theories on the august 12th big announcement....

[DISNEY1975]

OK I just refreshed the Special page and there is nothing there!!! Maybe it a SIGN????

I just logged into the Disney site and all the specials ar gone!

 

[Momof2J's]

Yep, and once again, this link (for me):

http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/special-offers/

is blank again OR now I sometimes get the "Safari can't open the page" message that usually appears when a site is down or overwhelmed.

When I click on it, I get the free dining offer.

Mine tooo mine toooooo!

 

[DisneyMommy1022]

I still get nothing!!! COme on DIsney I need a good deal for 2010!!!!!

 

[figment82]

They just announced the deal for WDW.

The complication is that it is posted on a secret website and you have to find it.

that was NOT NICE.

...but funny!

I am getting the blank special offers page too using Firefox.

 

[DISNEY1975]

Maybe the big deal is the Free Vacation Planning DVD or 0% APR vacation financing for 6 months??????

 

[WeLoveLilo05]

Maybe by 6, maybe I am right!

 

[mandanjeremy]

All offers are still there for me. this is getting ridiculous, but at the same time, i cant seem to stop myself

 

[wishinuponastar]

Me too....and my head hurts....

Don't lose hope!! I live in Missouri and if I remember right when they announced the 4/3 deal in November the site was doing the same thing it is now all day and IF I remember correctly, it was announced approximately 7 pm. We've all waited and anticipated this long; let's NOT give up now!!!

 

[leeann32]

Mine is blank too! Maybe this is it???

 

[figment82]

mine was blank all day but now it's saying "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" when I click on the special offers page. When I click on the free dining page, I an still GET to the room-only deal, though.

 

[WDWKOOK]

Eureka! I think I've figured out the "complicated" part of the announcement they eluded to on the Podcast:

WDW will no longer offer any discounts, they're removing all of them from the website right now and it's FULL RACK RATE, ALL THE TIME, just like back in '71!

You do realize you guys are going to cause some weird triangular web crash by having constant feeds and refreshes to disboards, disney's website and mousesavers, right ?

 

[WeLoveLilo05]

hahahahaha, totally OT but when in WDW in May I kept saying to fiance "DISers say this, DISers do that" and he was like what is a DISer, and I told him. And he was like OMG there is actually a name for you people! HAHA
and then while on our trip we played "spot the DISer". When eating our breakfast 1 morning he was like "over there a DISer" and the man had his binder out and stuff. And I was thinking to myself...hmm wonder what his spreadsheet looks like.

But, we have to make dinner!

yes, my poor blackberry has definitely been overworked and over refreshed today!

 

[Bete]

from the Disney website.

I would love to get free park tics and free dining like the UK promo.

serves them right! (well...at least disney and disboards...mousesavers doesn't deserve it I guess....but disney shouldn't tease us by putting up the 4/3 banner randomly and having their site go down for maintenance all the time...and this whole thing could be stopped if someone from the podcast just chimed in and said either "oops, our bad, looks like it's not going to be announced today" or "wait until 8 PM, that's when they're putting it up")

We had a LOT more info last year before the deal was announced. Like, we pretty much knew what time of day it was coming out and approximately what the deal was (4/3) though we didn't know the exact terms. I don't know how to take the fact that Mary hasn't chimed in yet...either this is all a hoax, or no one knows anything, or they've been sworn to extreme secrecy *shrugs*
