Feb trip. On the phone now though cause I think they didn't give me exactly the right price. So are I've saved $175 over my AAA rate, so I'll still be happy even if I don't get any more off. Gotta love codes!!!

[Zippa D Doodah]

I got this code today too.

[Them!]

I was able to book FW cabins 1/4-1/12 including the marathon dates. I called once and they offered me OKW not any cabins but when I called back I was able to book the cabins for all my needed nights. Got lucky on the 2nd call. :thumbsup2

I cancelled my 3/4 package for this as it will save me about $100. ( I can buy park tix at SOG or local base so I didn't need the ticket package.) I am very happy.

[Pammy jo]

The first guy had switched my room to water view, so once I called back and switched it to a std, I saved $344 over my AAA rate for two rooms at POR for 5 nights. Great deal! And better yet, it all comes before the Oct 27th dining delima. Now I'm positive which resort I'll be at and can make my ADR's.
Oh happy day today!

I have read on this board that you have a week or so to take it off - but I wouldn't wait! Call now if you know you don't want it.

[disneyfan55]

WE got an AP PIN for various dates through June 12, 2010 for 40% off Deluxe, 35% off Mod and 30% off Values. There are quite a few ranges of dates starting Jan 3, 2010

[PIRATEGIRL007]

I got this one too. Works for our dates, we are flexible and wanted MLK weekend but we can deal w/ a different one. I just need to check airfare rates and we are set. Now if i can only get that PIN floating around for rooms up until June I could book our summer vacation.

Hello Disney can I please oh please have the pin??? :confused3

[eaj1228]

This is so great. Our dates are 1/30-2/10 and we are now booked for 4/3 deal for 10 nights + a room only reservation. I can't wait to call tomorrow and get this promotion.

We got this pin too (4 emails), plus a Visa card holder. Now wondering if you can add dining to either of these promotions?

[Christine9125]

My husband and I will be at POFQ Jan 30-Feb 5 also, we took the 40% over the 4/3 deal

You can add dining to any promotion. Disney will never turn down your money! :lmao:

[Lovinallthingsdisney]

I currently have package booked 1/20/2010 - 1/25/2010 through Sports Travel Division. I called to see if I could get better deal with 40% Room Only. The CM was able to apply a discount to a value resort....she quoted me a rate of $57 per night, but was not able to add tickets or dining to a value package. This would not save me any money unfortunately. Tickets and dining could, however, be added to a room only discount for a Mod and up.

[n2mm]

You can add dining to any promotion. Disney will never turn down your money! :lmao:

Sorry, I knew that. I meant to say to add dining to a room only code (we are AP holders and don't need the 1 day ticket). Since one of the discounts is an AP pin I didn't know if there is a ticket purchase required. I assume so with the Visa code.

[Coconuts]

I am so excited!:banana: Even though we were just there in Sept, I was saying to DH that I would love to go without the kids(no flames please) and enjoy all the roller coasters, epcot countries, and shopping. You know, things that kids never want to do!:rotfl: He then said maybe we could do a short trip for my 40th b-day in Feb. 40% off for my 40th--that sounds like it was meant to be.:goodvibes

[KarlaG4Kids]

DD & I both have Disney Visas and we haven't received any e-mails yet. We are booked in value resorts in January. The Disney Visa website only says 40% off Mod & Deluxes. It doesn't show a deal for value resorts. Are the 30% off values something you received an e-mail code for or was it a Disney Visa code? It would reduce our cost if we could use it, but we don't want to upgrade to a mod. and get the 40%.

[vicb]

Hmmm... I did not get any emails about this and I have a Disney Visa. Oh well, it doesn't quite cover my dates anyway.

Are all these dates value season? I go the week after Pres. Week and that is peak season. I am booked at CSR with the 4/3 so far.

[Mississippianna]

So, is this definitely only going to be good for AKL or WL? I'm dying to stay at the Poly, and have it booked for the last week in Feb. I might change our travel dates for a great deal, but I'm not sure if I want to loose my first choice in resort.

Definitely call and ask--other resorts are available.

We are booked at the Contemporary Concierge MK view. I called to see if it could be applied and it was available at the Contemporary but not for concierge AND MK view. I could take concierge in a standard room or MK view without concierge.

Now I can't decide what to do!!!!!

[marcielm]

We are going the 6th through the 16th. I don't understand the gap in dates.

If you have the Visa, call and check, because yesterday when I was on the phone the CM kept saying Jan.3 - Feb.12. I'm not sure if they are showing the blackout dates or not. I was hoping I could get it on our March ressie, but had no luck. ;)

We are in the same situation as you are--Value resort in January (1/19 - 1/25). We actually have 2 adjoining rooms at the POP reserved.

I called last night to see if there was anything they could do for us and he said he could not apply the new Disney Visa code because it's only for Mods and Deluxes. I then casually mentioned that I think I might have received an email with a different offer for Values. He took less than one minute and applied a 30% discount to both of our rooms! The rate is now $57.40 for weekday and $64.40 for weekend.

I specifically asked if that offer he applied was from an email I received and he said yes. However, I never received the email (even checked Spam folder) so not sure how that happened, but I'll take it!!!

Do you know if the date range for the values is the same? Has Visa sent anything out that stretches into March?

[SGMCO]

I got it yesterday and was so disappointed that it didn't have a longer
date range. I was hoping to get the pin that went thru 6/3 with $500.00
Gift Card. We're going end of May. But I am thrilled to get the PIn, don't get me wrong, that never happens, well I can't say that now.

[SGMCO]

Double post, sorry!!

AHHH! Y'all are ENCOURAGING ME! Haha. I'll call and ask later today on my lunch hour and report back.

[3LittlePirates]

I just got a pin code for 30% off value, 35% of moderate and 40% select deluxe hotes, Good for most dates 1/3/2010 thru 6/12/2010...(there were a few blacked out)

We just went in June, are going back in Dec.....dont know if I can convince my hubby we need to go again so soon!!!

I can use this pin to book until 2/28/2010 so we have sometime to decide!!

[Boogeyhead]

I got the email last night. We have a reservation for Poly in January (22-26)thru AAA. I forwarded the email to my TA and called her this morning. She called back right away and was able to knock $410 off the AAA rate.

Vicb,

Yes, the pin code came from Disney Last night!

Mickey T,

Yes, It was an email from Disney Destinations!

[Gary M]

We saved about $400 more than we had with AAA room discount. WL woods view room 1/10/10-1/15/10 (5 nights).

[drafthorsecrazy]

Now I can't decide what to do!!!!!

I had the same problem as you! Had booked CR MK view Club level. Ended up switching it to standard view club level. However I also grabbed a tower theme park view (non club) Now I have to decide which to keep!!

CR MK view Atrium club with AAA $1105 (canceled)
CR Standard(Bay Lake view) - 40% $729
CR Tower theme park view -40% $594

[SuperTink]

I thought there was already a general public code for very similar rates. I think I saw they were offering AKL for $145 or $149. Maybe the dates were slightly difference? I'm interested because I was considering getting the card for next year, but won't if they are going to offer public discounts anyway. :confused3

[Mississippianna]

Well, I called and asked about the Poly. After tax, the rate I was given was 246.37 per night.

I just got the same Email/pin! OMG - I really want to go back, but since DH isn't a disney fan :confused3 I am going to have to think really hard how to justify another trip! Too bad the pin doesn't extend into June as my kids don't get out of school till the 12Th . What to do :lmao:!!!

[JDietz40]

We were already planning a trip 5/22 - 5/30 of 2010 but received the pin code Friday so now we are staying club level at AKL.:yay:

First time at AKL and can't wait.

We are booked at POFQ from 1/31 - 2/7. I have the 4/3 deal now with the basic DDP and tickets for 8 days for 3 of us (my son is 16). Would the 40% off be a better deal??

I did not run the numbers on your exact situation but wanted to say that others have posted on this board that the 4/3 deal gives you a 43% discount on the rooms for mod and deluxe, as well as a small savings (something like $9) per ticket. So if the room only codes are 40% off I guess it wouldn't really be a savings?:confused3 Just passing on what I read.

EXCEPT!!!
IF you are booked for more than 7 nights it might be a better deal to go with the 40% since you are paying rack rate for 1 night extra. It figured out to be a better deal to use the 40% for 9 nights. It really depends on the prices of your nights (because of holidays or weekend rates).

That is a good point! :thumbsup2 I am booked for exactly 7 nights so it works a little better for me.

[MouseyMin]

I would like to thank everyone who took the time to post about this offer. I never received the e-mail, but, thanks to you, I was able to change my AAA rate to the Disney Visa rate!!

That is exactly what happened to me :) We are staying 9 nights at the French Quarter :cloud9: and it comes out to be cheaper doing the 35% off pin code room rate as opposed to the 4/3 deal :goodvibes I almost fell over when the CM told me the price :yay: With 9 nights at the French Quarter and two 9 day park hopper tickets, it was $3 cheaper than just the rack rate room only price :rotfl2: Now if Southwest fares will just come down we will be all set :banana:

[bsadelman]

Can I use this discount if I dont currently have the rewards card? What if I sign up now? I have a trip planned in Jan with the platinum plan, so the buy 4 get 3 does not apply to that. But I think this 40 percent off will. I have already placed the deposit on a regular credit card. Please help me out. Thanks

[KarlaG4Kids]

You would probably have to apply, get approval and then pay a deposit with the Disney Visa to be able to use it now. I know my DD & DSIL (who have fabulous credit) applied and it took a few days for her to receive an answer. It may be because she applied on a Sunday, but I was surprised she didn't get an immediate approval.

You could also book a second reservation at 40% off for the extra night and they'll note that the two are together so you'll not have to check out/check in or anything like that for the last day. Plus, the dining plan is good until midnight "at the date of checkout", which would carry into the extra day until midnight. Thus, the only thing that wouldn't be covered in the dining plan is breakfast the last day.

I would have said no, but I called up and asked if I could a different card for the deposit and was told no problem, even after the agent checked with guest services. Also, it occurred to me after I hung up that I was never even asked for proof that I have a Disney Visa card. And, I've never even used one at or with Disney before. Thus, it seems like anyone can use this promo. (Note: I DO have a Disney Visa card, so perhaps they verified it through some other means. I'm still surprised they let me use a different card for the deposit though.)

[2littleprincesses]

I got this code in my email--yeah!!! But then realized it was for Doris--who is that I don't know. Some person is using my email, but not my name so I can't get this pin code--ugh!

I don't think that the 40% will apply to you. I also have a trip planned for Jan. with the premium plan. I have a Disney Visa card and called to apply the 40% discount to the room part of my reservation and the CM said he couldn't do it. He said that I would have to cancel my reservation and rebook room only to get the 40% off. He said that I could then add the regular or deluxe dining plan but I couldn't add the premium plan.

I was told that the 1 night deposit had to be on the Disney Visa card. I had a previous reservation at the AAA rate, and I called to ask them to apply the code. They wouldn't transfer the deposit over until I proved to them that it was on the Disney Visa Card.

When i made my res last night she specifically asked for my disney visa card #

[Mommy Poppins]

I booked 2 rooms with the 40% off Disney Visa offer (for us and friends) and had to use my Disney Visa for the deposit on both rooms. Does anyone know if we have to pay the balance with the Disney Visa or if our friends can pay their balance any way they want to?

If you're using the Disney Visa Pin you have to pay with it. That's how you qualify for the PIN. Call and ask to be sure. We had to to get any Disney Visa benefit.

[ScubaCat]

This is so weird - I must have just had a poorly trained agent because I was able to use that pin and make the deposit on a different credit card. Nevertheless, if I were booking for someone else, I'd rather charge the whole thing on my card and have them reimburse me. That way I'd get the reward points!

As I said above, I did use the Disney Visa to book the rooms and pay the deposit so we would qualify for the discount. I actually paid about half of the cost of the rooms instead of one night since we were transferring deposits from a previous reservation at AAA rate.

My question is, when we get there can our friends pay their balance however they want to?

[Me!Thatswho]

I have a question that I hope someone here can answer. We've booked our trip back in Sept for Dec 28-Jan6. Paid the deposit with my Disney Visa, and intend to put the balance on it as well (full payment due in like two weeks). Can I use the code for the days that overlap with the promo? Or does one's entire package have to conform to the allotted dates?

You might be able to add the discount code to the days it includes. You will end up with 2 reservations though. You will have one for the first few days and one with the Visa Discount. I would call now. Do you have some type of package that it is due in 2 weeks? The room only portion will have to be paid when you arrive. Last year we did this and had 2 reservations because the AP discount codes were actually 2 different codes for our dates. They do say you may have to change rooms, we didn't have to.

Ok. Thanks. This it what I assumed, I just wasn't sure.

Do you have some type of package that it is due in 2 weeks? The room only portion will have to be paid when you arrive. Yes. We're almost at the 45 day point when full payment is due. Seeing as we have the room, dining plan, and park tickets, I'd rather just pay it (or charge it!!!!) all in full so I won't have to worry about it later.

Actually, now that you mention this, I believe we had a similar situation a few years ago when we drove and arrived a day early. We were able to buy the extra day (considered a separate reservation) and they allowed us to stay in the same room when our "real" vacation began.

I think I'll call Disney and see what they say.

Thanks for the help!:thumbsup2

[Bowen9475]

We got the Disney Visa pin and were able to get a great rate at POFQ for our MLK weekend mom & dad getaway. I would like to take the kids down over February vacation. I see that the ending date for the Visa pin is 2/11. If we checked in on 2/10 would we get the discounted rate for our entire stay?
