Code watch February 2017

It's going to be a long wait till Monday... Looks like PSD will save around $500 off the reservation I already have booked. Hope there are still some discounted standard CBR rooms left on Monday. *sigh*

 

[keahgirl8]

I wonder if other room categories will be available when it opens to the public. I'm thinking no. I also don't see PSD for my resort at all. I can only get the regular package discount.

The rooms available are constantly changing based on last year. Categories came and went for weeks so I'd say keep checking.

Thanks for that. I'm going to keep at it then. I was so disappointed this morning.

I don't remember the discounts being so resort specific. 10% RO for POR , but 25% off CBR?! And a 201 rack rate for POR, and a 171 rack rate for CBR?! I guess I haven't paid much attention to those details. POR obviously is winning the demand category.

Unfortunately. That's my resort.

My TA just emailed me that my discount off my 4 night stay at POR is 66.60. That's 2 adults & 2 kids in mid-Feb. Not great.

Yeah. Not great. Is that for the same room category? I'm thinking it must be because of the Sun-Thurs thing.

I booked PS&D at PO Riverside for 6 nights. 2/5 to 2/11. 5 day base tickets. 3 adults 1 child. I included insurance. And I saved $610.90 total.

We booked Riverside Royal Room Pool View for 9 nights (2/5 - 2/14) with PS&D, park hoppers, memory maker and travel insurance. It was just under $4400. For my husband and me. My daughter booked pretty much the same except for the memory maker and there are three of them (all adults) for slightly higher. She had to take Garden View. For us the PS&D was worth it as our daughter is turning 40 and we are going to have lots of fun!

Ok we got nothing. In fact my TA said we would have to change rooms and mine would go up. This just doesn't make sense. I have used this discount before. We are 5 staying in a stbadard CBR room. Even upgrading to a preferred we should still save something. I have asked her to call again, maybe she got a bad rep.

They were having horrible system issues and it took quite a while for her to get the information to accept the discount. So hopefully you will get better news.

Yes, I have a preferred room. She said there was a 10% discount for the 2 weekdays and no discount on weekends.

 

[Sugar Jones]

I tried but it won't work for me It takes me to the offer page but won't let me price it out, it says offer not found. Maybe because I'm Canadian, and it detects I'm on a Canadian computer?

 

[Sugar Jones]

I can't get that to work. It's telling me that offer isn't available.

I did call this morning, only waiting for 10 minutes or so. My room category (preferred) wasn't available. I was going to save about $500 if I switched categories, but I checked to see whether I was really saving with the discount or because I changed room categories. The real savings was only $200, but that was garden view, which I didn't want. So...not great this year! In the last couple of years, I've actually been able to upgrade and still save. Not this year!

I tried too and it won't work for me either

 

[keahgirl8]

Those preferred rooms must have gone quickly! I called right at 7am EST and was on hold less than 10 minutes. I couldn't get preferred. I'm hearing I need to keep checking though.

Try a different browser. I couldn't get it on Firefox, but it worked fine on Chrome.

 

[paulahov]

I'm so bummed for you. I feel like we've been exchanging messages for a few weeks and I'm sad for you! Keep checking - I hope it comes through.

Have a better update! I was so unhappy with this mornings release and just bummed in general.

As a joke, I emailed my TA to get all 8 of us in a 2 bedroom villa for $12,000. She started looking and it ends up being $12,684.80!!! We were paying a total of $11,871 for 2 rooms at CBR. So we are going to split the $800 and stay at Saratoga 2 bedroom villa with DDP 8 nights with 7 day PH tickets.

I am pretty excited now!!!!

That's cool - sounds like that will work out well for you guys! I'm actually evaluating the travel agent angle myself due to the poor results of the deals released.

 

[MaggiesMomNJ]

Maybe I got a rep that bent the rules, but I didn't have to do this. In fact, I had paid my deposit of about $118 with my regular rewards cc a few months ago and I didn't have to pay anything with my Disney Visa card. I asked and she just said I simply needed to be a card holder.

Ugh!

 

[DisGin]

I got 25% off a cabin for princess weekend. I was pleased since I knew we would be staying there no matter what. I'll wait and see if an annual pass discount comes out.

 

[MaggiesMomNJ]

Ugh!

I was treated absolutely terribly by Guest Services and I have been on the phone for almost 2 hours.
