Jan 2009 Code Watch

[centurythree]

I was on hold for 25 Min when a CM answered. I talked with him for about 7 min, then he put me on hold and disconnected me. Not all circuts are busy, and I can't get through.

It was very easy to book online, that's what I did!

 

[Singinglizzie]

I am sooo sorry but remember this, keep trying because someone may have overbooked and will cancel...

thanks for the encouragement justtobeme. They are saying the CSR Club rooms are not part of the promotion. I originally got a rate at $210 a nt which includes breakfast, snacks, and a guaranteed brand new room with queens beds since they are remodeling and the club rooms are being done first! Hate to give that up unless the deal is so good I can't pass it up. Well at least the music has changed to Peter Pan!

 

[ethansmommy]

Cool- so can you buy 4 nights get 1 free?

Yes and because I have an AP and didnt need any more tickets I was able to just chose one day base tickets and it still let me book it....so you dont necessarily have to get a ton of tickets if you dont need them!

 

[Mr. & Mrs. Smith]

Can you buy 4 nights and get 1 free?

I feel like we've done this before. The answer is yes.

I've booked mine and for some reason get 8 days worth of park tickets. I think I'm still paying too much but I'll sort it out with another CM later. We got the dates we wanted. We should be paying $839.42 and she quoted me $979.78 and I know it's because she's not getting that we only have to buy 4 days worth of tickets. Anyway....oi vey.

CM telling me only pop value available and only the standard room....will not take the disc off my preferred room I already have reserved.
Only mod is Caribbean Beach with a king bed so I would have to get 2 rooms...not!!
Ok............need help now...........keep my preferred ASMu I have or get a cabin? With cabin...don't need dining plan!

 

[mom2my3kids]

I thought about going this March, but hubby said we can only go this fall and only if we get free dining..

 

[Mr. & Mrs. Smith]

Not so easy if you are changing an existing ressie though.

I got a pirate room at Caribbean Beach - two beds. Have them check again!

What is the code - CM says RWZ not valid.

That's right. You're not guarenteed your original resort. It just depends on if the discount is available during your original dates.

 

[Mr. & Mrs. Smith]

What is the code - CM says RWZ not valid.

I'm surprised they asked. According to the WDW website, it is IUZ.

 

[denisekayt]

Ok, my switch took a full 45 minutes as well....but, here's the news!

I originally had a room-only CR Atrium Club MK View ressie for 8 nights, 1/30-2/7. NO, repeat NO CR rooms in any category were available. Also, from the way it sounded no Club level rooms are part of the deal anywhere.

He had availablity at both GF and Poly...not sure which room categories at the Poly since I was interested in what GF had (we did Poly last vacation, we're looking to try something new). I was able to book a GF Theme Park View room.

Original room-only CR Atrium Club room cost w/AAA discount - $4360

New GF Theme Park View Room w/8-day Park Hopper tickets, no dining, $200 gift card - $3713.29



I saved nearly $650 AND got tickets plus the $200 gift card!!!

 

[Advent]

CM telling me only pop value available and only the standard room....

That's exactly what I wanted and they said it wasn't available!

 

[wain0017]

What is the code - CM says RWZ not valid.

IUZ is the code

 

[jess20k]

My TA just called me back and I was able to save $424.18 for our 10 night stay at the AKL!!!! I tried to upgrade to a Savannah, but it wasn't available. But that's ok...I am so happy we saved some$$$$$

 

[robinbutterfly]

I feel like we've done this before. The answer is yes.

ok sorry- ONE MORE QUESTION.
Can I buy only 4 day tickets or do I have to buy 7?

 

[justtobeme2]

From the Disney website -- the 'rules' on the $200 gift card:

On mousesavers AND the CM I spoke with specifically said it's good for dining.

 

[Mr. & Mrs. Smith]

ok sorry- ONE MORE QUESTION.
Can I buy only 4 day tickets or do I have to buy 7?

Apparently you only have to buy 4 days worth and you get 3 free. However, the CM I'm on the phone with seems to think I have to buy 7 days worth and I get 8. So, there's some mixed info going on.

 

[Sabrina90744]

That's exactly what I wanted and they said it wasn't available!

For what dates. I was able to keep my POP preferred

 

[Mamakoala]

Oh, and as an aside, my TA says that you have to book dining for the whole time, if you're on the dining plan, and that the 200 CANNOT be used towards dining in that instance. Of course, you could forego the entire plan and pay cash (and use the gift card for dining). It's weird, but here's what she said:

"That wording is very confusing. What's wrinnen on Mousesavers refers to if you're paying for your dining seperately (guests that don't have a dining package booked). Since you have a dining package, your dining credits will pay for all of your dining. I hope this clairifies? However, since server gratuities are not included with the dining plan, you can use the gift card towards gratuities."
