July 2007 Rate/Code Watch

[KSoda]

I tried Polynesian and BC. The code was not available at those resorts. If one did become available at Polynesian, Disney would credit you the difference.

It figures, but thanks for the post.

 

[jjohnson]

Did he or she specify any date frame?

No specific starting or end dates. She said it was based on availability at each individual resort.

Just tried BWV with code Not for my dates week of july 15. He said it was a dining package code

I got it for YC. The dates I had were June 28-July 12th. It was not available at the Polynesian during that time frame and GF only had lodge tower or RPC available with the code.

We switched from YC/Poly split to 14 nights at YC waterview room.

Does it seem for those of you who getting this new flex code... has anyone gotten or tried getting a value or mod yet with it or does it seem like it's only going through/working for deluxes?

Just curious!

Thanks...

I called and got right through. The code worked for POR for 5 people for 8/10-8/12. It would be $930 for water view. This included dining plan and one day base ticket. Since we will have annual passes we've decided not to use this code, but we are continuing to hope for AP rates

I had a wonderful CM (Lucretia) I needed her to give me the new numbers to compare to my room only AAA rates. I also had a split/stay and two rooms so it wasn't an easy task! She was wonderful though.

We saved a lot.

Examples - my in-laws had a room only AAA reservation YC standard view 7 nights. Their original price was $2545. Now they have YC standard view 7 nights, 7 day MYW park hoppers and 7 days of disney dining for $2772.64!

We originally had 7 nights at YC waterview and 7 nights at Poly gv. Total price abougt $5700. Now we have 14 nights YC waterview (Poly wasn't available for our time frame), 14 days of disney dining and 1 day MYW tickets (which we'll put towards our new APs in January) for $60389.69. So for less than $400 we have dining and 1 day tickets each. It seems to me its almost like getting free dining since the 1 day tickets would be about $300 off our AP tickets.

Hope this helps everyone!!!!

I just got the greatest CM I am doing the biggest HAPPY dance! We got switched to BC still standard room but 200 bucks less than what we were paying at AKL with no construction! I am so excited. My husband thinks I have lost my mind but is happy I save money lmao. Our dates are 7/30 to 8/6 and I have standard 8 day myw passes with dining for 3487.88. Four people all pay adult prices.

What did you do? Put a downpayment down on Cinderella's Castle for a MORTGAGE? LOL. Just kiddin'.

I just got off the phone with a CM too.. xxx is a valid code. He gave me rates for the POR 10 night/dining & 1 Day base ticket (we have APs) for myself and my dd for $2009.

I wanted the FQ, so I refused, but I might call back and change it now. I'd forgotten to add the 1-day ticket I need to purchase into my calculations for my AAA package when figuring how much less it would be for me. It turns out it will be about $300 less than I'm paying for the POFQ with AAA rates. That's enough for me to change resorts.
He might have noticed my error if he wasn't busy being concerned about the "high call volume" and if I'm not making new reservations he needed to go I never had a CM not willing to help me calculate and help me decided which is the better deal.
Horace must be the only cm working off commissions.



EDIT: I got a price for the YC too.. standard room was 3116.50

The last 5 out of 6 reservationists I've spoken to had attitudes, not a good first impression.

 

[fabfive]

I don't understand t attitudes I am sure as people they would want the best deal as well.

Does the new cast member get commission when they change the reservation? If so, then I would be doing

I had a CM named ***** this morning and he was delightful. He thanked me for giving him a new code that he knew nothing about. He said that he loves it when we know more than they do I guess it's just luck of the draw.

 

[jjohnson]

I spoke with ***** this morning. She spent over an hour on the phone with me and was fantastic. I was so happy when we hung up I forgot to do the survey.

 

[DisneyMomx7]

I had a wonderful CM also - *********.

 

[Tink10]

I got the BWI.....10 nights - 1 day base tix - with dining $3810!!!

 

[taylorsmommy05]

darn darn!! I called wouldn't work for us! BOOHOO!! was told it wasn't a valid code... WAHHHHH

 

[hardingk]

Hi everyone,

I am new to these boards. Can someone explain to me how you use the 1 day park pass towards the AP renewal?

 

[fabfive]

I just got off the phone.....no luck here, spent approximately 15 minutes on the phone with a very nice CM. Our dates are July 8 - 15. She said it is not really a "code", but something that pops up on the screen. Would those of you that have received the code mind posting your dates? We are flexible and could change dates if I had an idea what I was asking for. Thanks!

Hockey Mom, I would call again. We are arriving on July 6 - July 12 at POR and I got to use the code. Don't know if it is attached to a special resort or not but if you are willing to switch resorts you can save some money. Just a thought.

So I called back.. got a quote for the Beach Club 10 nights/dining 1 day pass = $3056.40 (1 adult - 1 child)

Too high for me.. sigh. Good price though.. come to about $234 a night for the room.

But I did wind up booking for the POR, changing from the POFQ. I was at about $2335 with AAA package, and my cost now is 1949.40. A savings of $386! The room rate comes out to be only about $128 a night for the room.



EDIT: My dates are June 23-July 3
