Has anyone ever seen/used codes, pins, etc. for Thanksgiving weekend, or is that weekend always blacked out? I see that one of the current discounts through the end of the year blacks out 11/24-11/28, which are, of course, the dates I need. :sad2: Do I have any chance whatsoever in getting a discount over that weekend??
 
I went Thanksgiving week 2008. Thanksgiving was on the 27th that year. There was a discount for people checking in by Saturday the 22nd, valid for the length of their stay. Discounts then continued beginning Mon 12/01.

Hope this helps.
 
Thanks for the response! Yeah, that's what I've assumed...that if you check in prior to the blackout dates you can still use the discount throughout those dates. My problem is we can't check in before 11/25, and this year the last day of the discount (I'm looking at the 20-30-40 dates) is 11/23. I think we may be out of luck, but I heard Disney lifted Easter blackout dates once and was wondering if it had ever been done over Thanksgiving.
 

Last year we booked the free dining offer through our disney visa and we got it for Thanksgiving weekend.

Thanks, that's good to know, though we don't have a Disney Visa (DH refuses to deal with Chase). Do you know if that offer ever opened up to the public?

That promo was offered last year to GP however, I think it included thanksgiving weekend but don't quote me on that.
 
we were there last year beginning on the Sunday after thanksgiving and had free dining..hoping for that this year too!!!! :)

Good luck to you...hope you get this! :) We wouldn't be able to take advantage of this if they offer it beginning after Thanksgiving because we will be staying offsite that week. The dates we could stay onsite are pretty much set in stone, exactly over TG weekend, so unless they totally lift the blackout dates we won't have an onsite discount. I'm hoping, because it would be our first onsite visit, but we'll probably have to decide if we're willing to pay rack rate onsite, or find something less expensive offsite.
