Room Discounts 8/16 - 10/3 Info

[Mikie]

Anyone else surprised the FD goes up to 12/23, which basically means it's easy to get free dining over your whole vacation during the wildly popular Christmas/new year week, yet nearly all of the mildly popular October month is excluded? Even the entirety of popular summer months has a discount. Ick. Would have LOVED FD, or to "settle" for a RO that I could get squared away now, but I've still got to hold out til summer for some kind of Oct discount. . .

It says riverside

You can check in on Oct. 3rd and qualify for the RO discount, correct?

No with RO all days must be included. It's not like FD.

Riverside is included in the room discounts, but not free dining

Ugh, that's right. Wishful thinking trying to make this work I guess.

Joe - When would you guess they would open up the rest of October for RO discounts? August?

I actually need verification on this too. It only stated French Quarter was excluded, was Riverside as well?

It might actually depend on the date. I asked for 8/30-9/2 (Labor Day weekend) and was quoted $306 for POFQ and $366.20 for POR Preferred. POFQ was included in the room discount for those dates.

Can someone verify the RO for Contemporary 9/13? I'm at work and can't call! Hoping it's 30% but in the past it's only been 20

They DO have it availble but not with TPV in club level :-( I was too late even after my 1:30:46 on hold. Hoping they'll do it for GP next week.

Thanks! That's what I was hoping - I was having a mini-panic attack, because I knew it wasn't valid for free dining, but it almost sounded like someone said it also wasn't included in room discounts (though it wasn't on the list).

To open a new credit card so I can book today or not....that is the question.

You can't get the card and book today. You have to have the card in hand.

Good to know! We're going a couple weeks later (9/21-9/25), so hoping one of the two will be included for those dates. I have a 10% I can use regardless, but this would be much better for us.

Well, guess that makes my choice easy - I'll have to wait for next Wednesday.

What was the percentage?

 

[LaurLaur04]

Contemporary is once again only 20%. Glad I got the MM package so I at least got the 20% plus free MM!

 

[Vernie822]

I am sooo indecisive it’s ridiculous! We are only doing 4 park days, so our arrival/MNSSHP/offsite day are at the beginning of our stay (3 days at AOA). We are currently at POR with the garden view room and MM package.. but we are thinking of upgrading to BC/BCV for the RO discount for our final 4 days.

Discounts vary greatly depending on the resort and date you choose. Here's the best guideline I can do, and realize it may be lower than these depending on your circumstances. Value Resorts - up to 20% off Moderate Resorts - up to 25% off Deluxe Resorts - up to 30% off.....

 

[SomePixiedust]

Black...thank you for all of your help and work!

After not even being able to get through for over 30 minutes this morning, all of a sudden I got through and only waited 5 minutes on hold. Was able to book YC garden view cheaper than standard at BWI

Waiting for December RO. Do you get the feeling Disney is trying to permanently cut back the Deluxe offers from 35% to 30%?

I was able to get a room only discount at POFQ in a river view room. My dates are 9/21-9/27.

If you're not in a big rush to book and aren't set on one particular resort, I'd wait and see when the public discount comes out to see if you can stack it with one of the travel website codes. I have a list of about 7 different resorts/room types that we are interested in so I don't HAVE to HAVE a specific resort booked right away. I'm hoping to stack the Disney discount with a 15 or 20% off code from Orbitz/CheapTickets/Expedia etc. The only catch is that you have to pay in full at the time of booking.
