40% code rates

[Turtlegirl]

I received the e-mail on Tuesday evening via e-mail. I had recently requested the planning dvd. The e-mail was from Disney Destinations LLC and said 40 % off deluxe resorts and gave 7 different times when you could book. These are "wonderful weeks" as defined by Disney-they must be low occupancy. In Sept., value season, 40 % off value price of $340 was $204 garden view Polynesian. October-regular season Poly GV $239 (40% off $399) & AKL Savannah View $207 40% off $345. You can view what the normal season price would be on-line and then take 40% off that way you know if you're being quoted the correct price. I was able to add the DDDP.

I called at least 5 times and some CSRs were very knowledgeable and helpful and some wer quite confused.

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?

Just call WDW CRO and tell them you'd like to check on availability and rates. Give them the dates you'd be interested in and the resort and ask if you are eligible for any type of discount. If not, then you can always say that you'll think about it and hang up. Some CMs are wonderfully kind and some are all businesslike. Don't take it personally, and you can always call again if you feel like the CM wasn't that helpful.

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.

The code definitely includes more than just standard rooms. I was able to price concierge level rooms at all of the deluxe resorts for my dates in August. Most likely it is just not available for your dates. When my first choice of dates was not available for the room I wanted the CM told me to keep calling back.

For those of you have have not gotten a code it may still be on the way. I just got my post card in the mail today. Not for my week though---oh well. I also recieved the 20% off one as well---same weeks. Stay hopeful!!!!

 

[tmonferdini]

Is there a special number to call to see if you have a code associated with your name?

 

[merlot3202]

You can call them directly (reservations). Just tell them some friends had gotten the 40% off code & is there one next to your name. I believe I received it becuase i just ordered the dvd, map & signed up for e-mails. Mousesavers says to sign up for everything possible through disney. Hope that helps!!!

Just booked AS Sports 3/31-4/8 with park hopper and deluxe dining for 2243.50 we are saving about 700 dollars! woohoo! aren't last minute trip the BEST?!?!?!

I only got a 30%,but my Question is...We were planning on going 9/26-10/03, but the code is only good till 9/27. Will they apply the code all the through like they did with free dining or do I have to change my dates??????

 

[goofieslonglostsis]

Tmonferdini; it's the normall CRO number.

Nikandboys; no, they wont. Since 1-1-2008, they'll apply the rate for that specific night, apposed to letting you use the rate of check in date the whole trip through. Last year you could start a week trip on the last day of value season and pay value rate for the whole week. Now you'ld be paying one night for value rate and 6 nights for normall rate. So now you'ld be mostly paying rack rate, unless you decide to make the trip ealier.

I actually didn't get the code, but an unbelievable CM decided it was time to give me major pixiedust. The result; a long weekend at AKL standard view in december (value season) for only $135,- and tax a night.

My e-mail was good for value resorts, is this something they enforce or would I still get 40% on mods or deluxes?

 

[goofieslonglostsis]

I've read from multiple people getting either mail or postcard stating a certain type of resort, that were able to get the discount for another type of resort. Some mentioned there being some fine print about 'ask about other resorts'. You could allways call and ask. No harm done there.

 

[aliwas]

Thanks for the super quick response

I got a postcard today but it is only for 20% off and my dates(8/3-8/10) are not even available. I get 20% off with AAA anyway, so it wasn't a great deal even if the dates worked. My postcard said that my vacation planning DVD was on the way, so maybe the card came because I ordered that?

If you've gotten a 40% off postcard, can you tell me if it's good for 8/3-8/10? If not, I am not going to keep hoping to get one. With AAA, I got $65 a night for Pop anyway, so I may have to be happy with that.

I called about a week ago and no code for me .........

I called today while going to pick up my DD from school and the great CM that I got said that there is no real way of telling unless we put in a resevation ... so I said sure why not ... CBR Oct 21-28 ...

$111 per night (tax and fees included)

I could have got the AKL but we really like CBR ...
That weekend is our DD's fall break and the 24th is DH's birthday so I am on

(does anyone know when Jersery week is this year?)

The CM I talked to said that as long as you start your stay on a day that the code is good for that they will let you use the code for your whole stay.

I just called the disney reservation line gave her my name, and asked if I qualified and she said yes!!! Disney has my name in the computer and my email from last year when I signed up. For the dates I wanted in September POP was already gone had to settle for Music. September 18-26, saved $298! However, if free dining is offered I will book that instead.

 

[disney-super-mom]

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

You can book "standard" club level rooms using the code, but it's still a standard view room.

As far as I've heard, the code is only good for "standard" view rooms, whether club level or not. It's a big bummer for me because we wanted to book pool view rooms at AKL with the code but we couldn't.

 

[PrincessBelle23]

Me & DBF just booked 9 nights at ASMo in August for $1863.90!!

Of course, that's with park hopper, water park plus, and Disney Dining, but the code still saved us $333.54!

all of the club level rooms at AKL are savanna view rooms now...
