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

Can someone post the code? I am buying APs when in about 10 days, but I need to book our Dec. trip.

 

[sjms71]

I'm an AP too and booked something already for Nov/Dec with no discount. I'm a little confused is ther an official AP rate out for this time or no? TIA

Still hoping for free dining to be announced soon for December

 

[CoachBagFanatic]

So I have a question which may be a silly one but here goes. How does the AP work when you want to purchase a package/tickets/meal plan? TIA

FWIW, I just booked a package with a room and dining discount for $600 more than the room only for 2 adults/2 kids for 9 days.

she said Friday for Visa holders and Monday for the GP

why wouldn't they wait till Monday the FD you have to book by on Sunday?

So the discount available to Visa holders friday is just hotel discount? Would you still be able to get the free dining? My dates are Nov 30 thru Dec 5th.

Well, I was really really praying for a discount today since we cancelled our Sept/Oct trip yesterday. Oh well, the wait continues.

I just called yesterday too and cancelled/changed our trip for those dates! I rebooked for 12/6-12/12. CM I spoke with told me, "Weeellll, if a discount does come out you can always call back and we will refund the difference." This was in response to having to cancel during free dining...so my fingers are crossed that there will be a FD deal again!

I personally think that FD brings up merchandise sales...when a package is a set price, it allows spending money to flow a little more freely. If that is the case, it is great marketing strategy because people HAVE to eat, but they do not have to buy merchandise/souvee's. Especially now with most watching every penny.

Rip, can you give us details of your package? I thought the discount was on the room only.

 

[dizneydiva2005]

oh my word, my head is spinning- so from what I gathered here is wait until Monday for GP discount and it's looking like it may be free dining?? I'm going to die over the weekend waiting!! And come Monday morning- the phone lines are going to crash!

Does anyone know if the AP discount is on Club level rooms too?

 

[Tam1067]

I just got a package with dining at the passholder rate. It comes to about $700 less than the same items (room plus DDP) without the discount. This is for 4 nights at the Grand Floridian, Dec. 19-23. I do not yet have my AP in hand because I'm going to get it when I'm there in about 10 days. She told me it was a "Passholder Package" because I had the DDP.

I dunno if it's "free", because the room discount is less than the room only passholder rate. We're there from 11/26 through 12/5. From what she said (and of course she said that officially she knows nothing, but she's glad I'm booking today rather than Monday - limited # of rooms and all). Basically, it seems to me like what they did last year for Visa holders during this time - a room discount coupled with "free" dining.

The one downside was that I had to switch from POFQ to Coronado.

 

[HLAuburn]

So does anyone know what the passholder code is? And do you actually have to give them a annual pass # or anything or just have it at check in?

Thanks!

When I called, that's what I was expecting. Now, I called the passholder line because earlier I had called the regular line and she didn't even have the room discount code in her system. The lady first asked me why I wasn't taking advantage of their dinning offer with a room discount as well. Basically, I was checking in POFQ on 11/26 and staying through 12/5. My room only was 1311.00. With whatever she did - and it was a package - my total came to 1941.00. Same "level" of room, but added dining for 2 adults and 2 kids for the 9-day stay.

Last year I booked a room at POFQ before getting (or ordering) my AP. My initial plan was to pick up my AP during that trip, but then took a spur of the moment trip and got it earlier.

Here's what I learned though...you can book an AP rate (over the phone only) without currently having an AP. You must be able to produce an AP sometime during your stay (preferably at check-in.)

NM.. it came down.

When I called I was offered the DDP but we do not like the DDP so we did a room only.

I got a pin for FD for our dates, but did not want it.
