December 2012 Code Watch

Hey guys, just a reminder, when you book your December trips, come join us on the Dec. 2012 Roll Call. Link in my siggie.

Hope you all get the discounts you want!! :thumbsup2

Thanks for the tip! Didn't know that was there. :)
 

I just got off the phone with a CM and tried to book a 10 day stay at POFQ for FD and was told that the promotion was only for a Garden Room for $3302! Is that true that this promotion is only for Garden Room? She claimed that she asked her supervisor. Calling another CM....

That may be the only rooms left for your dates.

Keep in mind this offer was released back in May thru Pin Codes and then again earlier this week for Disney Visa card holders. So now that its open to GP, there may be availability limitations at some resorts, and with FQ being the smallest of the moderates, room availability difficulties does not surprise me much.

I didn't crunch the numbers, but something seems off. I booked 10 nights at POR-AB, standard room for just under $2,000 (room cost only). Was your price quote including your park tickets as well? Otherwise it looks like a garden view costs $130 more per night which can't be correct. If the quote included park tickets (depending on how many people) your quote doesn't seem that far off.
 
Congrats to everyone who got Free Dining. We've always gone in December during (at least part of) the time Pop Warner is there and haven't been blacked out. This is the first year we've been blacked out (and our dates aren't flexible). I guess we'll just pay OOP this year.
 
I just scored FREE DINING for December! I wanted to thank a DISer for posting the info, but I can't find the thread he posted in. I know his name is Danny. Danny, if you're reading this, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! You saved us several hundred dollars AND we were able to get a hotel upgrade! :yay:

Congrats, friends!!! I need an AP room only for December :) free dining is not really a good deal for me since I am traveling solo with tables in wonderland. Fingers crossed!

Which dates? I'm online right now and with my dates I could book standard, garden, or river view at POFQ.
 
Could not find any Deluxe resorts for Dec. 9 - 15 with FD. Think already sold out under the promotion?

I was trying for 11/29- 12/10 but couldn't get a standard room. I found one from 11/25-12/6. Thanks!
 
Cybrkitn Did your TA get everything taken care of for you?

YEP :cool1: We're all set with FD :banana:

Our TA went over and beyond what we ever expected. She was up at 5:30 am to call Disney and was on hold for 3 hours :eek: just to make sure we got FD! But boy did she go through a lot just to get it!

Originally the CM told her that only the pirate themed room qualified for FD. So b/c of that, she had to upgrade my mom and brother from a non-themed standard room with water view to a pirate themed one with water view just to make sure we all had FD. Somehow it was saving her $600 :confused3. She then upgraded us from a pirate themed standard room to water view and requested adjoining rooms. Thereby increasing our cost by $400.

My mom wasn't happy with the room change as her and my brother never wanted the pirate rooms to begin with. But I told her to look at it this way - she has FD and we are not in the room that much anyway. We're in the parks all day. The other way would mean that she would go back to her original room request and pay for the DDP. In the long run it would cost her more. That still didn't convince her.

About an hour or so later, our TA calls me and tells me that she went online to the TA web site and saw that a non-themed standard room opened up for FD and she grabbed it. She put both of us back to our original room requests, added FD and would call Disney to cancel the other reservation. :cool1:

DH and I were not expecting her to go through all of this so that we could have FD. Especially having her do this on her own time prior to her office opening up at 10 am! That shows true concern for their customers. We're thinking of sending her and her office a thank you basket for all their hard work.
