Can I just express.......

I believe that the package discount that already available may actually save you more money during that time than what FD would. You should go do some number crunching.

package discount during november? or january?
i didn't number crunch november til i thought about it after he said it.........now i need to.
i didn't find any discount in january except for AAA discount.
15% off deluxe rooms 20% off mods.
we want to do Beach Club this time, but now I hear Stormalong Bay may be closed for rehab in January.................. if so we will go back to Poly.
But now I need to rethink November, if there is a significant savings package.

Some people at some resorts were saving as much as 40% off with the current discount. I am sure that you are familiar with mousesavers.com, but the deal is readily available on Disney's website.

The current deal is only good though mid-December. AAA is the only discount currently available for January.

Our December room at CR is booked with a AAA discount. Oddly, the package code didn't save us anymore on the room than AAA would have. Since we already have tickets, it's not really necessary for us to do a package deal. My MIL is using a combo of AAA and the FL resident discount. The FL discount was great, it was $60 off a night on a Garden Wing room. We number crunched the Poly, which I think was about 30% off, but it was too expensive for my MIL. She is paying half of her room and we are paying the other half. We bought her park ticket and her MVMCP ticket.

The problem with the code that is out there at this point is availability. The week of the 14th is where the most availability remains. Good luck!

I'm going to look more into the discount dining options you guys are talking about. 15% off for Deluxe Resort guests is still an improvement over no discount. I'm also trying to figure out if the DDP is available if you don't book a "Magic Your Way" package.

No!
Now do my back will ya?
Here's the soap... opps ... be a lamb and get that will ya?

You're terrible, Muriel.
*slowly gets the soap*

Wait a minute...........How on earth did you drop a 35oz. bottle of body wash??? It has grips on the side.

Congrats on being able to pay for the trip! I hope you have a fabulous time.

Graicias! Luckily my friend is covering about 25% of the expenses.....or else I'd be in big trouble.

Your hands must be uber slippery. This is the 12th bottle/bar of soap I've had to pick up in the last 5 minutes.

The DDP is only available with the MYW packages, unless you are a DVC owner and using your points for your stay. A MYW package requires at least a one day park ticket purchase.

Just remember, if you change to a package booking, the entire balance for the room, tickets, and dining would have to be paid for 45 days in advance of your stay and if you have to cancel or reschedule there could be penalties.

Honestly, we have usually find the purchase of AAA to be the best money saver on our Disney vacations. It's cheap and offers other benefits year round. The downside is that if we want to book a MYW package, we have to use a AAA travel agent and our local AAA office stinks. However, using the room only discount is just a quick call to Disney to check availability.

I've gotten discount offers through Priceline for park tickets after having purchaced my flight ticket with them. (They've changed my flight itinerary 8 times so far, but that's a whoooole other story I won't get into.) 15% off of the regular price isn't too bad of a deal, is it? I don't have AAA any more, otherwise I'd probably use them.

As for the DDP, we'll probably just skip it. With the exception of the reservation we have at Narcoosee's, we probably won't be going to any expensive places. Plus the Food & Wine Fest will be going on and I'm sure I'll be gaining 50 pounds with that alone.
