Changed from Free Dining code to ZJZ and it was less$$!!

Are you actually checking in on 8/27? I tried to price it online for you for 10 nights with that check-in date and there were no mods available at all. If you called and asked them to try and convert from free DDP to the other code, they might be able to find availability, but then they would charge the $50 change fee since you're less than 45 days out and the new package would be less money. You'd only be ahead about $20 at that point...don't know if it would be worth it or not.

zjz is a package code with dining. But you do have to puchase room and tickets to be a package and therefor be elligable for the dining plan. You can not add dining to a room only.

I find the following list of codes -
BUK - Room only
BUL - Room only
ZJU - Package (room +tickets)
ZJY - Package (room +tickets)
ZJZ - Package (room +tickets+dining)
ZJV - Package (room +tickets+dining)

I don't know why there are two for each but they are supposedly enterchangeable. Make sure you provide the CM with the proper code and you could always try the second code for what you want if the first doesnt work. Some CM's wether it be laziness, rudeness, or lack of knowledge just don't enter but one code. So if you call and say you want the BUL discount they will put it in and tell you that is for room only and not give you options. Or if you call and ask for the current special the may remember BUL and put it in but not know of the other codes and tell you that is room only.

I had a CM tell me that the codes simply tell them where you saw the ad..helps them with advertising. I imagine this type forum messes that up for them, not sure if it is enough to bother them tho.
I have an interest in sales and advertising, so this would perk my ears up

I just thought i would be helping mom out a bit to save her some $$, however, its not worth it for $20 or so
