Looking for a March '10 code watch.

[LuvindisCruiser]

Adding myself to the list !
We will be there March 10-18 !
We staying at ASMu, unless we get some kind of promo, that
could maybe get us to CBR !
Let's all hope some pixie dust comes our way !

 

[alnina]

We are going March 13th-20th. Also hoping for a break but like others have said it is peak season and I guess if they don't do a deal maybe it will be less crowed. But I will have to say a deal would be worth it.

 

[LuvindisCruiser]

Well, maybe if there aren't any deals, we may not have the bigger
crowds ?
I don't know which would be better.
Less crowds, better deal ?
Oh well, either way, I'M GOING TO DISNEY !!!

I'm also looking for a March 2010 deal. It worries me, though, that our week in March (13-19) is is included in PEAK season. They don't usually have promotions or codes for peak season, do they? Looking at the Mousesavers historical discount chart, it appears that this past March was the first time since 2006 that they offered special discounts other than Florida resident and AP holder discounts. Perhaps such an offer will happen again if the economy doesn't improve.

Yes, I saw that. There were significantly more discounts available this year, than in '08. They just came out real late this year.It states:
"Stay Dates 01/01/2008-03/15/2008-package deal, (discount+free ticket upgrades) for Disney Reward Visa Cardholders- became available 10/29/2007, general public- became available 11/01/2007."

2009 discounts were more numerous:
Had room only discount, package discount, 7/4 deal, 25%off platinum package. These discounts came out very late in December. This was about the time people were starting to feel the crunch and all of the lay-offs began. The discounts were supposed to only be available for about a month, but I guess Disney did not get as good of response as they had hoped, and basically ran them again through most of the stay dates also. I say book your stay so you can make dining reservations and when the discounts come out, change if it is a better deal. Anything better than AAA discount to me is a deal for peak season. How cool if they do free dining. That seems to be their easiest promo. That would save my family over $520 on our trip.

We're going in March too! (14th -20th) POR unless 7/4 deal becomes available. The dining package would be nice too, it would save us about $800.

Anyone ever gone in May?

We've been in May before and loved it! Really warm weather but not quite the humidity you find in the summer months. Crowds were pretty reasonable. If DW wasn't a teacher we'd probably go during May again.

 

[Jackie H.]

OK....I'm really, really ready!

I keep getting codes and specials for WDW up through November so far... Please, please please give me a March deal!

 

[goodmorningirl]

Also hoping for a deal in March. DBF said we can go for my birthday/valentines/anniversary but I need a good deal. Cross our fingers!

 

[DisneyFans-Poage]

We are also going during our Spring Break, and have made the reservations. Now we are just watching for any deals. We want to join this thread also...

 

[donutday]

Our DD just announced her choir will be performing the first weekend in March, so we'll be watching with you all!

 

[jillhou]

We are thinking about a trip in March - this is the longest we have gone in a long time without making a trip.

We might have some friends going - but would need a decent deal before we decide to go. Would be our first trip without our oldest son. Kinda weird!

 

[n2mm]

Guess I'll be watching too. Last year I got a pin code for this timeframe and hoping for another one. We are booked March 7-12, but plan to go a day or 2 earlier if I get a good rate.

Are you going for the UCA all-star cheer competition? We will be there!

No, just looking for a different time of year to go. We decided not to go in June/July/August that year, so trying on some new dates. Trying to avoid Easter. Staying at the BCV.

 

[andee515]

We were not planning on goingthis year, but I found a conferance in middle of march at disney, so I'm breathlessly awaiting a deal of some sort so we can get this from insanely expensive down to doable

Anyone know what was available last year in mid march?

And does anyone know why travel companies; I've tried AAA and expedia, do not have any room available? Disney does, I called already. I thought march is probably one of the busier times of the year and they didn't allow outside selling or something of that nature, weird; any thoughts?

Thanks

We've never gone over spring break time b4 so I'm in sticker shock over the airfares. DS's break starts the last weekend in March (the week BEFORE Easter) so I have booked us AKV Kidani with our DVC points for Sat 3/27 - Fri 4/2. But just last night I found a good airfare home to BWI on Thurs. so I booked it & will just cancel off the Thurs night from our ressie. But the airfares going DOWN on that weekend are crazy high for non-stops so I was debating about going down on Fri. night bcuz the air is a lot less than on the weekend & just try to book someplace with an AP rate for Fri. rather than use points (which are high for the weekend).

OK, so my question here is are there normally AP rates that come out for this time? Just trying to decide what day to book for our airfare going down...it might work out just as well to go on Fri. night if I can find an AP rate.

Usually the AP rates for the week before and the week after Easter are generally blacked out. We really don't know what Disney might do this year. If things remain slow and there are rooms to fill, they may offer something. I generally stay away from holidays. I think mousesavers has some history fares and dates to compare it too. Good luck!

anyone know the weather this time of year? would we be able to do TL or BB without feeling like we are in a meat locker?

Avg High in March is 78 & Avg Low is 55 so it may or may not be waterpark weather...it would probably be a bit chilly for me to spend a whole day at one of those... I would be happy for it to be warm enough to spend some time at the resort pool!!

I'm hoping for a March '10 code/promo too! I'm taking my mom and sister on a surprise trip over their spring breaks (mom's a teacher and sister is in high school). My husband and I went last year on the 7/4 deal and I'm really hoping for something similar this year. I was so excited in mid-August when there was that rumor a 'more complicated' 7/4 deal was going to be released... here's hoping... better late than never!
