I just go my reservation confirmation and it says MYW Pagk+Special Dine-VISA

I do not have a disney visa and never even mentioned a disney visa to the cm on the phone this morning.

do I need to call back and get it fixed?

I would, yes. For that VISA package, the deposit and balance need to be paid on the Disney VISA -- if I were you it would give me peace of mind to know they have the correct code!

Good luck!

I just called (and was on hold for 45 minutes) and spoke to a wonderful CM and was all set to change my reservation for the FD discount - saved me just under $1000!! - and she said that they had some good AP discounts so she checked to see which was better - I have now saved $1100 with the AP discount and paying for dining! I am so excited...I may add on a day!

If this situation applies to anyone else..check and see which deal saves you more cash - it totally worked out for me!!!

Have a magical day all!!!

Star2500, not sure if I misunderstood - did you say there's also a pkg. code released today? If so, what's the discount?

My Dreams U. TA emailed me this morning that she got us free dining (wasn't even sure I wanted it, but she got it anyway - she's great!), but even a measly 25% discount off rack rate would actually save us and the 2 sets of grandparents much more since we're staying at the GF...

Do you have any info. that can help - I'm getting the sweats trying to do the best for my parents and in-laws...

Thanks!

just ignore this

 

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

Is it just me?

I called and added the free dining to my reservation. came to $2206 for Nov 12-20, 1 adult 1x6yr 1x8yr, POFQ, dining, park passes (NO hopper or waterparks) tax.

I just priced out on line, with the room discount only. I kept adding....1st added the park passes, then added the dining.

The total that I am getting is: $2153.34 for the same thing. using the room discount, and paying for our dining. Does that make sense?!

Marie, you should check the website. I too prefer a room only discount. I just searched my dates on the Disney site for a room only reservation. I called and changed my reservation I was able to save quite a bit. The woman told me the code was KHP.

Thank you f155robyn and Keywestbride for your advice. I am on the phone right now , and my fingers are crossed (wich makes it very difficult for me to type this message! !

The CM I talked to this morning was not as useful as yours. She told me there was nothing she could do if I did not have a code for her....

Hi Phyllis....yes there's a Fall Room Only discount...averaging 35% on select resorts. That should save 2 Adults more than the Free Dining. Free Dining is saving them $80/night. even 30% off a room rate at grand floridian can be more savings

I'd check into it definitely and compare.

They might have added insurance automatically.

PRICE IT OUT FOLKS! Free dining may not be the best deal for your situation!!

By booking under the 'room only' discount, then ADDING park passes, and ADDING dining, my package price is $50 cheaper!

$50 is an excursion or 'emerg' money tucked away....I will take it!

 

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

Nope.

It is actually cheaper! Go figure!!!

I just called, and she said "wait you are right! " she even double checked it. So I am changed over to the room discount, and paying for dining, (which AGAIN I may not want. it may be cheaper for me to NOT pay for dining, since I know i won't spend money on desserts etc. )

So today I am going to price out dining vs no dining and paying out of pocket.

I figure if it is within $50 either way , i will keep it so that I don't have to budget with money on hand while I am there.

 

[star2500]

Oh definitely price it out both ways....depends on resorts, etc.

I thought you were comparing the same discount online vs. on the phone.

 

[phyllis1966]

Thanks star2500 - I already have a MYW pkg. booked, though, so don't I have to wait for a pkg. discount code to be released?

Yup! Doing it this way saved us $95 vs. free dining

No...you can get it applied. The discount will only be on the room portion. Call and ask them to apply it.

Great!

 

[livie1205]

we come out better NOT doing free dining...we have the AP 40% off pin.I am going to pop for 6 nights with reg dining for 900.00.If I used free dining I would be paying 109 plus tax for the room,20.00 extra to upgrade to reg dining per night and 1 day tix for my dh and myself.so it is not really worth it to stay on the phone forever to change it.

 

[star2500]

Definitely compare the discounts....the resort, which dining plan you have, etc. can all make some difference in saving a little more money.

And even if you get one applied, take a breath and then price it with the other promo....just so things don't get confusing

 

[phyllis1966]

Thanks so much, star2500 - I've emailed my TA...if this is 35% off, which is substantially more than FD, I wonder why she did the FD instead?

 

[star2500]

It's hard sometimes....to know what everyone exactly wants. To some people there is more value for the Free Dining if the difference isn't that much because they could be spending way more than what the Dining Plan actually costs. To some people who don't eat too much....they would never spend that much on food anyway...so not as much worth to them.

Sometimes there are no availability for certain resorts with the Room Only.....or for the Free Dining..there are MANY factors to take into consideration.

But nothing wrong with just double checking.
