Don't get these codes!

[JennCa]

I just called to check some dates/rates and here is what I was told, but I know I am missing a few pieces to the puzzle.

I am going to be in Orlando from Nov 15th-28th, but only needed a hotel stay either Nov 15th-17th or Nov 24th-28th (but since 24th is high season I was thinking of doing Nov 25th-28th.

I asked the CM aobut the ZQG code and he said that it was a minimum of 5 nights stay and asked about AAA and it is 94 a night for a value or 140 for a moderate and of course then there is tax. This seemed a bit pricey I thought for a room only rate with a code.

I don't have an AP or Disney Visa.

Any advice/help?

Ok, I am no expert, but here is what I am thinking. For 2007 I think they still have it, so that room prices vary by season, not by individual dates.

So, if you are going Nov 15-17 it puts you into regular season and the prices for standard room per night are as following:

Value - $99 +tax
Moderate - 165 +tax

With AAA discount

Value - $84.15 +tax (15% discount)
Moderate - $140.25 +tax (15% discount)

Now if you go Nov 25-28, that puts you in value season and the prices for standard room per night are as following:

Value - $82 +tax
Moderate - 145 +tax

With AAA discount

Value - $65.60 +tax (20% discount)
Moderate - $116 +tax (20% discount)

This is what it should be, whether it works or not, depends on whether there is availability for standard rooms with AAA discount.

If I were you, I would call back and see if the numbers and dates they are offering you are close to what you think they should be.


Good luck

I saw on Mousesavers the Fall codes (i.e. ZQH or ZQD) if we want the dining plan. But, if we are AAA is there a different code? My AAA TA called and got worse rates than I got calling Dis directly and just using the ZQ codes. Is there a code to somehow use Fall codes and AAA? Or do you have to choose one or the other? Thanks.

You can't use both, you have to pick either AAA or the discounted package

 

[ksmama]

That's what I figured. The Fall rates are probably better than the AAA only. Yay for Fall rates.

Thanks again.

I had booked a AAA package a week ago today, and it was 200 less than Disney price [incuding dining package] then when the codes came out I called AAA yesterday and told them to call Disney and put it under the code instead, they did and saved me another almost $400 over the AAA price.

I also had my AAA TA call and check and she got me an extra $115 off our package at POFQ, 6 nights, 6 day hopper with dining

Not a lot of money but a couple bottles of wine! Also makes me happy that the AAA rates are pretty good to start with.

good luck with the codes everyone!

If you used a code discount then you were switched from the AAA rate to the code rate. Discounts cannot be combined.

Does anyone know if there is a 5 night minumum with the packages to get the cheaper rates?

I have the Visa ZQM package and we are only staying 4 nights. I thought I had read on a previous thread that there ws a 3 night minimum.

For the rate to the general public yes it is a five night minimum
