UPDATED: New Discount Being Released 12-21

I am thrilled to hear about this. We are planning to go for 5 nites (just so happens) during Presidents week in Feb. I have booked air... I have park tickets for most in the party... but have held off on reserving a room as there is no disocunts we can use for that week.... YET.

Getting a $300 gift card is pretty good. Rack rate for room only at POP was $726 (so this equates to a 41% discount). I will be online Monday AM to book.

I hope they dont require us to buy tickets to get this deal. (I have more one day passes then I will probably ever use!)
 
I am so confused. We have a reservation (paid for ) for Jan.23rd-30th at CSR. We have the dining plan also. I booked when the buy four get three free nights packages were released. There were NO free gift cards at that time. Can someone please help me understand what is going to be offered on the 21st and if I would be eligible to get a free gift card with the package that I already have?

the guess of what is going to be offered is a free gift card that has been stated. It will be a seperate offer and you can't combine offers as a rule. Last year the 4/7 offer came with a $200 free giftcard for the beginning of the offer. This one sounds like it is what the PIN was with a free giftcard last spring.
 
oooooooh, :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo: I am getting excited. If this deal is anything like last years, then we may be able to go this Feb (adults only) and in Aug (with the boys).:lovestruc
I know what I will be doing on the 21st.:surfweb:
What, Christmas is in 3 days?? Too bad... I've got deals to watch.:santa:
 

The buy 4 get 3 free should also be available for them. they might want to check the room only discount & see if it is a better deal though, since they are set to be there more than 7 nights.


Thank you for that but we really just want the gift card if we can get it. Our package was a very generous wedding gift (we would never have been able to afford a honeymoon anywhere otherwise) so if we could get the gift card to give us some spending money while we are there that would be AMAZING.

I'll just have to wait until Monday and see what happens! :):)
 
I just called Disney (a couple times actually, to get different opinions) and was told by both that the card would be a merchandise card (not good for dining). I told her that was not a very good deal (few people would go spend $750 on souviniers, right). Is this a very good deal???? What do you all think?

It's not the IDEAL situation but having the option of 750 dollars to spend is better than nothing. ;-)
 
And Easter Week is blacked out. I am telling you, I so regret going to WDW this Easter. No deals, holiday pricing at meals and for the DDP and no deal as of yet. We can only go during peak times now and if this is how it is, well maybe our Disney Days are winding down.

I'm frustrated too. That is the week my nephew will be at WDW with his school's orchestra, and he really wants someone to come see him. I want to go, but I am choking on paying $130 a night for a Value, especially when I cannot find airfare for under $400 a person.

I went and double checked, and it is actually $145 a night for a Value. Even worse!

Have you tried Continental Airlines? I have been seeing fares for like $250 roundtrip/ person. That's not as bad. Have you tried Southwest as well? They often have really good prices.

Definitely not ideal but free money is free money. If nothing else, I can get my daughter that nice big Cinderella's castle for her room with it. Let's just hold out hope that dining will be included or they will put the 4/3 and 5/2 offers with it to balance it a little. Yeah, I know. Pipe dream. :lmao:

I have. If I could return the following Tuesday, instead of Saturday, the airfare does drop by as much as $200. I just don't know if I could handle that much alone time. My sis would obviously like to go, but there is no way she could leave the rest of her family for that long. Not to mention the saving would all be eaten up by the resort costs.
 
Oh I hope that this actually happens! It would be wonderful! :)
 
$750 gift card and you pay rack rates??? I am not sure that is any great deal...:confused3 we saved almost $1000 off of rack rates with our pin....

so I guess I will wait and see what the deal ends up being. we are lucky and already got a PIN in oct. (well my BIL did, I DIDN"T;)

but at least we know somehting is coming
 
I would kill for a PIN over this. But I will take whatever I can get.:thumbsup2

If it is merchandise only I will definitely not bite. If I bought $750 in merchandise I would have to pay the airline more to send it all home. I do not spend NEAR that much on "stuff" at Disney, BUT if we could not get the DDP and use it for all our dining I would consider it.

It is better than nothing, but with our finances the way they are it would not be enough to seal the deal for me. I do not need $750 worth of things to clutter up my house. That is A LOT of money to be used solely on merchandise.

Well, if that is the case, I will just buy a bunch of princess clothes for my daughter.

Called and was told the same thing. This will not make me book :lmao:
 
It's too bad you can't use the gift cards on food, if you could, it would be a great deal. Oh well! :confused3
 
Definitely will not bite at this one! Disney will have to do a percentage off room or 4/3 pkg again if they want to see mass bookings.
