I am no novice to WDW. I've spent over 100 nights at WDW over the years, so I'd say I'm a fairly frequent visitor. Ive also owned a travel agency for a little while now, and while I don't work hands on in the office, I feel fairly comfortable with my understanding of Disney policies and booking promotions.
I tell all of this to say that this morning I was thrown for a loop. My brother, who owns an R.V and is a frequent visitor to FW, called to make a one week vacation reservation for December. He was offered a rate that the CM at CRO called a "Frequent Visitor's Discount." He got a preferred campsite for $39/night including tax, which is better than traditional AP rates, though not as good as the "Winter Settler Rates."
I called to verify that he didn't accidentally book with my TA discount (he does use my IATA number for bookings, but just so that I can refund him the commission). He was right about his rate, and though the CM didn't anything about the Frequent Visitor's Discount, it s listed as a promotional rate.
Has anyone else heard of this before? Is it possible that a program similar to this may replace the codes that we've become familiar with? Or maybe this is just something for FW as a manager's special? Anyway, I just wanted to get your thoughts on this.
