Booked AKL for 40% off!!!

[Tnkrbelle565]

My AAA TA has been REALLY slow at getting back to me to book my 9/07 trip. But as fate would have it, I read about the 40% off code here on Friday and decided to take my chance and call CRO. Had the NICEST CM I've ever dealt with. She informed me that I did have a code in my name and I was able to book AKL Savannah view for 40% off!!! YIPPEE!!!!!

Congratulations Tinker. Would you mind telling me how to get the code and if it is limited to the Animal Kingdom? thank you very much

Congrats on the code! It seems like a lot of people are having success with this code...enjoy!

 

[mrs. sparrow]

hey tnkrbelle565 what does CRO and CM mean? and how did you go about getting that deal?

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Hi, Just wanted to answer some questions. My thought is that I got a little pixie dust or a Year of a Million Dreams wish or something because I just called and was told I had a code. I never received the code by email or snail mail so I'm not quite sure why I was lucky enough to get it. All I can say is call CRO (Disney Travel Co for those who asked- and "CM" would be cast member) and give it a try.

what was the retal and what did you get it for?

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

If I did my math right...I think the room originally is about $320/night and I got it for $192/night.

Really hoping that some of the rumors on here are untrue about Disney "correcting" reservations and charging people a higher amount than they were quoted at booking. I really don't understand how they could possibly do this. If you were quoted a price and paid, I don't see how they could possibly raise the price on you. I checked my reservation on the Disney website and so far the price I was quoted is still listed.

Thank you for your reply. I did some math and thinking and realized that free dining for us is better than 40% off the room rates and I believe you only get one offer. So I am hoping for free dining. We have a big family and we loved the free dining in fall 2005, plus we love that time because it is slower. So if I wasn't able to go at that time, the 40% off would be the better deal!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Ya, the free dining was a great deal...that we managed to get the past two years! And I think it's definately worth more if you 1) have a big family and 2) are going to stay at a value resort since 40% off those rooms is only a savings of $30/night or something like that.

 

[bless7ings]

Well I think we qualify for a big family. There are nine of us. Free food comes to a savings of over $1,700 with tax!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

yup, 9 would be a "big family"....we are only a family of 3 so the room deal was a better one for us. Although it is kinda nice for the psyche to think every time you are eating at Disney "I got this free"
