Resort Changers--The Saga Continues.....

Weird :confused3

It's coming up for me without the tickets, but the price is still higher than the price I already got with the earlier discount. I had to try it on Internet Explorer for it to work for me at all.

So no switching for me - especially when the Poly is coming in at 1600 and AKL CL only cost me a little over 600. ;)
 
CR Fan, what are your dates so I can plug them in for you? :goodvibes
 

Sorry I haven't been here all that much! I've been working the past 7 days straight and I have been exhausted since they have been 7-8 hour shifts. I'm going to update my TR tomorrow since I have the day off. I'm waiting for August so I can book a room for October for the Food and Wine Festival. Though I really want to go back in May again, but I want my boyfriend to try beers that he has never tried before. Such a hard decision. :sad1:

I just bought a Disney World magnet on EBay because I forgot to buy one at DW. My family collects magnets and that was the one thing I forgot to buy. It was only $8 and free shipping. Totally made my day after having a terrible day at work. :sad2:
 
So as I was reading the PP, I HAD to call Disney to see if I could apply a discount to our stay, and then asked about how much would it be if .............................................WAIT FOR IT...................Polynesian:lmao::lmao::lmao: We are staying Garden View, but it's too funny, because my original, original resort when I started planning this trip was Poly, I have come full circle. Am I finally done?:rotfl: I kinda defeated the purpose of going with a value to save money over WL Deluxe room. But I'm still saving a little money:goodvibes Not telling DH, no way!

$600!!! That's fantastic! How the heck did you manage that? How many ngts?

CR Resort Fan 4 Life - I tried again and was going to put in your dates, but right now it will not even take me to put in dates. When I click on the room only (right above the military discount) it takes back to the exact same page.:confused3

pas130 ~ :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
 
Minnie&Nana I know, YAY:cheer2: The computer was driving me nuts, some weird glitch. Luckily the CMs are pretty awesome :laughing: Too funny cause Sunday I was on expedia looking possibly for offsite condo, and the Disney rooms came up with discounts, so I figured something was in the works.....The CM said to me today, WOW Jeanette, you've made a lot of changes, I am sure you will love the Polynesian:rotfl:

kaffinito How's the summer plans coming? Fla or HHI?

CRFan Are you changing from BC? Try expedia just to price it out...popcorn::

disneydreamin247 I hope the long weekend helped you. Plus extra time with DS and DD:goodvibes
 
I just tried it again and it's still not fixed. The offer is coming up as a Magic Your Way Package with tickets for 5 days.

Here are the details and here is the booking link:

http://bookwdw.reservations.disney....s/processEngine?process=false&pageRender=true

I plugged-in the CR for 8-31 to 9-4 for you and there are no CL rooms, but it is $1481 for a Tower/BLV room and $1616 for a Tower/TPV for 3 adults.

The GF is $1886 for a std. (SL) CL room, which I think you and your parents prefer. There is also a RPC/TPV room for $2561.

I had to click-on the details of the offer on the special offers page many times before it would actually go to the booking page. Hope this info. helps:goodvibes



Travel Dates: August 14 – October 1, 2011

Walt Disney World has released new room only discounts for the general public for travel during the travel dates listed above. Walt Disney World guests can save up to 30% off the non-discounted price when booking a room at Walt Disney World for stays most nights August 14 – October 1, 2011. Only the nights that are within the travel dates will be discounted. You must check in during the travel dates listed above, however, your reservation can extend past the end date of October 1, but only the nights during the available periods will be discounted. Rates may not be available all nights, and weekend nights may be higher priced.

Some Sample Nightly Rates:

Pop Century, standard room: $69
Caribbean Beach, standard view room: $129
Caribbean Beach, standard view pirate room: $159

Neither the park passes or dining plans are discounted. You must add park passes to the reservation on order to book one of the Disney Dining plans.

Yeah! You're going in October?! How exciting. If DBF wants to try different beers anytime of the year at WDW, he could drink "beers around the world" by having a beer in each Epcot World;)

So as I was reading the PP, I HAD to call Disney to see if I could apply a discount to our stay, and then asked about how much would it be if .............................................WAIT FOR IT...................Polynesian:lmao::lmao::lmao: We are staying Garden View, but it's too funny, because my original, original resort when I started planning this trip was Poly, I have come full circle.

:worship: OK, you've officially been crowned the Queen of Changes. I saw your post first on the Poly Pics. thread and was confused, so I looked at your ticker and saw that Poly, which was GF, which was WL which was AS was now POLY! (Did I get that right?) Is DH totally happy with this? Are you staying CL or still doing the DDP? Well, I wish our dates overlapped, but I'll be sure to taste test those Lapu Lapus for you;). Congratulations on the Poly:hug:
 
I LOVE THIS THREAD!!!!!

I feel so at home here. ;):grouphug:

I don't even have anything booked yet and my poor friend's head is swirling from all the resort possibilities I keep mentioning!

Our budget is going to be very tight....BUT.....if I save like crazy, maybe I could surprise her with BC or BWI.....my choice would be Poly or GF, but EPCOT is her favorite park. Thing is, for me, no place compares to Poly or GF. What to do??? Not a fan of those small BC rooms and the step out balconies are awful!!

Must admit I would definitely consider BWI CL if another of those 45% codes came out like 2009....wild dream, I know.:rolleyes1

Welcome home, Christine:rotfl:

If you do stay at the Poly, all you Wild Nanas have to do is walk to the TTC to go to your friend's favorite park;).
 
So once I officially book next years trip when the rates come out, will I be shunned as being no longer a resort changer..LOL:lmao:

Of course not! Once you book, we hang around hoping you might need to tweak something and then we provide valuable FREE advice and moral support. Oh, and many hugs:grouphug: BTW, you can even book before the rates come-out and they will automagically adjust - so I've heard.
 
You're welcome, but it looks like you're not changing? I thought because of the exterior rehab. construction at the BC you might consider changing if there were a discount.
I will admit that the construction talk got me a little worried, however from the recent posts on the Yacht Club/Beach Club FAQ thread it seems like it's almost over and not around the Club Level room areas. Plus when I asked my Dad if he wanted to possibly change he said no let's keep the Beach Club reservation to do something different. He also said since were only staying there for 4 nights if there was any other construction it wouldn't be a big deal.

Exactly! My family (and the friends I've been able to convince ;)) have had many Poly stays, mostly in Tokelau (which I am finally no longer calling Maui lol), but I don't think Rosie would go for the Poly. It's okay...it's just that I can stay at Poly or GF happily without CL (no interest in Poly CL), but an EPCOT resort is a different story. Other than the walk from IG, which is fabulous, the Epcot resorts are kind of boring. Only had 3 stays over there though (BC, BWV & 5 Dolphin stays). :confused3

Anyone here recommend any of the EPCOT resorts? what do you love about it? Suggestions?:goodvibes
 
Yeah! You're going in October?! How exciting. If DBF wants to try different beers anytime of the year at WDW, he could drink "beers around the world" by having a beer in each Epcot World;)

I figured Food and Wine Festival would be perfect since there will be more countries to try drinks from. My boyfriend is a beer snob so he is pretty picky when it comes to beer. :rotfl: He will gladly try an IPA he hasn't tried. lol Though May might be better because of how the crowds were. I wouldn't mind doing the second week of May again. 5 days was perfect. I would choose the latest flight on Friday so I can get another day in. lol It mostly depends on work for my boyfriend. I think going in October will give both of us time to save up money especially since he has bills.

I also updated my TR! It includes my trip to Epcot and DTD. The dinner will be in a separate post which I will probably write tonight or tomorrow. Not sure yet.
