March 2014 Discounts

[CDoobee]

We plan on going either in April, or March if there are discounts then. Would love free dining, but know that's unlikely. What exactly IS the Stay/Play/Dine offer? I don't mean when it is (or might be) offered, but what does it mean??

Thanks!

It means you pay rack rate for the hotel, but adults pay the child price for tickets and dining.

Okay, thanks. I guess that's if you buy the Dining Plan?

We have APs, so the ticket deal wouldn't help us any.

What in the world is going on with March? Rates are $2000/night for hotels, and even at that, all that I've looked at are unavailable. I've never seen anything like it. Rumors are that there was a pin (not that I had one) in July for 35/30/20, but even that excluded the week we were hoping to go. My husband turns 40 on March 8 and just wants to be in WDW for the big day. We can't afford a $20,000 vacation, there's only apparently 2 resorts on property that have availability for those dates even if I did want to pay $20,000 (just for the room), and even if I had a pin, it randomly excludes March 3-15 for no apparent reason. What is the deal? Any clue?

TREEMI01: where are you seeing $2000/night rooms??

I would be. My dates are March 29 - April 5.

Wow, those are our dates exactly! We're staying at CBR. My best guess is that discounts for March will likely be announced near the end of this year but may be as early as late October. Just my gut feeling.

I sure hope that Stay Play Dine is announced next month. It seems like October will never get here.

We're going February this year, but went in March last year. We had a free dining pin emailed to us on October 10th last year so keep an eye out in early October.

We have a room only ressie at PO-R for March. I'm hoping for a discount. Does anyone know if AAA always offers a discount of 10% off mods? I don't have it right now, but I'm thinking of getting it. It would save us $170, so it would pay for itself at least.

Just booked AoA Lion King Suite for March 9-15 through AAA resort package. Hoping some sort of discount will come out and save us a little bit. Adult kids on last college spring break so we are choking on the rates one last time AAA said they would happily apply any discounts we get offered by snailmail or pins. Fingers crossed

Waiting for March discounts as well--excited to find this site. We are going March 11-16. Celebrating 75th, 50th and 5th birthdays and a graduation from college! Staying at AoA in Finding Nemo suite--5 yr old's pick--hope I can sleep. 2 of us have been to the park before but 15 yrs ago and didn't stay on Disney property so this is all new for us. We booked already through Disney with a dining package but were told could apply discounts that come up before we pay in January.

Waiting for end of March discount. Crossing my fingers....

 

[mickeymyfavorite]

I'm waiting for March discounts also.............

Trying to decide about going end of March and first of April or mid-May. Hoping for a good March deal so we can go sooner!

I've asked this question a few times around here and consistently gotten the same answer. Those in the know say the offer for March (and the rest of spring) will be stay/play/dine, and it will be offered around the first week of October.

Hope that helps!

That would be nice!

We're planning 3/29-4/4, and hoping for a discount! Last time we went, my youngest was free to fly and at Disney... so this is a bit of sticker shock for us.

I know what you mean. Last time we went, one kid was free and one was a child. Now they are both considered adults. We are so excited to go back!

We are traveling 3/3-3/7 and received 15% off with AAA at the Beach Club.

I just cancelled a Le Cellier ADR for Monday, March 3, 2014 for 12:30p if anyone wanted to jump on it.
