Did they release Fl. Resident codes yet? YES THEY DID-I got MINE!!

[Poohbear123]

I have been on hold off and on for 2 hours, still no info! :confused3 Should I wait or keep calling? I am NOT an AP holder. :sad2: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

I just booked with an AP rate and I asked about when the FL resident rates might be out (hoping they are a bit better than the AP rate). The CM said he didn't know for sure, but that he's expecting them to come out anytime.

[DisneyWisher]

They have not posted them yet but don't worry they will. They never forget us. I've been going steady for the past 9 years and the only time I paid rack rate was for Pop's grand opening. DD19 and I went Jan 3 last minute, as I was driving through Jupiter I called and got FL resident rates for that night and the next. We go last minute often. I guess thats why I never worry about when they will post the codes. Sit tight and be patient. You might want to go ahead and reserve your room then apply the code when they come out.

[FloridaGirl]

I am hoping for some CHEAP rates!!

[Poohbear123]

Thanks, I will keep calling....

Lately they have been the same. They used to be at least $5 a night cheaper but I guess thats a thing of the past. Oh well still better than rack.

[Deweysgirl]

Just hung up after 24 minutes on hold, no Fl. resident rates yet. :sad2:

[Fokus17]

I just got the ap rate for POFQ May 27-June 2 for $109 per night, but i do hope the FL resident rates are a little lower. I wish Mary at mousesavers could tell us when they will be out.

[wildernesslodgelover]

I have ressies at POFQ May 6-8 and hoping for FL res rates, too. I am also not an AP holder, so these FL res rates are all I got!

[Poohbear123]

She asked if I was a AP holder, and I told her no, but are the Fl. Residents code out yet? She said: "Not yet, they haven't authorized us to release them as yet, but to keep calling back..." :guilty: Waaaaaaa....! :confused3 So, I will call back after 2:00pm and see, and wait, and see, and wait.... :hourglass

[mims6219]

If CBR was not available for my dates with AP discount, is there any chance there will be availability with FL discount??? Hope, Hope!!!!

Just got off the phone and nothing available at any resort in June with Ap rate :confused3 ! I tried about 50 combinations of dates even into July! CM said FL res rates are not out yet. So if anybody gets one let us know.

AP and FL resident here as well...I was able to get Pop for June 11-18 at the AP rate ($74), and while I would love a deeper discount for FL resident, I'll take the $195 and run with it!! :flower:

[mickeem]

ok, got this off the wdwmagic site....

"Discounts will be released within the next couple of days for travel dates between 4/17-7/4.
The Florida Resident code is EWZ.
The Annual Passholder code is EWY."


I have no idea if its right, or wrong, or how this person knows.... This was posted yesterday afternoon on "that other board!!"

I am so nervous now, I can't believe it. I hope there will be rooms left for us Fl. Residents! I have never known them to release the Fl. resident rates so much later than the AP. My memory isn't that good though...I'm just starting to freak out on the whole thing! :crazy:

Come on Fl. Resident codes, pleeeeeze!!!

[anewvance]

How odd they didn't release the Fl rates at the same time. I'm hoping they are a little better then ap rates cause as of right now, the Contemporary standard at AP rate is the exact same i'm paying now for the same thing in Fl rate on the 16th of April which was peak season. Even $10 would help!

[petchie]

My sister has a Grand Gathering with in laws and cannot get Caribbean beach those dates (4/17-25) either. When things settle down, maybe they will issue more.

[JuneCleaver]

Same here...I need 2 rooms at CBR for 4/19 to 4/23 and they said there is nothing at CBR! Oh well, they gave me POR and we love that resort as well!

[debbiedoo]

[Mickey Fliers]

[Poohbear123]

:sad2: I will however, call back after 7;00pm as I have used MOST of my minutes on the cell phone! :guilty: Even had to charge the battery. :crazy: I tell you what: When I get the code, there will be dancing banana's ALL over the Place!! ;)

[EEyorelover22]

I read on the other board that tomorrow they might be released. That person seems to know someone somewhere.

[Poohbear123]

I am going to call again now, will let you know....

[lillygator]

[jpeltier]

The code is EWZ and is available tomorrow

[Deweysgirl]

Oh, thank you for this good news! Does anyone know what time CRO opens Eastern time?

[BuckNaked]

[Deweysgirl]

Thank You! I concur!! :crazy:

When I called last night for the AP discount, the CM was talking to another CM in the background, and she mentioned FL resident rates were being released on 4/1. I asked her if I heard her right and she asked the other CM again, came back and said yes, they're being released 4/1. I'm not sure how reliable that information is, but I hope she's wrong and FL residents don't have to wait that long to be released. I know the waiting was driving me crazy on the AP rates.

[cra-z-4-dizney]

OK, I am not a FL resident, but just got off the phone and CM said resident codes will be out on Friday....good luck to you all!!!

[Poohbear123]

:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: Got my rate saved: $$110.00 for 4 nights! :banana: Finally got thru at 10:15 after a 45 min wait!! Got it thru the 800 # and he knew the code, so I got IT! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

[lillygator]

where are you staying and what rate did you get? (if you don't mind us nosey people)

[Poohbear123]

POP and 74.00 a night, same as AP rate! :confused3 Thought it would be less, but, oh, well I am saving 27.00 a night! :banana:

[lillygator]

I was really hoping they would be cheaper, I got AKL savannah view in May last year for $200 - oh well....I am going to call now to check prices.

[KevinFSU]

Applied FL resident discount to my existing Coronado dates. 6 nights for $836.00 for pool/lake view. Equals $139.33/night with all the taxes and stuff added in. My regular rate for a standard was at $166.13 a night. All the standard discount rooms were booked. :banana: :banana: :banana:

[lillygator]

OK I just called and booked CSR for 4 nights 5/18-5/22 for $486 total which is the 109 plus tax....I am debating whether or not to downgrade to a value....would be $334...nah....

[Poohbear123]

for 55.00 a night myself, but, being Summer and all, I am happy with the rate. :banana:

[CBCit]

I was thrilled to get AKL standard view with the FL resident rate for $139. I got really nervous when the CM told me POR was all booked for my dates,but that was my "no code" ressie,thought I would faint before he finally said AKL was available.

[Martha7]

We have the CR booked for April 2-9, with the BDP (winter) rate of $1491.00 for the seven nights. The deposit for one night was $212.97 for a wing-standard room. Should I call to see if the FL Res rate would come out any cheaper? Thanks everyone for posting their updates! :sunny:

[Poohbear123]

Couldn't hurt to try, Martha, best of Luck!

[step4now]

Rates were released yesterday...Thank God I stayed on top of this, my rates for May 5th for Contemporary and Beach Club (5 days each) dropped my total by about $1,000! If you need this rate and haven't called yet, do so right away...they don't last long!

Anyone know how restictive these rates are, though? In the past, we haven't cared much about the room location, etc, but I'm wondering if any request I make at these two resorts would be honored? Like maybe a pool view at each hotel or by some miracle a resort view?? Anyone know the best way to ask for these things? And, do they get any attention when using this special rate?

Woooowooooo!! :cool1: :banana: :cool1: :banana: :cheer2:

[Martha7]

Just updating...I called CRO this morning and checked to see if the new BEW rate could be applied for our April 2-9 stay at the CR. The agent was very nice and spent quite a bit of time checking to see if the MYW plan would save us money. It ended up coming in a few thousand dollars higher than our room only reservation! I don't think we could eat enough to make it work out, even with two teenage boys! She also said that I should just keep the winter rate (BDP) discount which I used to book the original ressie, since the BEW rate wouldn't save us any money.
Thanks everyone for posting your updates! It never hurts to check anyway!

[Poohbear123]

Thanks for the update, Martha, glad you called! ;)
