January/February 2018 discounts, who else is in?

[Lisa Warner]

You really need to call at 7 AM or look on here ... there is no other way to find out if it is a visa release ( i'm actually not sure whether it's announced on the visa website but I don't think it is )... i've been checking every day at 7 AM by calling because I am lucky enough to work from home but it's still a huge pain

How can you play with the different scenarios to see which one is best if you can't see it online?

Are we only expecting release of SPD discount first or also RO discount?

 

[MaggiesMomNJ]

What do you mean by different scenarios?

I do think there are some glitches going on with availability because I've been watching certain hotels for months and there is suddenly very limited availability ...

Both I think, if you look back at historical promotions

I sure hope so! I need a one night Room Only.

 

[MaggiesMomNJ]

I think we are in the same situation due to a split stay

 

[vicarrieous]

I think we are in the same situation.

Yep, you will need room only as well.

Our trip was rescheduled a couple of times and I know we were booked a year ago under the discount but I'm not sure if it was to stay and play or the room only ...probably the room only but I never asked

Meaning different resorts and room only verses SPD. I currently have FQ reserved but will most likely have to change it to take advantage of an offer which makes me sad. However if the discount is good enough to make an upgrade to deluxe....

There's another thread about how to calculate the SPD... that might help. I think it's 40% off dining only but depends on the resort category.

I just logged in and it says "this resort isn't eligible for the special offer" and then said booking was unavailable... not sure if this means they are loading discounts? I didn't click on anything other than checking rack rate.

I just am on the phone with disney *trying* to ask and it told me a 90 minute call wait time.

I've been hold a while as well. I couldn't tell if I was initially told 16 or 60. I was hoping 16, because it's almost that now.

I saw the same rumor posted today on Joe's FB about the 10/3 start - curious if it will just go to everyone at once or if it will go to Chase card holders first.

Been on hold since 7 am.

 

[lookitsmikel]

Just incase it has been released for Chase card holders, what number is everyone calling? I just got my chase Disney card, first time being able to book early (maybe).

Call the regular line.

Has anyone actually gotten through?

Been on hold since 7 am. Just got through. She said watch the site and I should try very early next week. Pure torture!
