Jan 2010 Code Watch

[meandmytwogirls]

I've been lurking on this tread for a couple of days. I just called and booked Jan 9-16 this morning and the lady said my standard room value season ressie at Caribbean Beach was $205.00 per night. I checked a rate schedule I had and that rate is peak season rate for christmas 2009. I asked to verify and she said that was in fact 2010 rates, but thanks to you guys I know she is mistaken and it will be adjusted come Aug.

One question though? How does Disney contact you to adjust the rate as I wanna try to snag a AAA rate when they become available.

Question about the codes and booking rooms..

If you were to make reservations now for January and then in a few months they come out with another 4/3 deal (or something similar) am I able to change my existing reservations to the deal?

Please let me know if that didn't make sense..

Thanks!

Yes, you can change if a deal comes out later, if the deal is available at the resort you want.

We booked for POP Jan 19-28 also value season and they charged us $137 +tx for our room deposit...way over their current value rate (we only had to pay the current value rate 1 night deposit last time) so I guess they are doing it to every resort. They said that it is the only rate that the computer is currently generating for 2010 reservations.

As to get the AAA rate, when the actual 2010 rates are posted, I believe sometime in August, you have to call back and get them to update your reservation...they will be able to make sure that your nightly rate is corrected to the new room rates at that time too. You will need your AAA # when you call.

We have decided to look at it this way: We have currently paid more than double just for deposit so when the rates are adjusted and our CAA applied, we have already paid for 2nights +.....HOPEFULLY! (because if the rates go up that much, I don't think that we will be going for 10 days)

Well, it is looking more and more like we will be heading back to WDW in January. I am just not sure of dates as of yet. I am considering either 1/3-1/13 or 1/10-1/20. Let's hope for a good code!

I'm going to jump in here and hope to plan another January trip...

 

[Monny2AE]

I know historically they've always offered SOMETHING in Jan. What's the usual % off that they've offered?

I'm hoping it's at least 40% off the hotel. I'm not much for the ticket upgrades they've offered. We usually don't do the waterparks anyway so it's not a big deal if it's free.

I'm REALLY hoping for another 4/3 deal but if not I'm crossing my fingers for a decent hotel discount at the least.

Only about 4 more months to impatiently wait...

I' ll join you code watchers, we have a trip planned for 1/27 to 2/5. We even booked our flights already as we will be flying from Germany.

Regarding codes in recent years: I have been to WDW three times in that time frame so far since 2007. The first two years we got the water park ticket upgrade package and I did the math on it, the discount for the room rate alone was around 20%. We were staying at AKL then.

Any advice about training, I have a 17 minute mile now, and need to build up endurance.

The summer discounts look good.

For training advice head over to the WISH section at the bottom of all the threads and Events and Competitions. You'll find a heap of lovely people all eager to chat about training, races and the latest tech stuff/munchies!

We're heading over for the marathon too. A bit stuck though in terms of waiting for a code as i don't think we can modify/cancel bookings made through Disney UK as you guys can. Hmm.

I'm subscribing. We'd need a good code (40% off) to be able to add a trip in for January. Here's hoping!

HI, We are at POP too Jan 19-26, we'll be neighbors, what building are you requesting?
I booked with smallworldvacations.com because I could find so little on how to book outside of the allowed or open time on disneyworld.com. They told me that I could book the space, which is what you did as well. They said the deposit is at the most expensive rate for 1 night using the 2009 rates. Then when Jan 2010 rates are released, you're depsoit is refunded to you or adjusted and put towards the new VALUE resort rate (or whatever resort your at). But yes our dates are in the VALUE time so we should get better rates!
I'm more worried about how good of a discount it'll be since we are kinda chancing it by waiting. I'm from oregon so i really need to book my airfare early to get a good deal of $250 RT PP. if i wait i'm screwed and yet, if the 2010 Deal at WDW isn't 40% or 4/3..I dont' think i can go.... What to do, What to do.....

You know you should contact one of the travel agencies that only do WDW vacations. It eleviated a lot of my worrying over If i'd get my room, when would the rates come out, they were much better at making me not worry.
I'm such a planner i worry a lot.. hahah hope this helps...

We'll be neighbors ( i think, lol) We'll be there 1-19 to 1-25--I'm trying to decide about our resort--but the POP is our choice if we do value

Trying to get a confrimed month from husband! He is on board to go, just not sure what month...most probably Jan 2010...Hoping for a code...I am sure something will be out there!

Want to go this fall, too, but with daughter's HS volleyball season, it looks like that will not happen!

I'm another one hoping for 7 for 4 in January! Not sure if my dh will go or not- he loves it when we get there- but he's been in a mood lately!
