Canadians heading down Nov/Dec

I have a question about that pin. I really want one, but I get to thinking, is the 40% on room only? We want the tickets and the Din Plan.

Just thought I'd ask.

I wish we could get some great flights out of halifax or even better, Moncton (NB) We live about 3 min drive to the airport. But it's SO much cheaper to fly out of Portland. (and hoping for Bangor)

yes our 40% pin was for room only. I am keeping my eye out for FD for our time period as I think it may give a better discount.

So with room only does that mean you can't get the dp? and would have to get park tickets seperately? We are goingg to be staying at Contemporary, so I would think that any room discount would be the best savings right?

We are going Nov 7-15th and staying at AKV (first trip home!) in a 2 bedroom in Kidani Village. Can't wait!

I was lucky enough to get the 40% off email back in October when the first wave of discounts was sent out. It is room only, BUT you can make it into a package with tix and dining plan. You will still pay regular price for tickets and dining plan portion of the package, but your room rate is 40% off. This made our nightly rate for WL only $144 a night plus tax, which is a great savings (standard room, we saved about $100 per night). I was able to book two separate rooms with this, one for us and one for my parents.

As for FD being a better deal than 40% off....it depends where you stay and how many people in your party. Basically, I think FD is a better deal if you are at Values, but it comes out to almost the same thing if you are staying at a deluxe.

We're going too! DH and I to celebrate our 25th! I got the 40% discount so I booked at the Poly. 1st time there for us, can't wait ( Nov 16-21 ) then we are driving down south to Fort Myers

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

My DH works for West Jet, and as a manager, he is told about route schedules earlier than they are released to the public. I will post as soon as the Winter Orlando flights are announced, hopefully they add more direct flights!

We are flying out of Calgary and would love to see a seat sale!! Hope it is soon, I'd love to book the direct flight. Love WJ

We're planning to go November 6th - 18th, just need to confirm everything and then book.

Dec 21 -30. AC seat sale (149 pp each way). Around 1600 for family of four!

Rental house in Kissimmee 4 of us and in-laws (9 in all).

 

[AZMyers]

I am hoping to take the kids the week before Thanksgiving. whoohoo!!!

My husband and I are going this week as well! We just got married last year and want to do a trip just the two of us before we have kids in the next few years.

From everything I've read, this is a great week to go. Can't wait!

 

[Parkerpooh]

We're going too. Nov.29-Dec.5- All star music suites. Twins first trip!

 

[Honeystar120608]

We have toyed with the idea of going the week before Thanksgiving. I hear the crowds are lighter... doesn't mean that they don't exsist, but the week after Thanksgiving there are Christmas decorations and such. I've only been the one time, with the decorations. My parents first time, and Im really fond of the DIsney Decorations. Just adds so much I find. Kids love it too. BUT I cant stop thinking about the week before... Im stuck. lol

 

[dancin Disney style]

Also going down Nov 29-Dec 5, with DH and DD7, AND my parents are coming with us for their very first time too. We're at the WL....we'll be sure to wave to you as the boat passes by the CR!

I'm debating going the exact same dates. Did you get the 40% PIN? If I want to do it I'll have to book ASAP....if anything is still available.

 

[Honeystar120608]

I was just on Air Tran's website and they already have rates for mid NOV. Im a week too early it seems for the dates we are travelling, but YAY! I can get a rate of $84 each way per seat out of Portland! ( every week before we leave, so assumably the dates we are going as well!!)

I was lucky to get the 40% pin...and standard rooms. Hoping for an upgrade at check-in (my parents first trip ever and their first vacation with DD) - but we'll be happy with the standard rooms if that's what we end up with. We've only been to WDW once before, in Aug for free dining, and we are really looking forward to milder temperatures and all the Christmas decorations.

I have a feeling with this economy, they might release some other really good discounts later in the year, if they see that they are still underbooked. So you can still be lucky! Keep checking your emails.

I didn't mention that I did get that 40% PIN as well. I just haven't booked anything or even called to enquire. It's the first PIN that I have received and I feel like I MUST use it DH doesn't care one way or the other but he really enjoyed FD in 2007. If that were to come back I think he might feel a little different.

I just wanted to mention that Enterprise has REALLY good prices for rentals for November when we are going. We got a week's rental (FULL SIZE!!!) for 135 USD.
