I Got A Postcard

[donac]

I got a postcard in the mail yesterday fromDisney advertising $49 a night for Nov through Dec with some blackout periods such as Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving. Now the only bad part is I can't use it.

Wow- another postcard? Anyone get one? The old code had to be booked by the 13th I think- or something like that. I'm surprised they sent out new ones this close to the time period of the dates! Too bad you can't take advantage of teh great rates!

bummer
Every Postcard I have ever gotten is for when we dont go. I wish I could get one for spring or summer.

Every post card I get from them is for the Disney Cruise line

That's what I'd like to know. Anyone know where to sign up at?

NOBODY KNOWS!! it's luck of the draw w/disney... there seems to be no rhyme or reason... they just come out of the blue... and quite often w/misinformation (wrong name or child's name instead of adult, incorrect address, etc)... email "postcards" have also been received w/discount fares, but again, no rhyme or reason for those either!

i've got my fingers crossed that i get one, though! we weathered hurricane frances and still have some days left to use... airfares are reasonable... if i got a postcard i am sure it would clinch it for dh to give the okey dokey on another trip! LOL!

My sister just got one for Port Orleans for $79 per night. That's the second one she' gotten in three months! I never get one! She hasn't been to Disney in about ten years and is going in November for Pop Centry, which she got for $49 per night. Why isn't it ever me? We go every year!

I guess it's like what gigi1313 said...it's luck of the draw! BTW, can these postcards be shared or are they solely intended for the addressee?

My DH got an email after we booked hotels for this weekend and for March 05. It was for $49 for value. We booked moderates and have never stayed at a value. Why did they send it after we already booked? My DH got 2 postcards a couple of years ago for AKL, but that was before I knew about this board and realized the postcards were a big deal. We've never stayed at AKL either, but wish we had taken advantage of that card. I think at least one of those cards was after we'd booked or come back from a trip. I don't get it.

I got one advertising $49 for value.

It came to my address with my friends name on it. I think we went with our friends 3 yrs ago and I book their room too on my AP.

So I've gotten 2 in the last 3 months. 1 with my SIL's name and 1 with my friends name - none with my name. LOL

I'm surprised to see postcards being sent out for dates that are so close. When I saw the title I was hoping postcards had been sent out for dates in early 2005.

 

[wintermom]

I was just wondering if it was good for the holidays dates in
Dec. after Dec.25th??

Maybe that means its not as crowded this year?

My boss is out of the office this week so I have been getting her mail for her. Lo and behold, she received a postcard for the Moderates for $79!! It figures , I of course have never received one. Some people are so lucky and get great deals.

I am lucky though - check out my countdown ! Disney, here we come (with or without a postcard!) Hey, that's probably why I don't get one LOL!

 

[Praise2Him]

I got one in August and another one this week. Unfortunately, it's basically the same dates and rates as the AP rate I've already gotten (now through Dec. 25). I really need one for January! For the first time I'm actually waiting to book the room until the discounts come out and it's driving me crazy! LOL
Also, the new postcard is different and really cute! It's an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet, folded into thirds and looks like a suitcase. I didn't know what it was at first until I opened it.

I started getting postcards after I bought a couple of 7day hoopers online from Disney. I cringe everytime I get one knowing that when we finally do go in Nov 2005 we proably we won't get one.

 

[vasoccermom]

Have no idea why we got ours...had never stayed on-site or made a PS and we got our hopper passes through AAA.

However, I'm glad we did get one this time because it coincided with Independence Air announcing their new flights out of Dulles so we got great air fare and a great rate at AKL!

Can't wait...can't wait...can't wait

summer '03 we took DS's best friend w/us to WDW. He was 15 at the time. He just recvd a postcard in his name, at my address. Can I use it?

 

[MrsJ Henry]

We also just got one and so did my cousin

Minniemom:
We received a postcard in my dds name--she is 8. The only thing I can think of is we requested a planning dvd in her name so she would get it addressed to her in the mail.

We used the code with no probelm even though it was sent to an 8 year old!!

Just tell them it came to you, you should be fine.

GL!
