Anyone looking for code AFTER free dining?

Package Discount is room plus tickets, I think really the room is discounted but they make you buy tickets as well. A room only discount is just that. You can book just the room at a discount.

That is one reason I only book room only and wait to see what they come up with. If a package deal comes out that's better than my room only plus buying tickets through ticketmania, then I'll go with that, but if they have a room only deal better than AAA i'll switch and buy my tickets through Tickemania.

I just hate waiting

DH and I are heading down 10/6- ? for a 3-4 day F&W trip. I have my fingers crossed for a discount. I think we got free F&W when we did this 2 yrs ago. I'd be just as happy with a room discount.

Disney typically offers discounts to fill rooms during slow periods so if you all keep booking your AAA rooms in the hopes of switching to a discount package, Disney won't see this as being a 'slow time'.

If the economy keeps tanking, there will be discounts!

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!

what are the package deals like in Dec?Where can i find that info?

You will have to cancel your september trip and make a new reservation when the details come out. Whether they penalize you will depend on when you cancel your september trip. Sometimes the CM will just apply your amount paid to the new reservation after cancelling your first reservation.

If you got the resort you wanted for september, i would stick with that. Your resort option may not be available with future discounts.

Well...we were supposed to be coming in September for 4/5 days (after free dining) then meeting my parents at the beach & using my couson's beach house for 4/5 days. But my parents aren't going to be able to go, and the kids insist they can't go to the beach without Grandpa.

So..now dh & I are thinking about January/February instead. Maybe the first week of February. I need to go read that link on past codes when they were released and such and do some research on Jan/Feb crowd (which I know they aren't bad) times, when is the marathon, things like that.


Hansel1 I see in your siggy you've gone in Jan. the last 3 years would you recommend it? Weather wise, nonexistant crowd?

We love january. Although crowds have risen a bit in the last two years, I believe it is still one of the better times to go. The marathon and MLK weekend are usually the second and third weekend in january. If you had to pick one or the other to go I would pick the Marathon weekend. The crowds have seemed lower.

As for the weather:

In 2006 we had perfect weather with the exception of our first night when the temps dropped to mid 50s and windy. It rained a total of 15 minutes that week.

In 2007 the weather was great as well for our 10 day stay. It rained 1 night while we were sleeping.

This year the weather wasn't so great. Mostly in the upper 60s with rain scattered throughout the week. Very windy.

We have a son now and he had a great time despite the weather, but we probably won't go back with him in January until he gets a little older and can handle the weather better. We have planned a trip in May 2009 and will take him then.

If it were only my wife and I, we would definately continue to go in January. It is great to get through the holidays and still have something to look forward to.
