Free DDP -new option-post #22

[wayneg]

No idea if prices are any good but its available with Virgin holidays and Travelcity, maybe its a Virgin group exclusive as its not available on disney.co.uk

Its also possible they have increased cost of packages to make it look like free dining, I have not checked.

Whow.....this is soooo interesting....


Thank you...

Not another option ! Had a look but includes flight & doesn't let you proceed if you just want hotel.

I think it maybe a package deal....I'm not sure...I too would like it to be a resort only booking....

I am sure it will be as a package, don't think Virgin ever offer free DDP on hotel only. Thats why I checked if it was on Disney.co.uk as with them you should be able to, but can't see it on their site.

seems you're not allowed UC flights, or car hire with these packages. odd!

Probably a website glitch, not unknown for Virgin.

Still not had time to look, (sorry its Mothers day this weekend, I have no time for anything) but I think that is just from that page, try searching from the main search engine, it does say this below so should be on all bookings.
This offer is based on bookings made between 16th March - 15th July 2009 for stays completed between 02nd August - 17th December 2009

did you try the TCD direct site? seems the VH site isnt offering all the options at the moment.

 

[karentan]

i checked TCD for the same dates as i was looking for on virgin and it was more expensive!!! hoping that virgin may extend their dates to what it actually says on the bottom of their page!

 

[paulh]

just checked the car hire and usrentacar comes out cheaper
Wayne my kids arnt getting the wife flowers there getting her a digital tire inflator for mothers day,should make it a bit easyer for you florists

ouch, I just went to price this up for my parents just out of curiousity to see if they would be better switching.

at the moment they're at pop for 15 nights, paid for the full dining plan, from manchester in economy, it's around £3200 for the 2 of them.

just rang to price up saratoga springs to get the free dining plan, it's around £5300

eeek, i wonder if it's because it's over half-term and the flights have gone up since we booked?!! I know it's a "posher" resort, but previously there seemed to be some pretty good deals on saratoga springs....
