Feel like the Discount Fairy Skipped me!

[Disney Mommy 3]

Should we try again?

I would keep trying...we had to call three times before we finally got someone to work with us and look at the different codes. The first CM I called tried to tell me I already had the AP rate on my ressie (which I knew wasn't true). As I've learned with all things Disney, keep calling until you get the answer you want...you're bound to get something eventually.

I have the same ressies and was told nothing applied to the Contemporary(Oct 25-Nov 2) what gives?

When I was first looking, the only thing at the CR was a hospitality suite. I think it just depends on what the availability is when you call.

Maybe there is no availability for the dates you're going. We already had a package booked, but added the discounted code yesterday around 10:00 a.m. Our trip has been booked since early July.

Yeah, the Discount Fairy avoids my house like the plague! I tried desperately to get SOME kind of a discount for both my October 2007 trip and my March 2008 trip.

I called to try and apply the AAA discount, the Disney Visa discount, and the regular discount codes that become available to the public. Not one of those was available for either of my trips.

When I called about the October trip, they said that the Disney Visa discount was available if I switched from CSR to SSR.....I was like, umm..ok the point here is to SAVE money - not spend more of it! While I can appreciate the fact that getting the discount on SSR would be helpful to some, for us to change from CSR to SSR would have been an increase in price of over $1000...WITH THE DISCOUNT at SSR.

When I called for our March trip, they said that the AAA rate was available if we switched to AKL!! Why would I switch from POFQ to AKL, and tack on an additional $2000, just to save 10%? Once again - I'd be spending more to apply the discount, than staying where I was without it.
