Jan 2010 deal!!

[godalejunior]

What number have you been calling? Would that make a difference? Should I call the number on the confirmation email or the one on the backstage pass?

I called the regular room reservation line at 714-956-MICKEY

HELP...I'm lost?!?!?!?! And I'm usually pretty good at getting all this. Let me see if I'm understanding...

1. All the emails/pin code offers you guys are getting are offers that only you guys can get (with the codes) right?

2. I was at Disneyland.com and saw the 5 for 3 (I like to stay at the Grand) but when I got the results it was the same price as just putting in the dates on the homepage (getting the same results I've been getting for WEEKS/MONTHS?!?!?!) about 2,100.00

3. The dining package...that would actually work for us...but is that an AP thing only? I can't figure that offer out??

Bit about us...2 adults 2 kids (3 & 9) going first of March (flexible dates) just like to go off season and not on weekends. Usually go Mon - Fri and spend 3 days in the park...I use the travel days for Goofy's Kitchen and DD.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

I think people have been getting PIN code emails which are non-transferable. The dining package is from my understanding one of those pin codes. If you don't get an email, you don't get the deal.

I can only speak for myself but I have a room only reservation. I am an AP holder and therefore can access lower discounted rates, when they are made available to us. Are you an AP holder?

We're not AP holders right now...off and on I get the passes. I think right now I'll hold tight and usually end up with a kicka** last minute deal since I go off season. Last year I got the Grand at 213...or 219...something like that...although that Red Lion deal was very tempting...I just couldn't get past the summary page?!?!?! Now the hopper passes are 2 day NOT 3 day...so guess that wasn't meant for us!!

I just got off the phone with someone that was able to find the new rate and apply it to our reservation. She said they had 25 calls on hold when I went into the queue. All these new rates and promotions are keeping them super busy.

There were issues when I called the first time when the CM noticed that my wife's name was missing, our email address disappeared from its field, and the notes were blank. She apparently fixed it even though she wasn't able figure out how to get the system to adjust our rate. Well after the CM changed the rate she noticed that my wife's name, our email, and notes were all missing from the reservation (again). She added the information back in and also made a note that it was our 7th Anniversary.

She told me that we were going to love the different kind of experience of the DLR without our kids and the change of pace (although she recounted saying she loves to go with her grand daughters too and experiencing everything through their reactions and experiences).

She was really friendly and we had plenty of time to chat while she waited for the computer system to search, apply and confirm the changes.

Best part is our really good rate, got even better! As long as the reservation stays and the whole thing doesn't magically disappear! jk

(I did get the new confirmation email with the totals (3 times within 5 minutes, so we should be good)

Does anyone know how far out those rates go? We are staying the end of Feb and we have high rates at PP like 200 something. I would LOVE to get those kind of rates and switch to DLH or even GCH if we could get 213 but not sure if they are going to have those rates for the FEB dates. Anyone?

We are arriving Thur Feb 25th staying through Mon March 1st. I would LOVE it if anyone knows. I have a deluxe AP too. We would love to change our ressie to DLH or even GCH if we can get better rates or even get better for PP than what we have. Right now I think we are paying 200 something a night! THANKS!!

Update: The Winter Backstage Pass Newsletter states that the advertised "APH" code is valid from Jan 5th - Feb 11th, 2010. So the current special rates that people are getting in Jan would not apply to your trip

Easiest thing to do is sign in to the AP website go the the hotel availability calendar and to the right there is a book online link. Click on it and enter your dates and see what rate returns.

Just keep your eyes on the boards for any other new rate promos that may come out. Also check the the online booking frequently sometimes they put new offers or rate codes into the online system a few days before anything is officially announced or before the CMs can offer them over the phone.
