~*~*~The Oct 2014 waiting patiently (or not so) for a discount thread ~*~*~

[aaarcher86]

I just returned from a quick vacation right before labor day and I stayed at ASMo. Would I get a bounce back offer? I haven't seen anything....

You need to book while on property. The offer is on the booklet in your hotel room.

Yes we received one today also! It covers some of the blackouts in October, was super excited!

yup. that is what CM's have said.

two different CM's have alluded to the possibility that additional days could open closer to when the last typical FD offers were provided.

perhaps they are using PIN's initially and then might open some other days.

at least that's my theory and i am sticking to it... ;0_)

Anyone know if there is any discounts for October 8th through October 12th? This seems to be blackout dates for free dining. Is there a chance of any other offers for those dates that may come out?

Yeah for you! What October dates did it cover? I'm getting hints that PINs have included the 3rd week of October (previously blacked out) but am holding out hope for something during the 4th-20th blackout dates.

A room discount might cover those dates. They're usually released a bit later in the summer.

Aug 25-Oct 3, Oct 19-Nov 1, Nov 9-22 and Dec 12-23

My only question is that the pin came in my hubby's name, can it still be applied to our reservations if their are in my name? I was on hold with Disney for an hour last night trying to get an answer when I finally got through I was disconnected. Didn't have the energy to try again.

I agree Mikie, I'm doing the same.

Well crud... I didn't even see it there. I was hoping I could apply it to my October vacation.

Thanks

Can you add dining and tickets it to it. is there usually a minimum stay?

Yes, you can use the room discount on a pkg reservation. I don't think there is a minimum on the room discounts.

DisPrncess.. 2 things. One to answer your question, Yes! The pins are actually attached to the address, so if you live in the same house/ traveling together you should be able to get the same offer. (as told to me by a Cm two weeks ago). Secondly..An most importantly, Check your MDE! We had an issue where we had a call disconnected and they actually CANCELLED our FD res! Took me three hrs on the phone with Guest Services to get it reinstated! Pixie dust coming your way! Good luck

Thanks for the pixie dust it must have worked, got FD applied to our reservations today! I did check MDE and all is well. Hoping that anyone who hasn't gotten a discount yet will get one soon!

Anyone else hoping for a room discount during "blackout"?

Me! We are stuck right in between those blackout dates.

We were able to be added as the third room on our friend's dad's free dining pin, but had to do a room only stay for two nights at the beginning. Would love to get a room offer for those two nights!

Hi everyone! It's been several years since I've been to WDW and it will be the first time we've taken my daughter (who will be 11) since she was an infant. I'd love to read through all 51 pages of this thread (and eventually will), but for now, I was hoping I could get some help on booking our trip. We'll arrive on 10/21 and plan to leave on 10/25. We're thinking we'll just do the 1 park a day plan and not get the dining option since we have very restricted diets. Our travel agent gave us a quote of $1390 for the 3-day park passes and the Pop Century hotel for the 3 of us. I wondered if we could get the package any less or at least some other benefits. Despite our dietary restriction, I'm interested in the free dining y'all have discussed, even if it means just getting one or two items we could eat.

THANKS!!!

Totally! Fingers crossed

 

[Lauren0505]

Still hoping as well. Regardless of discounts, I will book close to the 60 day mark so that we can get our fastpass plus booked. If Disney doesn't come out with anything else, I will just hope Orbitz still has a 15% off coupon code.

To get free dining, #1 u have to be arriving oct 26th or after OR receive a PIN via email or snail mail. And #2 stay a min of 3 nights and i think have 2-3 day tickets i forget which
