May/June Codes watch....

[EEyorelover22]

I was told the first of Feb and also to check Sunday's paper. Nothing in our paper except the WI Dells this week. I called on Friday.

I'm hoping Ground Hog's Day brings us all some luck.

[dreams4disney]

Nothing in our paper today. Nothing to have anything to do with Disney any how. I really hope to get a discount. I already took a few days off of our trip. I will go no matter what but it is nice to go for less.

[KJal1]

We're patiently waiting too. Let's all keep our fingers crossed!!

[Tinkaroo]

I'm embarassed to say I ran out to get the paper at 6:30 a.m. - and then nothing.

When, oh when, will they come???

[missypie]

I'm so hoping it's NOT Feb. 1st, because I have to be out of town on business the whole day.

[2princessintraining]

add me to the list of "impatiently waiting"...Apr. 22-30 is our trip, and I am an AP holder...w/AAA rates currently. Not that great, hoping for better.

All I do about 8 times a day is check this board!!!!!!!!! :wizard:

[Blueeyes101817]

i posted this awhile ago, but im gonna ask again--so sorry!!
im going to disney from feb 5-12--i wont have any internet access while im there..is there anywhere i can go on property to see if the codes come out? i would hate to miss them while im there (i knwo i could call every day, but i am going to be with the family i babysit for , and dont want to hold them up by calling)

[lillygator]

I really don't think it will be 2/1....I still need to dig out last years info but I am pretty sure I booked my May trip after our return from our Valentine trip.

[areno79]

Do they usually offer specials for May? I thought last year the codes ended April 30 :confused3 I sure hope they do offer discounts...plus maybe they'll want to drum up some business for the kickoff of Disneyland's 50th anniversary celebration??

[Lisa AF]

Just wanted to post that I called today and still no discounts available.

[Shells9]

Nothing new on Mousesavers today. Is anyone calling this am?

[Shells9]

Nothing today....the CM said nothing pending that she could see, either.

[EEyorelover22]

Nothing today....the CM said nothing pending that she could see, either.

Thank you for calling :sunny:

[KYmommy]

THanks for informing me about codes!!
One more question... How do you find out about codes? Do you call WDW and just ask?
Kris

[mickeymom629]

I called to see if I have a PIN, but I don't. She said to keep calling for summer discounts (we are going the last week in June). She said the postcards are random, but you never know when you will get one, so be looking. I sure hope I get one!

[JayCT]

I suppose I should get in on this thread. We are going the end of April and staying at the Dolphin. We wouldn't mind getting a code to stay at a Disney resort, but I do not hold out much hope given that the previous codes ended just before we go.

By the way, last year the codes for May came out the end of February. I think it was the 22nd. We went in May on a travel employee code, but this year we are not eligible. Too bad, they were great discounts. Come on WDW, bring on the codes. Jay

[cdpa4d]

Actually AP Rates came out March 9th. However, I believe there was some other code that came out right before that, maybe a Disney Visa code or something like that.
ADP :goodvibes

[Goofy41]

::MickeyMo Actually I found the discount on a different website, and it was in Feb. when I found it. This was after the postcards were mail out for the April dead line, we book on the last it was to expire and we were able to carry the rate for the entire stay. I guess they post the codes at a certain time, if they do not get the response from they thought from the mail outs. ::MickeyMo

[crazyforgoofy]

I have no reservations for a May 18-25 trip! I'm getting anxious and will probably have to bite the bullet and make some soon. I am hoping for a really good rate at PO-FQ for a couple of days and then a move to Pop. Isabella and I are going to celebrate 'mommy and girl time.' The adoption almost certainly won't be formalized by them - (IF ever) but this is important to her and was promised when we thought the process would go more smoothly. It's hard to explain legal procedures to a 6 year old!

French Quarter is her all time favorite place! My sister and her little guy are joining us for a few days of the trip and they want to stay at Pop Century so we're willing to move. Anyway, I need great AP rates or a wonderful code of some type. I'm checking in here and on Mousesavers frequently. I call CRO from time to time.

Thanks everyone for keeping me updated! Here's :wizard: some magic that you all get the best rooms at the best rate. :wave2:

[dudspizza]

Here is when all “public” codes came out for last summer. Notice AP rates for 4/18-7/4 didn’t come out until March 9th. I would not expect to see them until then. Disney Visa codes have been few and far between. I have full confidence the codes will come out, just keep checking and they will come. I don’t personally think the new ticket prices will have any affect on codes being offered. If you look at the history at mousesavers.com, they have offered AP rates all year long, or basically all year long. Relax, be diligent about checking and you will get your code.

The first dates are the dates the code was available to be booked, then it lists who qualified for the code and finally the date the code came out and when it had to be booked by.

4/18/04-6/5/04 "available to anyone" code for Ft. Wilderness campsites & cabins 1/20/04, exp 3/31/04

[ShellyShellfish]

can someone tell me what you mean by codes and stuff? I'm new to this board and don't fully understand what ya'll mean...

I appreciate it! Thanks :)

[timandlesley]

Last year they had the stay for 7 nights pay for 5 deal, do you think they would put out any discounts for packages this year with their 4 for 1500 deal? I sure hope so. We have MYW plus dining for 6 nights, sure would be nice to add one night and have two be free, we could afford to upgrade to a moderate or deluxe at that rate.
Lesley

[robmary]

Shellyshellfish, I sent you a PM (Private Message) on codes, so look there.

[ShellyShellfish]

Shellyshellfish, I sent you a PM (Private Message) on codes, so look there.

[DizzyBell]

:rotfl2: I hope that we get the codes real soon.... :rotfl2:

[luvmk]

I called this morning and nothing has been released. :sad:

Thanks for the info. We will just have to keep waiting.

[Miss Kelly]

:banana: :banana: :banana:

[PrincessaC]

do they only come out with codes for AP and fl residents?

[mom2my4dwarfs]

I am patiently waiting for the AP rates to be released. Last year they were released March 9th and there was a room only code at the beginning of February last year. So I am keeping my fingers crossed that we will see a room only code soon.

[fun & fancy free]

I can't atand all this waiting!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes1

:wave: :wave2: princess: princess:

[EEyorelover22]

Nothing on 2/2
And, I'd like to add that I cannot stand Ground Hog's Day!!!
YUCK!!!!!!

[lillygator]

I just called and nothing past 4/16 yet...

[EsmeraldaX]

Thanks for the updates.

Still waiting for anything now in mid May. We will probably just go for Pop Century or another value (we just got a new puppy and it was stay at CS like we planned or get the puppy and downgrade to a value....the puppy won. :love: )

I hope we can get AP rates. :cool1:

[DisDarling]

Is it possible the codes just ARENT coming out due to the Celebration?? :confused3 Would not be cool............... :earseek:
D.D.

[imadisneyholic]

Is it possible the codes just ARENT coming out due to the Celebration?? :confused3 Would not be cool............... :earseek:
D.D.

I sure hope that this is not the case!! :worried:

[doodlebug]

So are there any codes (besides AP rates) out there for 4/9-4/17?? Haven't found anything on Mousesavers for my time period

[Selket]

My guess is that there will be some sort of discount codes coming out - I don't think the coming 50th celebration would mean no codes. If anything I'd guess they'd want to make sure that folks WANT to come and fill up the parks. Releasing some discounts are the way to attract more attention to the celebration too. If you have a party and attendance is spotty that doesn't look too good does it? At least that is my hope :earboy2:

[jcemom]

do they only come out with codes for AP and fl residents?No, they also release codes for the general public, though the discounts are usually just a bit more for AP holders and FL residents.

[allisonwonderland]

aghhhhhhhh,,I NEED A CODE.........lol

[ead79]

I'm thinking it will be late February/early March. I hope they end the torture sooner though!

[mel]

We are looking for codes also, planning for 1st week of June! :wave2:

[justhat]

I was just deleting some old mail and noticed that all the "Passholder savings" e-mails were sent 2 months before the date the codes were good for. I know that sounded confusing, so I'll try to explain. Since August I've gotten e-mails from Disney about AP codes (someone mentioned these earlier on the thread) 'a day before they're released', or so Disney claims. Anyway, I got an e-mail for the October 31-December AP rates on August 25th, January-February e-mail came on October 20th, and February-April e-mail came on December 27th. So, if that follows for the April-July codes, then I should get that e-mail within the next 2 weeks! Of course, we all know Disney is unpredictable, so don't get excited, but since they've all come about 2 months before the 1st check-in date, that would be February 17th (or around there). So that's what I'm hoping for. Not sure if this was already mentioned as I haven't read all 20 pages very carefully, but maybe it's an idea.

[kutchyone]

Thanks so much for sharing with us. Still looking for an AP discount June 7th to 16th at CSR. Will keep checking daily.

[fun & fancy free]

Makes sense to me. I hope your right. That would then coincide with what I was told by a CM. "Feb 1 or Feb 17". You know of course I will still be on these boards everyday until then. My biggest fear: missing my code :scared1:

:wave: :wave2: princess: princess:

[kutchyone]

We are all in the same boat. How many times a day do you check? Now that it is getting closer I’m going to start worrying about which moderates are going to possibly have discounts during the time we are visiting. Keeping my fingers crossed that all works out the way that I want it to. I know, I know nothing is guaranteed and if I want the discount I have to be willing to switch from CSR to somewhere else. It would be great if AKL, WL or any other deluxe was the same or less then my booked rate of $166.00 w/tax. That would be a no brainer but my luck doesn’t run that way.

[F1Julie]

Last year, it was early March when the codes came out for late April - June. If there are still no codes by mid March, I'll book AAA or rack rate I guess.

[justhat]

I remember last year's codes very well, and probably will forever. The Disney Visa codes came out the weekend before my daughter was born and the AP codes a week after we got home from the hospital! I remember calling to switch our rate while holding our newborn and sitting on one of those donuts still sore from the stitches, but I was afraid if I waited till my husband got home we'd miss out. Of course now it sounds stupid, but at the time, well....

By the way, Cheryl, we have a postcard rate at AKL for April and our rate is $166/night for savannah view. WL wasn't available. Hopefully when the AP rates come out you can get that rate or better!

[minnie1928]

Your baby is SOOOOO cute! I just had to say that! princess:

Oh, and I'm waiting for codes too! :earboy2:

[ninaTN]

I need May codes too! We are going May 15-21 and it will be our kids first time! YEAH! :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: I just found this board and I am hooked! :wave2: I hope that they will be out soon!

[justhat]

Thanks Kelly! I can't believe she's almost 1!

[mel]

I'm in too! Looking for 1st week of June! :flower:

[fun & fancy free]

"justthat" that story doesn't sound stupid to me. It is amazing what us parents won't do for our kids. I mean we are all going to WDW for the kids, right. :rotfl2: :rotfl: :rotfl2: :rotfl: :rotfl2: :rotfl:

I am sorry to ask this but, where are you all looking daily for codes?
Please help. Thanks.

Thanks. I will look there.

[Blueeyes101817]

from anyone that called lately, do you think there is a chance of the codes coming out in the next week? Im leaving for disney and i wont have computer access..im afraid ill miss out!

[WebmasterPenny]

Ahem - I feel duty bound to point out that discount codes can be found right <i>here on the DIS!</i>

Our discount page (http://www.wdwinfo.com/discounts/discounts-current.htm#top)

[kutchyone]

justthat,

My one and only was born on February 10th and I can remember the weather, what I had to eat, what I was doing when I went into labor 21 hours prior to giving birth, the dinner my husband had in the birthing room 2 hours before she was born and that was almost 16 years ago! I can’t remember what I had for dinner two days ago but all those memories from 16 years ago will come flooding back to me next week starting on the 9th when I will tell her and my husband, “this time 16 years ago I was watching the first President Bush give his state of the union address when I started having these pains and thought they were those Braxton Hicks (spelling?) things that I had read about.

Thanks for the information. Keeping my fingers crossed for CSR, standard view, $94.00 to $116.00 with tax. AP or general room only code. I’ll light some candles!

[fun & fancy free]

Has anyone called today? I'm sure this board woulb be a buzz if something was out though.

:wave: :wave2: princess: princess:

[Goofy41]

I called yesterday and nothnig new to report as of yet.

[Smee]

Nothing yet. :rolleyes1

[Brwhite]

I called this morn. and the cm I talked to was extremely nice. I asked her to see if I had a pin attached to my name. She took time to explain them, as if I didn't know what they were, so I played along. Then she told me that, while she didn't know for certain, she was sure that general(she had a different name for them) codes would be coming out in a couple weeks.
Of course she said, I'm not promising anything, but just keep your eyes open. She did mention "print and television"

[justhat]

Isn't it amazing how memories work Cheryl? I too can't even remember what I wore yesterday, but can remember everything surrounding my daughter's birth-and it definitely doesn't seem like it was a year ago!

[kutchyone]

I suppose I may still be doing that when she is 30! Take care.

[Clare]

The waiting is killing me! We've been out of town for a week so as soon as we got home I was checking! Of course, I'm glad I didn't miss the codes, but I was hoping we would at least have some news on when (& if) they might be out!

I'm crossing my fingers for late May!

Sorry to hijack this thread for a moment, but you ladies would LOVE the Gilmore Girls episode from the first season, I think it's called "Rory's Birthday". Lorelei tells her labor and delivery story to her daughter every year on the Rory's birthday. One of my favorites, because I have an only daughter too.

[kutchyone]

It's nice to know that I'm not the only nut-case out there. I relieve it every year with her, or least I have been doning is ever since I thought she could understand most of it.

[Clare]

Has anyone called today? I would, but don't want my DH making fun of me! He already thinks I'm obsessed!

[kutchyone]

I really wish they would stop running that stupid add in the travel section already. Same prices, no deals!

[SRUAlmn]

I'm watching too for a friend of mine from work who is going the last week in June. Do you think they will release general public codes since they have changed the way the packages are priced. They are publicizing this whole new 'Disney is cheaper' angle so I am worried that they may not offer as many deals and discount codes as they have in the past.

[luvthatduke]

Just spoke to CRO about my ressie,
and asked him to check on AP rates.
None available for the moment after 4/16.

[AndyMcV]

Hi Gang

I just wanted to be included here in case the room only codes came out. We're looking to go May 29th to June 9th!

Which is usually better, PINS that you individually receive from Disney or the codes that they make available to everyone?

[DebbieB]

Which is usually better, PINS that you individually receive from Disney or the codes that they make available to everyone?

PINS are usually available before the codes come out to the general public. I think some people have already received postcards or e-mails with PINS past 4/16.

[luvdzny]

We are thinking of going in June, so I better get in on this thread! :disrocks:

[4orm]

I would die for a code for my AKL stay!!Paying $320 a night is killing me, knowing I could spend it on stuff in the parks!

[cstraub]

I've been checking everyday for June. I have a few links on my startup page that allow me to check discount codes frequently. I know last summer in early June we stayed at AKL for $132 a night with a to die for pool view!! We also stayed at the Contemporary for around $166 (garden wing). These were annual passholder rates. Sometimes the codes for the general public beat the Annual Passholder Rate though. I always check both.
Good luck to everyone!!

[sleepycor]

can someone share the links they go to, to check for codes??

very much appreciated :flower:

[cstraub]

http://www.mousesavers.com/disneyresorts.html#codes

http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/tickets/packageListing?id=SpecialOfferListingPage

and of course the DIS has the codes listed when they bevome available!!

I'm sure there are more links out there but these are the ones I like.

[ciera321]

I wanted codes before, now I NEED them - Just did our taxes and we owe the gov. $4,600 :earseek: I about fell off my chair. First thing my DH said was, "Well, I guess you'll be on DIS night AND day now... :sad2: Come On Codes!!!!!

[JayCT]

My guess is that will be out around the 20th of February. That is around when they were released the last couple of years. Jay

[jkjjhuddle]

My ressies are already made. Is it difficult to apply the codes? If you have a package can you still apply the codes?

Oh My! I can't imagine! Well at least it sounds like you still get to go on vacation anyways. If this happened with our taxes we would be 'grounded' for at least a year! We just sent ours in and we have a refund coming, so at least we don't have to worry about that.

[MemoryMakers2669]

STOP, STOP! Your breaking my heart. I don't know how much longer I can wait. I thought something would come out in January, now February......I don't know how much mor disappointment I can take. :guilty:

[missypie]

As it turns out, we are not going anywhere for spring break. The last two years we've been on, or getting ready to leave for, spring break at about the time the summer codes came out. This year I'll be on ethe phone to Disney instead!

[cottontail]

Hi:

Does anyone remember how much the moderates were with a code last year in may/june.

Thanks,

Deb.

[LauraAnn630]

My God 320.00 a night to sleep!! Is it worth it? Id rather buy myself something.

[SRUAlmn]

I agree, LauraAnn! I had never stayed at a Value resort before this past September, and now that I have, I don't know why we ever paid so much money at the other places. Since it's just the 2 of us adults, the space in the room is fine, and we don't mind being on the busses. I would MUCH rather pay $55/night (special 5+2 deal last fall) and spend the other money on fun stuff! Plus, we stayed at POP and the theming is AWESOME! I really felt more immersed in Disney for my entire stay than I had at the other places we've stayed. I have stayed at the Deluxes, and IMO it's not really THAT much of a difference to be worth charging $250 more a night.

[Liz]

Cottontail, we paid just under $100 per night last June at Coronado Springs with a Disney VISA code last year. That price was including tax. I'd love for something like that again!

[goodferry]

Last Feb. the discounts for Disney Visa card holders came out. The general public codes didn't come out until March. If I remember correctly, we were all terribly anxious and convinced that no codes would be released then too!

[Clare]

I feel absolutely ridiculous for spending so much time obsessing about this! But.....our potential May trip was just sort of a wild idea so if we don't get a discount on a room, we probably won't go at this time.

And....I REALLY want to go!!! Here's hoping!

[westjones]

I agree, LauraAnn! I had never stayed at a Value resort before this past September, and now that I have, I don't know why we ever paid so much money at the other places.

If you can get a Mod for $89 a night, those are pretty nice. I have stayed at the value resorts and they are fine too, but I do see why the Moderates may be more appealing than the Value resorts. But the Deluxes are way too pricey (although we are DVC members, so we do stay at Deluxe when I am not out of points).

DJ

[ciera321]

[QUOTE=cottontail]Hi:

Does anyone remember how much the moderates were with a code last year in may/june.

[JayCT]

memorymakers - Codes for Disney Visa customers were released starting February 20th according to mousesavers.com. That is what I remember because we were booking for a trip in May. I believe that the March 9th release were codes for anyone. Jay

[Honeibee]

:rolleyes1

Waiting, waiting, waiting......

Need A Code! June 1-7 :banana: :

[areno79]

Anyone know what the non-AP holders discounts were last year?

[javaj]

General codes for 4/18/04 to 7/4/04 were also released on 3/9 last year. This is from my notes:
• Value Resorts - $74 standard, $84 preferred view

Anyone know what the non-AP holders discounts were last year?

[cstraub]

I remember from 2004 that I booked our June trip after we got home from our Disney Spring Break trip on April 3rd. I must have booked it in mid April and I really had a great selection to choose from at far as the Resorts go. We booked 2 one week stays with no problem. I wonder how long the codes had been out? I just got lucky because up until summer of 2004 I didn't know there were codes. Also, I have noticed that Expedia usually reflects the codes WDW is offering if you know the right dates. We booked our stay at the Contemoprary this last Christmas through Expedia at a better rate then Disney was offering with the code. The discount ended on Dec. 25th, 2004. If you put Dec. 26th in the search engine on Expedia it did not have a great rate but if you put in Dec 25th it was fantastic just like the code discount. I check rates on Expedia everyday. Have booked through them twice even when WDW is offering general public dicount rates and Annual Passholder rates.
COme on codes!! I want to know what exciting resort we will be staying in June!!

[MemoryMakers2669]

I agree, LauraAnn! I had never stayed at a Value resort before this past September, and now that I have, I don't know why we ever paid so much money at the other places. .

I feel the same way. Mind you I haven't spent a lot ($119 for AKL), like others do. We went to POR the first time, then did the last two nights at AKL, as I HAD to stay there. The last two times there that is where we have stayed. We felt we couldn't stay anywhere else, we loved it so much. But, we did All Star Movies last month and really really liked it. The room was fine for us and the theming is fun! We will do a value over a moderate anyday. Not saying we won't go back to AKL of course, but the values are great IMO! I will NEVER pay for any of the other Deluxe resorts!

[MemoryMakers2669]

Last Feb. the discounts for Disney Visa card holders came out. The general public codes didn't come out until March. If I remember correctly, we were all terribly anxious and convinced that no codes would be released then too!

Of course we might all be Disney Visa holders here, so if they come out with them this year, we will all be in good shape. But for those that aren't, they will most likely be waiting until early March. The Historical Trends chart has good odds for that late a date....but of course anything is possible! I too am waiting for them, but really need the AP rates.

[MemoryMakers2669]

[QUOTE=cottontail]Hi:

Does anyone remember how much the moderates were with a code last year in may/june.

This is what I have for AP codes last year.... :cool1:

WDW Annual Passholders can get special discounted rates for check-ins 4/18/04-7/4/04. So far the following rate has been reported:
• Value Resorts - $59

WooHoo, just what I wanted to see....$59! We have $59 right now, with an email pin that was my friends. She wants to upgrade to a package though and they will only let her and her family do that, and in turn knock us off the reservation all together. So, we will be rebooking under AP rates if we can. Glad it is the same!

[MemoryMakers2669]

memorymakers - Codes for Disney Visa customers were released starting February 20th according to mousesavers.com. That is what I remember because we were booking for a trip in May. I believe that the March 9th release were codes for anyone. Jay


Jay, I tend to focus on the "available to anyone" codes when posting about this...as most are "anyone". How many on here are Disney Visa holders??

[fun & fancy free]

I'm with you guys. We have ressies for WL(hoping for a code) if no discount is to be had we will stay value. We can afford moderate but they are way to spread out for us and for the amount of time we are in the room the value is just fine.

:wave: :wave2: princess: princess:

I'm staying at a moderate CBR for the first time. I have only done deluxe but after your comment I"m a little nervous. Is CBR spread out that much? I have looked at the map and read that it is a short walk to everythin within the resort. I would have thought a value would be worse. What am I missing?

[fun & fancy free]

We stayed at CBr last May. It really depends where your room is. We were in South Trinidad and it was not a short walk at all. My dd's (3&5) did not enjoy the resort at all. After walking all day I couldn't expect them to walk some more. For example there is an internal bus for CBR to take you to other parts of the resort. They don't have internal buses at All Stars. When we were at ASmovies our room was very convienent to food, main pool and buses. The room was a little smaller but we were not in it enough for it to be a problem. Our choice on a deluxe is closer to the MK(fav park). I don't mean to scare you we are just the type of family that perfers things closer and not as much grounds inbetween. My dd's are still asking why we can't go back to that 1st resort(AS Mov). :wave: :wave2: princess: princess:

[Kritlyn]

How good is the Disney Visa discount? I have heard the AP passholder discounts up to 40 % but it is probably not worth it for me to get the passholder. I'm thinking of signing up for the Visa - is it worth it for me?

[crazy4wdw]

Disney Visa has not offered any WDW resort discounts in quite some time. I believe the last offer was for summer 2004. I called as soon as the discounts were available and was never able to obtain one for May '04.

[westjones]

In our last Disney Visa statement they had a 'deal' for a 2 bedroom at the Disney Hilton Head resort. I called the next day and they didn't have any available for the dates I wanted (even though I had just gotten the ad 24 hours earlier).

So that ended up not being such a great deal after all.
DJ

[timandlesley]

I called today to see how much it would be to bump our MYW package stay from POP to WL, it was over 900 dollars, OUCH! (for a six night stay). For us, we are on a tight budget that is way too much. I told the CM, "I'll just keep it at POP and hope codes come out soon", hoping he would say something, but he didn't, he was very nice too, but gave no indication of codes coming out shortly. I'm dying here, they better come!

Lesley

[Lori-n-NY]

I really hope someone gets a heads up soon. I'm not sure how many more days I can take the thought of going to work and missing the AP codes being released. I am sure many of you are in the same boat. The current ap codes were released on 12/27 for stays of 2/17-4/16.

And with all the pin/email/postcards they have sent out you would think the release of codes to the AP holders would be soon to follow.
Or a general public code would do. I just need a sign that they are coming...after getting the heat/electric bill yesterday I need something to cheer me up.

So heres some dancing a pixie dust throwing to help the DIsney people get on the ball and let us know when they are coming. :dancer: :dancer:

I am thinking positive, I will get a discount, I will get a discount, I will get a discount, I will get a discount, I will get a discount, I will get a discount, I will get a discount, I will get a discount. :wizard:

I am so positive that I now need your help in deciding between AK or WL? I currently have a reservation at CSR at the rack rate of $149.00 per night for 9 nights. Really would like to pay no more then $104.00 per night and I would be willing to change resorts to POR or POFQ, Really would have to think long and hard about CBR but would jump on it if I got a rate of $94.00 per night. I just would really like to be prepared in case I am given the option of a discount room at AK or WL for less then or equal to what I have already booked at CSR. I really don’t find the rooms in either that appealing; they look dark and somewhat drab to me. I would book a standard view so the animals will not be a factor. I originally thought that I would prefer the WL because of the location, boat ride to MK right? If the discounted rate difference is only $19.00 between a moderate and those two I think it would be a no brainer. I think I have heard that you can occasionally get those two for $123.00, if so and the moderate is only $94.00 my decision gets a little harder. I know it is only $29.00 a night more but I don’t know if the $261.00 will be worth it. :confused3

I would welcome any opinions on the subject so that I am better able to make a decision. Since I know we will all get a discount I would like to be prepared with an immediate answer if given the choices listed above.

[Tron72]

Well, hello all my fellow Disney Friends who are waiting for the AP rates for Late April and beyond. I personally are waiting for MAY, as I and the rest of my family are heading up in May. From May 13 through the 21. We are planning a Grand Gathering. We are all living in Florida, so we only have to drive up to Walt's Magic Place. I have 4 rooms booked at the Wilderness Lodge. Its my favorite, as a history student of early America and Native American history. So, I like everyone else am waiting for those discounted rates. I have been saving each week for a year to cover the rack rate, and figured if the discount comes in I should have nearly a 1,000 to use as Disney FUN Money. I have my Seasonal Passes aready, and I only have to wait for my 90s out so I can order my Grand Gathering Events, as well as, priority seating dining. I just can't Wait. As I am sure everyone else here is.

Based on last year, I believe that with the Available to the Public - Room Only Code - the standard rooms at Mods were $94 and the Water/King/Preferred type rooms were $104. I *think* AKL/WL were probably more like $150? I remember it was quite a difference. For some comparison - currently the email/postcard rates I've gotten for May look like this:
Mod Standard $79
Mod King/Water/Preferred: $95
WL Standard: $124
WL Woods: $137
WL Courtyard: $156.

So it would seem - add about $15-20 to each of those, and that'd be about what they may be with a Public code???

[MemoryMakers2669]

I'm with you guys. We have ressies for WL(hoping for a code) if no discount is to be had we will stay value. We can afford moderate but they are way to spread out for us and for the amount of time we are in the room the value is just fine.

:wave: :wave2: princess: princess:

ITA! Having stayed at both levels, we will never pay the extra for a moderate again over a value. I just don't see the reason to. They are way too spread out. The first time we were at POR, it rained and I mean POURED rain all week we were there. So, going to the main building was horrible, as of course we were about as far as we could get from it.

[kutchyone]

Thanks Blonde. Oh well, I'm still gonna be prepared for the GREAT deal that we all we be able to get because of those discounts. If I can't get a moderate discount but I can get a disocunt at $149.00 a night at WL or AK the decision will be easy. Who am I kidding, Disney never makes the decisions easy.

AK or WL, pro's and con's please?

Good mind set, wish I had it. I don't care for the value resorts at all. It just appears to be so congested and closed in. I know the rooms are not that much bigger, maybe it's the lack of tranquility at the value resort that the décor and theming that the moderate provide. I need that restful ambiance, especially at POFQ after a long day in the park.

We stayed POFQ last year and found it to be wonderful. Can't compare to Value though, haven't done that - I'm a very picky person about hotel rooms, and I don't know if I'll every be able to do Value. Maybe.... Pop but, DH & I agree pretty much that the room is pretty important. Also POFQ is one of the smaller resorts on property. It's not spread out at all.

[kutchyone]

Have to agree with you. Wanted to try out a new place that's why we have reservations at CSR. Loved the BWV 2 bedroom the year we were able to get 40% off a value season rate split between my parent and us. The values are really noisy too. They probably are not any more noisy then the moderate but because my sences are overloaded it appears to be. My husband gave a fast thumbs down to the value resorts when I showed him the pictures of the resorts and their rooms, even Pop, which is the only one that I would consider.

[bubba's mom]

I'm another who only needs a bed and a shower...so values are great for us!! We spend so much time at the parks and such, we are only at the room to sleep (maybe catch a quick swim before bed). I think if you spend a week or more at Disney and are doing the "relaxing" thing, you will spend more time in your room/at resort, therefore, the mods are more your speed. To each his own!! :rolleyes1 While keeping tabs on this thread, reading thru the posts, am I to understand certain resorts have waterbeds???? Uh-oh, that could be trouble...we sleep in a waterbed at home, making other beds on vacations rather uncomfortable for me/us. Now you have my attention :listen: ........What resorts have waterbeds??? :banana: :banana: :banana:

[MrsJackSparrow]

:wave2: Just woundering if you book a room(lets say AK) and you are not a AP member, when the codes for AP does come out can you buy the AP and then apply the codes? Or do you have to be a AP first and then, use the codes? I know the is general public discount codes but it sounds like Annual Passholders get the first heads up on the codes.

[jns]

phoned to day still no codes

Hurry up please

[fun & fancy free]

You only have to have your AP to check in not to make ressie's. I have a voucher which we will activate once we get there.

We felt this way too and thought we couldn't stay anywhere else but AKL. With our short weekend trip last month, we stayed value since it was a value kinda weekend. We were pleasantly surprised that we had no issues with it and now know that if going to Disney sooner and more often means staying value...we are all for it. Really didn't think we would be. Same with cruising, we HAVE to have a balcony cabin, never stayed inside, don't think we could. But maybe we can!

that is what we are thinking of doing if we get a good discount mod POR half the stay and the AK/ WL second half

My husband would kill me if we moved resorts. Once we get set up, fridge stocked, cooler stocked, hamper for dirty laundry in place he doesn't want to mess with packing it all up. I wouldn't mind it though and the next trip when it is the daughter and I we will probably do that.

I think that I have decided on sticking with a moderate, you have the coffee pot and fridge now in the room at no additional charge, they don't have that at AK or WL yet do that?

I'll have to keep that in mind! Maybe one day. We are going to try WL this trip. Our honeymoon was my DH's first cruise. Not only did we have a balcony, we essentially had a mini-suite (Cat 9A on Carnival). We've been thinking about a cruise and trying to afford it by thinking about an inside cabin! I think I could do it because it'd be worth it just to be on a cruise!

[cdnmickeylover]

Just got back but am now looking for codes to go back yet again. We have AP's and they are already calling. We stayed at Pop this last trip and found that it was great so have no problem staying value if the price is right!

[kutchyone]

You mean your DH would actually HELP you pack everything up? Count your blessings!!!
Sure he would but he would be packing me in the suitcase along with all of our stuff. No way would he pack up to move to another hotel.

[froggie]

Hi, I'm not an ap but I was woundering if you could get the ap discount at the same time as signing up for the AP. I would us the general public discount codes if they come out but it sounds like the Ap's get first pick,if so I will sign up to get the great discount. I think it's worth it. thanks

[speedyf]

You do not need to purchase the AP to reserve a room with an AP code.

You do need to have the Annual Pass or at least the Annual Pass voucher to check into the hotel. The front desk will usually require that you show at least the voucher or maybe the activated annual pass at check-in.

If you do not produce the voucher or annual pass, you will be charged rack rate for the room.

To add to this....last year, I booked at the AAA rate at Pop Century. I was able to lock in $85 per night in late May....(basically 15% off the regular $99 rack rate).

I WAS NOT a member of AAA when I called for the reservation. I was planning on signing up with AAA for the $50 membership fee if no other codes were released.

Well....Disney Visa released a code for $69 per night at the Value Resorts. I was able to switch my reservation to that code....so, I no longer needed to join AAA.

The AP rate for a value resort was also released at $59 per night. It would have cost me $150 more to upgrade to an annual pass. The savings would have been $10 per night over 7 nights ($69 Disney Visa Rate vs $59 Annual Pass Rate)....$70.

It was definitely not worth paying $150 to save $70....(duh!)....so, we stayed with the $69 room rate.

So....you do not need to have an AP or a AAA membership when you make the reservation....but, you are required to show your AP, voucher, or AAA membership card upon check-in to keep your low rate.

kutchyone,

They do have coffee pots and fridges at AKL and WL now. All deluxe and moderate resorts are to have these in the rooms, free of charge.

[pamlet]

I called and book our 12 days!! He said the codes will not be out till March. Thats what I remember from last year. I remember it being real close to Easter.

Last year it was early March. We were going to go last year - and I did some research and found that it was early March that the codes came out.

We ended up not going... I've planned... even started paying on trips at least 5 times now and EVERY time something has happened... :guilty:

SO - this year we have a week off site at my SIL timeshare... so it's looking pretty positive - tho' I must say if codes come out... AND we have the money there's a SLIM chance I'll finally get to stay onsite.. laugh...

Here's waiting for March! :cheer2:

Depends on your Dining and if you will be back again within a year. With 10% off at most places, you could easily save that extra $80 in food alone.

[cdnmickeylover]

Depends on your Dining and if you will be back again within a year. With 10% off at most places, you could easily save that extra $80 in food alone.

This year AP holders are also entitled to join DDE which saves you 20% at all meals at most sit down places and the food courts at the value resorts. Yes it costs $50/year to join using the AP discount but we saved that and more on this past trip. AP's are a good value if you plan to go more than once a year.

[tmq2766]

It is soooo good to hear all the positive responses about Value hotels.... I was actually kinda scared..... I am surpriseing DD10 with a trip 3/21-3/24 I decided this kinda last minute.... We just got back in December and wanted to be able to use my AP at least one more time before they expire in this December. Since it was last minute I was lucky enough to snag 3 nights at All Star Sports. We have stayed at POR twice CBR once and AKL twice so this will be a whole new experience for us.... Considering we are hardly ever in the room I figured why spend extra if I didn't have to.

TigrLvsPooh, yes the weather is wonderful, right now. However, knowing Indiana weather as I do, I am sure that Mother Nature is storing up at least one last big shot at us before Spring finally springs. LOL

We got a bit over two feet in the December storm. (still digging my way out from that one) grin

BTW, I live about 45 minutes south of Indianapolis. Where might you hail from?

I think this has been the worst winter I've seen in years. We are about an hour north of Indy and have already suffered two ice storms and several "snow days". These warmer temps haven't really seemed that nice yet because of all the rain and melting snow mess. :( Our yard is a big sloppy mud hole. :sad2:

My husband received a postcard last night. It was really just an ad for the MYW package but I was hoping... So I called... No AP. Nothing. She did pull up my info in the beginning, so I assume if there was any discount attached to my name it would have shown up, right?? Also, the postcard was in my husband's name, not mine (different last names) would this have made a difference??

I really want to stay at the poly. But not at rack rates!!

We are doing spring break in less than a month, and I got a fairly good rate at Carribean Beach for that trip ($114 a night). But I am going back in July to a DVC room and want to add on three nights. Hoping for Wilderness Lodge or AKL -- but if there's no codes, back to the Moderates I go. I am watching for June codes as a sign of hope that JULY codes will come! :confused3

[tmq2766]

Would you drive there for a weekend and if so can you pick me up!!!? :wave2:


I'm in Ohio. :moped: :moped: :moped: :moped: :moped: :moped:

Just wanted to pop in and say hello! We are just south of Indy in Greenwood!

Hi Hoosiers! We are in Muncie! We suffered from the ice storm in January with no electricity (no heat). It was something! June sounds so far away, but it gives us something to look forward to!

Another Hoosier here......we are in Columbus!!

I'm also ready for warmer weather!! Spring can't get here soon enough. At times, I feel like I'm wishing my life away!! :hourglass

Hey: Debbiedoo

Where do you guys get those nice flashing tinkerbells?

We here in ONtario have had a heck of a winter as well. Ready for spring or a spring trip to wdw.lol.

LOL! Small world! I'm a Girl Scout Leader, so I am out at Daleville for scout stuff all the time.

I hope the codes come out soon. We want to try CBR, but not without a code. The idea of being at a 'beach' sounds SO good right now!

[SlightlyGoofy]

How wonderful to stumble upon a group of Hoosiers. Even though I am a former Buckeye I have lived in Indiana longer now so I consider myself legal. LOL

Howdy Colleen! Glad to see that you are day dreaming of another Disney vacation as well. My little guy will be here in a bit and we plan to watch the Disney Planning DVD together. He is to pick out his favorite attractions. I believe I might be in a bit of a jam as he has already asked about what happens if he likes them all. Told him he would not have time to see them in all in the days he and his family will be there but he has decided that since grandma stays for a 'month' he will just hang out with us until we get home. LOL Always did say the kid was one smart cookie.

twinscandc, the next time that Colleen and I get together you will have to join us. I live just outside Columbus, "Hope fully" you have heard of it. LOL

dreams4disney, I go to Greenwood all the time. I love Deals and the second run movie theater there. I save my money for the important things in life, AP's. :earboy2:

TigrLvsPooh, the Hills of Brown generally shelter us. The December storm was quite unusual and has, so far, been the only real snow we have had. Would have been better if it had been scattered out a bit over time but we dealt with it. Lots of rain here but since we were not affected by any flooding it was alright. Have had too many household renovations to work on to mind being housebound too much.

Hello to all you other fellow Hoosiers. We ought to have a get together sometime. I went to one in Indpls a few years back and met Dan Murphy, Nativetxn and a few others. I say we plan a DW meet. - and SOON!!

I had to jump in this thread! We live about 15 min. from TigrLvsPooh. However, we have only lived in Indiana for 8 years. We both grew up in Illinois. So, we are among the few that cheer for the Illini! :cheer2: We're looking forward to our next trip in May! :cool1:

Add me to the Hoosier list. I live in Lake Station - not too far from Bimmy56. My daughter lives in Bloomington and I work for Indiana UniversityNW. Our next trip is Sept/Oct and we've booked AAA rates for POP & AKL, though hoping for a wonderful code.

[DaddyBeast]

I talked to a helpful CM tonight who said to try again next Wed for AP rates (he was guessing).

My guess would also be Wed or Thurs based on the change of "seasons".

[cdpa4d]

TigrLvsPooh
It looks like we will be at the Poly at the same time this April. Me, my DW, and DD will be checking-in on April 26 for 6 nights. Maybe we'll bump into you. It looks like you have a great fam. Here's hoping for AP or some other rates/codes.

[keddy]

I just made DF call CRO twice. Once I had him call using our existing reservation for May and I wanted the cm to look and see if a code was attched to his name (I signed him up for the planning video a couple of weeks ago) and she would not do it. I then had him call back and act like he wanted to book a room in his name(all past ressies have been in my name), She gave him rack rates and when he asked about codes she told him to call back next week. She also asked for his info (including email address) and told him to check his email b/c they have been sending discounts out to AP holders according to when they bought their passes?!?!? I give up..hopefully from what she told me and what others have been told the waiting game will be over next week!

We can only hope!!! Last year I think it was around the first or second week of March. Patience and flexibility as far as where you want to stay has always worked for me. We are hoping for the Poly or GF!!!

Questions on codes...I have CBR perferred room booked at rack rate.I tried did not have a AAA card then when I called back for our perferred room AAA was no longer available. I do want perferred secondary to my young kids and my mom's preference so if codes do come out will I be able to even use them if perferred is already booked. I am still hoping for code for the Broardwalk Inn.

Here is to waiting.

If there aren't any rooms available, a code cannot be applied to an existing reservation. A room has to be available in order for a code to be "applied". That is why so many of us are saying only book what you would be willing to pay, otherwise Disney will have no reason to discount any rooms if they are all booked at rack rate.

[SRUAlmn]

I was just on the phone with CRO and I asked about general public codes for the summer. He said they usually come out at the beginning of the season prior. He said that peak season begins on 2/17/05, so the summer codes should be out somewhere at the end of Feb or beginning of March :) I guess we pretty much already knew that, but I just wanted to update everyone straight from the horse's mouth :earboy2:

I tried for AAA rate for July 18th yesterday and couldn't get it for ASMo...I will keep calling back to check though. I did book it for rack rate though, because we can stay a bit longer if we split our stay between ASMo and WL.
Still hoping for room only codes!!!!! :banana:

[mar915]

AAA rate for CBR was available for other rooms just not perferred rooms. It was June 11-18th. Anyone else know the answer to my question above if codes do come out can you apply them if the perferred rooms are already sold out but you have one already.

Mary

Add us to the waiting list as well.
Staying at CR in July.

[spalma]

HI all. We are planning on going June4th for 6 nights. I am also waiting on codes! If we go ahead and book CBR (Disneyworld.com has it listed for $149/nt), if codes come out and we want to switch to WL, will I be able to? I'm pretty sure that I can, but I wanted to verify with the experts! Also, is booking online at disneyworld.com o.k. to do, even if I call back with changes using the code?

Thanks for the replies!

[justhat]

I could be wrong, but I think you have to book over the phone to use a code.

[wincha]

looking for codes the week of june 5. we do have aaa however we will need 2 rooms or a suite as we have 6 people.

[fun & fancy free]

Mar915, you can apply a code to a perferred room if they are offering a code for that room. For instance you are staying at CBR. They might offer codes for bothe perferred or standard rooms or just one or the other. It is up to Disney to determine what room type and which resorts to open to the codes. That is why you should make a list of where you would like to stay. That way when you call you can ask about other resorts as well. Who knows you might end up in a deluxe for a very close rate to a moderate. I hope I explained it okay for you.

:wave: :wave2: princess: princess:

[Shells9]

I could be wrong, but I think you have to book over the phone to use a code.

I think you're right.

[westjones]

Anyone else booking 'backup' rooms? We have AAA, so I am thinking that maybe we should book at Pop Century with the AAA for the night we need a room in June, and then if and when the codes come out we can change it to CBR. I would rather just wait for the codes, but I am starting to wonder if there will be codes, and I didn't realize that the AAA rate rooms would fill up also.

Anyone else doing this?
DJ

[OhMickey]

I'm looking into off site hotels as a backup. Two out of our 4 children are now considered adults and we cannot swing paying rack rate - even at the value resorts. I'm hoping that a code comes out soon and so we won't have to go off site.

[mar915]

I am there with you I have CBR hoping for BWI

Mary :cool1:

[Bronte]

We are Hossiers waiting for codes too :hourglass ... Add us to those living in Danville ... We just love Disney ... :love: :love: :love:

[minijeanie]

talked with sweet cm yesterday. she said codes will not be out until March.

I tried to get poly garden view with AAA-not available
tried to get poly concierge AAA rate -not available
cont. concierge AAA gone as well.

I missed the boat, should of booked AAA as backup

I don't want to stay at AK, and grand floridian is to $$$ for me. Want to stay on rails though...
think I am going to keep calling back hoping someone cancels

Did you try getting GF at AAA discount. It might be cheaper than paying full rate at one of the other monorail hotels. We have AAA rate for GF lagoon view. Still hopping for AP rates though.

[LauraAnn630]

I was also told codes will not be out till March. The CM recomended we make our reservations because they are filling up fast! Im afraid to wait any longer and have to pay more for our room elsewhere. Im going to have to add 5 more nights onto our 6 nights deal before its to late.

[Goofy41]

I hope they comeout a little sooner. I made my reservations already and hope to apply the code so we can stay a little longer even if we have to switch hotels.

[Liz]

If rooms are filling up fast why would they offer codes at all? That's what worries me! :confused3

[kutchyone]

That's right, they won't offer a discount if they don't need to.

[westjones]

OK, I just got chicken about waiting so I reserved a room at Pop Century for June 17th and they did still have the AAA rate left (with tax it will be a little less than $100). If the codes come out, we will move up to the CBR, but at least I know I have a room when I arrive.

Now I feel better. :)
DJ

[Liz]

I'm hoping even though some rooms are filling up, maybe its the lower end like values & mods, and maybe they'll offer codes to encourage people to upgrade and free up more of the lower end rooms. I don't know, just hoping for something!!! We weren't even able to secure AAA rooms so I'm not real happy paying $110 per night for POP! We have two rooms (two families) for 8 nights so that's quite a chunk of money!

Did you try for AAA rates at the other Value Resorts? My cost (with the AAA) for June 17th at Pop Centuray is $84 plus tax (total $94). It would probably be the same at the All Stars if they have the AAA rate available. It might be worth a try.

DJ

[DisneyFlower]

Looking for codes for May 23 to June 3

[mamapajama]

" When I called last night, the CM told me there were no codes or anything attached to names past 4/16 dates."

My co-worker got postcard for mid-april thru July. Sweet thing's never been to Disney and has no knowledge of all things Mouse so she brought me the postcard. She thought I could use it! How I wish!!

Elise

[mamapajama]

What I would like to know is if you call & ask if there is any code for your name and there is.....why are you not actually getting the e-mail or the postcard? Are you supposed to figure it out by mental telepathy? Why put a code to someone's name and not let them know. It doesn't make sense.

Elise

[speedyf]

The only thing I can see is that Disney would maybe have a wrong/old address or e-mail address.

If Disney would put a code attached to your name, but have your e-mail address wrong in their system....you would never receive the e-mail.

Another reason would be if you have some sort of spam filter. My local ISP uses Postini to filter spam on our accounts. If I don't go check my "spam" box, I'll never see an e-mail that Postini might think is spam....when it really isn't.

I just noticed that I received an e-mail back in September 2004 with a PIN attached to it. I just called WDW to see if I might have another PIN on my name, but no luck. My pin expired back in November 2004.

The CM was nice enough to check everyone in my party to see if any of them had a PIN. Again, no luck.

Looks like we will be booking at AAA rate. She said that ASMo is booked at AAA rate...but, PC and ASMu is available.....

Looking for codes 5/15 - 5/20 (web site is showing almost every hotel having vacancies for these dates so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!)

Come on Codes!!!! :flower:

[caribear]

We are planning a May 16th - 20th trip! I have not booked a room yet, but we are flexible as to where we stay....just as long as it is a Disney Resort. We are waiting for AP or FL resident discounts and then we will decide where to stay. Here's hoping for a little pixie dust for us all!

I agree a very long thread. I wonder if one the moderators can check and see if this is the longest code watch thread? I too check in on a regular basis.

i already have my room at AKL at a nice price- with code- but now my bro in law is coming - family of 4. i called yesterday, cheapest they had was $239 nite for pool view. i'm much less than that for savannah view!

any suggestions/ ideas??

[Minnie&Nana]

I would call and check with CRO about your code -sometimes you can book more than one room with your code. Would to be same dates etc.

If that code does not allow more than one room, if he has AAA they could check out their prices.

Good luck!

Hold on a few more weeks. Many seem to think that codes could come out by the first week of March. I am hoping that is true because I would love to move from the Pop Century to the CBR.

If codes don't come out, have you tried AAA rates (that is what I used at PC and it helped a little). Also, you could try CSR. That isn't too far from AK. Or you could have them try one of the value resorts and then just meet up each day.

I hope it works out for you. AKL is a beautiful resort. I hope we get to stay there again one day.

DJ

[eddieras]

thanks for the replies!
i did try my code, but they told me there were no more rooms available at that rate! too bad - savannah for $166!
AAA was only 10% - and the rate for savannah is 320 ouch :headache:

i'll still keep my eyes/ears open for discounts! thanks!

[caribear]

I just called CRO to switch around a reservation I have for next week and asked about May codes. I was told "They will be out soon, but are not out yet." Let's hope the wait will be over soon!

[dcibrando]

HAPPY DANCE!! WOO HOO! :cool1: :banana: :Pinkbounc :cheer2: :bounce:

[Clare]

That is great news - even the possibility is making my day!

[Smee]

Yup,...just hung up with CRO and made June ressies.
CM said to start checking back "probably later next week" to see if there are AP rates!!!!! :banana: :cheer2: :banana:

[mamapajama]

Well, every time I've made a ressie they always tell me what they have for my e-mail & I always get the snail mail from them. I have gotten other e-mail from Disney but not postcard e-mail. PLus I got a survey postcard to my home so they have the right addy. GRRR!!!

Oh well! Just gotta hope for the AP codes. Probably will stay at POFQ with AAA but was hoping for WL.

Elise

[treehugger]

Just to let you guys know that I sympathize with your quandry! I myself am a recovering code watcher, but since I purchased DVC I don't need them. I have not read the entire thread, so forgive me if the following has been mentioned:

The biggest tip I can give you is for someone (not everyone) to call after 8:30 PM EST everynight until codes are released. On three occasions I was able to get the code before they were officially released the next day. I believe the system is updated and some (not all) computers will show the codes. It is important though that you get a savvy CM who will take the time to look! I think some are so tired of people calling that they automatically say they are not released.

Good luck to everyone, I kinda miss this exitement!

[kwdietrich1]

The day before room only codes are released I always receive an email from Disney for Annual passholders giving them advance notice of AP codes and the privlege to book 1 day earlier than the release day of room only codes. So far no email from Disney. The email arrives in my inbox at 6:59 am on the dot and has for the last three release dates!

I'll post as soon as I receive and email from Disney.

I received emails twice from Disney one day prior to them releasing the AP discounts. Nothing yet...

[dreams4disney]

I have an AP and I do not get emails. Is it because of when the voucher was/is turned in to activate the AP? I guess you have to Activate it before you can get emails or the news letter right? When I bought it the CM told me I would get a news letter in Feb. and would get updates by email. I have not seen anything yet. I bought it In December and have not activated it yet because our trip is not till June.

We have zoomtown as our internet service provider. It is a local ISP here in Cincinnati. I've always gotten the AP codes a day early through Disney.
