January 2011- Code Watch!!!

For Marathon Weekend...on Saturday, begin your day at DHS and/or AK, because the Half does not go through either of those parks. And really, even though the Half does go through MK, all the runners are through there before the park opens, so you shouldn't be affected by runners in the park.

On Sunday, I would start the day at MK, for the same reason listed above, and stay there all day, or if you want to move to another park, move over to AK, because that will be the next park to clear (probably by noon). Epcot is impacted the most on both days because it is the start and end point for both races.

Honestly, your biggest issue on Marathon Weekend will be transportation, due to all the road closures for the races. You will want to allow plenty of extra time to get to the parks, and it is highly recommended that you use Disney transportation to get around, because the buses can go places the cars can't and the traffic will be generally terrible around WDW for the first half of both days.

But in terms of crowds in the parks, they are relatively light, so it is still a good time to go.


Wow, thanks for the great info! I'm trying to figure out which parks to do what days so I can make my dining reservations! I'm freaking out since I'm so far into the 180 day window at this point. Le Cellier is already booked, but I hope we can get somewhere in Epcot one night without too much trouble.
 
Did anyone check out Mousesavers today? It said there is a very good chance code are coming our tomorrow and will include FD. Keeps fingers crossed!

:banana:
 
I got that email from Mousesavers!!! And did you read the info on the Dis blog?? They even hinted that there "could" be free dining for earlier dates in 2011!!! Please be January!!!

Check back tomorrow! Night!

I wonder what time the info will come out? I hate waiting :hourglass I'm hoping it something I can use!

So happy discounts came out today. Even though I wanted to go back the the CBR it looks like Pop would be cheaper and we can stay longer which is always good in my book.
 
The Poly at 40% off!!!!:dance3::dance3: Was waiting on landline for 30 mins, decided to dial up on cell phone too (so I could take along to work if needed) and cell phone was answered first!! Don't understand that one....
 
I booked WL, standard club level for 1/17 to 1/21, for $255 a night.

I'm still on the fence if it's what I really want. :confused3 I would have preferred AKL club level at 40% off, instead of 25% off. :rotfl2: It wouldn't be that much more to stay at AKL with the 25% off, over 40% off at WL. Decisions, decisions!

Or I would have liked the Poly, garden view for $231 a night, but my dates are off by a day and it's not available, only lagoon view for $291. I hate to spend more for something that doesn't matter to me.
 
How does the offer work if you are scheduled to arrive on one of the blackout dates? We are planning on being there starting Thurs. 01/06 for the marathon weekend, but staying for 7 nights.

Also, do you get the gift card along with free dining or is it separate?
 
We can arrive early. I didn't know it worked that way! Yay! I can handle staying another day! Thanks!!

Was on phone for 40 minutes but got 40% off room at WL, DDP, MYW/PH. Jan 2-9 for about $2500 total. I think that's good :confused3. 40% seemed like better deal than Free dining or gift card.....there are two of us
