Got a code, BUT......

[thesaurinis]

I got a code today after calling over the past week atleast 5 times. I am knda disappointed over it though. I got a 40% off and its only off the room rate. So in reality I am only saving $50 from the difference of our AAA rate.

Is this what is happening to everyone else? I was all excited, but now I am not. I was hoping to save atleast a 150-200. I guess beggers cant be choosers.

Um, no offense, but it doesn't get much better than a 40% off - unless you wind up getting some kind of room upgrade upon arrival.

The 40% off room works best with high priced rooms. While saving 40% on a value resort ressie on a standard room during value season would only save you about $32/night, for some people this is the difference between going to Disney or not.

From what I can tell, Free Dining is the best deal for those staying in a Value, 40% off for those staying in a Deluxe - Moderates are USUALLY better for the 40%, I think.

The BEST deal, from what I can remeber, are the Buy a 4 night package, get 3 free - ah, to dream of that happening again!

 

[CampbellScot]

yep...40% is the best deal for those staying at deluxe resorts. It makes a pretty nice difference on the higher priced rooms.

congrats on the discount!

 

[LuvsTinker]

Are you only going for a couple of nights?

When I called back to change from AAA to 40% off, the additional 20% off above AAA saved us an additional $200.00 (6 nights at CBR)

 

[Aliceacc]

40% roughly translates to "almost half."

So if you're staying at a value, paying $80 per night, then 40% off is a reduction of about $32 per night.

Up it to a $300 per night room and the discount becomes $120 per night.

I would be happy with 40% discount! I've been calling twice a day for a week. DW has also been calling. Same answer every time "No codes are attached to your name". Be happy you received it. Many of us here were not so lucky. Have a great time!

Either you're not doing the math right.. or you didn't get a 40% off code, but actually a 20% off code..

As noted here.. unless you're only staying one night.. you should save at LEAST double your AAA discount (which is 10 to 20% off room only) with a 40% off code.

Please dont get me wrong. I am thankful I got a code, but it just doesnt seem like its adding up.

I got a price of 2500 something for AAA price and 40% off was 2462.68 through Disney. thats at POR

A value was 2200 something and thru Disney was 2406.24.

It just seems like everyone else is getting bigger savings. I am not sure which i am booking just yet. Should know by tonite though.

 

[Colinsmom]

Yeah, the numbers aren't adding up. Perhaps you are going during a blackout when the code does not apply, but just picking up one night at the end at the code rate or something.

If you post all your ressie details - dates, ages of guests, types of tickets, dining, etc., I'm sure that someone would check the quotes for you. Or you can do it yourself on disneyworld.com

 

[Fionasmommy]

Are they adding in trip insurance? Disney likes to do that, I know they've done it to me without even asking if I want it.

 

[StrwLady]

When are you going and for how many days?

 

[thesaurinis]

I was looking at 4/1-4/6 staying at POR or Value with 6 day hopper passes NO water park and dining plan. Thats for 4 (2 adults and 2 kids 4 1/2 & 11 1/2). No insurance. I still keep trying to figure the quoted price and its not coming out right unless I am doing it wrong. Please help if you can.

 

[Aliceacc]

I just hit the site with your info. AT POR, with the info you gave, I get an original price of $1752.82, of which $918 is hotel. Take 40% off that and you should be getting a price of 550.80 for hotel. So you should be saving in the neighborhood of $367, for a new total of about $1385. It should be about $150 better than the AAA offer of 20%.

Does someone else want to run the numbers as well? I'm a math teacher, but a Disney rookie.

 

[Charleyann]

I am going from Dec 7th- Dec 15th. Total would be $1529.44. (Movies)I got our room at All Star Movies for $509.00 in a preferred room for the above rates total! That is a savings of $1019.00. I myself think that is great savings be it a deluxe or the value it is!

Certainly better the AAA and a kick in the butt!

Ask the CM you talk to to do the math. The one I talked to told me I was getting 40% off, even quoted the hotel price that would have been 40%, but it didnt add up right. When I asked her to explain why she had to put me oon hold and then said I really go the 20% off code. But that was odd because the price she told me for the hotle was "right" - the computer just wouldnt let it go thru at that price....sadly, I didnt book it since it wasnt right.

Good luck!!!

I was putting in package prices. The actually total cost would have been $850.00. I saved about $341.00 and got a preferred room to boot!

Still happy with that savings!
