What do you mean by pin codes?
The current 40% room discounts have allowed me to price a disney vacation that we could actually afford! But I am really hoping to plan it for next fall. Is this 40% off thing somewhat common? Am I likely to find it next year?
Here's a link to a historical look at Disney World discounts: http://www.mousesavers.com/historicalwdwdiscounts.html.
The 40% discount has popped up fairly regularly during slow periods, but recent media coverage of Disney earnings calls indicate that they want to put the brakes on all the discounts. That said, when occupancy falls, discounts drive reservations.
Thanks for sharing the mousesavers link... I'm holding my breath for room-only discounts for 10/9-12/2010 for our 11th anniversary
That link gives me hope that they *may* open up discounts soon for Disney Visa or AP holders (which we can use)
Well, Disney released their second-quarter earnings last night and the Parks/Resorts/Cruise Line division did not do well compared to their other businesses. The major reason cited was lower attendance. They may have to think twice about doing away with the discounts if attendance doesn't pick up.
Guest spending was actually up for the quarter, which helped offset the decrease in attendance.
