May 2011 Code Watch

[kadesha]

UGH!!! So disappointed! Got mail from Disney and was so excited to open it thinking I got a pin code! It was just about the already announced free dining dates next year! I was so hoping for free dining mid-May!

I got one too. Something about Mickey mail gets me excited but seeing a pin code is a dream

I think they are playing with me because I got a "Disney Destinations" email too that was pretty much the same thing! lol! I still got my fingers crossed though!

Yes, I had pin codes thru the end of December but I haven't got any for May. I always get them but with my luck I won't get any for the time that I can actually go!!! I know they have already sent out a batch of them but I didn't get one. I can't swing it without some kind of deal.

We are going May 5th thru May 13th.. I am pretty happy with what we are paying right now. We went 2 years ago and paid more than what we are paying now and we didn't have to pay for DS because he was only 2.. Plus, the airfare from Boston to Orlando right now so cheap.. Under $600 for the 3 of us roundtrip.. If a code comes out that will just be a bonus..

Well, I now get to come to the May board. I had a reservation for BCV at the end of March but the airfare is running nearly $600 PP so unless it comes down we are going to cancel. We have until Nov. 30th when I have to bank my points for the price to drop. If it doesn't our back up plan is to leave when the kids get our of school. We went early May last year and found the weather to be perfect!

I will need to get a room for one night when we arrive and then we go over to BCV and Vero at the end.

Waiting from something good end of May.

I just do not understand this. We are doing everything the same that we always do and I'm paying more than I ever have!

Oh boy, so I am planning a trip for May 27-June 3 to take advantage of free dining but with Gay Days and Memorial Day wknd, is this going to be a bad idea? As far as attendance goes? Any thoughts?

 

[EricMat]

A Disney World vacation Is never a bad idea!
Gay days won't affect crowd levels that much. Memorial weekend will probably have a stronger effect on crowds.

But... With a good touring plan, I'm sure you'll have a wonderful vacation!

I just booked for may 4 to 14 at the WL. I called and just asked if there were any deals for my dates. I believe the castmember just tried the random pins on my dates to see if one would work. I ended up getting the % off room only discount. She said the offer got e-mailed to me but it was an address I no longer use. The price went from ~3800 to ~2500 for the 10 nights! I have been dancing with joy ever since because I really wanted to stay deluxe again but really needed the pin to help cut the costs! Now I just have to get my ADR's together for my 180 days out! Oh and I need to make a new ticker!!!! That will have to wait til I get home an are not posting from my phone! So just call and see if the cm can get any deals to work for you.

I just got off the phone with Disney and forgot to ask about deals during the time I'm there. -snaps fingers- Oh well. I'm happy with the price I'm paying for my stay at POFQ. I'll have to call back anyways once I book my flights to add Magical Express.

The person I talked to was such a sweetie. He was really nice.

What a nice bit of luck... Still hoping I get what pin mailed to me - or a public one is offered. I am Ok with what I am paying - but would love to either save some $$$ or upgrade to club!

That's awesome!!! We really want to stay deluxe again too. I'm booked at CSR 5/5-5/13, but we really wanted WL. I just can't do it this year without a discount. I call Disney once a week to check. I've really been wanting to try CSR, but it kills me that I'm paying almost the same amount I paid last year to stay at BWI. We're staying an extra night this time, but I had a 40% off pin last year.
