May 2008 code watch

[mom2aredhead]

We were there this past May 12-19 and had a GREAT trip! I tried to talk my husband into going back in Dec for some holiday festivities, but he wouldn't budge, so it'll be mid-May again for us!
To answer PP, I think last time I booked around Dec/Jan, then was able to apply a code when it came out. I booked, changed, and re-booked the trip so many times (AAA vs AP vs code) my husband swore we would not even have a room when we got there. And we'll be staying at AKL too - standard room with fingers crossed for a free savannah upgrade as was the case for our last 2 trips. Still not sure about DDP - we did without it up until now, and I'm not sold on the changes for next year. Plenty of time to decide I suppose...
And I'm probably in the minority, (and I know this sounds selfish) but I'm hoping that SWW stay in June only. We had really nice low crowds during our last trip.

We are planning on going again in 2008 probably arount the 18th and staying 6 nights. I have AAA for this visit, I went This year in May without it. Can anyone tell me the best way to book with the discount? I see that there are codes at times but I don't know what the codes are or how to get them.
I am taking my DD and her 2 children as well as my 10 y/o son so need to save all I can, especially with the changes in the DDP this year. Two of the children will be over 10 and counted as adults but I checked the prices on what we would spend OOP and I think the DDP is still a better deal unless I want to leave the resorts which I don't!
We are thinking of staying at the POR so we can get the trundle bed and can all 5 be in 1 room. I really want to stay at a WDW resort, p;an to relax and park the car until time to check out!

Joining in! We're taking a short park trip pre-DCL, 5/8-5/11. Staying at our first deluxe, WL!

I went on Mousesavers to find the historical codes for May ( http://www.mousesavers.com/historicalwdwdiscounts.html#codechart) So from what I read, well....Ugh. Seems not much for the average visitor. 2005/2006 was sparse, and in 2007 they ended before Memorial week. I guess we'll just have to wait and see! They are posted like this Dates can use Code, Code Type, Date Code was Released and are pasted below:

Thank you branv. I tried to do something similar, but it was taking way too long to figure out.

It looks like we will have to wait until at least January to find out about codes for May. I'm already booked through AAA and am happy with my rate. Any more would just be a bonus.

 

[JustMinnie]

We're going in May(23rd-31st) as well, although we haven't booked anything yet. We want to stay at CS and was going to wait until Nov or Dec to book, maybe I'd better not wait that long. My brother has AAA, so he's going to look into booking thru them.

 

[Jill2150]

We are going April 29-May 3rd, count me in!

 

[CLynnJones]

We will be back at Fort Wilderness from May 22 to June 7th!! I'll be checking in with all of you a lot in the coming months. I was able to save a little over $100 yesterday with a AAA discount. I'm going to keep trying back for an
AP discount. Good Luck to us all!!

 

[GlowingEye]

Woot! Just put a hold on the room through AAA! Bokking within the next week! Disney on my B-day!

 

[mkcvol]

We are planning a trip may 1-9. Myself, my wife, and 2 boys 4 and 9 months.
We are trying to decide what would be best to do for this time. Does anyone remember any codes for non annual pass people for this time period last year? Did they run and dining plan specials or anything during this time?
Thanks and cannot wait to go back.

[Boatingmom]

Going too 4/25 through 5/2. Will make it a week later to save $ if I have to

 

[jmpurdy]

Our entire family, including grandson and not-born-yet baby will be at POP May 5-11, 2008. All our kids are adults and Disney is our favorite place to be together. Our son lives in Oregon and will also fly out to be with us.
He has not been on EE yet, so we can't wait to enjoy that with him!

 

[PolyAddict]

May 24-31 here!!!!

 

[mcco5543]

Just jumping on the code bandwagon. ..where do I look for them (besides here of course!!) I want to be able to help find them for all of us too!

 

[tarheelmjfan]

I'm joining the party too. I looked for this thread using the search function, but it didn't come up. mcco5543, thanks for bumping it up, so I could find it.

 

[tarheelmjfan]

I'll be going as well May 1st to May 7. Should be fun, Deluxe Dinning Plan here we come!

May 1st is our arrival date also. I can't decide whether we should book the DDDP or pay OOP & eat at the nicer restaurants that don't accept the dining plan. We're wanting to stay in an Epcot area resort, but haven't decided which one. Naturally, if we choose S/D, we won't be able to book the dining plan anyway. I'm glad I've got a while to decide.

 

[jstbcuz]

We're going May 27th to June 4th. Looking for a good rate on hotels tho havent decided which one for sure yet.

 

[BigGreen73]

05/05/2008 - 05/14/2008 for us!!! We will be staying at Pop Century.
