Disney Visa Offer Oct-Dec

[coloradowendyl]

As with most offers by Disney, they used the Value resorts as the Lead In rate. Based on availability, you can book this promotion at the moderates and the deluxe resorts as well.

After sitting on hold for 30 minutes (at 4:00 am my time) I was told - look the problem is your travel dates. It was such a rude tone of voice that I was taken back. Bottom line, I could only get a discount for 3 of my 7 days. After calculating the costs of a split stay I would have only been saving $92.

I will definitely use MJ next time.

I have been on the phone like a mad man today trying to get a visa card for this promotion. Of course my wife has been fussing for 2 years that we should have that card and now it is coming back to haunt me. Does anyone know how long this normally takes? If i have to hear "I told you so" one more time tonight I might scream.

[SpecJoe Magic]

One person staying in our room has an AP, so we are already getting an AP discount. The rest of us already have Magic Your Way tickets with no expiration. We have a Disney Visa. Is there any way that we can take advantage of this deal in addition to the AP discount we are receiving?

[The Hitchhiking Ghost]

I shouldn't respond because I don't know for certain. But I thought the original DDP rules were that 1) doesn't apply to AP holders (they get DDE) and 2) everyone in the room has to be on the plan and it's tied to your number of nights.

I'd be very very surprised if you got both the AP discount plus free dining.

This does lead me to a question that I was going to post anyway. Normally if we go down in December, still in value season, we often get a 20% AAA discount at the moderates, which saves us around $40 a night. The question I have, with this special are you just get free DDP, but paying full rack rates for the room? If room is at full rack rate, is it possible to still use AAA discount while getting the DDP, or "do no other offers" apply. How this is answered could determine on whether we go for an unscheduled trip in December.

[Tink1]

There appears to be a small room discount as well with the Disney Visa Offer.

It cannot be applied with a AAA rate.

What happened to the days when we all just got in our cars, drove to Disney and went to the parks. No planning, no nothing. Just 'on a whim'....

[The Hitchhiking Ghost]

Well. that would be a 3,000 mile driving whim for me, which at near $4 a gallon for premium, begs cause for planning.

Besides, planning is part of the fun

[Sunshine1010]

he he....that WOULD be expensive. I have to admit....I LOVE the planning. My husband makes fun of me all the time, but when the time comes...and everything is organized....he ALWAYS thanks me! he he

[mickeysmouse]

I am curious, if you book trip and give discount/promo code for Disney Visa...how will they verify this? Do you have to charge the trip to the Visa? Will this be released to the general public? I am considering booking under my fathers card but would prefer to wait for general public announcement, if there even will be any. This has to be Disneys way of making sure they stay busy with whats going on in the economy. Very smart on their end. I am an economist w/ the government and this makes great sense. Only thing keeping me from jumping on this one is litter of puppies due 10/28 and ready to go at 6 wks old mid december provided I sell them all. AGHHH!!!!

By the way, thank you for responses to my questions!

We are leaving on 9/27 and am bummed that this promotion starts the day after. I've left a message with my agent at AAA hoping that we can get at least of the portion of the trip with free dining. Would I really have to split the trip if I wanted this deal?

[diz_girl]

Rats! This deal stops the week before I arrive and starts again the week after I leave. Even if they did offer it while I was there, the WL probably wouldn't have been included anyway.

[TheDuckRocks]

Oh boy, I was able to change my POFQ with deluxe dining plan to WL courtyard view with the deluxe plan for just over $200 more using this code. They gave me complete credit for the regular DDP and there was an added discount for the room. We are very excited to be able to stay at a deluxe resort in a room other than standard and keep our deluxe DDP. The only negetive was I had to tweak a couple of ADRs and there were a couple of choices that are already unavailble for the dates I wanted and they weren't extremely popular restaurants.

[Sinewiz]

After reading I'm still not getting it. In my party of 6 adults, does the plan affect all meals if I'm picking up the tab with my Disney Visa or only for my meal?

All basic DDP meals that are on the MYW package you have for everyone on that reservation. It is not a just go to the restaurants and pay with your Disney Visa deal. It is just for a Disney Visa MYW package that include rooms, park tickets and a dining plan. Hope this helps you.

When does this offer expire for Visa card holders?

[kminton]

Can I just say that I'm thankful that I used ColoradoWendyL from MagicalJourneys for our reservation in October. THANKS WENDY!

We've now saved almost $800 on our Fall Break Disney trip this time. Plus we are getting to stay at WL for the first time at about the same cost it would have been for POR - this is me when DH called and told me.

Thanks again Magical Journeys and Wendy - you've turned me into a MJ believer.

When does this offer expire for Visa card holders?

I just pulled up my email from Disney Rewards and I saw no "must be booked by" date.

They list 3 windows for which free Dining is offered. I'm assuming that as long as there is availability that you would be able to make reservations up to 12/14 which is that start of the last window of opportunity.

[mrshams]

I just got off the phone with AAA and they were able to apply the discount. Since we're arriving on 9/27, we had to get a room-only reservation for that night and then get the promotional package starting the next day. With that we will save $500!!!! We won't have park tickets on our first day, but we weren't sure if we would have gone anywhere after getting up early for our flight to MCO. So I don't mind.
