Something's coming................

So for $5 less I got water parks included. Not bad. Thanks for the heads up!!!!

Glad that worked for you--you actually saved a couple of bucks and get to hit a water park. . .

 

[Marie17]

Wait, here's a thought... If we went for the 3 night minimum, bought 10 day non-expiring myw tickets, would that make them park-hoppers with the water parks and more option?

I would imagine so.

You can always add the non-expiration option once you get there. I don't see any advantage (personally) to pay up-front for this cost. Now if Disney had a discount to do it in advance I would but it cost the exact same thing if you pay for it prior to going to Disney or when you arrive.

Glad I did not stay up and I feel sorry for the poor lady who slept with her laptop last night.

It is better than nothing but it is really nothing for me as we have AP's and do not do water parks anyway.

Give me a good room only rate and I will be a happy camper. I am not giving up hope.

Slightly Goofy

Ditto. It's nice to know that WDW is at least putting out eary sales. I am hopeing for a great AP discount

No changes for me. Oh well. With our AA rate on the Poly room we're saving more than getting free hoppers (we don't go to the water parks).

Hey! We will be at the Poly together! We have AAA rate for Garden view booked for April 20 - 28

We aren't going to go for 16 days at one time. At least not for several years. lol. We tend to go for just a few days at a time and not necessarly in the same 1 year time. A 10 day non-expiring ticket with water parks & more gives us 16 days of playtime at a rate that is cheaper than buying the tickets in smaller amounts at the time we use them. Does this make sense?

 

[disneymotherof3]

if you book with AAA, how do you pay? Do you have to pay in full or can you do payments?

 

[Tink Wanna Be]

Yes, it does work for mods! I just booked 8 nights at POFQ with dining and the park ticket upgrades. So excited!

 

[amy2girls]

You can do payments through AAA, I usually pay $200 at a time until its payed off.

I'd like to know the answer to that too.

Garden View here as well. Hoping for nice weather, reasonable crowds and good health. Did you make any room requests?

I understand that - what I was saying though - it usually costs approximately 150 extra to add the non-expiring option to a ticket. It is not discounted in any way shape or form if it is done in advance when you purchase your package. So to me - why pay for something that far in advance when you don't get any sort of discount. Keep the money for a little while and pay it at guest services upon arrival to convert your tickets from expiring to non-expiring.

I think you can purchase the whole 10 day option with just a minimum of 3 days and get all the extra upgrades. I made a ressie for just 4 nights but purchased the 7 day option for the upgrades. I'll get the non-expiring option upon arrival and then on our next trip just increase the days to 10.

Yes. I requested Tokelau, 3rd flr, quiet pool side, near the beach end. I know its a LOT of requests but I will be happy with just Tokelau 3rd flr Did you make any requests?

I dont know if it's new and not sure it applies but I saw something recently about not being able to upgrade partially used tickets after 14 days of the first use even if you have non expiration. Just thought I'd pass it on so that you can check it out so if it does apply you dont get there on the next trip to get told you can't add days.

Well someone said they thought you got a bit of a room discount with this new code, but apparently you don't. I just called to pay on my Sept 29th-Oct 7th trip (Bounce Back free dining ). I used the phone option of 'upgrading your reservation'. Anyway after I paid on it, I asked him about the new ZEY code, room discounts, and if an AP code was coming out. For the AP code he laughed and said 'not yet, maybe soon'. He then said he would see what he could do and put me on hold for awhile. When he came back he said there was no way he could finagle a discount on the room. If he tried booking using just a one day MYW ticket the price was still $72.51 higher than a room only deal "at the moment". I went ahead and booked room only and am hoping for a AP discount. He did make an interesting comment that "when the AP discounts come out the price should go down around $300.00-$400.00". This is for a Value resort May 5th-13th, by the way. So maybe there is hope for an AP code yet!

I read that you did on mousesavers. and posted as such. but when I went back to look at it again later to rerun the numbers for another thread, the info on mousesavers had changed and no longer says so. It still says 400 for a family of 4 as the value of the ticket upgrades but if you go on disney site and look at a reservation, the difference is actually 332.

 

[jessandtwo]

Does travel have to be completed by 6/2 or just started by that date?

Thanks for any help.
Jess

 

[PiratesCove]

Any idea if I booked today for 4/21 and free dining comes out for August, can I move it to then even if I have paid in full?

 

[jjohnson]

complete guess on my part but if this promotion runs thru 6/2 there will not be a free dining promotion

Ok, I see what you were saying. Why not wait and add the non-expiring option there. That's fine with me. To keep the money in pocket until then.
I was wondering if they would let you get the 10 day ticket on 3 nights and upgrade them to ph/wp&m for free, then make it all non-expire. It wouldn't be worth it if the free upgrades couldn't be non-expiring as well...

 

[ruthma]

They had discounts for these dates last year and still had free dining.

Yeah, we went at the end of May last year with basically the same promotion and again during free dining in Sept.
