Rumor: More discounts on the way??

[DizMom11]

I was not able to book it online, but I did get a qutoe for this deal from Small World. The dining is better then the deluxe plan as all Signature rest.,room service and V&A is included and uses just one credit each time. With room service gratuity is included also!

I just noticed that Disney has extended the 7 for the price 4 deal. You can now book until January 20th instead of the December 20th date. I really am hoping that Disney's extension doesn't have anything to do with the rumors of more discounts to come. Originally Disney had the booking date to stop on December 20th.

Where did you see that the booking date had been extended? I just checked Disney and I didn't see it. My daughter has to be at a Beta convention and that would help me very much if I could wait until after Christmas to book this.

 

[LindaOwl1]

The other day it WAS until January - now it's back to 12/20!!

 

[gizmom29]

I saw it too! The booking date was changed to I believe January 24 and I checked again as well today & it is back to "book by December 20". Weird!

 

[djm99]

Now, I know I'm not crazy, silly maybe, but not crazy. I know I saw a January date. That's the reason why I posted. Disney is really something. I just read on another thread that they were trying to book those fall deals that are suppose to expire on the 13th, but Disney said it expired on the 7th.

Nope you're not crazy. I saw it too.

I dont get it ...why do you say that? and in bold?

I'm afraid I have to disagree - we were initally booked with AAA rate at YC WV for 5 nights - when the 4/3 deal came out, it still saved us $50 plus the gift card -then we added 2 nights afterwards for nothing.

Assume you only had enough vacation time to stay 5 days. Any of the other discounts offered during slow travel times would have been a better deal. Free dining---40-45% code.

My point was directed to the posters (and internet sites) that describe this as the best deal Disney ever offered.

My guess is that the poster means that deals will keep appearing as they monitor the amount of current reservations. If a lot of people cancel out at the 45 day mark (which is now, or soon, for a lot of the sale dates),
they offer more sales. Which may be what we are seeing with the room only rate.

They ARE allowing the sale for 5 nights, but anything less wouldn't qualify.

That's exactly what I meant. Given the economy I think a number of people will wind up cancelling when the final payment is due.

I'm really hoping they come out with something for our 4 night stay the last week of April.

While I do agree that this deal may not be the BEST Disney has ever offered - It comes close. Look at it like this. The 40% off code is a 'luck' code. If you are lucky to get the email or this code attached to your name - your lucky realllllly lucky. I got it once from a poster who posted the code on a thread. Within a few minute the Mods removed the code. Again luck. I've NEVER been offered a code via email or snail mail. Those FREE dining deals are during value season - a season that many families DON'T travel. The 7 for 4 deal is for the first 6 months of the year (excluding holidays) - and it includes the whole MONTH of March. During March is Spring break for schools that don't follow Easter as the Spring Break time. That's Many public schools in the USA. AND they are giving out $200 gift cards + allowing people to prepay $400 for a $500 gift card. Come on - these are great deals. No need to "find" a code, forge one (by repeatedly calling a willing CM to give you a code), no stress in your face codes. You can't beat that.

And.... I think more - even better deals will come. For example - my Spring Break is still available (March 15th week). It's December - EVERY YEAR our SENIOR Class goes to Disney. WE usually have everything locked in by the end of September. By December our week has been BOOK SOLID (for 5 years straight) with NO changes allowed (adding rooms) by mid-November. It's almost mid-December and there are SEVERAL rooms available. It's unbelievable.

Where do you obtain a $500 GC for $400? I haven't seen this offer and how can I get some?

This was a pin code offer. That one is luck. I read it on the disboards. I did get this email but I'm not going until summer, so I'm waiting.

OK I have to pay tomorrow- ICK- I was really hoping for a deal. Oh well

 

[Guzzi]

I read on one of the threads here, (I cant find it know), that after 911 with tourism down disney had discounts similiar to the 4/3 deal that extended into the summer months.

1. dose anyone know where that thread is or if disney did in fact offer discounts into the summer of 02? and if so what
were the deals that were offered

2. Is anyone else praying that their jobs stay secure and tourism
continues to suffer so that the deals are extended into the
summer?

Merry Christmass everyone on the boards

 

[ADisneyQueen]

There was a deal in fall 2003 buy 4 nights get 3 free and included tickets. I do not remember this being in the summer. There were room only deals after 9/11.

 

[lisaanddenny]

if tourism suffers, jobs are not secure, what a horrible wish.............I would hope for tourism to prosper and pay a little more for a trip to Disney.............

 

[Sandisw]

Yes, in the summer of both 2001 and 2002, Disney offered the 4/3 deal in the summer. I went both times in July. Matter of fact, for the summer of 2002, we were also give $200.00 in Disney Dollars when we checked in. It was great. I am hoping that they offer something for this upcoming summer as well. I am scheduled to go in August so hope at least the free dining will be back.

I guess you are right about tourism and jobs, I live in Syracuse NY, we dont have tourism, no local jobs tied to it, didnt mean to be insensitive, how about I wish disney's numbers are down, they lay no one off and the discounts continue

 

[DisneyMom5]

In October of '03 they offered "Kids stay and play free" for winter '04.
There was also a $100 in Disney dollars with that if you booked with a Disney Visa. Not quite as good a deal, but it saved us a little bit.

Best deal for us has consistently been free dining, and if they include a room discount, that would be even better. But that is dependent on our family size (9) and length of stay (a week or more).

I live just north of Syracuse, and I work in Syracuse! Luckily I'm a nurse so I'll always have a job somewhere. Times like these definitely make me happy I chose the field that I did!
