I was able to get the passholder rate for the 12/6-12/15 portion of my stay.
But apparently, no discounts of any kind are available for 12/4 and 12/5 at either of the Port Orleans resorts, so I am stuck with rack rate for the first two nights.
(They did say I could get the discount for those two nights if I would switch to CSR or CBR, but I've already stayed at both of those, and I would like to try something new this time, so I'm starting at POFQ, then moving to POR on 12/6.)
Also, I was told I'm not eligible for the free dining gift card they are offering to passholders during selected days ($50 per stay for moderate resorts; rates differ for other resort categories), because I am arriving before 12/9, even though my stay includes their entire December range for this bonus (12/9 through 12/15). It's ironic that I would have been rewarded if my stay had been shorter.
Because of this situation (especially the one in the second paragraph), I am thinking that for my 2008 December visit next year, maybe I'll just stay about a week, so as to arrive after the Pop Warner crowds are gone, in order to be eligible for a discount for my entire stay.
This year I will still be there 12/4 - 12/15.
