After FOUR seperate calls to Disney Reservations trying to apply a discount code.
We are staying WL the alst week of January. I called mid-day on the day the codes came out and was disheartened to discover that it was not available for the dates/resort I wanted. Then someone posted on the discount thread that "Disney was having problems" so I hoped the problem included me and tried again. Nada! The next day -- a glutton for punishment -- I tried one last time. During that last call I was frustrated with the CM: they didn't speak English very well; they kept putting me on hold for long periods of time and sounded horribly confused about everything I asked. I considered switching resorts to get a code for about a nanosecond but abandonned that idea because I couldn't bear to deal with this particular CM any longer and in the end I really wanted WL.
So today I misread something on the January Code Watch thread and called to try to apply what I thought was a new code (in actual fact its just the Disney Visa code).
Two seconds into the call with a very friendly CM, I realized the mistake I had made and asked that he check for the Canadian code one last time for me. Ummm ya - the code is sold out for WL woods view but is available for WL - courtyard view. Do I mind upgrading if it means saving some money and getting some perks (like Waterparks) that I didn't orignally have. I told him I didn't care if it meant I was stuck looking at a brick wall. Seriously I don't. 
So I saved $163. Not a fortune but if I found it lying in the street would I leave it there? Of course not.
He also told me (in a read between the lines kind of way) to try back tomorrow because the general codes will be released then and while I might not get a better deal it wouldn't hurt to try (if I can find a deal on a Woods view I'll save even more).
I'm so pleased right now over my $163. I kid you not - just as happy as those who have saved thousands.

They are on top of things and will apply any codes that will work for your dates for you
