WDW Discount Released Tomorrow?

[Mouse Skywalker]

Hey Everyone: I just saw this on the Mousesavers site. Anyone know what might be coming down the pike?

LATEST NEWS & HOT DEALS
AS OF 11/5/08

If you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World in the first half of 2009, watch this space for a HUGE deal! I expect this exciting new offer will be released on Thursday, November 6.

 

[sorul82?]

My guess is free dining.

 

[fakereadhed]

It's a free whatever you're celebrating button and 2 adults and a 2 kids in a value plus MYW tickets for the low low price of rack rate.

Actually, I heard some rumors that it might be buy 4 nights get 3 free.

My guess is free dining.

I was thinking the same thing!

I was thinking the same thing![/QUO

what does free dining usually entail? right now we are booked at the beach club for a week with 8 day park hoppers, if they add free dining what would that mean for what I already booked?

That crazy Jim Cramer did say that Disney's quarterly earnings report would be released tomorrow.....and to not dump Disney stock until we see the 1st qtr of 2009. So, my expert opinion is that Disney is going to offer some "We're sorry about the wheat buns and nuggefying the chicken strips" discounts for early '09.

If they really mean it they will get RID of the wheat buns (or at least give us a choice) and bring back the chicken strips!!!

I found this over on the codes and rates board...

Nah, not taunting, just good-natured teasing.

It's going to be a really great vacation package offer, and if my sources are correct, it will run January 4 through June 27, but there will be some dates blocked out during that time. You heard it here first!

That's all I'm sayin' for now. We should know tomorrow, I hope!

Ok this is what I just got from a very reliable source!




Stay 4 nights and get 3 nights free at Walt Disney World plus a $200 Gift Card!!


This isn't official yet - but we hear this will be released at 5:00 pm tomorrow and we don't want you to miss out! Here is what we've heard:

Book your trip beginning at 5 pm on Thursday, November 6, 2008. How big is this discount? It's the biggest discount run by Disney Parks since 2001!

For every 4 nights - you get 3 nights free!
For every 4 days of tickets - you get 3 days free!
If you book your trip between January 4th and March 29th, you also receive a $200 Disney Gift Card to spend!

*****Book between November 6th and December 20th!*****
Travel between January 4th and June 27th!
Travel between January 4th and March 29th to include the Disney Gift Card.
Travel between March 29th and June 27th to include the discount, but not the Disney Gift Card.

I saw this ont the code board as well. that would be very cool

 

[CHES94]

I wonder what that will do for those of us who already have trips planned during that time. HMMMMMM.........maybe I can change from my currently booked land/sea package to the podcast cruise and THEN get 7 nights in the parks!!

 

[nurse.darcy]

Okay, personally this would be a great discount if I could get it for room only. 4 nights room only for my dates at AKL (I would get 7 nights cause the last 3 nights would be free) is approx 1400. AP rate for 7 nights is nearly 1700. I would get a savings of 300 bucks plus a 200 gift card. Bringing my total savings to 500. So, if you can do room only this is awesome cause now I could stay at my ultimate goal resort and actually afford it. . .lol.

 

[Jennygt]

I am not planning to travel until Sept I wonder what they will offer by then, if you do the math I wonder what %off this would be, I need to get my calculator. Do you think if you are on the dining plan that will also be extented the 3 extra days? Don't think I am dumb but this is my stupid question of the day, the rumored offer says "for every 4 days get 3" would that mean if you had 8 days you would get 6 free?

 

[miss missy]

oh gosh... can I pull this off??

Edit... hmmm there are NO values for April vaca week already! The offer isnt even out yet!

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

I would prefer a really great room-only discount as well since we're trying to squeeze another trip out of our AP's before they expire in August. However, if the package deal is too good to pass up, I guess we can still book it and save the tickets included for another visit (along with the umpteen 1-day base tickets we already have from all the times we've done this before!).

 

[LMO429]

Does anyone from the Podcast Team have any information on this that is reliable?

 

[Moira222]

will i have to cancel and then rebook my january trip to take advantage? I booked directly through disney.

About a week ago we had heard that some sort of discount may be released on 11/6 at 5PM. We chose not to say anything about it without the details for this very reason.

There is a lot of speculation as to what it might be and who might or might not be eligible. Some people are actually getting nasty about this on other threads and no one has any official information about it yet.

While you all know I love to 'tease' you all about stuff we're doing, I don't feel comfortable putting out teases based on info from Disney unless we are sure it is good solid info. Besides, I can usually 'back up' my teases with some cool stuff - we have no such promise that what Disney will offer will be cool.

I know it's hard to wait but let's all take a deep breathe and see what happens at 5PM tonight.

I sincerely hope it is an awesome offer that most people will be able to take advantage of. I have my ideas from what I have heard but on this one I am waiting.

Just a reminder - if you have already booked through Dreams Unlimited Travel you will be our first priority in getting you any discount or offer that comes up that you are eligilble for. Your agent will apply any discount automatically and inform you via email.

This is why I am so glad I booked our trip through Dreams! I'm anxious to see about any possible offer, but at least I don't have to worry about rushing to apply a code or rebooking something.

Thanks John, that's too bad that people are getting nasty about this on other threads. I think it's fun to speculate, hope, and think, but there's no reason to get nasty about things. Especially when none of us have the information. I agree with your assessment about taking a deep breath and waiting to see what happens.

At least this thread is not getting carried away with itself. It's one of the things I like about the Podcast Forum. Although, I guess we can get a little carried away with some things planned by the team. But that's just because we care...

 

[Jennygt]

Why would people get nasty over a possible discount!? I agree with a previous poster, this is the best forum to discuss anything. I have noticed that some people get a little carried away in other locations.
