October 2012 Code Watch!!!

[icunurss]

I think that we are going to try and go back again in 2012!!! Thinking the 13th-20th. Hoping for some kind of discount....

We're booked for October 20-26 and will be going either way but a discount would be great. Right now we are booked at Pop but that may change depending on and discounts or pins. As of now we're very excited to be going and staying at Pop so any thing extra will add to our excitement.

I forgot that the we'll be there for October 25th which will be my 30th birthday! Just an added bonus.

We are booked! It is our 1st trip and our 10th Anniversary...

That deserves a GREAT code or FREE dining!

Looking for free dining for the first week of October, I hope history will repeat itself yet again. When was free dining announced for October this year?

 

[poofiesdream]

Planning a trip in mid-October! We had to cancel out last trip in September about two months before - DH just started a new job and did not have the vacation time. It was soooo disappointing - but the new job part was great! Hoping for a pin code or some good deals!

Hello I'm looking forward to our first trip with all our babies in Oct 2012! I'm so excited!

I too had a question about where there are black out dates and what that means?

And do you guys think they will do free dining or kids stay and play for free again?

So glad to be on board with you guys!

Ditto this exactly We always seem to go in cold weather so perhaps we can actually swim in October LOL

I am going to try and book a suite at the new Animation Hotel! Wishing for free dining to go along with Food and Wine festival.

We're planning on heading back to WDW the last 1/2 of October *my kids have no school 10/18 & 10/19 and I'll have them miss an additional 5 school days.

Free dining would be fantastic ~ we enjoyed it when we 1st visited WDW *10/09*

My wife and I, brother-in-law and his girlfriend are planning for the first week in October as well - can't wait!

Is Disney predictable in its dates based on past years - do they always pick the same dates for free dining? Where can i find a list of past dates where they've offered it? Thanks for your help!

Mousesavers has chart of past discounts.

I'm not sure what kind of discounts there will be next year. This year half of October was blacked out from free dining and had no GP discount out all. We can't decide if we want to take our chances with a discount or rent DVC points.

We're going for our anniversary in October. We've got a package through Triple A, but the agent said if any discounts or deals come up, she'll adjust our price. Will be keeping an eye out here to pass any discounts on to her to apply. We're celebrating our 30th, after honeymooning there, and are going all out, Contemporary tower, MK view, Deluxe Dining Plan, 8 Day Park Hopper, even though we're going a Saturday to Saturday, too. Want to get every minute at the park we can, even if we're only there half day for two of the days!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

I'm in! We had to cancel an October 2011 trip and rescheduled for April 2012. That doesn't look like it's going to happen. So, again shooting for mid-October 2012. My kiddos have 2.5 days off from school then so it would work out really well.

I'm with you on this... We can not decide which is better either! My mind would be totally made up already if I thought/knew there would be a YES program the week we want to go... So many factors...

 

[pachanga5]

My husband and I are planning our first family trip with our daughters who will be 11 and 7 next October. I am waiting to see what discounts will be offered during the week of Columbus day. *fingers crossed*

I have so many questions and don't even know where to begin. I haven't been to WDW since 1979...yes, I said 1979! I was four years old.

Can someone tell me what we need to do when booking as far as payment goes? Do we pay in full or put a certain percentage down? Thanks in advance!
