January 2008 Code Watch

[storybookstory]

I don't see a Jan 2008 code watch thread here yet, so I'm starting one! Here's hoping for a 40% off code for us too!





sbs

I don't know what a code watch thread is. We're going Land/Sea Jan. 16-24.

 

[GoingtoSeeRella]

I'm on board too. Just booked 12/31, one night stay, and then Jan. 1-5.

Here's hoping for a discount

We wait for discounts to be announced either general codes or AP codes.

Subscribing--I'll be there for the race weekend!

 

[jenv]

I am totally on board. We are in the planning stages and not for sure since we are in the process of selling our farm and moving. But we are hoping for a mid January trip!

Newbie here. Interested in how this works. I've never been to WDW, but have registered on the site and ordered the DVD. Do I sit here and hope they mail me a 40% code? We're planning to go in Jan. as well. And what do folks mean when they say they're "subscribing" to this thread?

Sorry, excuse my ignorance! All I know how to do right now is browse and put pictures in my replies..... But praying for a good discount b/c DH is very put off by the cost of this trip!

Count us in! Going back for another January trip! Can't wait. Have'nt set dates yet. But looking at 8 nights in 2nd week of January.

One question, with it being a "new year" when do they typically announce any discounts? We did AAA last year and I am not sure that it was a better deal at the end when I heard about the ticket upgrades. So I am going it alone this time. Here's hoping!

subscribing!!!! We have plans for the end of Jan-Begining of Feb!!! Can't wait and hopin for those discounts!!!! wooooo !

can anyone tell me- is it worth it to wait for these codes to come out? or to book through AAA and save 20% on hotel room? i'm going in january to all stars movies and cant decide if i should book asap through AAA, or book through disney and add the codes.

We went this past Dec 31 through Jan 7 and there were codes available but not for the moderate hotels. I know they were offered at the All Star hotels. This was marathon weekend.

When planning your trips, keep in mind that the 2008 marathon weekend is Jan 11-Jan 13 so there is not a whole lot in the way of discounts around then.

Good luck!

I was told that AAA rates (room only) will come out around August. I've always booked a AAA rate when they came out, and then looked for additional codes, but we always went during Spring Break and there were NO discounts. I think if you had booked a AAA rate and a better code came along, you could change it...right?

Am I understanding correctly that the marathon is the 11-13? If so we will be changing out travel time. A week earlier, darn! I hate that. Anyone know what the history for discounts either before or after the marathon??

If you just want to book a room only you do not have to book through AAA to get a AAA discount. Just book your room and when AAA rates are released you can apply the discount to your room. Or, if a better discount comes out, then you apply that one.

Oh, and I'll join this thread as we're going next Jan. though we'll be there during the marathon so I guess no codes for us other than AAA.

 

[QueenGoblin]

So I'm not the only one with a "Goofy" husband?
DH is signed up for the Goofy challenge too so we will be there the week before the marathon. I guess it is unlikely there will be a discount, but here's hoping!

 

[quidam373]

anyone know if the crowds or the rates will be worse because of the marathon? we were going to be there 6-13th. should i avoid this weekend?

Subscribing! We are planning a trip Jan 18-23 2008
