2009 4/3 Rate Question

[MDKLHunter]

Hi There! As I sadly accept the fact that we cannot make a December trip happen this year, I cheerfully look to next year! However, did last year's 4/3 deal include the early April weeks of spring break or were those blacked out? December 2010 is a while away, but April isn't so far. If the code is offered again and valid, just maybe....

Thanks for any help, this is my first Disboards post, but I'm a longtime fan!


April '87, '88, '89 Spring Break bus trip from Indiana!
Sept. '05 AsMu Free Dining and first family trip!
Sept. '06 POFQ Free Dining, new baby, family is hooked!
Sept. '07 POFQ Free Dining "Where else are we going to go?"-DH
July '08 DLR/SoCal family reuntion
Dec. '10 dreaming WL hopefully!

If I remember correctly, March/April was included in the promo when the 4/3 deal was first announced in early November; however, when Disney extended the booking window later on, spring break dates were blacked out . Disney then extended the booking window again......as well as added dates to include July (even 4th of July weekend) through mid-August . I'm almost positive the deal originally included spring break because my first thought when the deal came out was that bookings must really be down for Disney to offer such a great deal during peak season .

Thanks for the hope!

The 2 weeks around Easter were listed as blacked-out from the time they extended the first promotion. However, if you called or tried to book them on the website, you could get the deal applied to all those dates.

I don't know why the discrepancy existed, but I know I was able to book it without any problems.

Who knows what they will do this coming spring, though.
