January 2012 code watch :-)

[Sue (mom of 3 boys!)]

I did a search and couldn't find one, so I figured I'd start it...
Fingers crossed!!

Wouldn't mind a discount for the few nights we're staying at ASMovies before our cruise. My DH & I are taking a gaggle of kids and grand babies and already have three nights reserved starting on the 31rst of December. I was surprised to see that New Years Day is not the beginning of the value season as it has been in the past...oh well a discounted night before and after the cruise will still help.

When do the packages open for January?

My sister wants to go the first week. I went on the Disney World website to get a ballpark on price and it would not accept the dates.

They usually come out in July or August...keep watching for it on these boards-when it comes up you will know. TAs can usually get the info before the wdw site is open for ressies, but someone here will post that too

My understanding is that the UK offers do not generally match the offers made to the US.
I guess only time will tell.

Adding myself to the list hoping for Jan/Feb 2012 offers.

I was going to do a Feb code watch...can we update this thread (if OP feels willing ) to do a Jan/Feb 2012 code watch?

We are hoping for Free Dining over here.....selfish, I know. But thats what we are wishing for :O)

Feb 2-10th , looking forward to the packages coming out!! Hopefully they will be out before the ADR reservation window opens!!!!

Cast member told me the latter part of August for 2012 rates.

Going in August with free dining for 10 days on a bouncebackoffer! Thinking about going again in Feb 2012 for a shorter time frame if they offer free dining.

What are your dates? I booked Pop for Marathon weekend. 1/4/12 to 1/9/12. I did it on the phone with Disney. She offered me preferred pool view but I told her I wanted standard so she offered me preferred (non pool) but when I still said I wanted standard she had that too.

Dates are Jan 11-14th. I checked on line though, so maybe that's why... I have an email in to my TA.
If you don't mind sharing, what is the aaa rate for a standard Pop room in January?

So I looked it up for you and just discovered....

Rack rate for standard room value season is $89 I am paying $80.10 with AAA for Wed Jan 4th and Sun Jan 8th. With tax it is $90.12.

Rack rate for marathon weekend for standard room is $109.00 and I am NOT getting any discount on that. The CM didn't mention that those dates were blacked out she just gave me a total price.

In total I'm paying $548.10 for 5 nights. I am committed with a friend to do this marathon thing (seemed like a good idea a few months ago ) so I guess I'm happy just to have a room booked. And sharing the cost with her it won't be too bad. I hope to get some sort of AP discount but I guess I won't plan on it.

I looked up your dates and the rack rate on a standard room for Martin Luther King weekend (1/13 to 1/15 Fri to Mon) is $114. I bet those are blacked out for AAA too.

Just saw that the All Stars are cheaper than Pop for 2012.

Value season standard room at Pop is $89 but $84 at All Stars.
Marathon is $109 at Pop and $104 at All Stars.
MLK is $114 at Pop but $109 at All Stars.


How strange is that? I thought they changed from building the other half of Pop to Animation Inn because Pop was "unpopular". I never did believe that line but how can they say that and then charge more for Pop? Unless they will offer more discounts at Pop.
