2011 Rates Released-- THIS MORNING! ON-LINE!!!

[cybrkitn]

So if you book your package for a week, you can change it once the deals come out? When do the deals normally come out?

Yes. Deals come out through-out the year. There are package deals, free dining, etc. If you have signed up at Disney's web site, there is an option to receive promotional emails. That's where I get the notifications from.

How do you find out the cost of a package with basic DDP for 2011? Their web site doesn't show any prices. My mom is thinking of using AAA for he portion of our trip next year (my brother, DH and I are part of a vacation bowling league, so part of ours is already covered).

Thanks.

I just called to ask about adding AAA discount to my package, and a CM told me tha they cannot do that, it is only for room only. She went on to volunteer however, that there should be discounts out for March by the end of the year that will be better than the AAA discount. I know CM's are not always correct, but just thought I would put what I was told out there.

You need to go thru AAA for package discounts, if you only want a room only reservation you can call Disney

But do you need to call them directly or do they have that option available on their web site? My mom does not want to learn how to use a computer (she's 64), but will ask me to look something up for her when needed. She gets the AAA magazine and saw a discount for this year which got her thinking about using AAA for her trip with us.

I just called Disney to see about applying a AAA discount to our February 2011 room-only reservation, but I was told that those rates wouldn't be available until closer to December or early January. Has anyone else been able to apply a AAA discount to a 2011 reservation yet? I just want to make sure that I was told the correct info. Thanks!

The CRO agent you got was confused. AAA discounts on 2011 room only ressies are now available. Discounts on packages will be available at the end of the year.

I'm confused ... on WDW's website it says that "Resort reservations may be booked online for check-in dates up to and including December 31, 2011" ... however, I can't book anything for Christmas week 2011 ... I keep getting a message that no rooms are available (and I have basically checked all the resorts from values to deluxes) ... has anybody else experienced this today? ... has anybody been able to book anything for Christmas week 2011 online? ... or am I just missing something or losing my mind? ... thanx for your help ...

I was getting the same exact message for my 2011 dates. I'm guessing it's a glitch on the website. There is NO WAY all these dates are booked already.

I cannot remember if it is 399 or 499 days out that you can book from. Anyhow either way xmas week 2011 is out further than both of those numbers

You will need to call either disney for a room only reservation with AAA or call AAA for a package deal

You must have got the same person i had, yes, AAA rates are out and you can have it applied, call back and have them check before they tell you that. I was able to have it applied to mine.

It may be that you can only book 499 days in advance and for Christmas day 2011, that will be August 13, 2010.

I am looking to make ressies for March 26-Ap 2, 2011 and was going to make a room only ressie. I have AAA does anyone know what the % of discount is for AAA at a Value Resort? I'm hoping that a better code or discount comes along but I want to book now so we have the room.

Thanks

I am having problems with the week before Christmas too. I think they have just not loaded the prices into the system yet. Because I know I booked the first weekend in August 2008 for our trip in Dec. 2009 (16th - 26th). So that would have been farther out too.

A lot of schools will have the full week before Christmas off next year, so they might be adjusting their rates because of it. I imagine next year the week before Christmas will be a lot busier than usual since Christmas falls on a Sunday and we get the full week off from school before Christmas.

I booked for Aug 2011 this morning!!! I checked the packages online this morning and then called Disney travel and booked!!!

I booked a suite at All Star Music for Aug. 2011 and best I can figure I got 10% AAA discount.
