Disney VISA free dining code QXZ

[teedisney]

OK the disney travel company says it will work if you check-in on the last day. She told me to tell AAA to use code DLV. I know my AAA agent is not going to be happy I called.

Ok Just got off the phone with a wonderful CM - Zach (sooooo helpful) We have booked and paid for WL Standard Rm Oct. 5-11 4day PH, and basic dining plan...It costed $3053.

If we applyed this new Disney Visa promotion, we would upgrade to a Courtyard w/bunkbeds, 4 day PH and dining plan and the cost would be $2762
He said we would just cancel the exisitng reservation and credit it back to our Discover card (what we originally put our package on) and create a new reservation on the disney visa for this package and this price!!!

Problem is, we are still waiting for approval for our Disney Visa.

Any idea how long it will take????...Applyed first thing this morning when we found out we could get the discount. We may have missed the boat and that is ok, but maybe we will get a little Pixie Dust sprinkled our way

Because I'm completely impatient I just called again and talked to a different CM who said that the discount is ONLY free dining. There is no discount on room. I still saved a total of like $600, so I'm not really complaining.

There is a room discount. I priced my trip out for rack rate w/tickets and the price was $150 more than what I paid for using the FD code.

 

[IckyMickey]

I just saved $467! We're staying at the CSR 11/20-11/29. I had already applied that GP code that came out in August and was able to save more. Our total for the 4 of us is $2707.

Unfortunately, my mom was only able to save another $50. They are going with us, but need a king size bed. Still, it's $50!

I am praying for GP code, no Disney Visa here.....Anyway, has anyone used the code for POR??

 

[disneyin2008]

Just off the phone with nice CM and we are currently booked at WL Dec 13 for 6 nights AAA room only standard. She is showing no availability with that promotion at WL in any room type. She mentioned the Boardwalk but we have our heart set on WL and really have a good rate but would probably save around $400 if we got the free dining even if we had to do a room upgrade. She did mention that she thought since this promotion just came out this am that Disney has not opened up many rooms as of yet. She did mention that it would be a good idea to try back later today as she thought more rooms would be open by then. Just passing along to anyone who didn't get what they wanted this am. May want to try again this afternoon.

As another poster said, the 13th is not part of the promotion, so it won't show availablity for the code. BUT.....the thing that irks me is that the CMs don't appear to be telling people to book with the code for the dates that ARE covered and to get a separate reservation for any dates not covered.

So.....call back and tell them that you want to get a NEW reservation with the free dining for December 14 to I think your leaving date is December 18? Those dates ARE covered by the code if there are rooms available (code goes through 20th). Then AFTER you have those dates confirmed with the free dining, tell them to change your original reservation to ONLY December 13. You'll have to pay two deposits, but you're about a month away from having to pay the whole thing anyway, so hopefully you're able to do so. THen when you check in on the 13th you will NOT have free dining (which typically is fine since most people aren't arriving early enough to do 1TS/1CS/1snack anyway).....but also tell them that you have another reservation starting on the 14th and IF POSSIBLE you'd like to not have to change rooms. If they can they'll leave you in the same room (if your two reservations are two different categories that probably won't work unless they upgrade you at check in but don't count on it, just accept the pixie dust if it happens). Just in case it won't work.....pack accordingly...put everyone's toiletries, pjs and one day change of clothes together in one suitcase, then you only have to use that suitcase and can leave the others alone until you move to your other room. Very easy to repack in the morning to move. Frankly, I live out the suitcase when it's that short of a move, rather than unpack anything at all. A little hassle, but the cost savings may make it worth it.

No room discount for deluxes.

 

[CinderellaDreamer]

I was told that there was no room discount either, BUT, my price WITH dining vs. just using the fall discount including dining is cheaper by $150 or so.

I am adding 3 nights stay at BWI the week before T-giving. We are staying off-site for the week of T-giving with family.

My package price for a family of 5 for 3 nights with 7 day ticket is $2150.58. Tickets are $1102. Price difference of $1048.58...minus dining plan which is around $340, gives a rate of about $240 per night at the BWI. I think that is a pretty good discount. Includes a Friday night stay.

No availability at YC, BC, or CR for my nights. 11/19-11/22

We'll be at WH 11/22-11/29.

(typo)
Exactly! but the poster may need the park tickets for the 13th and buying a 1 day ticket for the entire family just won't be worth it. That is the problem I have run into. Someone posted that I may be able to get them to issue me my park tickets the day before (the 14th) other have said not possible. The savings just where not enought to have to deal with this possible problem.

No room discount for deluxes.

I booked POP Century, so I'm going off of what I got.
Some people are saying no discounts for values but there are for mods and deluxes. lol. Who knows?? It's crazy how many different answers and results we all get.
Just happy mine worked out in my favor
2 trips in 2 1/2 months is pretty expensive, so I need all the codes, discounts, pixie dust I can get!

 

[Pinkpony]

We used the Visa code and got this:

CBR - 11-22 to 11-27, $1,850.40 for 4 people, includes base tickets and free dining.

11-22 was the last day before the black-out dates. The first CM would not let us use the code, but we tried again and it worked.

We were also offered All Sports for $1,608, but decided to splurge a little.

 

[PoohlvrLynn]

I've been on the phone since 6:30, Az time. The 1st CM I spoke with got me the free dining with the visa card at *** (oops) Sports, I was originally at POP. but with saving $439, I decided to switch. I was so excited, after I hung up I realized I should check if they had any moderates so I called back, only to find out that the CM put in the wrong dates of travel. She put my day of arrival in as my actual day of departure. To make a long story short, they took away my free dining in order to put me back to my original dates and at POP. I asked if they could compensate me in any way and they said no, that they could just give me my original res. back. I am not waiting on an e-mail from them...

 

[My2Angels]

Is anyone getting the option to upgrade to deluxe dining for the cost of regular dining?

So you can save even more money just by switching values?? I'm at POP right now, but if I could save a couple of hundred to switch to a different value, I would gladly do that!

 

[PoohlvrLynn]

Yes, as long as it's available. Just make sure they give you the correct dates.

Are the other values as good as POP Century? Or should I stick with that one?? Crap - more decisions!

 

[sharibrat]

AAA agent dropped the AAA Fall dilscount and picked up the free dining and saved us another $82.

 

[MickeyMomOfThree]

We originally booked at POP, when the GP code came out we switched to ASSp and saved $497 per room (we have 2). I called today and was told taht the code I had used was better then this one, trust him. That was it, he didn't check, just trust him. I asked how that was possible being that I would have saved over $1000 for free dining, he said no, I was wrong. So, I hung up, frustrated. I kept thinking about it so I called back and got the NICEST guy. He said I bet you would save more using the Disney Visa code, let's check. We saved another almost $900 (oops, almost said 9000 that would have been something!!!). We went from 2813.94 (3 adults, 1 junior) and 2279.89 (2 adults, 1 kid) to 1803.06 and 1572.93. AMAZING!!!!!!!! The guy was sooooo kind, I was crying and he said I was going to make him cry. We had paid off our vacation just last week, so now we have about $900 waiting for us on our KTTW to use for tips, souvineers, etc. (He said they would credit what we didn't use back to the CC, but I'm betting we will enjoy using it!)
Anyway, if first you get someone unhelpful, try again. I got a man named King and he was the best!!!!!!! I am going to go send an e-mail to Disney about how kind he was. He deserves to be recognised for being such a wonderful CM.

We have always been pleased with the All Stars (I bet you'll have to be at Sports). The nice thing about Sports is that it is the first bus stop. In the morning you will get on to an empty bus, and at night when yo uwant to go to SLEEP you will be the first one dropped off.
