So, who will be up at midnight to see if a deal has come true on Disney's website?

[abirdd]

After chatting with mutiple CM's the last two weeks as we work on a GG... here is what I've been told.

2010 pricing is going up - there will be work on the back end systems this week (I believe they said Aug 1st is the release date for 2010). Fall deals will be announced shortly - expect annual pass holders, then Visa, then general public.

As to whether the deals will be anything great - hard to say. I've been told our Free Dining PIN for December will likely beat out the general offer. So, who knows what's coming... I'm guessing a room discount or something along those lines.

Subbing. We are booked for a Dec trip and I want a code!! I was really wanting FD, but a room Discount would be just as great. I will take whatever they want to give us!!!! Keep us posted pretty please!!

I think I'm going to try and see if this happens for a deal tonight.

I need to make a revision to an existing reservation if any good deal comes along; so, I have to call. At least I'll know to get up early.

I wasn't planning on staying up that late but now that you mention it, I think I will! Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us hoping for something good!

Does Disney's website update itself @ midnight?
Are these discounts going to include September, or just October, November & December?

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

Are you sure it's midnight? If so, that's only 11 for me!! I am sure I will be up now...even if I am in bed I will be there wide awake wondering what I am missing!!!! Gonna have to check. Are ya'll talking about the actual WDW website? Wanna make sure I am not missing anything!!!

 

[rileyroosmom]

What am I missing......I just checked and the website is up. There is a deal for $69/values for July/Aug/Sept certain nights......is that the deal everyone is waiting on?

 

[missnanse]

I'm dreaming and hoping and wishing and prayingI need some good news for our Christmas vacation.so fingers crossed and eyes wide open I will be waiting for 12AM to see if our Dreams come true

 

[keywestbride]

I'm sure I'll be up, although I'm not at all convinced it's going to happen. If it does, and I don't see it, I'll be kicking myself!

I checked mousesavers for lat years discounts and there was a package discount that hit in mid august and a room only in september. I don't know, mabye they will hit earlier this year???

Hello:

Disney used to have an 800 #, but it disappeared about 6 months ago. Is there a new one out there that someone could send me?

Thanks,

Deb.

The FD code for december is already out. I received it last friday. I am hoping for a room discount!

I'm anxiously awaiting this big deal that hopefully will come out tomorrow! I booked a room-only discount for September at Port Orleans Riverside, but if they came out with a big discount, I would consider upgrading to deluxe! Crossing my fingers for a Sept code!!!! Would a discount really reflect on disneyworld.com at midnight?

 

[captinhookedondisney]

That would be one more trip this year!

Wishing everyone good luck.. We are blessed with the military 40% room discount plus dining without ticket requirements so I am not expecting anything better

I think the "big discount" for Sept is free dining. I don't think anything else is going to be coming out for dates through Oct 3. I imagine most people at this point are waiting for something for check in after Oct 3, particularly for Nov and Dec.

I hate to keep sounding like a "nay-sayer", but I don't think there's going to be some huge deal that magically appears at midnight. We always seem to get some warning on here and/or mousesavers before codes are released. Maybe tomorrow will be when we hear about it, but that wouldn't explain the "approved OT".

Anyway, I really hope I'm wrong since we've been waiting for a Nov/Dec code for months.

Ah darn. Ok.... still hoping though! lol I just dont get how everyone thinks "free dining" is such a great deal..... Maybe if you are staying deluxe but for me, the room-only discount is such a better deal.... when I did the math, 6 nights at POR with the room-only 35% off discount was like $630..... and I then called Disney to see what the price difference would be for 6 nights with the "free" dining at POR.... they told me $1300!!!!! How is this free?!?!? Now I know you need a ticket and since we already have tickets, we were just pricing for a 1-day base ticket, and still, $1300..... thats like $700 worth of food?!? Nah, I'll just pay for my food and it still wouldn't come out to $700.... just my opinion but free dining was not worth it for us.....

That is a pin code only for use for those who are lucky enough to recieve one. We are hoping they will release a general public discount that anyone can use.

But add kids into the mix, and you probably could easily hit $700 in food. I think FD is a great deal for families, not so much for DINK's, like us.

I called AAA here and their Disney system was down and they couldn't do any booking for reservations. Anyway, their office thought it might be because of prices increases which is not good news. She thought it might be the release of 2010 pricing for the new year coming through soon. There were other posts/threads stating about park ticket prices going up in August; so, this may be the reason the Disney system was down for some time today, too. Or, it could be both situations---there may be a price increase, but there may also be a new deal, too.

Anyway, the AAA agent was hoping the free dining got extended for the rest of the year, too. She did not have any official word on it yet, but she said she would e-mail me if something came through.

Disney has, in fact, announced price increases to help offset sluggish business within the past few days. How this affects a possible free dining offer for mid october, I do not know.

I don't think though that you have anything to gain by staying up until midnight waiting to see if the boards change. The offer, should it come, will most definitely be there in the morning.

Get some rest and go at it refreshed.

Haven't read every post so I apologize if this is repeat info.

Touring Plans is tweeting that they think it's free dining for Disney visa holders Thursday and general public Sunday. Regular dining plan for mods and deluxe and CS for values. They don't say this is *for sure* what it is. They say it's the rumor.

We'll see!
