anyone else flipping out having to wait for the 4th???

I too cannot wait until tomorrow. Unfortunately I am on the West Coast so I am going to be setting my alarm clock for 4:00 a.m. my time (7:00 A.M. East Coast time) to make sure I can get the deal.

This is slightly OT but maybe useful info for those of you calling tomorrow. According to the CM who I spoke with to make me ressies (yes with the Disney Visa...please don't hate me), AirTran will be offering a promo thru WDW CRO for round trip airfare from anywhere AirTran flies to Orlando for $129 per person. It's not impossible to get a flight that cheap or slightly cheaper from Chicago Area (I have 4 airports close enough to choose from), but when I said "which is cheaper Midway Airport or Milwaukee?" The CM said, it's from all AirTran destinations to Orlando! I'll admit my flights last August from O'Hare to Orlando were about $62 cheaper overall than this price but I'll be on the phone when you guys are trying to get this airfare. I know some areas of the country have much higher airfare to Orlando so I hope this info helps some people save some $. I've never had a "bad" CM but I've heard stories so even if they fail to mention this...you'll be able to ask if you want! Good luck everyone, like a PP said, the GP has no idea about this, even as a Disney Visa cardholder, the website says nothing and I got no email. If it weren't for the Dis, I'd have had no idea.

Can you be more specific, how and when can you book these flights???

The Disney Visa deal is on the Chase site if you look under the promotions for the Disney Visa Card.

I'd like to know about the Air Tran flights as well!!

I'm nervous too. I've seen so many Disney Visa people booking POP that I'm worried about getting it. I've already cancelled the reservation I had for Aug. 10 -19 and my new TA is going to try and get us in at POP tomorrow for the Aug. 13-22. I hope I don't regret canceling what I had.

OK CRO is where you call to make your room/package ressies (at least I thought that was what they called it, I could be wrong though). They can also make flight arrangements. When I asked her if she had any decent flights from the Chicago area, she said starting Tuesday (tomorrow), Airtran would be offering flights for $129 per person round trip thru WDW. I said "From which airport Midway or Milwaukee?" and she said all airports Airtran services to Orlando would be offering $129 rt to Orlando. I asked if I could contact Airtran directly to book this deal and she said "no just through WDW". She didn't even check because she said she knew she didn't have any better deal from Chicago area to Orlando. She instructed me to call back Tuesday (tomorrow) to book a flight. I was shocked and I hope she was right and I understood her correctly. She seemed really well informed and I took notes so I think it's legit info. I guess we'll be sure tomorrow. Good luck everyone.
