Thanks. I actually signed up for a reminder, but never got it. Did anyone else?

I leave for WDW on May 2, so the next time will probably be on May 3rd. I hope we all do better next time. But at least we all had our "trial run", so we should be prepared if the offer comes up again.

I did sign up for a reminder and also did not get one.

And I agree, the site should have put a disclaimer up ahead of time letting people know there was only a limited amount. I was clicking "submit" exactly at noon and continued to do so for a full 30 min (something I never would have done had I known there was such a small amount).

Wow - sounds like I'm glad I didn't even try to get tix. We had discussed it and decided that since our group was 7 (instead of the 6 allowed) that we would save this for another trip.

As a side note - I have to admit that Disney really knows what they are doing when they make addiitonal days on tix so cheap. One of our strongest arguments for not going to SW was becuase an extra day on our WDW tix would be only about $6 instead of the $35 for SW! (Despite 15+ trips in the past 5 years they still know how to keep even us there )

Wow! I actually got an e-mail reminder today at 11:30 PM for the noon giveaway. Let's see if it continues for the rest of the promotion.

Those of you who got in on this deal...have you received your e-mail with the tickets yet? I received confirmation of the purchase that day which said we would receive the tickets in 3 days. Nothing yet--it'll be a week tomorrow.

Nope, haven't received them yet. I sent an email asking about it though.

I just got a response. They are working on getting them all issued and they should be done by tomorrow. So I guess check back tomorrow if not later today.

Got the email with the tickets around 11 am this morning. YAY!

We were one of the lucky ones at 12noon to get the Universal ticket deal!

Thank you Jean (JekJones) for posting this! Myself and my daughter were both on laptops trying to get in. On the 10 second countdown, she was in and I was locked out. (Obviously faster and younger fingers!) Before 12:01, it was saying try again, and by 12:09 it was saying sold out! So if you weren't in on the first millisecond, you didn't get this one.

This deal came just in time for our May trip. We are looking forward to checking out Harry Potter before we check into BLT. Staying at Portofino Bay first.

They must've been getting a lot of flack over this. Now when you click on the offer, it says in red letters how many will be available. Like tomorrow for the Hyatt offer, the top one says only 15 available. The Universal offer on the 26th (3 days for $87) says only 60 available.Seriously?! I would think there will be A LOT of people competing for those. You can buy up to 6. So basically, they could sell all of them and only 10 people get the deal.

And there's only 8 of the US package deals--which is a pretty dang good deal if it falls when you need it (it doesn't work for us).

WOW.

Tried both offers, lost out on both. Congrats to those that were able to get something.

Congratulations! That is a GREAT deal! If we had been doing Universal this year, I would've jumped at trying for these.

I got one. I paid $78 with my AMX discount.
