Okay fellow DIS'ers! I have a question for you. When you go on WDW's site under specials, where it lists the 3 promotions available down at the bottom you'll see the dates. They show:

**Select dates:
January 2 - February 16, 2011
February 27 - March 10, 2011
May 1 - June 2, 2011
August 14 - November 18, 2011
November 26 - December 22, 2011

But...when I called they told me that none of them apply to November 26-December 22. Well.....why are they listed? Any one have any thoughts on this?

Where are you seeing those dates? I can't find anything like that? Most of the specials seem to end by October 1st. Something in November would be nice.

Don't know if this is 'legal' or not, but here's the direct link to the page on Disney's Website:
http://bookwdw.reservations.disney....arket=fy11myw&int_CMP=ILP-WDWHome_FY11MYWTile

It's the whole way down at the bottom of the page.

Those prices don't seem to be specials. I think they are just promoting how much is costs per day at regular rate during that season. I might be wrong, but it sure doesn't look like a savings to me.

You know what...I think you're right! My Bad!! Big Ooops!!

Let's just say it was my subconcious WISHING for a good discount during those time frames!

 

[DisMomAmy]

I agree... It doesn't look like any kind of discount to me - I ran a few reservations and they seem to be rack rate. Not sure why they only list certain dates though??

 

[nemofans]

Are those actual discounts or just pricing out what the cost is for a value w/tix &/or quick dining plan? I don't see any discount codes w/them.
All the special offers w/discount codes only go thru Oct. 1st.

 

[nemofans]

Ah, I see others have commented faster than me. They probably list those dates b/c the other dates are holidays & the cost would be much more.

 

[Michigan_tinkerbell]

We are going Nov 2-8 still wishing for some kind of discount. PLEASE Disney I need a discount.

 

[CarissaDance]

Probably by June...You can look at the 2010 calendar for November and get a decent idea of how the crowd trends usually go for that month...but not the accurate park hours...

Thank you!

I booked two rooms from November 10-16. Had something unusual happen this time when I talked to reservations. I was asked if my dates were set in stone. and I said not really. I was then offered Coronado one week later for six nights for only $100 more (per room). Even though my dates weren't set in stone, this would have put us a little too close to Thanksgiving so I didn't switch ressies. After booking was complete I asked for another explanation of the Coronado offer. I was told that since I had said no at the beginning, she could not offer the deal again.

Anyone else have this happen to them, and I could now kick myself.

I had something similar happen on Friday. I called on the off chance there was a pin code attached to my name/address, but it just hadn't gotten to my email yet. Gave him dates and where we wanted to stay (WL)......he asked if we were set on WL because a "flex offer" had just popped up on the screen for the Yacht Club --- same nights, $60 more (total), with "free" Quick Service Dining. I booked it because he said once he clicks out of the "flex offer" it doesn't come back.

I later cancelled though - it was still over $300/night, and my DH really doesn't want to stay there. We are trying to go totally budget, and are planning on staying @ Hilton Bonnet Creek through Last Minute Travel for $97/night this time.

Damn, that was a good deal. When we booked our vacation I passed on a flex deal that I wish I would have jumped on. I originally booked AKL and was offered a deal at the Yacht Club. Looking back, I wish I would have just because of the Yacht Clubs location. Since then, I have switched my resort to the WL. That is interesting that they are offering a free dining plan for November.

Just checking in on November offers, anything yet?? We are going week after T-day! YA!!

 

[allielew]

We always go a week in mid december and I start looking for discounts in the summer. This year we bought an RV and I don't know what to look for in discounts for fort wilderness. we are AP and AAA members.

 

[dmoore718]

So, to get the flex offer, I assume you have to call and it won't come up online, right?
