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

[McKelly]

I seriously need to get a life. I have checked this thread six times since I got up this morning waiting to see if anyone has more info on this code!! How pathetic is that?!?!?!

 

[WUVmyDISNEY]

Yes, the club level deal has been out, I just don't think they advertised it on the Disney site seperately. I did book the deal and just ran the numbers to see what % I did reserve at. We did get 40% off of the room portion and we booked during the last week of July for December '09. I was feeling lazy after checking the DWorld site and seeing they were having technical difficulties so I called and the CM told me they were down also for the next hour or so for enhancements to their system.

 

[Ericandus]

Looks like they are back up now, but I didn't see any new or additional offers...rats!

 

[pmdeve]

Waiting to book my next trip. Hope tomorrow's announcements will save same $.

I think I'm up to about 7 or 8 today already!!!

 

[5boyz]

Do they usually have deals for Feb?

 

[HLAuburn]

I just skimmed this thread, but if/when this deal is released, what months do you guys think it will be good for? End of this year or early next year?

 

[KayW]

Count me in as someone who has checked 5,6,7,8 plus times today. Can't wait for tomorrow.

We are going Feb14-20th. Only plane tickets have been booked.

Me too!! We haven't even left for our WDW this year and I'm already trying to plan for next year!

As an AP holder, I would not take a 4/3 deal unless it included the $200 gift card. Having to buy the 2 1 day passes for $158+tx is not something I want to do when money is tight. I would stick with AP discount instead.

We're AP holders and we used the 4/3 deal in May to stay at the Poly LVCL. We still saved more money than with any of the codes out there, even with the extra tickets.

Hi guys! One more day until the official announcement! I hope it's not similar to the pin code I got today....I get about a pin code every two weeks now, and it's never for when I need it! (February). The latest is travel between October 4 and November 24...you can get a value room for $69, moderate for $99 and AKL or WL for $169 per night. I hope this isn't what they're announcing tomorrow! Please Please Please let it be for wintertime!

 

[opus_00]

Oh, I know...I always get PIN codes when I can't go as well. I'm hoping the big announcement will include a great deal in March. That's the ONLY we are able to go.

March...March...March...March...March...

I just skimmed this thread, but if/when this deal is released, what months do you guys think it will be good for? End of this year or early next year?

There are already two offers for the fall up until just before Christmas, so a lot of us are hoping it's for the beginning of 2010 - myself included. Even though it's earlier than they usually announce deals for that time period, I am hopeful that is what it is.

The economy is still lousy, many are out of work or fearful they soon will be, so I think it's possible bookings may be so low in early 2010 that Disney is afraid to wait until early November to release a discount and might do it now.

I am holding off booking unless I can get something like the 4/3 deal that they ran last year - a $200 gift card on top of it would really come in handy too!

I hope they do release something soon because right now I can get my flight on frequent flyer miles. FF seats probably won't be available in November. And I would be able to book my ADRs when the 90 day window comes along.

Please give us some magic Disney!

Why is the "Special offers" page on the main website blank? I was hoping I hadn't missed anything. My MIL showed up this morning and is still here so I haven't been able to check and peek at anything until now!

 

[KJ Luvs Pluto]

No "concrete rumors" yet? Still waiting to hear what the deal is going to be. Of course we probably will not hear until tomorrow but I'm checking anyway - and I'm not even going to be able to go - how pathetic is that. Hopefully we'll get to go on vacation this year. If we do it will be camping in a National Forest somewhere.

This is exactly what I've been thinking too. I certainly think it would be harder for people to book an early Jan/Feb trip if Disney waits until the start of the holidays in November to offer a deal. Releasing it now would give more people time to plan.

I'm hoping for free dining myself!

 

[lissiesmum]

What time do they usually announce or post this info?

 

[figment82]

i'm incredibly hopeful for an early 2010 discount coming out, but I'm a bit concerned that this has only been mentioned on one podcast...normally by now several sites would have this rumor, and be talking about what the discount is

here's hoping!

 

[Monny2AE]

Please let this be for Jan 2010...my trip is pending on a deal coming out and I REALLY would like to know for sure if we're going to be able to swing this or not.

Crossing my fingers!

Although I'm surprised that whatever it is hasn't been leaked to the public yet. Last year the 4/3 deal was well known before the commercials aired.

 

[opus_00]

BTW...I know I'm late to this thread, but how do we KNOW there is going to be an announcement tomorrow about some special deal? Where did you hear this?
