Rumor: More discounts on the way??

[duketennisgal]

I would be really surprised if it included January - thrilled, of course, but very surprised. Based on the timing of the expected announcement date and the fact that packages were already due to be paid in full for January...

Maybe this is for the April - June folks who didn't get the gift card.

That's my hope, I've already booked my trip for May!

i know, we did this last yr, we went for 6 nights dec. 14-20 and then turned around and 2 weeks later went jan. 1-7!!! we are fanatics but that was even too much for us. not to mention out of the 6 trips we took in 2007, the Jan. was the highest crowd!!! now, for 2009 our trips are like 3 and 4 months apart!!!

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...

So here's a question.....We already booked the 4/7 deal for March 6-13...Assuming that our dates are covered under this, would we be able to call and switch over to the one with free dining?

TIA

OH I hope so! This would be so great, and maybe take away some of the guilty feelings I have traveling in hard times!

If they just add free dining to an already booked trip, I'd gladly pay the change fee if within the 45 day window.

Man oh man.

If there is Free dining added to the promo I'll definitely book for June!!

 

[JoanneNC]

of course - they could do a complete 4/3 deal
Buy 4 nights - get 3 free
Buy 4 days tickets - get 3 free
Buy 4 days of dining - get 3 free

That would still be really appealing

That would still be alright with us!

Does anyone know what the change fee amount is??
I am sure it is still soooo worth it, but just wondering.

This is an interesting thread. We booked 05/04-05/14 with the 4/3 deal and free dining would be sweet. I will be keeping an eye on this.

touring plans website is reporting a possible room only discount to be released tomorrow for stays january through april 4.

 

[kristinanderic]

I'd like to know what happens...I have a trip booked for feb.

 

[I Believe n Fairies]

We are dying to go back. We were there in Sept 06 and loved it. I priced out a Sept 09 stay and it would be GREAT if a sweet code came out for then. For us, the 4-3 was not too great. Nice, but something that we could walk away from. I want to see a code that will MAKE me call and book.

It stinks that the economy is in the pits, but if it helps me get to WDW sooner, then I'm all for it. (kidding...kind of )

Ok, the day 4/3 came out I couldn't get through so I booked online.

If the free dining along with 4/3 comes out, would i be able to call to change?

So 4/3 saved us around $1300 at the Poly and free dining would save another $1189

 

[jillhou]

If I am not mistaken, the purpose of these codes and incentives is to get people who are NOT already booked to book a vacation!

If bookings are way down for January - I can see adding more incentives to get more people to come.

They really don't have a reason to try to get people already coming to spend less!

We were not planning on a vacation to Disney anytime soon, but if the right deal came along we might decide to go. My kids have started enjoying going to other places although they still love Disney! So it will be interesting to see what they can do to entice me and others like me!

Yep, you can switch over if your resort/dates are available. otherwise you'll have to alter your plans.

Sorry I don't know more guys... if I had any idea on dates or "what ifs" I'd definately share... just only getting bits and pieces as I go along. Still waiting on a text back in regards to the dates of the promotion if he was told any.

I had thought the 7 for 4 deal applied for dinning as well. . Was I wrong about that? It would make sense thinking back as the package we priced out did seem a little on the high side if that wasn't the case

My gut feeling is what another poster had mentioned... since Jan - Mar recieved a $200... perhaps this addition of free dinning is a last ditch effort to boost occupency for April - June.

Although wasn't there a free dinning package offered this winter with little notice in regards to dates? Was that an exclusive Disney Visa Card holder package? If so could this be the case too?

It's a waiting game now

Did anyone try the banner that's popping up at the top of the site? It was offering $61 per person at a value hotel including park Tickets. And most importantly the dates were from Aug 3 through the end of the year. So they are starting to offer stuff for the end of the year.

I am hoping for a mid-August discount, so your post is encouraging to me!

Does that mean you know something LOL I think this would be great...even if example it's same as the hotel and tickets buy 4 get 3...
