January 2013 Discounts

[loveshak22]

I had to switch from POFQ to POR and do a Royal room, but still saved over $400 for our 6 night stay (we also have DxDDP and parkhoppers.)

I can't believe it worked!

Was POFQ excluded from the offer?

Haha. Then I totally just scammed it because I got it!

Here's what I did:

• Logged in to my existing January package reservation online
• Clicked on the "apply" ad for the Disney Visa
• Applied and was instantly approved
• If you're instantly approved, you can book / pay for a reservation for WDW even without the card in hand so...
• I went back in to my reservation and clicked to make a payment toward my balance
• Made sure to select the new Disney Visa as my payment method
• I made a $200 payment (essentially re-making the deposit)
• Called in, the CM could see the $200 payment on the Disney Visa and was able to apply the promo
• Woo hoo!

I had to switch from POFQ to POR and do a Royal room, but still saved over $400 for our 6 night stay (we also have DxDDP and parkhoppers.)

I can't believe it worked!

Thank you! It worked for me too! I am on hold with Disney now trying to apply it. Remember to be logged in before you apply.

I just spent about 30 minutes on the phone with a CM (Diamond). She was very helpful. Unfortunately (or fortunately) we are arriving 12/31. The discount starts on stays starting 1/2. She tried to "split stay" our reservation but it was going to cost more and be more hassle. We are staying at AOA in LM room. However, if a free dining (fingers crossed) comes out soon I will be happy to move to a different resort. Does anyone know about splitting only the FD. i.e. if we arrive on 12/31...can our free dining kick in on 1/2 for the rest of our stay? Thanks for the help.

I don't know... it seems others are getting the deal at POFQ. I didn't even try. We are traveling with another family and they called earlier to apply the promo. The CM they spoke with said no-go on FQ so they moved over to POR. Since they moved over there, we wanted to as well.

Glad to be of service!

We got about $800 of Wilderness Lodge for late January-early February. 8 nights, 9 days, deluxe dining (1 ts, 1qs, 1snack), standard room. Total cost came to $4183. I figured if free dining comes out, I will save about another $300.

Thanks for the tip about applying online for disney VISA and applying the $200 payment online right away. I was shocked it worked. She did ask me for the credit card # for verification and since I did not have it, she had to talk to a manager for approval. He/she said it was fine since I had to log into my account to do it.

Thanks everyone!

POFQ is included! Just booked it 1/2-1/12.

Today's 35% off just saved our two room, 6 adult group $3000 at the Poly for the first week of February. If they eventually come out with FD, we will save another $500 by giving up the room discount on one room with 4 adults and taking FD on that room.

Nice!! How much did you save?? I can't believe I have to wait another 6 days!

 

[Disneyqueendenmark]

Wow! It seems like a pretty good offer!! Maybe not as good as FD, but almost? You folks are saving a lot of money

Uhh... Can't wait untill the 10th I'm afraid all the rooms will be gone!... Haha

Just thinking about how I'm going to do this!? I'm arriving 12/31 and have a reservation at AOA LM rooms. So I think that if I can, I will change that LM package to a RO and stay 12/31-01/02 and reserve a package at either POP, ASMo or PORFQ for 5 nights, 6 days base tickets, and thinking of the regular dining plan

Wee... Can't wait! Just wondering - will the offer be avalible for booking online 10/10?

Do they release more rooms when the general public offer comes out?

 

[Hockeychic]

Was there any black out dates in January? I am going 8 - 19th.

Thanks you!!!

 

[ILoveWD]

The dates are Jan 1 to 17 and Jan 21 to March 7.

This concern about rooms not being available by the time the offer is released to the general public- is the concern that there is a limited number of discounted rooms at each resort and the quota will be met or is the concern that resorts will fill period?

I hope so. We're wanting POR too! Hope there's lots of rooms left by the time the 10th rolls around.

My concern was solely because we are traveling with another family. They have the Visa and were able to get the deal. We want adjoining rooms so I was afraid we wouldn't be able to find two rooms together if we had to wait for the public offer.

Why not book your package now and apply the discount on the 10th?

I hope not, our current package has us arriving January 19. Plus based on the details of this deal for 2 adults and 1 child at a value resort with the Deluxe upgrade, I wont save that much. Man am I bummed.

 

[Hockeychic]

Thank you those dates work great for me. I am there till the 19th so if it can't extend no biggie it covers us for most days

I booked this online last year when it was avail to the general public so I hope I can do it again this year cause it costs me a fortune in long distance charges to wait on the phone.

Can someone please list again the codes again so I can write them down now I can't find them

Quick service and table service not sure which we want ....thank you all so much

MLK weekend is excluded and I think that's your arrival date, isn't it?
