Codes to come in early August

[Mr. Potato Head]

I too hope they come out with AP rates soon. My husband & I have a lagoon view room booked at the Grand Floridian Dec 22 though 27 at the rack rate of over 600 per night. We really don't want to pay that much. Not that it would stop us from coming of course. Afterwards we move to OKW in a 2bdrm using points through DVC til the 3rd of Jan, so we'd like to save as much $ as possible since this is a long trip for us. I have been checking mousesavers daily. Where else should I check for AP rates?

Please read this carefully, it is only my opinion/idea of when the codes will come out, and it's only because I'm such a pessimist

I could probably tell you exactly when the codes I want to use will be coming out It'll be while I'm stuck in Norway at my brother in law's wedding the last week of July/first week in August. How expensive do you think it will be to call CRO from Norway By the time we get back, all the rooms will be taken, right?

Anyone have a strategy I could use to get to use the codes, even though we won't be back until August 7th/8th?

Schmeck, really not wanting to go to Norway, but I don't think hubby will let me off the hook because I need to stay home for Disney codes

Schmeck, unfortunately I think you are right. I think we will see the codes available to book onJuly 28. "By the end of the month", as one travel agent said on the Passporter boards. July 28 is a Sunday, which means that Disney will be able to use Sunday travel sections to advertise, should they choose to do so.

Do you have a relative that could call for you while you are gone? Maybe see if you can switch your ressie to Dreams Unlimited and let them take care of that for you.

Do they post codes for January? I'm planning a trip for January 3-11...around that time frame at least. I'd love to get some good codes for January and save even more money.

I too will be on vacation at the end of this month. Does anyone have experience with Dreams Unlimited? Are they aggressive in seeking out codes?

 

[jennymouse]

ncdisfan, Dreams Unlimited is good. If there are codes or anything they'll know about them. They also call & make your priority seatings for you, saving you long distance calls, help you plan your itinerary, etc. Get in touch with them, you won't regret it!

I have used Jean from the passporter boards to book my trips. It seems they have the codes, or word of the codes long before anyone else. They usually suppy them to mousesavers after they get their clients taken care of.

I know she gets the room for me first thing in the morning at the code rate . Maybe you can contact her and she can take over your reservation and alter when the codes come out?

How do I get in touch with Jean from the passporter board?

Hello everyone,

My fiance and I have an intimate wedding booked for 10-28---11-3. With our stay being at the GF. We would like the honeymoon suite, but there's a big difference in price. Does anyone know if the codes will affect this room rate or our package?

Would love any information!!!

Unfortunately, the Honeymoon suites don't normally get included in the discount. But it sure sounds like it will be a great trip!

Congrats!!

Schmek,

Give a friend all the infromation they would need to book a room for you. Even a credit card number (if you trust them) including exp date to pay the deposit incase you won't be back in time to pay the deposit.

Then when you see the codes come and are able to get online email your friend and set up a time for you both to get online. Try using icq or some other instant messanger type of program with your friend. Your friend can pretend she is you and make the reservations for you. Then by being on a instant messanger program she can relay the information shes getting from CRO to you.

This is what I did with a friend when she had no phone because she had just moved into a new house. Codes for her area had come out and was wanted to get someting booked. So she emailed me and we got on icq. I said I was her and when I was given the infromation of what was available I sent her messages. I would then tell the CM that I was online with my hubby and had to wait for him to give his opinion of what was available. That way the CM didn't think I was nuts not responding right away

Will these codes appear in the Newspapers? Do travel agents have access to them before the general public? Will they appear on this board? How can I get one? Will somebody explain?
Thanks In Advance...

Boston Tigger,

There were code rates and annual pass rates out this January. We went Jan. 5-11 using annual pass rates. We stayed at the Poly and AKL.

The code rate for Poly, gv rooms was $179 and the AP rate was $174. At AKL the code rate for savannah view rooms was $189, and the AP rate was $169.

Hope this helps-

Sometimes the codes appear in newspapers, but sometimes not. It's best to keep an eye out here and at Mousesavers...or book with Dreams Unlimited, because they're always up on any discount that are out. Good Luck to you!

 

[Mich Mouse]

Thank You, JennyMouse for answering my question. I'll keep an eye out.

Good luck, Renee!

I spoke with a (hopefully) knowledgeable CM on Sunday. She said the codes are due out on the 22nd of July to cover October to December 25. Yah. And I normally don't look forward to Monday's.

 

[RIGrandpa]

I can't wait to see the codes for December 2002. I hope there will be some really good discounts!!!
