Is there really no August 2013 thread yet?

I've been waiting days for Magical Vacations to get back to me. Is this a legit business? I've submitted two requests and called (left message).

What agent did people pick from the website drop-down menu?

Nice to know I am not the only one

Thanks. I did fill out their form online, I just never heard back from them . I resubmitted today.

I am not sure about how purchasing from them would work for me though. I don't need park passes, just room only, it looks like they only sell packages.

Still would love to get a PIN if only to be able to say I got one

I booked through them for the end of Aug deal and I had asked about a room only booking because I usually do the Yes program and get discounted tix that way.We were looking for the 21-31 and was quoted around 1900 and change.With park tix(8 day hoppers for 3 adult 1 child)it came to 3200 and change.With the change to the Yes program tix it was only like 50 dollars more to get the tix as the package and at least I have the ability to cancel them.I know they were really busy-I started the begining of the week getting different quotes and such and at first I was getting emails right away but then it got busier and would take alittle longer.I booked it friday night.

From what I understand they are overwhelmed with the response to this offer. According to the TA they have not even advertised it but they are getting so many requests from those of us on the disboards

For all of the pinless magical vacations (travel agency) as terrific deals for August. I just booked the beach club for 8/21-8/27. Their special rate exceeded all of the possible discounts from Disney. I had the30% off deluxe pin and their price was still better by almost $600. $ 2390 for 6 night at bc. Includes 6 day park hoppers for 2 adults and 2 kids (5,8). In addition you also get 1 waterpark or Disney quest ticket. We were supposed to rent points. Althought we would have had a 2 bedroom. I could not turn down this discount.
Below is their website

Do you know what dates are available with the deal? I got a quote a while ago, but at the time they didn't have agency exclusives for August.

I was told it starts on 8/23 I do not know the end date but I have seen people get through Labor Day.

Of course this year we' re going 15-21! At least we got a bounce back.

I was able to get it as early as 8/18 at the BC.

 

[randy2005]

I was told it was 8/23-9/2. I had put my request in on a Thursday afternoon and got my quote Friday morning. I didn't choose a specific agent but the one I am assigned to is awesome. I got my confirmation number and I am able to pull up my reservation on Disney's website

I went back to the website and they're showing another exclusive for 8/3-8/10 so I requested a quote for that time but gave our ideal dates of 8/15-21. Waiting to see what they come back with.

Do these great Magical Vacation discounts only apply to the Beach Club? Anything for value resorts?

I would choose Michele. She's really nice and she told me she is the only one of all the agents who can book these agency-exclusive deals, so she will know right away if something is sold out.

And yes, they are very busy with all the requests going through, but they are legit.

I'm still waiting too...I picked Michele.

I requested a quote this morning (didn' t request a specific agent) and heard back a few hours later.

I requested my quote Saturday afternoon. I didn't think I would hear back before today but I still don't have anything. I am starting to wonder if the promo is sold out for my dates (week before labor day).

I saw your dates were for mid August. Were you able to get the great rates that everyone else did?

I requested a quote on Sunday morning and am waiting to hear back. I have a BB booked but may not be able to go that late because my oldest DD is not sure where she i going to college and when she will have to start. I am exploring my options since I am one of those "no pin ever "people.Once IO get a quote back, how soon would I have to book and do they have a refund/cancellation policy? I'm so up in the air right now! FD is the best deal for my family so I'd really rather get a pin but whatever I do they never come.

My quotes from MV for early Aug. also included Wilderness Lodge.

I was not given any timeline or pressure to book - and I e-mailed back and forth for a while, asking for different quotes and trying to figure out my dates. But that was last week, and they may be running out of rooms more quickly now. Hard to say for sure.

The refund/cancellation policy is the same as booking directly through Disney (no penalty for cancellation until 45 days out).

I love FD too, and am hoping for either a PIN or a public offer. But this deal is so great - and there's no monetary penalty for cancelling - so I booked it just in case. And staying deluxe would be exciting!

For those who have requested quotes and didn't hear back, my two cents: When I put in my quote request I got an automatic e-mail reply thanking me for my interest and telling me they would get back to me soon. When I hadn't gotten anything further after 48 hours, I replied to that e-mail and said I still hadn't gotten my quote, and asked for a timeline of when they might get back to me. I got my quote just a short time later. So a nudge may be worth your time.

What PINS "are out" for August? Anyone get free dining PIN?

I didn' t get a deal for my current dates (have free dining bounce back, but it doesn't cover our whole trip) but the quote for 8/3-8/9 was about $900 off rack rate at Beach Club.
