for special rates? There's been a lot of talk about this and I was wondering how many have got them and how many haven't.

I'm one of the have nots. However, I did get a postcard from Disney for a free year of their magazine a few weeks ago. :rolleyes:

I just got one that broke my heart (since we can't go during the time frame). It was $124. for "select deluxe resorts" from some time in April until the beginning of July. The AKL was the featured resort on the postcard. It KILLS me to not be able to take advantage of it but we can't. It has a PIN # so it wouldn't be good for anyone else. Bummer :(
 
I got one a few years ago. It was a great deal, but my DW and I couldn't take vacation during the time it was available.
 
Yep, purely by accident! I had already made a reservation at a moderate. Got a phone call from my travel agent (I had made my own ressie) and she told me that she got a postcard with my name on it at her business address. I decided to switch! It was for AKL (I think $109 per night?).

The funny thing is.............the travel agent hadn't done anything for me for 1.7 years (since our last trip)........but she went to the trouble of trying to locate me to let me know! Bless her heart!!!
 

Just got one for the first time this week, after going to WDW 22 times since 1985. It was for $70/night at the moderates, tax not included, but I was able to upgrade it to a deluxe if I so wished. I used it for POR for $82.51/night tax included. I could have booked AKL for $124/night tax included, or WL woods view for $139 night tax included. I really wanted to stay at either AKL or WL, but DH thought we should go with the moderate since we had just been to WDW. Since I have never stayed at POR before, I agreed.:D
 
I have gotten several, but have not been able to use them. I received them twice for the moderates, and once for the deluxes.
 
We have never gotten a discount postcard. {sob} However my daughter and son in law get them at their house all of the time. Unfortunately they are addressed to the previous owners of the house. {drat!} Another odd thing was that my son received one once and he has never booked a Disney trip in his life. Too bad no one had any vacation time coming with that one or we would have all begged him to book a trip. LoL
 
Nada, none zip, I wish I would get one even if I couldn't use it. :teeth:
 
We received a postcard in 2000 for the Contemporary for $79! We happened to be planning a trip to WDW during the dates on the postcard but planning to stay at All Stars. The best part is, when we went to check in at the Contemporary the CM told us there were no more non-smoking rooms, but he thought we'd like the room he gave us. It was a SUITE!!! It was so huge it was like an apartment--corner room, living room, dining room, HUGE bathroom--it was AWESOME! Every time the phone rang I thought we were going to be kicked out! LOL The only other postcard we received was for AKL for its grand opening and we weren't able to travel on those dates. Wish we'd get another one for our upcoming trip..."please, Mr. Postman!":Pinkbounc
 
I have never been to WDW and received a postcard two weeks ago for the value resorts. I also received the 7 for 4 offer for the Disney Visa.

We are planning our first trip in August, hopefully using the 7 for 4.
 
I received a postcard in 2001.

We did use it! Got a great rate of $169 for The Beach Club.
 
I have gotten a few of them, some that indicate that were only good for the value, then I got one that was good for all levels of resorts and then last year I got one for the moderates for $79.00 a night, I used it for my stay at the POR.

I have not gotten one this year yet, I wonder if you get taken off the mailing list once you finally use one?
 
No, but I wish we would. This year we are staying at the swan so maybe disney will miss us at the poly and send us one, I seriously doubt it though, just wishful disney dreaming.
 
Hmmmm, I'm just noticing that I don't see anyone from my neck of the woods receiving postcards......maybe I should stop taking it personally.:rolleyes:
 
I have received a couple of e-mails, though, for special offers with PIN #s. Unfortunately, I couldn't use them. I keep hoping for one now!
 
I received postcards a few years ago for the Beach Club. I haven't received any since then.
 
Yes and it was for a time I couldn't use...go figure!
 
Received and never been able to use! We received one this year in my husband's name (I haven't booked a vacation in his name in years). It was for spring and we are already going in June.

We received one for a fall promotion one year after we had just returned from our annual June vacation--not good timing when you just spent a load of cash at WDW.

The common denominators: The cards have always been in my husband's name. I haven't booked a vacation in his name since maybe 94 or 95. He has an AP about to expire in April, too.
