I Got A Postcard !!

[chaznabby]

I just received a postcard from Disney World to stay at a value resort for selected dates in January or February 2006 for $49 plus tax per night. I WAS getting ready to book a package through AAA. I just emailed my AAA travel agent with the info to see what she says. At a glance, do you think this is good? This sounds like a room only discount. I want the dining plan so if I book these room only codes, can I still get the dining? Will be an either/or deal ... either get the AAA discount with dining OR use the dscount code for room only with no dining?? Any advice would be great. Thanks.

We received one of these postcard codes in May of this year. Even though it is a room only discount, we were able to add dining plan AND keep the room only discount. It was a fantastic deal for us. We stayed at AKL and POLY and ate royally.

Wow -- congrats!!!

I only got that lousy email with the pin (that didn't save me any money in value season)...

oh no! great for those going in Jan/Feb.........but does this mean Oct-Dec folks are getting skipped?!

don't pass that up! $49 is a great rate for room only...B/R rates aren't that good.....

Congrats, that is a great deal!
Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to get one!

That's great!!!

WOW that’s an awesome rate! I so wish I could get it! But since we are already booked with AAA discount I doubt we will get it. Congrats that’s an amazing deal!

 

[Luvmickey28]

Wish I could get my name on that list...
Take advantage of it....

I just got the postcard over the weekend (Saturday). The funny thing is it was mailed to my old address. I ofcourse registered with Disney Insider, requested the vacation DVD pack, and everything else with my NEW and CURRENT address. I haven't lived at my old address in 9 years. My grandmother lives there and gave me the card. I did go to Disney World while I was living at the old address. My thought is, I wonder if they're sending the postcards to people that haven't visited in a while. Anyway, it helps me out. I will go ahead and get my AAA agent to book the rooms at discount, add dining plan if possible, and get our tickets. If its cheaper and I can do it, I may get my tickets through Ticketmania (Mousesavers link). This may end up being an economical trip despite gas prices. We are definitely looking forward to our 7 days at Disney World. We'll be staying at POP for the 1st time.

I'm sure I'll get one, too. You see, I have a knack for getting a postcard from Disney for dates that are just weeks off from when I'm planning my trip. It happens EVERY YEAR. So, this year I'm going the 2nd week of December, so I'll be sure to get a postcard for January. Just like last year I got a postcard expiring in December, and we went the first week of January.

HMPF! I should just schedule another trip a few weeks later to throw them off...lol.

What were the selected dates? For instance, was MLK weekend excluded from the deal? Just wanted to know, in case by some miracle we get one soon. Thanks!

 

[chaznabby]

The codes were basically good only weekdays during value season January/February.

 

[MickeyMouseGal]

Cool! Do you think you can sweet-talk them into giving me one for early May?

 

[DisneyPhD]

Cool, I didn't get a card, but I was able to use a post card code for May 2005 and get a good deal by calling and asking (cm said it was already at my name.)

We are planning to go Jan 4th to the 11th, so I think I will give them a call and see what is possible. Running out of hope with the AP rates. (last year I got 77 a night for a mod.)

Thanks for posting. Good luck. I hope I get one too (or at least my name has a pin next to it at CR.)
