September 2012 code watch!

Well I myself am hating the wait for FD discount ...lol so I am going to bit the bullet and book with AAA. It saves us about $240 off the package, not great but better than nothing right now

Our plans keep changing so much, I'm kind of glad that so far we haven't had to worry about booking yet.

We were planning land & sea with a Disney cruise but as it turns out, 13 months before a Disney cruise is too late to get a good price (I had no idea!!!) so we are bumping the DCL cruise to 2013 and doing Carnival instead. The good news is that we are doing 5 days/4 nights BEFORE the cruise at Pop and hoping for free dining. Post-cruise we don't want to try to drive straight home (land sickness is a major concern for me due to past issues), so we are going back to WDW for 2 laid back days just enjoying the resort/surroundings. So for THAT part of the trip I'm sorta hoping for a 40% off deal so we can upgrade. Aaah!

We booked at Land/Sea in October of 2008 and got a great price only 8 months in advance. Maybe you are too early

 

[TandLMommy28]

Perhaps. I'm keeping my eye on it. So far, the price has already jumped $400 in the past 6 weeks. I've heard that Carnival tends to get lower as it gets closer so it's not hurting anything to hold out on booking for awhile. As it stands now, we can do 4 nights at Pop, a 4 night Carnival cruise, 2 more nights at Disney (probably a POR Princess room) for just about $200 more than JUST a 3 night Disney cruise. Much, much, much more bang for our buck.

At least I don't feel like a total nut now. I am keeping my fingers crossed for FD for Sept of next year. But a good discount would be good too. We want to stay at WL. This will be our first onsite trip and I have been saving since we came home from our last trip (last year). FD would be some really cool icing on our cake. But I think the wait is going to kill me

 

[Mexacajun]

After some consideration, we have decided on a trip sept 22- oct 1. Will be on the lookout for a code for FD. Happy watching. Our family made our first trip this summer at the contemporary and I can't stop thinking of it. Planning is underway and we are excited. This will def become an annual ritual. How do you add the taglines at the bottom of posts??

Heavens no!!! Don't feel like a total nut... although, my friends and DS16 DO think I'm nuts for planning this far out. I tell them it gives me something to be excited for all year long. DS16 won't be saying that when it's time to leave though right?

How fun Mexacajun!! Sounds like a great time of year to visit. Who all will be going? The CR eh? Sounds heavenly! As far as the taglines at the bottom... see at the top left where it says UserCP. That's the control panel where you can see your profile, edit your profile and most importantly, edit your siggie! It tells you how to do it. Now, go make yourself a signature and ticker stat!!

going sept 9 - sept 15, 2012 for my birthday, staying at YC. First time in Sept. really worried about heat, rain and now love bugs. Usually go in Dec. for the holidays. FD or 40% off would be good, got a great deal a few years ago 'buy 4 nights, get 3 free' I think that was it. Good luck to us all.

 

[TandLMommy28]

Love bugs are far less annoying than mosquitoes, it's not so bad.
Yes, it rains basically every day in September, but not all day long. Most of the time, it's a quick rain and it's over.
The heat can be rough but it's an even trade off for not having any crowds. The way I see it, you don't have to be in as much of a rush because the lines are short. So you don't feel the heat as much, if that makes sense? Because you get to take your time.

I'm a huge September fan. Not that I have anything to compare it to, it's the only time I've been!!!

Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement, I have always wanted to go to WDW for my B-Day.

Hello!! I wanted to jump in and join all of you waiting for a great discount offer! Originally I had planned to take my next trip in Jan/Feb 2013 to beat the horrid winter blues of Edmonton, Canada!! brrr, it's cold and dreary here in the winter, and my 43 birthday would be coming up Jan 29th...so that was a good excuse for a trip then, as well, my BF had never been and finally decided to join me, so another wonderful excuse to plan a trip back,

Well, imagine my surprise when I looked at the WDW website and saw they had some FD dates for Sept 2012!! I priced using psuedo dates for January (albeit this yr) AND FD discount dates....well, it was a no-brainer, Sept Free Dining saved us at least $2,000.00, and if I booked END Sept (the 29th), I could get Free Dining for our whole trip.....until October 4th checkout (where we would move over to Universal/WWoHP for a couple days!!).....so, with me having an ulcer waiting on a discount......annnny discount.....I decided to just change my dates ahead 4 months and book Sept/Oct 2012 with the FD offer.

I booked the POLY Club Level Garden View, Free dining Sept 29 - Oct 04, 2012 for 2 adults (me and my bestie!) and 2 teen boys (my son and his bestie....) I am planning on paying for most of my son's friend as he will likely not be able to afford such a trip on his own....he is from a single parent family, and if they can help with just his airfare, I would love to bring him along for company for my DS... We shall see how that pans out, but right now he is on the reservation.....

My pluses for changing my booking......
I now have a guaranteed discounted package booked!!! A +
I booked POLY Club Level....my first time at this resort A++
Sept/Oct should definitely be warmer than Jan/Feb...more swimming in that beautiful volcano pool A +++
I can see Mickey's Halloween Party, AND Food and wine???? (I believe it runs during my dates??) A ++++
So.....as much as I would love to escape dreary Alberta Winter, I think Sept / October 2012 looks like pretty good dates right about now!

Thanks for sharing my excitement Y'all! I think nothing is more satisfying and wonderfully exciting than having a booked trip in the works (even if it is just a deposited package deal, )
I look forward to planning with you all!!! and sharing happy moments when your discounts come through!!!

Fantastic!! Now I just wish they would release FD in the United States so the rest of us can share in your joy!

Hi Crazy for Disney I wasn't aware....was it an only-Canadian offer??? I guess I am very lucky I booked it then! Fingers crossed it gets offered for you as well!!!

 

[chellewashere]

I would love love love a free dining discount and a room discount...I know wishing for alot but hey a girl can dream.
We will be going for 2 weeks at the end of Sept so any discount we can get will make it sooo much nicer.
At least we are all in this together!!

Well I myself am hating the wait for FD discount ...lol so I am going to bit the bullet and book with AAA. It saves us about $240 off the package, not great but better than nothing right now

I did the same thing today - booked Sept 8-16 through AAA since it saved a little off of the price. Praying for FD! With my family of 6 - I almost need it in order to book a Disney trip.

 

[TandLMommy28]

Yea! It's September! That means we are officially at the one year mark for our month! Woohoo! I've never planned a Disney trip this far out before. My first trip was a surprise. My second trip I knew about for around 8 months, and my last trip I only booked about 3 months out. This is a whole new experience!

And I'll hopefully be staying at TWO resorts I've never stayed at before. Pop and Wilderness Lodge. SO EXCITED to try them both, for completely different reasons.

Still reall hoping for SOMETHING soon. I just want to book SOMETHING!

 

[Mexacajun]

Just Booked for Sept 2012!!!! WooHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WE are super excited for our return trip to the World!!!!!!

 

[Pixiedust34]

I keep reading how low the crowds are right now at WDW, and I'm hoping that low Sept. crowds this year will entice Disney to offer free dining for next September.

 

[Sunday]

I just booked our trip to POR on September 16th-26th...our longest stay ever! And....FREE DINING!

But I'm really confused...are Americans still not able to get the free dining offer? I'm not on a Canadian site (I booked on the Disney.com site) and the offer was there...
