May 2009 code watch

[kgle]

Well I will keep an eye on this thread...although I just booked for the buy 4 get 3 deal.

Just me and my son...7 days 7 nights for $708.99. Not bad at all! We will be driving down though because I have family in Land O Lakes. I am pretty excited. I have never been to WDW before! We will be there the 11th-18th of May.

Wow! $708? Where are you staying? I want to book a room at Pop for me and my DH and it was around $1600. I guess the biggest different was that I got the dining plan. But really? That much more expensive?

I am staying at POP, but he is free since he will be under 3. I didn't add a dining plan either...I haven't decided if I plan on eating on site that often while we are there. I think if I add a deluxe it will add around $180 onto the cost. I also didn't get park hopper or water park tickets, since he is so young.

If this helps- if I add my sister (with no DDP) it brings the cost up to $945 I believe for 7 days/7 nights, I don't know what it would be if we added dining then.

ETA: I just priced it out for 2 adults at POP for the same days as me (7days/nights) and without a preferred room and the deluxe dining plan it is around $1500. I guess it is that much more expensive with another adult and a DDP!

I am hoping to go May 21-28. I booked it at POP with a pin code I got in an
e-mail that came with a free 500 dollar gift card. I am thinking of upgrading to CBR but I am not sure. We may cancel the trip if the economy does not get better. I have not told the kids yet. Does anyone think it is wise to upgrade to CBR from POP?

Oh okay! Well, thanks anyways! Amazing how much one adult adds, huh? But I guess it makes sense -- it is pretty much double the price!

[suzimar57]

when are codes for May released?

(planning ahead for May 2011....)

 

[Nicole786]

Hoping to book WL or POFQ (depending on rate) for May 10-17th. I'd like to put a deposit to secure one of them fairly soon. Which do you think would book up first? I really want to stay WL, but don't want to miss out on POFQ if I end up not being able to afford WL.

How long are you going for Nicole? If you want to book the Stay 4 nights get three free deal you have to book by Dec 20th I believe.

I think i'll do better as a passholder + dining so i opted out of the 4/3 deal. Does anyone have any recollection of what was offered as a discount last year? I'd like to start pricing it out for my dad but I can't find anything

Someone posted last year's May codes earlier in this thread.

I think that was me, but I can't find it now (I'm pretty sure I posted the dates they were released, but not what the discounts were since I don't know that.)

Awesome, thanks! I have this printed out.

 

[jordancej]

Just bought AP, thinking also about passing on the 4/3 deal... doesnt look that appealing to me, and i think i can do better with a room only rate.... atleast thats what i'm hoping for!!!

 

[Tarheel girl 1975]

We have AP and went with the 4/3 deal anyway. If a good passholder code comes out we'll cancel and rebook. We've gone from package to room only to package again already. What's one more change?

 

[rentayenta]

I am hoping for a pass holder rate too.

 

[Nicole786]

I calulcated and saw that compared to last years numbers, the AP discount is better than 4/3 so i decided to wait
