Could it work to just call and ask if the CM can actually throw you a code? I mean, why does one get a code over another, is it visits to the park, site, etc?

i am not positively sure but it looks like they are offering it to the public with min. stay and on select dates.
i am not allowed to post links yet but if you go to the disneyworld site and at the bottom click on Specials than on the Play! Stay! and Dine! link, you will see this:

if you don't want to stay at a moderate resort but want the dining plus package (which has the 1 table service per day), you can still stay at the value added resort and pay for an upgrade. for us, a family of 3, it worked out to be just under $300. but then staying at the port orleans resort for the week, was also about $300 more. so for us, it worked out that we would get more if we just went with the moderate resort.
but if you do go with the dining plus package, make sure you make reservations first before booking. a lot of the really popular restaurants are now booked for that time of the year. i actually started making reservations late this summer on the weeks i assumed we would be going (had to wait for my husband - firefighter - to see what dates he could get off and didn't know until early november).
i went back to see if i could make some changes - wanted to try the new restaurant in MK - Be Our Guest - but it is completely booked.
and you potentially can save more if you end up selecting more character dining or fine dining options. that's what we did in order to save around 1K. |
