When oh WHEN will they release the 2007 package rates. I am DYING to book. Yesterday out of desperation I booked the Swan resort from June 20-31st (10 nights) for 149 a night, great deal but we want the dining plan so it's a huge debate right now. Ohhhhh come on Disney, what is the hold up???

Lots of us have been waiting. I just changed over my room only to basic package. Couldn't tell you what it entails, it just cost me $10 more. But when the dining (hopefully) package comes out, I will not have to go thru cancelling my room only rates, they will be able to put it on my package.

I have a feeling Dining will go up to $40, and ticket prices will go up too.
 
I was told I believe last week by Disney Travel that they wont be released until mid-end of september. They claim they are trying to make the things pefect for guests, so they are making choices on what to bring back/ what to drop, and what to add also whether the cost will or will not go up. I am also waiting to finish my package ugh the wait.
 

I got my basic itenerary and it included entry into wide world of sports, or 1 mini golf per person. that might be what the 10 bucks extra for the basic came from.
 
That mini-golf promotion is a pretty good deal. When we played in january it cost us around $23 for two people. We played fantasia fairways and loved it.
 
Well. . should I go ahead and just book the room I think I want then and upgrade to a package? Is that what all of you are doing?

I wonder if they're waiting until the end of Free Dining to see how the plan needs to be changed. With so many people on the DDP at that time it'll be easier for them to see the flaws in the plan as it now exists (loopholes and all!)
 
Call Disney Travel Company and ask to book the basic package which is the room, and you get a free entery 1 for each person in your group to mini golf, or wide world of sports that's what they told me and it's on my itenarary. That way you don't have to go back cancel the room and then change to a package all you will need to do is add your park hoppers or basic tickets which ever ones you are doing and the dining plan. We are going for our Honeymoon and when I called at the start of july thinking that's when they had the 07 packages they said they did not have the full packages but I could get the basic so I grabbed it. The rooms seem to be going fast based on what they were telling me. As of today when I called they still had no idea about 07 yet, and last week it was mid-end september when the full 07 packages would be out. I have no clue what is going on and from what I was told today they don't get told anything either they just know when it hits their comps. I did get told the ddp would be back for sure as far as price they had no clue on that, but last week I was told it might be less cost but she did not want to say that for certain she said they are listening to guests and what they would like to see come back and what they would like to get rid of so they can make it perfect. I was told today that the Magic Express would be back, but she could not tell me if it would still be free or they may have a charge for it next year again she did not want to say for sure. I have so far basic package for room, and Airline tickets booked.

Magic Express is guaranteed free till 2010.

I can't believe DDP will decrease-that will be a miracle itself..

I wish WDW wouldn't leave us hanging with package prices.
 
Lostgirlz when are you going? I'm just curious for what time of the year rooms are going fast for.

We're planning a January trip and my travel agent hasn't said anything about booking a basic package just to make sure we have the rooms reserved. I didn't really think I should be concerned about January. What's everyone's opinions? This wait is killing me!!
 
We are going in Feb. When I called the Disney Travel Company said that things were going fast. You can book basic package through disney which is your room at least, then add on your other things without having to cancel the room ressies and switch to a package. I will be happy if ME is going to be free still at that time, I was just stating what the cast member had said. I seem to recall hearing this earlier in july from a different cast member also that there maybe a fee. The waiting is awful.....
 
If I reserve my rooms only, How do I change to package? Could I do the change online once the packages are release? I'm going to AKL July 8-15, 2007. I don't want to be left out!!!

Is it? I know Disney extended the agreement with the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, and that 2010 is when the airport is next able to raise the per-passenger fee they charge Disney for DME. I also saw mention in the article that Disney planned to keep the service free to their guests. I didn't read this as a guarantee that it would necessarily be free to guests until 2010, though.

I have no doubts that it will continue to be "free." ("Hidden" is probably a better term, as the costs for this are built into the room rates.) However, when it comes to Disney's rates and policies, nothing seems to be set in stone.

First, something odd is happeing with your cpu. You have left this post 4 times.

Lastly, if you want to change your room only reservation to a "package" you will need to do it by phone until the website gets updated ( and who know when that will be ). When the packages are released you could reserve one online, but you will still need to cancel your room only reservation.

A room only reservation can't be "switched" to a package. You must cancel your room only reservation and book a new package seperately. All of which is much easier to do over the phone.
