October 2009 Code Watch!!

[staceyeileen]

The "Stickys" at the top of the threads will answer most questions that are asked repeatedly on the boards.

Also read the paragraph about half way down the page here
http://www.mousesavers.com/disneyresorts.html
starting with "Postcard and Email Codes".

The stickys on the "Welcome to the Dis" forum will help you with information on how to post, and with finding some cool stuff around the site.

Welcome to the DisBoards!

Thanks... but I'm still missing it! I have read the stickies, and I know lots about codes, how to get them, where to look on these boards, etc. But once I actually HAVE a code I can't figure out how to use it (short of calling disney reservations). I don't see any place to enter the code when I am checking rates on the disney website.

You have to call.

Ooooh.. darn. I was afraid that would be the answer. Thanks for the info, though!

Who has codes for Oct? I have not seen anything yet. I thought that they came out in Aug/Sept.

*still praying for a code*

 

[senecabeach]

Got my room only ressies....now the wait for the AP codes to come out !!

 

[kutie78]

we are hopping to go. Hopefully a code will come our way and seal the deal for us.

 

[wdwmom0f3]

I am thinking that they will surly do something for a discount. Times are tough for so many people these days. I know a few families that normally go during that time, that will not be there this year.

 

[kkhworth]

I am SO excited! I think we are going to be able to go this year, after all! And, October will be when we do go~over fall break. I also hope to do MNSSHP!

 

[kkhworth]

double post, sorry!

Pricing things out, looks like I'm going to be able to afford to go back, I can't believe it LOL. But airfare is ridiculously cheap coming out of Cincinnati right now.

Worried about discounts- looking on the historical codes list thingy on Mousesavers, it looks like GP deals didn't come out til mid- August for early October last year. I remember discounts being thrown around like CRAZY last fall- but only a few of them were for early October? Doesn't seem right. Was kind of hoping for Free Dining.

So now I'm torn. Book now and hope for a good code for October, and get really good airfare. If I wait another couple months, maybe they'll offer BETTER codes for September but then I run the risk of losing the good airfare. Anyone have any thoughts? I'm over thinking this I know, but then I always do. LOL

I feel the same way, we are hoping to fly out of Seattle, but southwest airlines is the only airline that is letting us bring 2 bags for free. So here I am waiting hoping that the airlines and free dinning will come our way. Our last trip we missed free dinning by 2 days, because we were locked into our airline tickets by the time they afforded free dinning.

Mmm, there are some really good deals on airfare now.

Sometimes I wish that we were flying down, but we drive.... almost 8 hours with three kids.

If you are waiting on free dining, I think IF they have it, it's always early in the month of Oct. Like ending the first few days. We have never been able to get it and we normally go the first week or two in Oct.

Now, it would be GREAT if they would extend it this year!!!! That would save me a BUNCH of money! I am paying for 2 adult, 2 adult children & 1 child which it 170.00 a day for dining.

 

[DreaGirl]

I wish we could get free dining!! We got a code last year for November with free dining and it was so nice.

WDWMom, I don't like to think of the cost per day...it takes me away from my happy thoughts. lol

 

[wdwmom0f3]

I'm trying not to. It's still worth it, but I just would like to see some type of discount. Especially with all of the offers out there for the times that we can't go.

 

[mickekmania]

I was wondering what your opinions are as far as extending the 7 for 4 deals that have been going on throughou the year. The deal is currently going on throught August right now

 

[Kat73]

It's a really good deal and would help a lot of people out if they extended it, I know. It's not going to help ME out any because I'm doing a five night, four days in the parks trip this fall probably. So I'm kind of hoping for a room only discount or FD.

I can't fathom why they cut the 7 for 4 deal off mid-August, unless they're planning to switch off to a diff. deal for the slower season?

My DH seems to think that they are going to extend it or do some sort of free dining deal. I hope we get something!!

My parents asked me to be their "tour guide" to Disney World, I just have to pay my airfare . We're shooting for first week of October, maybe 4th-9th and we're hoping to stay Deluxe. 40% would be PERFECT, but I'll take any code I can get!

That would be great if they did extend the free dining. The 4 for 7 deal will only save me about 510.00, which is good but the free dining would save me over a thousand.
