Anyone looking for code AFTER free dining?

[ChrisAlli]

We're going Sept 27-Oct 4th. Right now we're booked with AAA discount. Hoping for something a little better. Anyone else waiting to see if something comes out for after free dining?

 

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Yes, count me in! We are using AAA for now, but I would love to have something better for our September 26th to 30th trip.

Me!! We are doing a quick trip Oct 3 - Oct 6 (mostly for MNSSHP) and are already booked at Pop. If something free/discounted comes my way then GREAT, but it won't make my trip any less magical

What are the odds of other freebies/discounts/specials coming out for times after free dining? This will only be our 2nd trip to WDW so I've never really followed the deals before.

We are currently booked with the bounceback free dining 9/25 - 10/4 but do to a change in the school calendar, we might have to change our dates from 10/2 - 10/11 falling into the discount "BLACK HOLE".

After asking on the DIS awhile back, I finally tracked down what we paid last year after free dining for dates 9/29 - 10/4. We stayed at CBR for 7 nights with 8 day Park Hoppers and it looks that we saved about 20%. I thought I saw somewhere on here that Deluxes may have been 30%. I WILL TAKE IT!!!!

Me!!! We are booked right now for Club Level AKL. I'm 99% sure Disney will not be offering free dining for Club Level. We reeeeaaallllly want to do the sunrise safari for my daughter's b-day, so we are hoping for a code that works on club level.

Well these are some things that came out last year don't have % off but some were offered during free dining and some right after, so i'm hoping something for after this year.

I'm soooooooooooooooo hoping one of these comes through this year.
We have only been once before too and want to go this year either 4 days around September 27th OR the following weekend around October 4th. Depending on the offers/discounts and the vacation schedule at the office
We don't even have AAA so we can't save that. Is the yearly membership worth the savings on a value as that is where we want to stay?

ChrisAlli -
Thanks so much for the info - that is exactly what I was looking for!!
We passed on the free dining this morning, hoping for a 40% discount room only at the Poly from Aug 22/31. We have AAA discount right now! I will have to keep my eye out for an AP room only discount!
Thanks again!

 

[ChrisAlli]

AAA cost about $60 a year. You can call CRO and ask them the price with the AAA discount and then decide if it's worth it. I know right now we're booked at the FW Cabins end of Sept into Oct 4th and we're saving about $420 in AAA discount. My SIL is staying at CS about the same time and she's saving about $250. AAA has other benefits as well, take a look at their site.

 

[newmommie77]

I just got AAA but when I booked my trip I did not book it with AAA...still hoping for a better discount. We are going 9/26-29. We are going for F&W and MNSSHP. We will be staying AKL club and wanted to do sunrise safari also. O well on the free dining.

 

[KSBelle]

Planning on WL for Sept 22-29.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a GREAT AP rate. I saw where discounts for those dates didn't come out last year until 6/20 and it's agony waiting and waiting and waiting.
But in the meantime I can wait for MNSSHP tickets to go on sale. Disney really knows how to string you along!

 

[Joan S.]

Hi, I am hoping for an AP rate Oct.6-10 for a "Ladies Trip" to Food and WIne Festival! Joan

 

[devonsmommy]

I am a VISA cardholder and got the offer, but now my question is, I saw the post earlier about the package deals in December. Does anyone know when they were released? If I book now for September with this good deal, but really want to go in December, can I change it without penalty if the new deal comes out before my Sept. trip would be final? Hopefully that makes sense!

You can still get AAA discount when booking through disney, not sure if you were aware of that.
AAA discount will save you 20% off value in december

Just wanted to mention we have AAA room only rate at AKL club for fall 08. If they have club rooms at AAA rate available, you can get a discount. It's worth asking.
(Our savings were about $360.00 off a 7 night stay.)

 

[jrasmom]

So now I'm just curious as to how much those package discounts were when offered for 2007? Does anyone know? Late September (after the 20th so we miss FD drat!), possibly first week of of October is when we want to go.

 

[luckyboy]

The next time we are looking to go is in mid October and would so like a code
or some kind of discount. Here is to hoping!!

 

[Tink's Pixieduster]

We're actually arriving a few days before FD ends, but a room discount would be a better savings for us. Waiting to find out about AP discounts.

jrasmom, Here is a link to previous historic discounts. It won't tell you the amount of the discount, but might help to calculate when an announcement might be made. http://www.mousesavers.com/historicalwdwdiscounts.html#codetrends.

 

[drcmk]

I'm daydreaming about a possible mini-trip from September 27 - October 1. A discount code might make my dreams a reality!

What exactly does "package discount" mean? Or what did it mean last year? Anyone remember or take advantage of it? Was it just a percentage discount like AAA?
