So far we haven't heard of any generic Disney Visa discounts, right? The only one for January and beyond is the Riviera one?

correct - just AP, Florida resident, or open to everyone.

It actually looks like Disney has pulled the AP and FL Resident offers. They are no longer on the website.

Strange. Maybe weren’t supposed to release them just yet?

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. It sure is a bummer to have them pulled back when you’re about to book though. I bet the phone CM are getting slammed with calls.

Disney phone lines were down for a good part of the morning today.

yeah, I was chatting with my TA and she said they are slammed with requests and that there have been technical issues too



just and FYI for those following along with my situation ... there was nothing available at CBR or CSR for the discount for rooms that slept 5 and nothing came up for at the deluxes iether with the deal. I could get into either a family suite at All Stars or to a room that sleeps 5 at Port Orleans Riverside but looked like it would work out to be more expensive per night than what I am paying with my current reservation at CBR without the deal

FYI - short video from that media event I mentioned about yesterday related to the new Plan Based Food Offerings:

Yep . Port Orleans French Quarter . for the same time period as last year .. (last week of March - Sunday night through Thursday) .. the Gift of Magic discount (normal, non-passholder discount) is about $100/night more expensive than what I paid for a Preferred room (with AP discount) last year). Even the week before is still $60/night more.

And this is with Easter in mid-April.

If Values "normal" price are going to be over $150 and Moderates are going to be over $300/night WITH discounts .. I don't see staying onsite next trip next year (IF we make one).

Already cancelling what was to be our final trip for our AP in November .. I just can't stomach the cost (as it is being planned last minute and thus no discounts) (and frankly, struggling with ditching the kids (still young) for 4-5 days. Heh.

You can pre-order the One Day at Disney book now and can stream the documentary starting December 3rd (kinda surprised this isn't available at launch of Disney+ - but maybe I missed that being the case)

I like this. My least favorite unfortunately is the Whimsical Garden... maybe it looks better at night. With that name I was hoping for more like... um, a whimsical garden...

Maybe it overlooks a whimsical garden?
