December 2009 Code Watch

[HLAuburn]

Thanks for all your help! Unfortunately no luck for me I just called and they said "they have no way of checking that information anymore". They said I will have to wait till mid- summer to see if Disney offers any Dec. deals. I guess I'll just keep checking my inbox.

Depending on how "pushy" you want to be, I suggest you call back and talk to another CM. The response you get completely depends on who you talk to. I called a couple weeks ago and got a nice CM who looked for PINs for everyone in the family. I just said I know a lot of people were receiving deals for when we wanted to go, could she check to see if we were offered anything, and she was very helpful! Not sure why it seems like you get a different answer everytime you call, but its worth another try.

Thanks for the advice, it's definetely worth a call for a chance at a discount. I just signed up for a vacation video (cross my fingers it triggers and email!!!). Just a quick question around christmas does anyone think that spending the extra money to go to fort wilderness is worth the cost? I'd love Grand Floridian, but thats way out of my price range. Im also looking at Corondo Springs. Any suggestions?

Ok! Just called again, and made some progress. The last few times I stayed at the Swan and Dolphin, through Starwood so Disney did not have me in their system. I re-registerd with Disney and signed up for email again Lets hope for some good news! Oh and for the record, if you get the right agent You CAN check to see if you have a code attatched to your name! I used the line "alot of my friends are recieveing discounts through their email" (nicely of course) and it got them to search for my name.

Good deal!

The other way to get them to check is if you already have a reservation. Give them the reservation number, ask a question about it, and then ask if they can check if there's a code attached to your name that you might be able to apply to that reservation. Once they've got all your info up, they should be able to check. They always have for me; unfortunately, haven't had a code yet!

That's a great fare!

Does anyone know when Southwest usually releases their fares for Dec.?

Just need a decent flight, all are crazy and Airtran and Southwest are not open yet. We will head back to Port Orleans Riverside

Did you check Jetblue from Boston? We got tickets for a fairly reasonable $224 each person, nonstop both ways. But we're also going before XMas and returning the day after. SW will open their schedule on June 23rd. Good luck!

They were my first choice but nothing good for us there yet.

Yes...It's BEAUTIFUL!!!

 

[HLAuburn]

Does it start when the Xmas decorations go up? Like in November?

 

[Piglets Mommy]

I'm honestly not sure...I think it probably starts around the same date as the first MVMCP...that's kind of when all the decorations are officially up and they start the shows.

They will release December's schedule on June 23. I am anxiously waiting for then to book our flight for Dec 12 - 18.

MK go up the 1st week of Nov. We where there last year 11/1-11/11 and by the 3 or 4th they were up.

Epcot goes up closer to Thanksgiving.

The Osborne Lights were up already but they do not light them until Thanksgiving weekend.

here are some pic's of MK:

Just booked our trip 11/29-12/5. Dec is the best time to go. You'll love it. Nothing better than Disney at Xmas time!
