Room only discount code club

[cyb]

Don't you guys think maybe they were waiting for the Aug/Sept free dining offer to close?

We aren't looking for "free" dining we are looking for room only discounts

I know that. It's why I'm subscribed to this thread. I just thought maybe that was still a possiblity.

It seems that maybe they are waiting for the free dining offer to close before the room discount offer starts.. I think you are right!

Wow, I thought my house is busy... You are about to have 4 kids 6 and under!! You must have the patience of a saint!

It isn't necessarily about being able to afford it though... Sometimes it is about bang for the buck. And the reason so many of us expect discounts is because Disney has offered them practically year round for the last decade or so... and raised their rack rates accordingly (Poly rack rate has nearly doubled since '04, for example, and is $200 per night more than the much more luxurious Waldorf at Bonnet Creek).

Disney created this dynamic - rack rate at their resorts is like suggested retail for consumer goods or sticker price on a car, something that only the least savvy/least informed guests pay. And while they might like to get away from that dynamic it isn't going to happen overnight, particularly in a weak economy and with their product priced so significantly above the competition.

Ahhh, you made feel wanted once again.. Seriously though, I do know that my taking time off from Disney will not affect them in the least, but I also know that my $$$$ will being going elsewhere and to me, I am taking a miniscule stand, for what it's worth.
And...the method behind my madness (or should I say the madness behind my method) is that with these new targeted discounts, perhaps when the computer notices a once faithful visitor has left the building, perhaps those pins will start showing up once more???

I'm sick and tired of waiting, I have to make dining reservations, make ressies for my dog for a vacation villa at Best Friends and these things all depend on a room only discount, I can afford rack rate but I'm not silly enough to pay it as rooms are way over priced
($400-$500 per night at the Poly is ridiculous) by the time discounts come out I'll have to eat at a food court somewhere and board my dog elsewhere instead of Best Friends. Sorry just had to vent, does anyone agree?

You could always book a room, make your ADRs and your Best Friends reservation, and then cancel your room if no discount comes out and you book elsewhere. Your ADRs and Best Friends reservations aren't tied to your room after the 180 days passes.

OK - just want to be sure I get what you are saying: We have a room booked onsite for our trip in Dec. I made all my dining reservations a while back. If I decided to cancel our onsite room to stay offsite my dining reservations would not be cancelled? Thanks so much.

That's correct - your ADRs will not be cancelled. They are tied to your phone number, not your room reservation, since off-site guests can make ADRs too (just not the 180+10).

Since I don't have a pet, I'm not 100% sure about Best Friends - I'd call them, but I doubt that it's tied to a room reservation.

If the AP dates work for your trip and you just haven't found availability don't give up.

I was finally able to book an AP discount for our entire trip at the WL - courtyard view

I'll second this. I've been checking daily for availability at the Poly CL (with AP discount) for our trip, and finally a room opened up for our dates just this past week. Don't give up!

subbing...really need a discount for early December

 

[mjnap]

Any news on general discounts? Hoping for Nov. 2011!!

 

[Tltorrez]

Last rumors were the first week of Sept -- which could conceivably be late this week or early next. If it's going to be this week, we should start hearing rumors of Overtime.

We shall see.

Been off the disboards for a couple of weeks (daughter got married out of state). I'm looking for discounts for May/June, 2012. What dates were rumored to be covered?

Fall 2011 -- only through the end of the year. We won't see 2012 room discounts until at least October.

We have not heard anything about May/June 2012 yet but Disney has released free dining dates into the end of March 2012. I am waiting with you!! Here is the link to the booking site.

Just checking in, pricing everything out for our dates (Nov 6th-12th). Would consider jumping from Value to Club Level at GF or Poly with RO discount. Been trying in earnest for a pin, but just looking fwd to our trip. CAN'T WAIT!!!!

 

[disneymagicgirl]

I've been out of town for a few days. Just checking to see if anything new was rumored. Doesn't appear so...

This was the information I received earlier today when I called in to make a change to our reservation. I talked with a great CM for quite a while. He was very friendly and quite helpful.

It seems that the resorts are getting pretty full. I asked about any potential room-only discounts coming out for the fall and he said that Disney was definitely scaling back discounts. He felt that with the level of occupancy currently booked and based on what he was hearing, he felt that what was out for the fall right now was probably about it. He did say that he could be way off base, but he wasn't anticipating any room-only discounts to hit the couple of dates that we needed.

Rats! I will keep my fingers crossed though.

Looks like a lot of dates are filling up. Those upgrade codes did a good job.
