VA M+M fares

[disney_princess_85]

It doesn't look like the M+M fares have been released for our dates yet. If I was to call VA, would they be able to tell me when they'll be released or is it a bit of a secret?!

 

[wayneg]

They can't tell you, all they can do is give you prices off their screens, they have no idea when/if offers are coming. No secret, they just don't know.

Thanks Wayne. It's quite frustrating having to wait for them!

For August 2008 I started checking from day they were released Sept 2007, I checked 3,4,5 times a day every day. Eventually they released some Xmas day morning, must have searched 350-400 times over the 3 months.
It is very frustrating and into Orlando recently not always worth it, I checked at the weekend for some dates in March, full price £414, M&M £398, a massive £16 saving.

I booked around a week ago 7-22nd Aug m&m £1964 2 adults & 1 child, price without m&m was £767 per adult saved around £70 per person. Today same flights are £2259 no m&m available.

I checked flights pretty much daily ummed and ahhhed when the m&m flights at £1964 appeared then they disappeared for a few days and I thiought I missed the boat, as soon as they reappeared I booked them.
