Well, surprisingly, I didn't see a lot of talk going on about this so I thought I'd ask if many of you have switched deals, or finally booked using this newest Disney Visa 40%deal? 
I happened to see this new Disney visa deal late last night mentioned in a thread here on the codes and rates board. I still don't have any email with the new Disney Visa code but I didn't need that as I had the OIZ code mentioned by another Poster(thanks Poster!). The deal is for most nights, 1/1/10 - 2/11/10. The sample night prices for 1/3/10 -1/6/10, 1/10 - 1/14, 1/18/10 - 2/11/10 made me think the rate would only be good for some nights of my trip, but the 40% off was valid for each night of my trip Jan 2 - 10, it just included the first night that was listed as a holiday night, and the last three of my trip which are part of marathon weekend, so the sample dates just show the lowest rates available during the discount period.
I called tonight to see if I could apply the new code to my ressies I had already made using the 4/3 deal and I did it no problem. My previous ressie was for 2 adults(myself and DD19), for eight nights at CBR Jan 2 - 10. To use the deal I had to book Jan 2nd as a single night, at holiday rate of $246 without a ticket(have 2 hoppers that we were compensated with from a previous trip we could use that day), and then start Jan 3rd, when the deal started, and buy 4 nights, with hoppers for 7 days. So for the room and tickets for both the ressies, was $1530.
So, I asked about the Disney Visa deal for room only, but when I asked about adding dining, she said I'd need a package with tickets so she said she could apply a different code for a package with tickets that was also 40% off package deal so that worked for me! I had switched to POFQ from CBR when I first switched my ressie to the 4/3 a couple weeks ago. So, my deal now is 40% off at POFQ for 8 nights beginning Jan 2nd - Jan 10, with 8 day hoppers. I like having it all in one ressie, not two, and I'll probably still add dining. The room portion was forty percent off each of the 8 nights, using holiday rate the first night, and marathon weekend rates the last three nights to calculate, so that came to $872, plus $615 for two 8 day hoppers totaling $1490. That's a savings of about $40, not a lot, but still great! Plus, if I do add on the dining plan, it's still cheaper than having dining on my previous ressie and paying OOP for dining the first day. So, saving a little bit of money, combined with having it all in one ressie makes this a great deal for me!
So, anyone else switch and get a better deal, or did you decide to stick with the deal you already had?
