OFFICIAL JULY 2009 THREAD!!! The wait is on!!!

[ImTooExcitedToSleep]

Ok. Now the hard decision.

Do we stay at Pop Century and have more spending money?

OR

Do we upgrade to a Moderate Resort for not much more than we're paying now??? Which Moderate Resort do you recommend??

Or do we use the extra money to change our plane tickets and stay another night (since the 7th night would be free anyway)??

my vote would be pop century with more spending money

 

[bennythepug]

150 days to go.

until a week a ago we were booked for April vacation, and were well into double didgets. ugh....we had to bump our trip back to July and now were back up to 150...I hate moving backwards

That is my plan to stay at All Star Music and use any savings for spending. More Sruff!

 

[dolfinjuls]

I say stay value and have the extra spending money or stay the extra day to be in the World longer!

It's nice to see so many other crazies like me. When you tell someone you are going to disney in July- do their eyes get big- like are you crazy? (the heat in Florida) um, yeah I know how it is in July...been there done that going back .
oh- but wait it gets better. we are tent camping at FW. Don't worry though, we'll be at Disney

Does anyone know if the online reservation system for dining is up?

I just went to the web site and did not seen any evidence that it was up and running. Maybe I just couldn't find it. I will have to ask next time I call. Lois

Thanks!

Thanks!

I even went back and explored "My Reservation" and found no link to anything that would allow for ADR to be made on line. I wish they would get it up and going so they can work the bugs out before April. I wonder what the hold up is, I understood that they expected to have it up by now. Oh well, I kinda like calling the CM to make my ressies. LOis

I originally wasn't going to take advantage of this deal because we are staying 6 nights, not 7 and we have APs so we really don't need a package. But my TA e-mailed me this morning and it works out to save me $277 over my AAA rate, plus, now I'll have 1-day base tickets to put towards a future trip! I'm so excited!!! Every little bit helps!

Excellent.

I should be hearing from my TA this morning, but just checking the website, we should be saving at least $221!! Not bad for doing nothing.

OMG I love all of you so much for updating about the 4 for 7 deal being extended! Not only are we saving money, but we are upgrading from CSR to AKL with a Savannah View!!!! This is going to be the most incredible honeymoon ever! I am so excited I could cry!

We're now paying less for our Deluxe than we were for our Moderate.

I tried to talk DW into upgrading (either to a Moderate for nearly free or Deluxe for more), but I think instead we might upgrade to Deluxe Dining and pig out all week.

I am going to try and convince my family to do the buy 4 get 3. It already will be cheaper than what we are doing now. I want to stay on property and eat food all day. I need some pixie dust!!! Since we would qualify for the grand gathering, does anyone know what that entails? Thanks!

TA (AAA) got the price right, but is telling me that I can't add an additional night because it's not available. Of course, when I look at the WDW website it IS available. We have the reservation for 7/26-8/1, but wanted to book 7/26-8/2, since the 7th night is free.

Has anyone else had this issue??

So glad you're able to take advantage of the awesome deal! What a great way to spend honeymooning!

I would just book it myself from the website if I were you. Since you can get this deal on your own, you don't need AAA anymore to get a discount from them. If they can't help you get this deal then you don't need them!

I would if we hadn't already booked (before this offer came out and AAA was still lower), but we'd have to cancel with them, then rebook.

Any ideas how long it takes Disney to refund your $200 deposit??
