January 2008 Code Watch

[jd99]

Checked online and via phone and our five nights at the GF were 200 bucks cheaper using AAA than the "special AP code."

 

[peel]

Well, I convinced him to call after linking him to the DISboards page. That way he could see no percentage or amount was listed but the codes were in print and the package was described. Cross your fingers for me!

Wow, sounds like you're doing all the work!

 

[hansent]

I was told that the code wasn't valid for the Family Suites (although it was the ZVY code, which is MYW with dining) either, and we aren't going over MLK. Our dates are 1/27 - 2/3. Maybe the ZVX code works for the Family Suites but not ZVY???

I called Mon - Wed to try to apply the Visa code ZXF, and it was "sold out". I called yesterday at 7 am to apply the general public code ZVY, and I was told that it wasn't available (not sold out).

I'm not changing resorts, though - I really want to try the suites!

I called this morning and the only options they had for me was a Family Suite at All Star Music or rooms at the Saratoga Springs. We currently are booked at Pop with MYW plus dining so with the code and to switch to the Family Suite would still have been almost $200 more which really we are only going to be staying on Disney Site for three days before we go over to the OMNI Resort for 4 more with business. But the CM I worked with was going to give me the promotion and we are going to be there the 18th-21st (which is suppose to be the black out dates).

With all the resources on the internet now, I just can't imagine needing to pay a travel agent to book anything. Clicking online is almost always faster than the phone call. Only reason I called Disney was because there is no place to enter the code online. Hopefully they will fix that soon, because they can save a lot of money by not having to pay operators. I also see no reason why they can't have an online restaurant booking. Maybe with the money they save with online reservations, they could restore the DP back to the way it was.

This code deal can be booked online.There is a link for it on the disneyworld.com home page. It says: More play for less pay,special vacation offer with ticket upgrade.

was very discouraged yesterday with unable to get the ZVY code for the value resorts for Jan 16-23. Today I got a perfurred rm at Pop with the code. I had to pay $30 more but that pays for DQ. So thank you to who ever canceled.. It made my day!!!!!

Right you are! I just checked, and I got the same price as I did on the phone, and it confirmed that I have the water park and more option. I didn't see the link, because it was one of those rotating banners.

Glad I could help!

THANK YOU, HANSENT! Because of your post, I saw a glimmer of hope and called AGAIN today (that makes the fifth day in a row), and I was able to apply the code and save almost $250! (Of course, my phone bill might cancel some of that out...)

So, here's the story...

MYW with dining
ASMusic Family Suites
7 nights, 7 day PH
2 adults, 1 child
no insurance

Before code: $2864.76
After code: $2618.09

Thanks for posting!

They are only at ASMu. We stayed in one last October, and we LOVED it!! It was great having two bathrooms, and two TV's. I would check it out, especially if you could get a code. They didn't offer codes last year because they were brand new. If you have any questions about the suites, send me a pm.

Suites are only at ASMu. They about the price of 2 preferred AS rooms. They are 2 rooms that have been converted into a suite. They sleep 6. One room has full size sleep sofa, twin size sleep chair and youth size sleep ottamon. The other room has 1 queen bed (vs full size in the regular value rooms) and a small kitchenette with fridge, coffee maker and microwave. You would have 2 closet areas, 2 full baths, and 2 TVs. I'll be trying them out for the first time next August.

Yeah!!! I am so glad you were able to get in on the deal.

I called back today because it didnt look like my ressie was right on the email confirmation. The helpful CM said that I should modify my ressie to have 3 nights on the package with 10 day tickets and then keep the last 7 nights as my original AAA rate because it was cheaper. We still get all the perks of the discount package, but come out a few bucks cheaper by using AAA for the rest of the ressie. Just letting anyone know in case it will help them. We dont get the dining plan either in case that matters.

Ok, so here's my story for those of you who haven't read my 10000 posts on this thread DF and I have been booked at POR for our honeymoon for about 6 months. FINALLY the general public code came out and I sent it to our TA on the 31st (it came out about 11pm) and haven't heard from her. No email no phone call. She won't answer my emails of phone calls.... SHE FELL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH. So last night I'm thinking GREAT this code is gonna be all gone and i'm gonna be stuck SO BRIGHT IDEA thanks to lollipopsmom (who helped me TONS last night). I priced a package last night online and NO ROOMS LEFT AT POR or POFQ with the code.... But low and behold AKL was coming up as having rooms avail with the code and to upgrade wouldn't cost a dime according to the quote online!!!! WHAT?!?!?!? COULD THIS BE?!?!?! We are only 19 and 21 years old and could only DREAM of affording a Deluxe resort such as AKL at this point in time.... At this point I'm shaking..... Nerves on edge.... I decide to print the quote and get up at 6:30 am to start trying to get through -- My goal was to be on the phone with a CM at 6:59am. It's now 2am and I can get 5 hours of sleep. I get up, sign on to the DISboard to request pixie dust, and then begin calling. 6:58 and I'm online with CM. I tell him it's our first time and our honeymoon and he says "Lets see what we can do, I'm sure you deserve some extra magic" Finally he tells me what I already know, POR and the code will not work... I timidly ask about AKL and he puts me on hold for about 15 minutes AHHHHHHH..... Then he comes back. "Well the future Mrs. Plyler (my soon to be name) it looks like I can book your honeymoon at the AKL using the discount code and actually still save you $60". OMG i'm dying at this point. Well, actually I screamed and kinda scared him. Thankfully he understood. So, I say all of that to say this - Before and After - here goes:

Before code and upgrade: After code and upgrade:

8 days 8 days
Port Orleans Riverside Animal Kingdom Lodge
Park hopper & Water Park tickets Park hopper & Water Park tickets
Deluxe Dining Deluxe Dining

$2994 $2933


WOW, I got upgraded tickets AND a resort upgrade -- LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY me!!!!! Thanks to everyone that sent me pixie dust!!!!!

I don't usually comment on stuff like this, but reading this made me so happy for you. I just smiled when I read it. I'm so glad that things worked out even better than you thought. Have a great honeymoon and best wishes on your marriage!

Needless to say he was THRILLED!!!! I've never been to WDW, but seeing this magic just from the CM who helped me this morning makes me even more excited!!!! Thanks for all the pixie dust!!
