Year of A Million Dreams Begins October:Likely special rates?

[peedeejones]

I noticed that Disney is advertising the "Year of a Million Dreams" promotion.
It begins October 1st, so I was wondering if anyone thinks that it would be more likely or less likely that there would be special rates or codes for October to get more people to come?

When I booked for Oct, the CM was a hoot! She said she is so excited about Year of a Million Dreams..so, of course, I asked about it! I wondered if the CMs get to choose someone from the crowd to surprise, or how it would work. She said it will all be pre-set in the computers. Example: The 258th person to buy a turkey leg on Oct 18th will get X. Sounds exciting!

They've got to put some packages together. It's the only way to bring business in during the slow periods.

Thing is, October isn't so slow anymore. Events like MNSSHP & the F&W Festival, in addition to many school systems (like ours!) having fall breaks in October, are making it a very popular time to go. We went two years ago in October & it was great! The crowds were very manageable & the weather great. I keep reading reports here saying that October was very crowded last year. I don't know, but I'll find out when we go this Oct. 5-14!!

The celebration isn't just for October, it usually lasts at least 15 - 18 months.

I know, but the OP was specifically questioning the possibility of discounts in October.l

They did. Look at September.

October is considered regular season now, it's not nearly as slow as it once was.

I don't really get it...do we have to do something, or are they just picking people at random that are in the parks?

I heard CRO will be doing a lot of the picking. Or the front desk, and CM's stationed at parks.
