Sept/Oct Code watch

[Beana9802]

I am glad you mentioned that you can't get dining with S/D. I was looking into some time at the end of August, using the teacher discount right before the school year started, and wanted to add dining. I was trying to figure out how to get that staying at S/D.

Thanks!

Are there separate "codes" for AAA??? We just booked POR in Oct. with a AAA discounted rate. I thought the only requirement for that was having a AAA membership.

I'm hoping like heck they release October codes. We did the free DP last October, but have heard from many others on here that after that ended there were no codes offered for that time of year...BUMMER. I'm sure we'll go ahead and end up booking a pkg, but having a code sure would be nice!

I have already booked a AAA package. If a code comes out to upgrade tickets etc. anyone know if I can still upgrade even if I booked already. My payment is due by the beginning of Aug. would all the changes have to be made before then.
Thanks....not wanting to hijack this thread just need some clarification.

Hi there,

Does anyone remember when the Spet/Oct codes were relased last year? I am thinking that it won't be until June before any of us here anything about it.

But my hears are wide open for anything.

i think i was confused on my last post, I was maening to say i want a code to comeout or AP special code, so I can make them, if not I have to make a AAA reservation!

last years' AP rates through 10/4 came out 6/1/05.....and then Fl rates for 10/5-12/25 came out 8/25....

I am looking for late October rates so probably around August!

Im subscribing! Would love a great deal this fall. I think the free dining deal came out last year in late May. We took advantage and it was great! Let's keep wishing...looking for lots of pixie dust!!!

Just for fun, posting what 2005 AP rates were...

WDW Annual Passholders can get special discounted rates at select Walt Disney World resorts for check-ins 8/28/05-10/4/05. The code gives you a flat discount off the rack rates: $18 off Value resorts, $45 off Moderate resorts and $70 off Deluxe and Home-Away-From-Home resorts. Some sample rates:

* Value Resorts (All Stars and Pop Century) - $59 standard
* Moderate Resorts - $89 standard, $104 preferred view/King
* Animal Kingdom Lodge - $129 standard, $210 savannah view
* Boardwalk/Beach Club/Yacht Club - $224 standard
* Polynesian - $234 garden view

We're hoping for similar or better rates for this year.

Don't AP's cost almost twice as much as MYW tickets these days.

3 prem myw tix = $847 (2 adults)
3 PAP = $1600?

Seems like you would have to make (2) 7 days visits just to break even on the tickets. Where are the savings anymore? I used to do the AP thing, but not anymore.

Enlighten me.

Can one use AP to make a WDW package reservation that includes the dining plan?

Since non-AP holders must pay rack rate AND order park passes to get the DP, but if you use AAA you can get a discount on the room but not passes, I'm wondering how it works with an AP.

We want the DP, Magical Express, and to stay on-premise.

Thanks for any help/advice.

Why not just buy ONE AP and 2 regular MYW? The AP discount is good for up to 6 people for meals, etc. and you only need 1 AP to get room discounts, right?

hoping to be there 10/11- 10/17. Crossing my fingers for some kind of code.

 

[gydell]

Got the AAA rate but would be happy if a better discount comes out!

After crunching the numbers, there doesn't seem to be much savings. In fact AAA and MYW is cheaper at the values and mods. You can save on the deluxes depending on the AP discount, though.

Well, I just renewed my AP and my dd's AP. (Not premium) A 10-day with hopper and no expiration was actually a little more than the AP renewal rate. So, I figure that IF I get a discount on our room in October, it was well worth it. Even if I don't get a room discount, still was a little less. So for me, it was cheaper to renew than to buy the MYW regardless, and a room discount would be even better!

For all of you Oct regulars. How are the pool temps in Oct? And the water parks. If I am there Oct 12-23 will I be able to enjoy them?

We are planning Oct. as well.
