Feb 2009 code watch

Nicely done! That's what I wanted to do with WL.

I really wasn't shooting for OKW. I just took the most affordable for us.
I didn't want to pay more for an upgrade.

It was either OKW or SSR. I don't know squat about either place!!!
But what the heck go for it!

Sorry if this has already been asked but if I already booked a trip though AAA can they just apply the discount and will I still get the $200 gift card? My trip is 2/24-3/4. Thanks

I would like to know the answer to this one also.

Me too!! Can't wait to hear from my travel agent.

I had a AP rate at the Polynesian and we just applied the new discount and saved almost $500! We also got the $200 gift card!! I am so excited.

Good luck to you all!

This package doesn't offer us any savings at all. We're staying for 9 nights on a combination of 4 nights at ASMo (week ends) for cash and 5 nights at BWV on rented points. I bought 8 day hoppers through undercover tourist. I guess we could have saved $350 by staying at ASMo the whole time.

So nice to get up and not stress... my package is finalized and paid for. Now I have a total of 91 days to wait.
Thanks again to all of you guys for all the helpful info. The savings really did help me out.

The CM I talked to told me that I could use my gift card on anything within the world. Even alcohol. That gift card is amazing... so thrilled with that.

woohoo

We saved $550 for our Feb trip, and we get a $200 gift card...........does anyone know when we get the gift card? Just wondering if I could use it for Christmas-gotta get the kids shirts and pins before the trip! Or do we just get it on check in? I went through Disney.com and we are staying at POR!!
2 years ago we stayed at AllStar Music in a Family Suite for $3100 and this time for the same amount of time we are staying for almost 1/2 that price!!! DH doesn't think I am so crazy after all!!! Good luck to everyone else!

 

[LovinPooh]

We get the gift card upon check in.
congrats on the savings!

Spent almost an hour on the phone yesterday with Linda Lou...yes she said that was her real name! She was great...saved over $700 plus got the $200 card...sweet!

My question is this...she told me she would send an updated email confirmation...haven't gotten it yet...how long should I wait before I contact them?

 

[LovinPooh]

I havent gotten a updated email confirmation yet either. I went and checked the website though and everythign was good. I did however print out a copy of that. At this point I dont think we will get updated email confirmations.

Havent gotten my either, but checked on disney website and the discount is reflected there

 

[SRICE100]

So excited. Just upgraded from CSR to Poly for only $300 more!!!

Even DH is excited- something about the monorail is very appealing to him.

Anyway, what an awesome deal. Any by the time I get the $200 gift card, it really isn't that much more money. (well still a lot of money when you look at the total, but we were planning to spend it anyway- sigh).

I might not tell DD and DS, leave it as a surprise until we go.

 

[tynkendallsmom]

Okay so here's my question- If you're using the code but staying less than seven nights- say you're going to do buy four nights get ONE free- Do you still get the $200 gift card?

This promo isn't the best for me, but if I get ONE night free PLUS $200 (which is about my spending money budget) Then at least that's SOMETHING.

The other question I have is, has anyone asked about upgrading the 'buy 4 get three free' park tix to an AP?

This is my question too - I called them and did get my 5th night free (we are only staying 5) but they never mentioned the GC and I guess neither did I. I wonder if I should call back and see if we qualify? Guess it doesn't hurt!

 

[volleygirl]

So we did it! We had already purchased park tickets from undercover tourist as well. However, the room only rate vs. the new tickets plus same room was still 250 cheaper plus the gift card. So now we have extra tickets to use next time around!

I also didn't get an email confirmation, but I'm not worried. I would guess you can use the gift card for alcohol since they said it was valid anywhere on the grounds. And I'd also guess we won't be getting the card until check in.

But I'm no expert. Just real happy I got to save money!

I just called them back - I got the $200 GC as well!! I'm happy - well, mostly - wishing we would have not booked our airline tickets right away so we could have extended our stay a bit but oh well - we are saving $294!!!

 

[MandieinDaphne]

I was so excited when I got this email this morning and YES we took the offer!!! Congrats to everyone on their discounts!

Good Morning Mandie,
We received a promotion from Disney last night for the time that you will be there. For an extra $30.00 you can add two extra days (with tickets and dining plan) to your vacation and also receive a $200.00 gift card to be used at participating areas in the Disney World parks and resorts. Please let me know if this is something that you would be interested in so I can upgrade you package.

Thanks for the info!
I called and made the switch- Got to keep my preferred room in Pop *dances*

For less than $200 more than my original room-only ressie, I've added on trip insurance and my park hoppers. When you figure that they're giving me a $200 gift card when I get there, that pretty much means I got my park hopper and trip ins. for free! YAY!

So okay, this deal is maybe better than I thought it was. YAY DISNEY! Now I'm happy.

My Disney agent was Katie and she was super duper nice.

NICE HELPFUL TA!!! MY AAA TA is out of town and the person covering for her is obviously not trying to be very helpful at all! I received this e-mail this morning:

I just called Disney. She said the package that you are confirmed at, is not available for the special promotion. At this time, you have the lowest rate available for your package.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Have a nice day.

That's o.k. - I booked on my own and save almost $500 plus the $200 gift card!
