Jan 2010 Code Watch

[sharpie89]

I just don't know what to do...I want to take advantage of the deal, but we are only staying 5 nights...at POP...would it be worth it to change my Hotel, or my Length of stay...(Its not my schedule that's messing it up, its my Beloved..lol his work sucks...) I think that the rate we are getting is super good, considering we are on the DDP and we are getting 10 days of tickets (hopper+No expire) but we are only staying at POP -It really doesn't matter to us, as neither of us have every really stayed on grounds (I did with band-it was not really on grounds, we were still in our own buses, and everything) I am just so conflicted...is there any other deals that we would maybe see? Or is this the best we will get?

I think we are paying about 1989.00 ish? for it all...

I just ran it on the website for rack rate and it came up 2278.05.. The difference is 212.97 and assuming they took off $82 dollars a night that leaves like 48 off of park tickets. I think the deals are not as good for the values.

I believe I saw the deal is buy 5 get 2 free for VALUES and buy 4 get 3 free for MODS /Deluxes... also you have to be buying a minimum number of ticket days --I think it was 5 (?)

has anyone used this deal for a 2 bdrm villa?

Originally I was staying in two separate rooms at CSR. I used the new deal to upgrade to a 2BR villa at SSR. We have a total of 8 people, 4 adults and 4 children (although we are paying adult prices for our 10 year old). Here are the details for our trip:

Dates: January 23 - 30, 2010
Resort: Saratoga Springs Resort, 2 BR Villa
Disney Dining Plan
4 Adults
4 Children (10, 9, 8 and 6)
Insurance

Total cost: $6,775

That worked out to a savings of almost $1700 from the standard cost (and I'm still paying less than I was intending to pay for the two rooms at CSR).

I was told that the 2BR villas at Wilderness, Boardwalk, and Beach Club were all gone for our dates, as were the Treehouse villas at SSR.

Anyone but me waiting for AP room only discounts for January?

Jennifer

You're not alone. I'm waiting too! For January and March. The new promotion does nothing for me. Don't need a ticket and only need a room for 3 nights before moving to my DVC resort.

Also anxiously awaiting those AP discounts. We need 9 nights and we all have AP's. So... i guess we continue to wait

When do park hours for January come out?

thanks for the reply!!! We are paying $3650 for 6 nts BLT lake view 2 bdrm villa, AAA room only. I can't figure out how to get the 4/3 deal to actually be a deal for us, the AAA room only discount seems to be the better deal. With our park hopper tix (booked separately through disney) we wil pay around $4700 total.

With the 4/3 deal we were quoted $5100 for 2 studios at BLT (no view) with our park hopper tix. That means we will be paying $400 more if we use the 4/3 deal instead of the room only AAA discount. Does this seem right? I called Disney 4x yesterday!!!

We are booked January 3-9 at WL Club Level. I just called today to add a couple days on to our reservation due to the buy 4 days get 3 free deal. Well, no deal. They are fully booked. The CM said the only resort that is available now is Boardwalk CL during that week(another 1000 dollars more than WL). So disapointed. Now what? It used to be a relatively quiet week, and everywhere is fully booked? Wow.

When do park hours for January come out?

The hours should be out sometime this week!

HELP----

I think something is wrong? I am paying 2065.08 We are 2 adults 1 5 year old. We are staying at the POP Standard room no insurance and we have basic tickets. 1/22-1/30. We did add dining plan. This is the price WITH the code?? It seems very high to me. We usually go for alot less in Jan.

My husband and I are going Jan 7 -14, POP preferred room, dinning plan, park hopper tickets and our price is about $400 less then your's. I'm not an expert on this, but can one child add about that much on?

I called for the 4/3 deal, it saved me almost $300 on our whole trip.

Carol - I don't think not having rooms available means it will be busy in January. There are only a certain # of rooms available for those special rates. I'm sure if someone wanted to pay full freight, there's plenty of availability. If it were that busy, they would not need to offer this special deal. I'd wait a few days and call back. I bet a lot of people are flip flopping all around.

Good luck!

I wonder if a split stay would help you--a few days added at a different resort might work if you're willing to switch mid-trip. I've never done a split stay but would be willling---it might be fun...

If not, at least you can apply code/ 4/3 deal to at least get your 6th night free right??

I only got a 5/2 for POP == they said that was the only discount for value!

To at least put your mind at ease I checked rack rate on the Disney website and all room levels are available for your dates at WL..

Like another poster said, they only offer a certain percentage of rooms.. I couldnt get standard and had to pay more to upgrade to woods view for my dates, and that was three hours after the release of the code.

I am no expert, but if they aren't filling up I bet they will release more rooms for the deal.. Keep trying!

BWI CL with 4/3 deal for the room portion is cheaper than 6 nights at WL CL without a discount.

Even if you could get WL CL at 4/3 the BWI CL 4/3 is "only" $270 more. Did they only have deluxe rooms or suites?
