40% code rates

[brighteyes]

How long can you stay with these codes? Is there a maximum stay? And can you add the dining plan to these codes?

If I got a code, I would be able to go for two weeks!!! I am doubtful that I will receive a code though as I have only been to WDW once but am dying to go again of course.

I have AKL club level, room only for $234 plus tax a night in April. I paid $299 plus tax way back in May of 2001 with an AP discount, so I'm thrilled. The price of something in WDW has actually gone down!

I hope you don't mind if I ask you a question. I thought you could probably help me. I got the 40% off code in an e-mail. It is for room only. When I called today to make my reservation, the CM I talked to said if I used the code on the room then I couldn't get the dining plan. He said that I would have to pick between using the code on the room and the dining plan. He said that if I use the code on the room I will just have to pay out of pocket for meals.

I don't understand this. I have read on here about lots of people using the code on their room and still getting the dining plan. Do you have any advice?

I don't think you can be barred from purchasing the dining plan...I got a 40% off code for room only last year. In that case there was also free dining and I think THAT was either/or...it turned out that for us a discounted room at WL and purchasing the dining plan was cheaper than a mod and free dining. Could the CM perhaps have been talking about not being able to combine the room discount with a package? You can purchase the dining plan as a separate entity...just not as part of a package. Is that making sense? Like I said, I could be wrong...but really it all depends on which CM you talk to. You should call back. Just to clarify...and if you don't like the answer you get...just hang up and call back until you get the answer you want! That's the Disney way!!

I also recvd the code yesterday. I am so dissappointed. I cannot get anything even with eing flexable with my dates. I was hoping to get CL at the poly or AKL> Oh well maybe next time.

We booked Sept. 18-28 @ Carribean Beach
10 nights of dining for 3 adults and 1 child (kids are 11 and 7)
10 day park hopper

our total before we applied discount was $4,030

After Discount $3,359

We still hope for FREE dining...which would be additional $540 of savings.

(I assume you can not combine discounts, you have to go with one or the other, correct??)

I am so excited to at least have SOME kind of discount and SO early!!!
I thought I was going to have to wait till April to see any discounts!!!!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Yup, can't combine savings. One code or another. I tried calling again this morning. No code under me or my husband but I did correct that they had the wrong address for my husband. Where do they get their info? It's so weird.

Just out of curiousity, when you get a 40% code in email, does it literally say 40% OFF or is that just what the code generally ends up bringing the rate down to?

I dont understand why this is being told to so many people, this is NOT TRUE , you cant use 40%off and free ddp but you can use it for your room then add ddp (full price)...i have done this many times and I am sure some cm would get into to trouble for discouraging people from getting the ddp, they loose money because in order to get ddp you have to buy a one day ticket at least (at their price) .

I just called again. The CM told me that you CAN NOT purchase the dining plan if you use the 40% off deal.

Has anyone been able to purchase the plan when using the 40% off?

I just booked 5 nights at Beach Club for August with the 40% off code yesterday and had no problem getting the dining plan added. In fact the CM asked if I wanted to add that to my package. Did you ask to get the tickets also? I don't know but maybe you need to have everything included?

YES! I was just there in late October and I got 40% off my room rate the the GF AND I purchased the dining plan! That CM is NOT RIGHT! Call them back!

 

[livie1205]

yep got the ddp with my room and used the 40% off...did this last year too....they were wrong, the 40% is off room only but if you add a one day ticket you can get the ddp with that....i got AKL CLUB LEVEL,ddp, one day ticket (i will upgrade to fl res) for 5 nights for 2 adults,1 jr and i child for 1900.00 and that is after tax that is also with a sat night stay in there (dont know how much that was)but without 40% the room alone would have been around 1725.00 and whole package would have been around 2500.00 (did not do math to exact number)and i did not have one problem adding ddp.

I just wanted to say thanks to those of you who told me to try calling again when I said the CM I talked to wouldn't let me use my 40% off code.

I just called and talked to a really helpful CM. She was more than happy to apply the code to my reservation (room only portion). It saved me over $700.00.

She said that it is a lot of computer work on her end to apply it and that is probably why the other person I talked to said it couldn't be done. He just didn't want the work for himself.

So thanks for the advice to call again!!!

 

[shelly3girls]

I received a postcard today. Can I check rates online using the code or do I need to call?

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

I received the code as well and got a 2 bedroom villa @ SSR for $318 per night.

I used my code last night to book 7 nights standard room in Oct for my family of 4 at CR. We paid 1923.41. I called back to change my standard room to a tower room and CM told me 40% off code only applied to standard room....can anyone confirm or deny this? We really wanted the tower.

 

[dawz1026]

from my computer to mailbox....... oh were is my code????

i used mine for club level at akl maybe there are no tower rooms left with that code, could be it but you can always call back...it is not just for standard rooms

Currently WDTC packages include tickets. So a package with dining would include room, tickets and dining. It could be the room or resort they want is not available or offered during the time they wish.
I think many assume they can book a room only res and just attach the DDP if they wish. This would be turning a room only res into a WDTC package.

What is the best way to ask if you have a code. I have received a few emails from Disney Destinations and just skimmed them, not really looking at the content and I may have deleted it. What do I ask a CM when I call to see if I do indeed have one?
