October 2013 Code Watch?!

[woodkins]

It's official...we are heading to the Poly Oct. 23rd! I booked the resort through Magical Vacations travel and was able to get a great rate on CL at the Poly.

This morning checked Southwest and was able to get $92 each way out of Long Island, so I clicked buy & we are all set!

We booked with Magical Vacations for Poly CL for Oct 26th, so I'm curious how you were able to get a check-in of Oct 23rd. I'd actually prefer the previous week, but I thought the only deals they had in late October started on Oct 26th.
Thanks for the info.

Just got back from the World late last night, had a bounce back in our room for 35% off Deluxe and Deluxe Villas as well as 30% off Moderates. Used it to book for October. Now to wait for free dining and re-price. When its just us 3 the room discount is way better but this time it's the bigger family trip with 6 of us going so not sure which will price out better?

Do you recall what moderates and Deluxes were included?

we have DVC booked for October but would bite on FDP (and bank my points) as long as we could still hold the tix for future usage...missed it by one day last year.

AP offers not out for our june trip yet!

disney seems to be dragging their heels releasing codes based upon prior years

Thanks! I think we are looking at the week starting the 20th. Hotel prices go down starting the 20th so I am hoping that is a good indicator.

The RO BB dates for 2013 are Oct20- Nov 2 and FD in2012 were 10/19-11/01

So I am looking at going during theses dates too in hopes of some kind od discount

We are hoping to go Oct 18-27 this year. I hope free dining is offered during that time again. Last year the 19th was a Friday, so hoping that Friday the 18th will be covered this year. If they even offer it, that is.

I have a question on booking a room now and then waiting for a discount. Now that we have airfare booked I would like to have some room reservation booked. I am thinking of trying to book a room only reservation with hopefully at least a AAA discount. If free dining comes out I know that I can rebook as long as their are rooms available under the discount. What happens if then they release a room only discount and I want to switch from free dining to the room only? It would be ok as long as they have availability under the room only discount?

If you have a package and then a room only discount comes out, I'm pretty sure you have to cancel the package and book the room only as a new reservation. Assuming you're not inside of your package cancellation date. And, of course, assuming availability. Do you have a particular resort/room in mind? Because it's that availability that's killer. There were some great deals the past couple years, if you're flexible on where you stay.

A room only offer can be applied to an existing package. The discount would only be applicable to the room portion. If you wanted to to drop the tickets to go strictly to a room only stay, then it would have to be cancelled and booked accordingly.

The bounce back did not list all the mods and deluxe resorts you just had to call for quotes, our first choice was SS Treehouses, those were all sold for that discount but then tried AK got 2 rooms at 35% off. Our dates are Oct 20 thru Oct 25. We will wait and book our first 2 nights Oct 18 and 19 at AOA later when hopefully more discounts are added. This is the first year we will actually be able to go during my sons fall break. I am in retail management and until this year my company began holiday PTO blackout October 1st (strange, I know). But they changed it so now blackout begins Nov 1st. This works great for us, we get food and wine, mnsshp, cooler weather, lower crowds and a needed break before holiday madness begins! Seems like Disney is holding back a bit this year with discount releases????

Thanks! I booked the BWI with a AAA discount for Oct 22-27th. It was a 15% discount. Better than nothing for now. I figured BWI would probably get booked up since it is during F&W. I just did a room only for now.

Don't know why that is maybe different resorts or deals? We are a room only res. actually checking in on the 24th. I used Kristin from Magical Vacations, so you can try contacting her to see if she can get you the same deal.

We booked our October 17-21 stay at AoA. Since i already booked if there is a room discount or free meal plans will I be able to apply this to my reservation? I have only paid the deposit so far.

Yes if any discounts come out for AOA you can call and ask they be added, at least that has always been our experience..

We booked our trip for Oct 30- Nov 4! We booked the room and a dining plan and have paid the deposit. I was wondering if I should cancel our dining plan and wait to see if FD is offered, or would I still be able to apply the FD to our reservation and use the overage at that time to extend our stay??
