I have been researching my family vacation (mom, dad, me, my 2 sisters, 3 husbands/wives and 5 grandchildren) 13 total for the past 2 months on here.
Great source of info on here
All but my younger sister and her husband (she was 7 mos pregnant and the baby came a month early!) were at CBR for a week in Oct 2006 and loved it.
We were resigned to staying at one of the Moderates but were undecided so far for our Nov 2008 trip. We were getting together at my parents cabin this weekend and we were gonna nail down the details for this years trip
Yesterday, inspired by this thread, I had each one of the family members call Disney and ask if we had any codes..
My parents called back with a 40% code!!
Only problem was he was told he could only use it for 3 rooms total
Since my family was goiing for only 6 days, and the rest 8 days, it made sense that the 40% discounts go to the families who were staying for the week, leaving me hi and dry (but not bitter, well, not too bitter lol)
When my wife and kids decided to only do 6 days (we are the only ones who have 2 school age kids) and were spending a little less than our original budget, we started looking at the deluxe resorts, really liking the Boardwalk and beach resorts. The rest of the family wasn't completely sold on spending the extra for the deluxe
So dad and my sister burned up the Disney phone lines this morning. I told them to make thier reservations and I would look at my AAA discount or other alternatives
My sister told the Disney reservation our story, that we were thinking of upgrading to a deluxe and that one family (me) wouldn't be included in the 40% discount. Disney wanted my sister to commit but she didn't want to without talking it over with the rest of us, and she asked if she could call the reservation operator back a little later, the operator said no, BUT took my sisters number and said she would call her back in a short while.
The operator called back in a little while and said she had good news, she spoke to her superiors and we could get all 4 famlies in on the 40% discount!!
So we are in, Beach Club in Nov 2008!!!!!!
I don't know how they did it or if its just Disney Magic (or our special angel above looking out for us
) but we are in!!!!
Thanks for the idea to call Disney and see if we were in the system. I have to go to the Beach Club forum and read dozens of pages to get us familiar with the new digs!!!!

and I can use it for July and November also 
the code I got is NOT GOOD for me at all for any of the trips I will be taking, I would have had to change my dates and resorts, and i was not able to play around with any dates......just my luck
