Early August Code?

[djm99]

I don't think FREE Dining is realistic for my Aug 6-12th trip, but a FREE ticket upgrade would be grand. That will save me $200 and would help toward some really nice meals.

I am getting confused, sorry. I *think* I have heard people talking about getting discount codes for August (my head is starting to hurt from trying to read all the posts), are these available to all? Currently we have a 15% off AAA rate.

Does anyone know of any other discounts for August aside from the free DDP and the AAA rate?

There was a 40% code out but it expired March 15th. It saved us $400 but I'm really praying for free dining, but it looks like my dates are just a tad to early.

I didn't get the 40% code, it would have been fantastic if we had

what was the 40% off discount that expired march 15th? we early august disneyers will probably not receive a thing other than AAA but i'm still hoping. And if you already booked a trip with disney, it would make no sense that they'd send you a pin-code for a discount. sorry, but lets face it. we're stuck with AAA

Looking for a DEAL for our trip August 18-24 (or so).....Please keep us informed! Keeping my fingers crossed !

Subscribing - will probably try to go as we take our son to college down in Fla. Not so sure about the hot temps there that time of year - Houston is almost unbearable in August....am sure Orlando is too - anyone been there his time of year?

We went August last year, it was very hot - just make sure you drink loads of water and keep going inside for the air-conditioning

Since school starts Aug 22nd we will be there 10-18. I have AAA so we get 20% off but I want BIGGER discounts. Anyone have any? If you book now and a discount comes out is there a fee to apply the discount? I did call in early March for info and was never told anything about a 40% off?!

August is very hot, but you can definitely get relief from the heat, there are plenty of AC options in the parks! Once, my daughter and I just rode the Tomorrowland tram(?) (former wedway people mover) over and over because we were so hot and tired!

We have a trip planned for 8/4-8/13. We have AAA rate. I just called to modify our reservation and I asked about a room only discount possibility since we're missing the free dining promotion. The CM said, "They don't tell us anything...but there will probably be something announced in June." Who knows if or what but at least we can have some hope!

We went early August last year and FL is hot...but so is Philly so we're conditioned to it. In face, Philly was smack in the middle of a heat wave last year the week we went and when we got to FL, it was cooler ! We left 98-101 degrees and landed to 88-92 degrees. Alot of the CM's were joking about it. I was in line at the OKW general store and behind a couple from Chicago who also said it was hotter and more humid there that week.

Philly also tends to be quite humid in July and August so, like I said...we're pretty conditioned to it. Drink lots of water ! Try and do your park visiting from 8 am to noon. Then go back to the room for a rest and come back after 5 pm. It's definitely doable.

That's what I'm thinking too. Many people will cancel the early Aug to book the free dining. The good thing is that the last few early Augusts have been "light" or mid-crowds, but not heavy. I would be shocked if we didn't get something during early August. If the crowds were like last year - we are going to have sooooooooo much fun, with little wait.

I'm thinking crowds won't be too bad either. (I'm going 8/20 to 8/30). I've been trying not to get too depressed about free DDP as I was at WDW during the bounceback program but never heard about it. SO...now I'm telling myself I've already received a discount because Disney started the value season for values and moderates so much earlier this year and I am booked with AAA discount. That way if there is a discount I'll be and if they don't I won't be too depressed again.

I spoke to CM Calhoun on Monday who told me the same thing, late May or June keep checking back.......25% off would be nice.....it all depends on numbers of reservations then....

I will miss the FD, will be there 8/17 - 8/21. I am not booking anything yet. I am going to wait and see what happens. DH said since we can't get any deal and we were there just last summer why not go to US/IOA. I'm going to just wait and see what happens.

I'm on the look out for an AP discount. Anyone else?

It wasn't worth me getting the AP rate last year as it was the same as my AAA rate and I didn't plan to visit more than once a year .

 

[Lesprivate]

Count me in on the AP discount
