Marathon weekend resort discounts?

[Ronda93]

I have booked Pop Century for 1/8-1/13 at rack rates. Historically speaking, should I watch for general public discount codes?

Thanks,
Ronda

Ronda Mousesavers.com is a good source for this. Here's a link to when discount codes/promotions of all types have come out in the past

Looks like late October/early November. Are you a AAA member? They are probably already out.

Thanks! I didn't realize she had the history. That's devotion.

We are AAA members. I'll have to check for that discount.

Thanks again.

AAA is out but I think they are only discounting Sunday. I have to pay normal rate Thur - Sat.

I am waiting for resident discount if the publish this year.
enjoy,
Duane

I had no luck in getting AAA rates for my clients.

The AP rates and room-only discounts will likely be out in October or November as Maura said. However, if you are booking a package it is possible that something will be released this weekend, since the booking deadline for the current free dining offer is up on Saturday. Disney will either extend that booking deadline further to try to drum up more people for the fall, or they will announce a new promotion for January/February. I'll keep you posted if I hear anything.

And if you haven't yet booked your room, I highly recommend that you jump on it soon! Some of the least expensive categories are already sold out in some resorts (notably the Yacht Club & Beach Club). You can always apply a discount to your existing reservation when they are released.

7-for-4 or 7-for-5 Package Offer for November 2009 - March 2010

Now you can purchase a fantastic buy 4, get 7 or buy 5, get 7 vacation package offer valid for stays November 1 - December 24, 2009 through January 3 - March 27, 2010.

Here are the details:

Buy a 4-night/4 day vacation package at a MODERATE, DELUXE or DELUXE VILLA resort, get a 7-night/7-day package. That's 3 FREE hotel nights and 3 extra days on your theme park admission tickets, equivalent to a 43% discount on your room and tickets! You must buy a package that includes at least 4 nights' accommodations at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel plus minimum 4-day Magic Your Way Base Tickets to qualify for the 3 FREE nights and the 3 extra days on your tickets.

Buy a 5-night/5 day vacation package at a VALUE resort, get a 7-night/7-day package. That's 2 FREE hotel nights and 2 extra days on your theme park admission tickets, equivalent to a 29% discount on your room and tickets! You must buy a package that includes at least 5 nights' accommodations at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel plus minimum 5-day Magic Your Way Base Tickets to qualify for the 2 FREE nights and the 2 extra days on your tickets.

Extra days on a ticket don't cost that much, so the primary savings are on the hotel room portion, so the higher category hotels offer the most total savings.

To calculate your approximate savings on a "buy 4, get 7" package at a Moderate, Deluxe or Deluxe Villa resort:

• Multiply the room rate (2009 or 2010) times 3 (savings of 3 nights' room rate).
• Add $9.58 per person (ticket savings for the 3 extra days).
• The total is your savings.

To calculate your approximate savings on a "buy 5, get 7" package at a Value resort:

Multiply the room rate (2009 or 2010) times 2 (savings of 2 nights' room rate).

• Add $6.39 per person (approx ticket savings for the 2 extra days).
• The total is your savings.
• You can stay longer than 7 nights (up to 10 nights) with this package, but there is a maximum of 3 free nights and 3 extra days per ticket, per stay, if you will be staying in a Moderate, Deluxe or Deluxe Villa resort, or 2 free nights and 2 extra days per ticket, per stay, if you will be staying in a Value resort.

You can stay less than 7 nights, but you still must purchase 4 nights at a Moderate, Deluxe or Deluxe Villa resort, or 5 nights at a Value resort, so you'll end up with fewer free nights/extra days. The minimum total stay to make this offer worthwhile at all would be 5 nights at a Moderate, Deluxe or Deluxe Villa resort, or 6 nights at a Value resort. Obviously a 7-night stay is the best deal!

You can add the Quick Service Dining Plan for 2009 or 2010, the regular Dining Plan for 2009 or 2010, or the Deluxe Dining Plan for 2009 or 2010, but you will pay full price for your dining plan (no free days of dining).

The package includes standard Magic Your Way Base Tickets. You can upgrade them with the Park Hopper, Water Parks & More and/or No Expiration option(s), but you'll pay the regular price for those upgrades.

This offer cannot be applied to the Premium or Platinum packages or to "split stays" (for example, 4 nights at one hotel, 3 nights at another).

You must book this special package by 12/20/09.
