We are going January 30th-February 6th!! Staying at the CR!! We just came back from a May 09 trip at POFQ- They had record high heats and it was the hottest I have ever been in Disney! I am really looking forward to being in Disney w/o the heat. We had the 4/3 deal and I really HOPE that is going to be released again. Does anyone know when it was released last year? When I made my reservation, the CM was STRONGLY hinting that something would be released and that I should keep checking the website and call back when I hear of a promotion. I was able to book my flights on Jet Blue- they are booking further out than usual...and I got all 4 tickets for $750.00

Good luck to everyone in getting some good deals for our upcoming trips... It's only 7 months away!!!!

I just booked my airfare Detroit to Orlando for about the same as you! I am thrilled, it is a good price for non-stop flights and on the exact days we wanted to go Feb. 20-27!

Now.... I just have to agonize this waiting for a code/deal for our rooms. I am hoping for a room only rate, or 4/3 deal. I think I will book CSR with AAA discount which is what I can afford in my budget, need 2 rooms this trip. Would really love to stay at S/D if they offer something more affordable that week. Pretty sure no deal will make BWI or BC affordable for me this trip but that's ok, been there before.

Really excited about going back, our first trip in 4 years to WDW!

Congrats!! I was so excited about the airfare- and with a good promo this trip is going to be pretty affordable!! I check on here daily for a rumor to start about the promo or any news of one being released!!!

Wait a minute! I thought the last 4/3 deal was for value resorts only, but it looks like some of you got deluxe resorts in there?? Does anyone know if it applied to DVC rentals? We're booked at ASMU-Family suites, but if we could get a 4/3 at VWL, we might just splurge to pay any difference. The heck with the dining plan, the 5 year old doesn't eat anything but chicken nuggets anyway.

And Disney's gotta know we want a PIN, we're on every mailing list they've got except for AP. We've got the VISA card, Disney Movie Club, FamilyFunMagazine, etc.

Waiting with the rest of you...

Can't wait!!! Just came home from the WL in March and had an amazing time. We're looking to be in Disney Feb. 10th - 17th and staying at WL or Poly. Has anyone been there at that time? How are the crouds and weather?

We always went about that time and loved it -I'm not sure if we just got lucky but the weather was always nice enough for shorts (I'm from MN.) about 73 to mid 80's I think in 5 years of 12 day trips I wore only pants 2 X and it rained shortly 1X and poured rain 1X
Hope this helps

It was for all resorts...but I can't speak to the DVC rentals. Don't know anything about them.

 

[rbramblett]

First trip for February 6-13. Haven't told the DS (6&10) yet. Can't wait

 

[EpcotMatt2]

Bumping.

 

[Madsofa]

May be heading to Swan & Dolphin for a conference in February - trying to talk my DH into coming and of course bringing our girls. A code could sway the answer to yes!

 

[k_reile]

if you are waiting on a code...the buy 4 get 3 free is the best deal. there is a disney visa cardholder 40% off but the buy 4 deal was better for us.

 

[RunningthruDisney]

Just found out there are be another family trip in planning for February and we are Low on DVC points- Looking for a code

 

[tinacaplan]

Still thrilled wit the the 4/3 deal we got...what originally started out being a five night trip is now seven, for less than we had originally planned on spending! And it seems that no deal can make a Deluxe affordable, so this worked out really well for us. We also snagged an amazing deal on airfare through Disney, no less. On Delta, too.

I am pretty happy with my 4/3 deal too. I had really wanted to try the S/D and had booked Swan AAA rate of $221 (all fees/taxes included) but needed two rooms so that made it $442 per night - ouch!

When 4/3 came out I snagged CSR, 2 rooms works out to about $149 night per room for overall savings of $994. I keep checking for a deal at S/D but getting invested in CSR now. My kids like the look of the pool and don't seem bothered by not being in the Epcot resort area.

Disney is a very expensive trip no matter what and so far I am happy with my airfare (@$800 for 4 non-stop tickets) and my 4/3. Also will have about $500 in Visa points to spend on food.

I read that room-only AP discounts for Feb usually come out around Halloween. Anyone heard anything yet?? I'm waiting to book a February weekend and I'm getting anxious!

 

[CherylA]

Gosh still nothing on AP rates. Right now I'm booked ofsite for Feb 15-21. I'm hearing talk of some Feb Disney Visa discount codes but those expire Feb 11? Anyone had luck booking something later than that with the Disney Visa code?

 

[babyruth]

is the general consensus then that the 4/3 deal is cheaper than using the pin? i just priced a pin package and it didn't seem like a deal to me.
