Ok, I just moved, but didn't move to the right country. I came across this Disney discount for UK residents: Wow! Nice deal!!!

H ithere. It may seem like a really good deal but it isn't as good as it sounds for many people. I live in the UK but usually book through the US Disney site because it is cheaper. We are never offered free dining at value resorts in the UK. The prices are also more expensive to start with, depending on the exchange rate.
I suppose the great thing is that in the UK we are able to either book through the UK site or the US site so at least we get a choice. You usually cannot beat the huge % off discounts that are available in the US and it is almost unheard of for anyone in the UK to be sent a pin code for a discount.

Sometimes the UK rates are good, we're 4 adults going August 1st for 7 nights, we have a 2 bedroom villa at OKW, have free DDP and a 14 day pass which includes park hopper plus water parks for £2454 = $3951. We're very lucky I know. As the offer doesn't start until August 1st we've rented points for BWVs as rack rates just seemed far too much.

These great offers in the UK only seem to be on OKW and SSR, we really wanted to stay at BCVS for the duration of the 10 nights that we are at WDW but rack rate and even renting points for the whole duration was too much and it seemed daft to pass this good offer by.

It does seem unfair that we get these offers and US clients don't although PIN codes are never offered to UK addresses, I got one once when I got a DVD sent to my Mum's place in Ft Lauderdale but I obviously couldn't use it as they wanted proof that I was a Florida resident.
