June/July/August 2006 Code watch

[WDWcat]

Thanks guys! I was just trying to figure out if I needed to wait for these codes before I made my reservation or go ahead and try to rent points. I'm a high school guidance counselor, so I'll be off all summer! So at least my dates are flexible. But I'm just afraid everything will fill up and I won't get my reservation.

I don't know if everyone's been watching the code/rate board tonight but they are releasing a HUGE deal for August/September dates tomorrow, WHAT ABOUT JUNE/JULY??? It looks like we may have been passed up, I can't believe it.

I was thinking the same thing. They must really be booked June/July.

I wonder if this is Disney's reaction to the good rates at the S&D for that time frame?

 

[keishashadow]

Wouldn't that just be so special? Once again, DVC & AP holders get the shaft.

Can't see them announcing Aug & Sept promo, skipping June & July.

perhaps AP rates only?

 

[EEyorelover22]

I did call this am and nothing beyond 6/3

 

[tinkerbeth]

Do you think this will be instead of AP rates in August or that they will come out too???

Yea.... I just don't get it!!

So....if nothing comes out for June.... looks like Disney looses out because we will just keep our ressie at Swan. And I won't end up getting an AP.
What are they thinking???

I am currently planning a trip for July 5 and hoping for an AP discount. I called and spoke with a very nice CM and he priced out a new trip for me August 15 with the new code. I explained my situation and asked if this code meant no AP rates and he said ABSOLUTELY NOT and kindof chuckled. He said that AP rates are only out until June 3 (no der!) and that future AP rates will definately be released for after June 3. The summer won't be skipped. I felt MUCH better after speaking with him.

Now my question, it is hard to compare because I am not sure what kind of AP discounts we will get but I am originally planning on staying at AKL from July 5 - 18. We booked a standard room for the $205 per night. The least amount for an AP discount was $75 so that is what I am planning for figures. That would make the room $130 per night x 11.5 % tax + $753 for 10 day MYW base tickets + $750 for food (we have the discount card and eat b'fast in room) = $3387.35

The new code would be $2056.40 to stay at POR for 8 nights (maximum for package). This includes the 10 day MYW ticket for my party. I would just have to add 5 nights with AAA discount for our additional stay, grand total $2790.91. I am wondering how many days I can still use meal vouchers beyond the original package. I am also losing the deluxe and getting moderate, so I am not quite sure if I am really saving.

Does anyone know what the discounts were last year? They were a specific $$ amount, weren't they? And were there AP discounts (even little ones?) on all hotels-value, moderate, deluxe? TIA for any information.

That makes me feel better, thanks!!! We are going August 7 - 18 and since we would only be able to use the free dining plan for the last 5 nights of our stay, it just doesn't make good money sense for us to give up the AAA discounts on the whole trip plus buy the 1 day base ticket to satify the free dining deal. Our best bet is definately AP rates. SOOOON I hope!!!

Ok to me it looks like buying DVC points is a good deal. I entered my dates in the points calculator for 10 nights at OKW it is 386 points. I don't know how to do it but if this is how you just rent that many points (if you can get that many) at $10.per it would be $3860. Doing it on the Disney website it is $7020. Did I do it wrong?????

We are going in July and are stuck with the dates of 12th-18th because of DH's family reunion. I was reaaaalllyy hoping for some kind of discount. This is our first family trip to WDW and we are really blowing the budget for the trip. With the new code, does this mean that they have completely skipped the June/July crowd? I had been keeping my fingers crossed, as we are doing the 7-day PH + dining and staying at CBR. Oh well guess I'll keep watching.

 

[Samsma]

I'm not going to lose hope. Maybe something will come up.

Last summer we stayed at AKL and POR w/an AP rate. With taxes, we paid $154.90 for a standard at AKL and $121.54 at POR. Our AKL stay was during deluxe regular season (before July 5), and POR was regular season for moderates (early July). AP rates were a specific amount off values, moderates, and deluxe rooms, but I don't recall exactly how much it was. (Someday, I will be organized enough so I can find everything!) Hope this helps!

I dont get it. June and July may be pretty well booked, but how many peiple are going to cancel those ressies for aug/sept thus leaving rooms open(unless they really think they need the rooms) surely they are not turning people away. I done need the dining anyway, seems like a pain to plan your day around meals. We eat mostly in the cabin anyway, with a few cs meals and one signature dinner. A room only rate or a an ap rate would be great! Sure stressful waiting though

 

[HarryLeg]

I'm just hoping for an ap code. I also don't want the dining because I don't want to have to plan my schedule around meals. We schedule 3 meals for the whole week (each of us picks) and for other meals, we eat were ever we happen to be.

 

[Samsma]

I'm pretty sure they didn't have a general public code out last year because I used AAA room only to stay at BC for 3 nights. I looked and looked, but never found better.
