If it was buy 4 get 1 free that would be a 20% discount. Of course if you stay longer than than 5 nights your discount would be lower. 20% is better than nothing, but compared to some of the discount offered in the past it's pretty disappointing.

If it is a free park day, that offers absolutely nothing for those with Annual Passes

to me making the announcement on NYE lets me think that they are trying to reach a wider audience. They know that annual passholders will return and return. Not a dig just my thoughts on it

That is true, but I just think at this point the general public is well aware of free dining and their 4 for 3 deals, or the children play free deal they had a few years ago. To go with ONE day free at this point, the public would laugh I think!

the ones that keep up with the Disney discounts and people that have travelled to Disney in the last few years. You would be amazed at how many people that I work with that have no idea of any discounts or how offers work for Disney. I think they are trying to reach people that aren't as familiar with Disney vacations. Doing it during the NYE party in NYC lets me think they are trying to appeal to more adults

I agree. There are lots of people that I work with or associate with that have no clue that Disney offers any promotions. They have even looked at the Disney site and didn't notice the special offers tab.

 

[autismgoesdisney]

Do these people live under a rock?!?! LOL Everyone I know, even aunts and uncles know about the Disney promotions!

I know! What the heck is wrong with these people? Don't they live and breathe Disney like we do? Seriously, it amazes me how many people don't do their research about Disney and their promos.

 

[loganpaulsmom]

What would be the best deal is if you book a trip and then you get an extra day of dining.. It would be completely worth it to me to have a whole extra day of CS AND TS.. that would allow me to do my signatures and NOT pay OOP..

We typically visit Orlando for 3-4 days every year because we split between parks and the beach, even though we are disneyholics. Therefore, we usually only buy a 2 day ticket as the 1st day we arrive too late and the last day we leave early to get to our beach destination. So, for us, a "free" day in the parks would be great and we would consider staying longer. We only stay on property if there is a good room only discount. Just wondering if this is typical type of stay for general public. We would never come down for a week and not spend at least 3 days at the beach as we are trying to get the most vacation variety and value for our time and money. Should be interesting announcement.

so wait a minute...

is MK really open 24 hrs on Leap day or is that speculation? I have not really been on the boards much since we got back from our oct trip.
I ask b/c my 3 yr old was born on leap day, so this year is his first REAL bday and I was considering taking him on a mommy/son 3 night DCL or a weekend at the parks.

I'm almost positive that was one of the things they announced during the Christmas day parade.

Ooooohhhhh! Going to have to go! Only problem is finding a flight at a decent price.

A few tips that have helped me is to check your airlines of choice off peak hours, like late Wednesday or Thursday nights for a Tuesday through Thursday departure (generally cheaper days to fly) and clear your browser history after each search. Often there's something attached to your computer ("cookie" maybe?) that keeps the record of what price they gave you last time so it won't show you the newer, cheaper price.

Worked for me last trip! Price went from $500 to $350 from one hour to the next.

Great, thank u!

 

[Broncobilly83]

Does anyone know when during the 4+ hour broadcast this announcement will be done?

 

[MickeyEars]

That's a great question Broncobilly83, I was just thinking the same thing when I saw your post. That's an awfully long time to watch and wait!!!
No worries though it will be here on the DIS as soon as anyone knows.
I love these boards...
