Is there ever any PINcodes, promotions, discounts, early booking discounts etc,etc, for these trips or is the price stated online is final?

I would also be interested in any advice from anyone here on this question. I look at the ranges for the price and don't see where you can even get the lowest rate price advertisized when you look at the details of dates and rates. We are a family of 4 and these prices are expensive. Any advice on how to get even a slight break on pricing would be good to understand.

There was an early booking discount a couple of years ago, but it has been discontinued. I have not heard of any PIN codes. They have, however, done promotions & discounts later on in the year, if you're willing to wait & see. They had a free 3-day cruise promotion, free iPod, discounts on certain departures, etc.

As Sayhello mentioned they had the cruise offer last year. They also sent out personal PINs this past March for quite a few initineraries and departure dates. And there was an offer for D23 members (I think it was $250 off per person). Past offers that I recall - $500 per person off airfare for certain trips and a few years ago there was an offer for a free child with paying adult. But I don't think we'll ever see anything like that again.

Any idea how you get yourself on a list for a special PIN if they opted to do tihs? I've never received any special PIN for any Disney related vacation though I've heard of folks receiving them for discounts for WDW and Disney Cruise.

Sign up for the brochure on the ABD website. ABD has one email address for me from the trips that I've taken with them, but I used a different one to sign up for the brochure last year. The PIN came to the email address I used for the brochure.

Last year when we booked our Alaska tour (that we took this past month) we were given a free 3 day cruise on DCL. Dream or Wonder. We just booked for next year a tour and we were given $200.00 "discount" than the posted price on the internet. No explaination and I'm not asking any questions. The way Disney does things is an enigma.

Icemann, We booked the Rockt Trails that takes in Glacier National Park and Banff next June. Just hope the weather will not be as rainy as what we had. Hope you are adjusting to all that sun.

Also, some travel agents offer giftcards. We booked through CostCo, which offered up to $750 in giftcards depending on the cost of the trip (we received $450 for booking for two people). I saw one AAA office that also offered an AmEx gift card, but worth less.

ABD discounts are few and far between. they will only offer something if they are desparate, at least that is the way it seemed last year

ABD use to have special promos, early bird specials, etc and they took that all away...What a shame. I'm much more likely would book more ABD trips if they gave incentives.
