So now with gas prices gone crazy and Jan being value...

[Camping Griswalds]

What are the chances of special offers...ie free dining or extra nights etc?? Just wanted to see if all of us January hopefuls had any ideas or thoughts

 

[Tjaleks]

I am hoping the same thing for December. (wish...wish...wish...wish...wish)

I'm hoping, but losing that hope quickly! I finally booked airfare for our Jan 12-17 trip, but haven't booked a room yet. Still keeping my fingers crossed that a code or offer might come out. But, I've been researching and am on the verge of booking a room without a discount! I really had hoped that since it was value season free dining might come back, but alas....nothing!

Where, oh where are you Disney codes and offers?!!!

When do the January discounts usually come out? I hadn't expected them to be out yet....am I wrong?

For the AP/BRP rates, they are already out. If you are hoping for a call in AP rate, I wouldn't hold my breath. FL resident rates are only out until 12/25. I am not sure about AAA rates...

I have a AAA rate of 140.50 including tax at POP for 2 rooms for 10 nights end of Jan/beginning of Feb. I think rack rates are 77or 87 plus tax, so we were pleased. I think its around 10-20% savings depending on what room (mod, value,deluz) and what time of year you use them. I only booked a room only deal because to do a package deal, you must go through AAA themselves. At least that is my understanding as of this moment.

$140.5o comes to about $62 per night per room. It is already $59 for BRP, I doubt that they will drop it to the $49 from last year. Only way for the $49 is if they are not getting the ressies they thought they would. And.... if they do that, they may have to refund everyone that has booked at the $59 the difference, and I highly doubt they will do that. Stick with your AAA unless you want to go with the BRP using an AP.
