Jan 2009 Code Watch

Visa Code question...

If I apply to get a Disney Visa today do you think I would qualify as early as tomorrow for the code if there is one released to visa holders?
 
Yet another Visa question.

In order to take advantage of a Visa discount, do you have to pay the deposit on the Disney visa? I didn't put the deposit but plan on putting the remainder of the trip on it.


Keeping my fingers crossed for big things tomorrow or Friday!

I am almost positive you do.

I don't think it's an instant decision, plus you would need your CC # to pay for the deposit.
 
Just called and changed my POP ressie for 4 nights in a preferred room for $288 but DH said the heck with it he wants Poly so I called back and booked a garden room for $1146 (incl tax).

The Poly is so much easier since we are going with our 2 nieces and have breakfast planned at Ohana, CP and the Princess Meal and I changed our TH for our departure day to CM instead!
 

We've had to put the deposit on our Disney Visa if we were booking it under the Disney Visa promo (before it was released to the public)

So I don't think you could get approved that quickly and receive the card unless they could give you the account numbers, etc on the phone...:)
 
I just called Disney to check on a room only rate with a AAA discount for a Value resort and was told that the only Value open is POP...Music sold out so I am assuming Movies and sports is also. I have a res at the Music already without a AAA discount. OPINION NEEDED PLEASE..........keep Music or change to POP...can save about $235.
 
How did you find out right away? Did you call or were you checking Disney's website? Trying to be prepared for VISA code - hopefully tomorrow. Do I look for an e-mail from VISA, check their website or Disney's website?

I have 407-934-7639 in my contacts on my cell phone. Dialed it ahead of time when they were closed so all I had to do is send it. Call right at 7am eastern and should get what you want.:banana:

I am pretty sure I didn't pay the deposit last year with the Disney card but still took advantage of the promo when it came out. I had to give them my numbers but I got the discount.
 
I was wondering that same thing. If this year's AP discount is better than last year's, maybe the general public discount will also surpass last season's.

That said, I'm totally bummed that a Canadian public discount package wasn't released this season. I was sooo hoping for something attractive to help combat our sinking dollar. We have no AAA membership, can't get a Disney Visa in Canada, and aren't annual passholders.

Oh well, here's hoping for a great general public code! Even though it may be unlikely, I will still keep hoping for free dining :goodvibes .

I believe they are better. I haven't gotten $149., let alone $144 for WL in at least 3 years.
 
Mr. & Mrs. Smith....just a question for ya.

Did you JUST receive the email, or could it have been sitting in your inbox for the last little while (ie since the first round of PINs were sent to Canadians)?

I sooooo want to be able to get my hopes up, and think that maybe (just maybe) I will receive one of the magic PINs. Please, oh please, tell me they are sending out another round of emails to us Disney hopefuls!

Got a pin yesterday too but dates are black out days.:headache:
 
The last two years the visa code has come out first and I know the last round of discount codes the visa cardholders didn't get one until late (free dining offer). I'm wondering if we won't get one tomorrow or friday but we'll see the GP codes on friday??? I was really hoping to get the visa code before GP so I could apply it to GF...my TA doesn't open until 9am on friday :(

Did you get an AP rate for Poly? I've called twice today and can't get anything other than Garden View concierge and that's too expensive...

I have a res at the Music already without a AAA discount. OPINION NEEDED PLEASE..........keep Music or change to POP...can save about $235.

Change to POP. Pop has it's own buses. Great resort and Food court. I don't think you'll be sorry--especially w/ the savings! We've stayed there twice.
 
Thought Jan was supposed to be a low time to go...what's with all these sell outs?

Sorry, didn't check Poly as DH loves the lodge and I wanted to get my ressie for a standard room before they were gone.

It doesn't mean the resort is sold out, just the # of rooms they have set aside for that particular promotion. I think they will have a separate set of rooms available with the Visa promo when it hits.
 
Well, I got WL woodsview for $169 for our stay. A bit bummed because I planned a split stay between WL and an Epcot resort (YC/BC/BW - we weren't picky) but there was NO standard room availability at any of the those and I couldn't justify the waterview price when it'll just be my DS and myself. I am scratching my head at the lack of availability there - the BC/YC pool will be closed for rehab so I thought they'd be wide open. :confused3

I have to re-do my dining now.

But, I am pleased with the price! I paid $205 for same room same time last year!
 
I have never considered DDP. Is it expensive and is it figured according to which resort you are staying at? Can you cancel it without penalty if you change your mind and still keep your AP room discount?
 
I miss my cast discount so much right now.

I was looking at doing a room Jan 5-8 with a AAA for 4 people but it still comes out to $475 a person WITH the AAA discount. *sigh* That's too much still, oh well.

NOTE: Room was like $320 or something like that. That per person price includes room, airfare from Southwest and 2 day park hoppers.
 
Hi jenjersnap - How did you get such a great rate at WL? Was it an AP rate? I have a standard view booked there in Jan for $240/night right now. Ouch.
