Rumor: More discounts on the way??

[bookwormde]

As long as we are wishing I wish that the buy the current promotion was a buy 4 get 3 free where the 3 (at equal or lesser value) could be used as desired within a 14 day window instead of having to have 1 contiguous reservation in the same set of names.

That would take care of my last planning detail I have.

I would love to see a promo that includes free dining if you took advantage of the 4/3 offer!! I know it's a fat chance, but a girl has to dream!!

Another code! This is not helping my addiction at all. I really am trying to swing a solo trip in Feb or March.

You mean a 2nd trip w/in 14 days of departure from the first one? Not many people could squeeze that in...even us fanatics!

 

[bookwormde]

No, so I could split it around by weekday DVC reservation or use the 3 coincident with the 4 to invite family and friends.

I am hoping for free dining. I don't seem them offering 20% or more off rooms to the general public..... That would be just like slashing prices instead of offering a special promotion.

 

[maxiesmom]

Great idea, I love your way of thinking! Now, just let it run into October.......

No, it needs to run thru November!

We are tossing around the idea of staying off-site to save money (there are some great deals to be had!), but I would much rather stay on-site. So I'm hoping they offer at least some room only rates that friendly to my budget.

I just hope Disney includes July/early August in their deals this year.

 

[OhMari]

Do you happen to have the dates for the last quarter of 2009 for the BB? I only have the dates thru September. TIA

Sorry, I just happened to look at this post.
These only go up to 8/23-10/3/09 with all those other weeks.



40% off a select Disney Deluxe Villa Resort
30% off a select Disney Deluxe Resort
30% off Disney Moderate
30% of Wilderness Cabins this one does not have January or Feb. dates
20% off Disney Value


But I think you need to have been there and had to pay for one nights room plus tax before you checked out

At what point do you think I should give up on a GP discount starting Jan 4th? Right now I've got a AAA rate on 2 rooms at Sports, but if I switched to the 4/3 deal (can only use 5 nights, not 7), the price is an exact wash when I include the 2x$200 gift cards EXCEPT I would walk away with 5 1 day base tickets, which is worth $400 to me down the road.

But, I don't want to lock in to the "package" only to find out 2 days later a GP 40% code came out, which works out as a better deal for me.

I was kind of hoping that shortly after your Thanksgiving they'd announce something...I would think that they might get an influx of bookings as families talk (or fight!) over the holiday, but then that drops off & they see how many rooms are left & announce SOMETHING!!

 

[jjohnson]

I would go with the 7/4 deal. Even if a GP discount comes out, isn't it usually around $20 per night? I think your better off with the tickets.

I think there might be something to this rumor. Jim Hill (take it with a grain of salt) seems to also mention things going on at the Resorts starting in January:

"Getting back to Walt Disney World ... There are some very scary rumors currently making the rounds about how far down advance reservations for the Resort are for the month of January. According to one Disney insider that I spoke with late late week, to date only 35% of the resort's available room nights have been booked for the coming month.

Should this rumor prove to be true ... Well, you can expect the Mouse to roll out some pretty spectacular packages as we get closer & closer to January. With Disney doing whatever it can to put some heads in beds in those 32,000 hotel rooms that it now owns & operates on property."

I have trouble believing that only 35% of the rooms are booked for the month of January. If that were true, there would have been better availability for these most recent discounts. So, I don't think that number is right. However, if it is right, well, then I agree with the original rumor and the statement that Jim Hill makes about more deals on the way.

I would be surprised if they waited until Christmas to announce though.

Subscribing....I am going in Feb and would love to go again!

 

[jillhou]

We are toying with going. Were not really even thinking about it, but got excited over the 4/3 deal. But we couldn't get the Poly concierge for that time, so it kinda burst our bubble.....

Just kinda playing it by ear. If a deal is good enough - we will probably book a MArch trip.

 

[FLmomof2]

Free dining would be great but we are going in June, so not sure if they will have anymore deals that extend that far!

 

[Applemomma]

For those of us that have to plan our trips months and months in advance, in order to save for it, the only real deal that is worth us looking at is something like the 4/3 offer but it would have to extend into Dec 2009. With funds being low and having to only plan one trip at a time Disney has to really think farther ahead then this spring to get my head in one of their beds!

 

[akayek31]

I hope it is free dining to go with the 4/3 package. It would cost me who is a single mother of 2 over $800 to get the dining plan and i am not sure i can afford that even working two jobs.

I know I'm a new comer on these boards... but wanted to share...

A few weeks back I was talking to my coworker's partner (ex-cm) and we got to talking about disney vacations. Still being in the know... he commented on this email he had recieved in regards to bookings still be drastically low and disney deciding/discussing offering free dinning in addition to the 7 for 4 deal already released.

I took it was a grain of salt like all things...

Talking to a good friend tonight... he mentioned a call he recieved from a disney cm who's husband now works closely with disney's reservation system. Apparently a 7 for 4 disney package with free dinning for length of stay is now in the reservation system awaiting release later in December.

With the current package ending on 12/20... I'd definately expect to see it christmas week...
