Thanks for the 1-800#....I was freaking out b/c I wanted to hurry up and book my room and my home phone doesnt have long distance (thats what a cell phone is for). Unfortunately my cell phone is half dead and I get a terrible signal where I'm currently at.
Talked to Claude. I was the FIRST to book the new code with him (he just came on shift). He confirmed that CM's rarely know as much as DISers...told me he's been meaning to come check out the DIS boards.... come on claude! You get my vote for friendliness and patience!
I booked POP for six nights (durnit! ASMo wasn't available for the discount) for 2A and 2C with one day base passes and dining for 1092.32. Reg. rate would have been 1292.84....a SAVINGS of 200.52! I did ask how much my tickets ran so I could figure out what an upgrade to SP is going to cost but he couldn't say...there is no break down on his screen. He said ticketing would have a value listed in their system....has anyone that booked this code with one day bases called to find out? I'm curious if this discount came off both tickets and room, just room or just tickets....I'm leaning towards just room b/c people seem to be saving about the same amount regardless of what kind of passes they are buying and the price variations can easily be linked to length of stay or hotel quality....any imput guys?
So if the entire discount came off room that means I'm paying $48 with tax per night....wow that sure doesn't sound right...mabey I am getting a discount on the tickets...but how much of a discount would they offer on a one day base since their incentive has always been "longer=better deal"
I know $200 doesn't sound like an extremely large amount in the scheme of things BUT we were going to book a room with a room only discount for Florida Residents and then buy SP when we get there. Unfortuantely, the dining plan is not an option this route. I don't mind PAYING for the dining, but I can't seen paying rack rate to do so. SO this route I was able to get dining and SOME sort of room discount...though at this point I'm not sure what it is. We've been planning on eating CS for all but two TS meals (not counting breakfast...we plan on doing cereal in the room).
Anyhow, estimated cost of 9 CS and these two specific TS (boma's and charcter breakfast) plus one snack a day = $492
Cost of dining plan that includes 6 CS, 6 TS, 6 S ea = $540
So paying for the dining plan is only $50 more than what we were planning on spending and we get to eat at six resturaunts instead of 2....quite a deal!
