UPDATED: New Discount Being Released 12-21

[PolyAddict]

See, this is the part I don't understand. The hotel package being full price is pure conjecture at this point. There hasn't been the slightest confirmation of this from Disney. There has been tentative confirmation that the discount will include a gift card, but beyond that no one can say what the discount will entail.

I guess I'm just trying to figure out why everyone is running these numbers without knowing what they should be running. I mean what happens tomorrow if it turns out there is a discount on the rooms plus the gift card. That means everyone who already decided that this discount isn't good has to rerun numbers again.

I'm all for the "Oh, I hope it is this or that or something else."; I guess I just wonder why this discount is being discounted (pun intended ) before it is even released.

I have run both numbers, with a room discount and without. So i know for sure it has to be a minimum of 20% room discount plus gift card can be used for food.

I think someone asked this earlier but I don't remember seeing the answer. What time does Disney update their system? Midnight? Just wondering when all of us should check their website tomorrow.

I posted this same question last night. Safe to say that nobody knows the answer at this point.

I just booked yesterday for 2/19-23. I asked the CM if I should wait until Mon to book because of the new offer thats coming out. He said I can't really say much but I will tell you that the offer of buy 4 get 3 the the best offer Disney has had, so you got a great deal. Book now don't wait. So I booked.

its going to be a loooooong night!!! First we booked at AKL, then had to bump down to POP. THen was offered points at AKL, but we wanted Jambo house NOT Kidani, so now I'm waiting for this!!!!!!!! Maybe we could switch back to AKL

I'm on the phone now updating our package to the new special. I really need a discount - but I would be crazy to turn down the 750 since I have nothing else. I can use it to pay for my 2 girls meals (they are under 3 so they can't be on the dining plan) and for some of their birthday gifts and our tips. I am still working on and hoping for a pin.

 

[GayeofPA]

This was very easy to do. I just called the reservation number (407-939-7675) and told her I would like the special offer. She added it to my current reservation (we're staying at POP, 7 nights, with dining package).

 

[ga9497]

I have priced a few and the room, park tickets and dining is all at full price
All you will get is the gift card

If you have no other discount this is a good offer

 

[Conkozan]

Looks like the package requires a 5 day base. No one day bases trick

Just booked by phone for POP the week before easter!

The code on the website is only for Deluxe/Villas! He had to look up the code for value.

The code for value (with dining) is OVR!

 

[pbmouseman]

if you're on a 7 day stay at a deluxe with the B4G7 package, you're probably better off with that deal. At least that's the way it worked out for me. I just ran my current package (7 nights at Poly GV, 2 adults, 2 children, DDP) through on the website and even with the gift card calculated in, it would cost me about $400 more. While it would have been nice to get the gift card like they did last year, I'm not complaining. I'm very happy with my current deal.

Can you list your dates?
I was told that the black out dates are March 28-April 10th and they are hard black out dates. Anyone arriving during this time cannot get the offer. In the past they had black out dates but there was very limited availability. This time they are saying no availability at all during these dates

Just called this morning and had the code applied to our existing reservation.

We didn't have a previous code so anything is a step up. I asked the lady adding the code if there were restrictions to the card and she said I could use it on anything and then she went on to say "food, tips, alcohol, t-shirts, just about anything you want. You can even save it for your next trip." I thought that was pretty fair.
