Thanksgiving disney!!! :d

[Disneyfreak828]

Hello Everybody So, two days ago, my parents told me that they got plane tickets for Disney and at the moment, i probably became the happiest child in the world. I have been encouraging my family to go to Disney ever since...id sayyy.. the beginnning of the year. We used to go to Disney World every year, but that streak ended when i was about 12 years old. 2 years ago, we went again, with my mom, dad, and brother. My other brother couldnt come though So that was sad. But this year, I told my parents that before both my brothers move out (one is 19 and the other is 22), I really wanted one full family vacation again So they made that dream come true for me again, and I am SUPER excited. I can't even contain myself. We booked the plane tickets for Novemeber for Thanksgiving, and got REALLY good deals And now, we move to the next step which is booking the hotel. My parents told me I could start looking to see if i find any good deals, and so i ask you, my fellow disboards friends, do you know any hotels on Disney grounds that have any special deals? The only reason we want to stay on graounds is to get extra magic hours, but if we cant find any reasonable deals, we would stay off grounds...which is okay with me too! Im not picky So back to my question... does anybody know any deals for hotels? (On Disney grounds or not)

I don't know about any current disney hotel deals, but if you sign up for the mousesavers email newsletter there is always good information there. There is also a codes and rates board on the Dis where you can look for codes for when you're traveling. The other thing I would recommend is having your parents sign up for email notification from disney travel, search for vacations a few times on there and request the planning DVD. There is no rhyme or reason as to who or how people get one, but if your parents can get a PIN code (special email code unique to the family it is sent to), you can get some unadvertised deals.

We went last Thanksgiving and we got a pin code offer for 40% off. We ended up staying off site because we got an even better deal for more space. It's wonderful that your family could make your dream come true. Thanksgiving is a great time to go. Crowds weren't too bad (we didn't go on Thanksgiving day so I don't know about that) and the weather was great. Pack a couple of cooler/cold weather items just in case.

Have fun planning!

Sounds wonderfully exciting ! In '08 we did a family Thangsgving family grand gathering and I can't begin to tell you all the special memories we made!

Is anyone in your family military or gov. employed? Thankfully we were eligible to stay at Shades of Green Resort, on property near golf course. Very nice hotel with excellent savings for families. Best wishes planning and good luck!

If the only reason for onsite is EMH, consider the Swan/Dolphin. They are walking distance to the Boardwalk, Epcot, and DHS. These are deluxe resorts that can be had for the price of a Disney mod.
Here's a link to the savings:

There are no public codes out right now for that time period. My friend did get a PIN code, but that week was blacked out. Another tip....sign up on Disney's site and book a "mock" trip for the dates you plan on being there. Some people have said that that triggers a PIN code email....has never worked for me personally, but it is worth a shot.

What dates are you going? We will be there the 18th to 24th. I didn't really want to fly home on Thanksgiving, but airfares were much lower doing it that way, so that is what we are doing.

Have fun helping to plan your trip!

Thank you everybody!!! and to "4nana", no one in my family is apart of the gov't or military...is that why you were able to stay at the Shades of Green Resort? and to "Pglets Mommy", i will be going from the 21-28.
