Hello everyone. Happy Halloween!!!
I am trying to plan a trip thanksgiving weekend 2006 (I know....I know.....lol, but if its the ONLY time ya get you have to work with it......)
I havent been on here in a while and dont quite know too much about the codes. I have a disney visa can someone explain to me how I go about getting the code and what do I do/get with it?
Thanks so much.

Hi FL neighbor! I would call the 407-W-Disney number or check with DreamsUnlimited Travel here on the DIS to see if anything is available for Thanksgiving using one of the codes listed below

There is a Florida Resident room code out right now (don't have to use Disney VISA for this, just have to be FL Res with FL ID)
From mousesavers.com
Florida resident discounts are currently available for check-ins for selected dates through 12/23/06.
Discounts below are reductions on rack rates (full price room rates):
Travel dates: 10/1/06-12/23/06. Discounts vary by season: they are approximately $20 per night off Value resorts, $40 per night off Moderate resorts and $71-$80 per night off Deluxe and DVC resorts. Book by 12/23/06. Use code FBY .
Same info from DIS (but different code):
Florida Resident Room Only Discount
Florida Residents can get a "room only" discount at a Value, Moderate or Deluxe Resort. Depending on the dates selected, the Value Resorts start at $64 plus tax. Subject to availability on the following dates: 10/1/06 - 12/23/06, the booking code is FBW
Proof of residency required at check-in.
How many days are you going? Do you have an AP (annual pass)? If so, when you call they can check for any AP specials also (can only use one discount, can't stack them, but AP is usually a little less than FL Res).
Annual Passholder Room Only Discount
Annual Passholders visiting Disney World can now take advantage of special savings for travel 10/1/06 - 12/23/06.
*** - The FBZ discount starts with $74 per night at a Disney Value Resort for dates 10/5 - 11/22/06 and $59 per night at a Disney Value Resort for dates from 11/26 - 12/4 and 12/9 - 12/23/06. Select Moderate and Deluxe Resorts are also offering Passholder savings.
**********************
If no AP and if you need tickets, you can look at the FL Res "3-Day Play Pass" to add tickets to the FL Res room special:
it is $127.80 adult (only $42.60 a day!), $105.44 child (tax included). It's a Base Ticket (no hopping) valid for three days of admission. You can add the Park Hopper and/or Water Park Fun & More options at the usual cost if you wish. Pass expires 6 months from first use. (Note: You can add the park hopper for $15 per ticket..)
Or were you looking for a package? This just ended tonight (10/31)
For check-ins 11/1/06-12/23/06 you can get a special discount on a Magic Your Way vacation package. 11/19/06-11/23/06 and 12/2/06-12/8/06 may be excluded from this offer. Some hotels may have limited or no availability for certain dates.
Prices start at $369 per adult based on double occupancy at a select Disney value resort in standard room, for a 5-night/6-day package. Prices for the same package start at $217 per Junior (ages 10-17), $176 per child (ages 3-9) when they stay in a room with two adults.
The discount can be applied to a regular Magic Your Way vacation package or to a Magic Your Way Package Plus Dining.
This package offer covers some of the same dates as the previous "Season of Dreams Package" offer and offers similar rates. However, in a few cases it seems rooms at certain hotels have been opened up for discounting that were not available with the previous offer.
You must book by 10/31/06.
Requires a 3-night minimum stay. The number of rooms allocated for this offer is limited. Tickets must be used within 14 days of first use unless you add the No Expiration option for an extra cost. No group rates or other discounts apply.
Code ZGN or ZDG with dining
**************

1/1/07 -3/8/07 - not good for your Thanksgiving trip, but maybe if you wanted to go later....though there will also be another FL Res offer coming out for those dates also!
Disney is offering discounted packages for stays 1/1/07-3/8/07 (1/12/07-1/14/07 may be blacked out). The packages include discounted accommodations and Magic Your Way tickets, plus FREE Park Hopper and Water Park Fun and More ticket upgrades.
You must book no later than 12/16/06, using a Disney Rewards Visa card. No group rates or other discounts apply. The number of rooms allocated for this offer is limited. Tickets and options must be used within 14 days of first use. Water Parks subject to seasonal and weather closures.

************************
Now that I've thoroughly confused you, your best bet is for an agent to look at your dates and tell you what is actually left availability-wise plus code-wise for you to choose from before getting set on a specific resort!
