September 2014 Discount Watch!

[KNovacovschi]

Yep, we got the same mailer... I immediately went to the Disney planning/resrvation web site and the "non discounted" prices there were better than those in the mailer... really disappointed! The Memory Maker looks pretty good, but we want to stay longer than the 2 or 3 days of the MM 'deal.'

The MM deal is for the whole stay. We check in Sept 27 & out Oct 4th and get the MM for the entire trip. Unless you are referring to the room discount, if that's the case then is that the reason we only save $51. Oh well we got MM for free.

Flights booked for sept 23-30. What's everyone's thoughts on free dining? We need to have something to discuss while we impatiently wait.
Let's take a poll. I vote yes Disney will have free dining for Aug and Sept

At this point, I only look for it in September. The more people that book early, the fewer days it will happen, and the more resorts will be excluded.

Hoping also for free dining this September. There is 11 of us, 3 adults and 9 grandchildren. Free dining saves us a lot! Hoping for a PIN but haven't heard of any out yet.

I'm looking at CBR for our stay. It is usually included in FD, correct?

Yes

Looks like Disney is fishing to see if there are some smaller promo/PIN that will fill up the rooms during that time frame. I also got a PIN via email on Tuesday for those exact same dates but it looks like it is a room discount.

"Start planning your Disney vacation today with this special offer"
"Stay in the middle of the magic in September
at select Disney Resort hotels.
For example, stay at Disney Value Resorts $ 98 * per night plus tax
in a standard room. For stays most Sunday–Thursday nights 9/13/14 - 9/30/14.
Disney Moderate Resorts $ 151 * per night plus tax in a standard room. For stays most Sunday–Thursday nights 9/13/14-9/30/14.
Disney Deluxe Resorts $ 281 * per night plus tax in a standard room at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge or Disney's Wilderness Lodge. For stays most Sunday–Thursday nights 9/2/14-9/25/14.

*Minimum length-of-stay requirements may apply. Additional per-adult charges apply if more than two adults per room.

Notice the dates on the Deluxe resorts are different.
This appears to be an indicator that shows what is filling up now and what is not during different time frames in September. I think Disney will send out several of these to see if they can snag some of us to book before they offer bigger promo's (hopefully FD) in September. They are fishing with smaller promo's to see if they can get rooms booked then they can exclude some dates & resorts. I think Disney will send out several of these to see

MommyApo, you got this via snail mail or email?
Did it mention anything about dining? Just wondering if it looked like a play, stay and dine or just a stay and play PIN.

I got it snail mail, it just said you could add dinning. I don't see much of a discount at all from this, but might be just me.

I received the same flyer in my snail mail this week, but i do not think it is a "PIN". Mine said to mention a three character code when you book. These typically are not "PIN"s just ads. I was hopeful until I did the math found that the current Memory Maker package is cheaper.

Maybe next time.

Lol, really, I thought those were PINS, I am dumb-dumb

Really getting excited now that it is April, hoping this is our GOOD NEWS month for FD annoucment I am still hoping for FD, but for our 10 night trip the memory maker package scores us a free memory maker plus $400 off our package. So not too bad, just no TS everyday like if FD. Would have to cut a few TS. So here's to all of us waiting...impatiently

 

[sconnell]

Ok, I'm getting so anxious. Can't stand this waiting. Can't get any work done.

I wish they'd post the calendar.

 

[Misjanuary1]

Agreed 100%! I am anxious too!!! This planner is certainly crossing fingers for FD for my dates!!!

 

[galaxygirl76]

We're changing our original plans of waiting until our daughter's fifth birthday to visit wdw to visiting this September instead because the Memory maker deal just seems too good to pass up. It will be a shorter trip than the one for her golden birthday in '16 but we figure we get our feet wet and know what to expect for the big trip

 

[MommyApo]

I hope they release a discount soon, I know April just started, but I am so impatient and the not knowing is driving me nuts!

You and me both (and thousands of others). Its making me crazy not knowing. If FD is not in our dates or not announced at all, its OK, but its the not knowing......

Yes! At this point I just want to know!

I feel like I'll be able to relax when I know for sure the discount we get/don't get and what hotel we'll be at (gave the travel agent a few options).

Pst...I just posted in my thread. No firm dates yet but free dining looks to be a go. Things should mirror last year and may even include the last couple days of August.

Stay tuned.

I'm hoping that my dates will be included and it will be a better deal than what I currently have.
