May 2014 Discout Watch

[TeachTink]

Call from multiple phones using multiple numbers.

Can't all of this be done online and save a ton of stress? Do the deals sell out so fast that I couldn't get online around, say, 9am and get the deal online?

I think if you are flexible with your date and resort choice, you don't need to be as worried. I have a specific date, resort, and even view I am requesting, so I am going to need to move swiftly!

you all rock - I've been watching the thread for awhile - caught the post about the discount coming out too late Thursday night but booked first thing Friday morning - AS Music for our May trip (first SWW!). Of course I'm still crossing my fingers for an extra AP discount but at least we're booked (with a discount)!

Thanks all!

Isn't POR supposed to be 25%?

Yes. When I called I was told POFQ was only 5%, so I booked Riverside and got 25%.

I'll be switching to All Star Music on Monday...May 28-June 7 am excited to see the savings

If you're booking an entirely new reservation yes. In fact, in the past, the online booking has begun as early as midnight....giving people online a seven hour head start.

I have POR booked for early May for 12 nights with a package. I was planning on phoning first thing Monday morning to see if I could apply the discounts and change to BC the last 5 nights.

Should I be worried there will not be any availability for me by the time I get through? Am I better off to book new package/room only online and phone later to cancel my original booking?

I don't know why I am so stressed out about this! Lol

 

[whodatdare]

no way?!?!? I hate all that automated stuff.

Worked for me two years ago. Unless they changed the system, don't see why not... probably pushed it 10-15 times fairly rapidly : )

 

[Loveslsu]

I am so glad I checked the threads today!!! I will call first thing on Monday to see if I can get a discount on my Contemporary room. Thanks all!

 

[gogo65]

I will booking our rooms online.
I have read they load the discounts onto the website at midnight, but can anyone let me know what time zone??
Just doing it from Australia, thanks

My assumption would be EST since they use it for everything else.

I am going with my pop and staying at POP Century April 29th thru May 7th. I have to be at work at 7:30am. So my question is should I be alright trying to get a discount applied to my package after 5:30pm or will I be out of luck. We already have a room requested in the 50's building facing hourglass lake near a smoking section for my dad. Will I be able to keep that request for him or have to change it. I have been waiting for a discount to come which is why I have not paid the trip off entirely yet.

where were you staying and how many days ?

 

[MrsDef]

I was able to get $800 off my Wilderness Lodge ressie.
The odd thing is the CM couldn't tell me exactly what the offer was... I was shocked I got it using my Disney debit.

 

[Disney Mommy D]

I plan on calling Monday, 7am on the dot. Anyone have any advice as to the quickest way to speak to a CM? There just seem to be so many hoops to jump through before speaking to a CM. Just want to prepared for Monday!

Silly question but I am assuming they start answering at 7:00 am Orlando time? Is that correct?

Yes 7am Eastern time is when the phone lines open
