[Xalthon]

So is there confirmation about a Castaway Club discount and a D23 discount? I did not see either of those mentioned in any official documents.

D23 has been around for awhile and has not expired yet.

The Castaway Club offer seems to possibly be a discount that is offered for the Members Cruise in Nov. (I don’t know this officially)

Boardwalk continues to dazzle even the toughest critics.

It's almost October. We'll see....

I just posted my BWV trip report ch-check it out if interested

 

[Girlstar30]

Glad to see you’re still around! You were very active when I first started posting and I had noticed that you had not been on here for a while. Nice to see you again!

Nice to see you again too! Glad to be back!

I seem to remember you actually called my Boardwalk contract with double points at 105pp a terrible deal and then blocked me so you wouldn’t see the response….

Glad to see I'm in good company

To bring this thread back on track.
Looks like the $1,500 Visa credit for CFW is no more.
The D23 discount is still valid but I think everyone knew that as it says so directly on the “coupon” that it’s valid through the end of the year.
Anyone know of any other incentives?
Do we think we will see something offered mid-cycle?

My 2 emails had different savings, I cannot locate the one email that had bigger savings.

Okay I found it, the difference was one was just telling me the savings on 250 points and the other on 150 points. Funny the 250 was sent to me and the 150 to my husband.

My guide proactively gave me a call with the new pricing - he shared that for Poly you can save $1000 for being a Castaway Club member. I hear at times they offer D23 Gold and WDW Annual Pass incentives as well. Where can you find a list of those offers?

Wait, WHAT?!? You get $1000 off for being in Castaway Club?!? I haven't seen this anywhere. Is it new? How have I never heard of it before?

I saw another comment that you had to be booked for a member cruise in November to qualify. Is that true? Does this discount stack with any other discounts? Is it possible to retroactively apply this discount to a purchase that hasn't fully closed yet? Inquiring minds want to know...

D23 is definitely still there. $500 off, and you can get D23 Gold for free if you're a Disney+ subscriber.

Me too.
I was very much enjoying the break.

I would call and ask your guide. I’m thinking it likely requires you being on the member cruise, but better safe than sorry. Let us know what you found out.

Not too surprised that the incentives are worse during this ebb of the annual cycle, but slightly surprised that the CFW incentives are worse too? I would have expected that given the pace of sales, there would have been some effort to keep the net price per point close to or the same as last cycle and have CFW stand out this cycle as "the best deal". I guess they know something I don't. Either way, glad I bought CFW last cycle.

Correction on this we toured the longhouses I got confused with the name. They are no longer allowing people to look at the bungalows apparently they told me they ended that week. I asked a few people and it was a hard no But we were happy we got to see the stitch rooms!

In my opinion, you're not missing anything at the Bungalows compared to the 2 bdrm villa at the Poly Tower. Last year when I first bought DVC I was staying at the Bungalows a lot (always available!) and I thought it was the best thing on property. Then the Poly Tower opened and I shifted to Theme Park View 1 and 2 bdrm stays. You have to own there to get the peak times in those rooms, but they are not hard to book the rest of the year at 7 months. I think the Theme Park View from the Poly Tower is better than the Bungalows view and obviously the Tower rooms are newer too. Overall, I'm not going back to the Bungalows. My new favorites are the Copper Creek cabins when not in the Poly Tower.

Wow thats good to know!! I thought for sure the bungalows view would be better because it's so close, is it because it's lower to the ground? Thanks for taking that FOMO away, but makes sense, those Island tower rooms are the best rooms ive stayed at imo as well!

FYI my coupon book has the D23 discount valid thru 2026. I just signed up in August.
