January 2008 Code Watch

[n2mm]

I have an AP and I found that weekend nights were not discounted, only Sun-Thursday. Weekends were still rack rate for AP's. I would guess a General code would be even worse, not better. I have one night at POP (1/18/08 Friday night) and I am paying rack rate even though I have an AP and AAA.

If you do get lucky and the price drops I believe all you do is call and they will credit your CC back the difference in price when they modify the reservation with the discount. No need to make a new reservation.

They are discounted, but the website is not showing it. You have to call to get the correct price. I called today and booked Pop for Saturday night 1/26. The AP website shows rack rate and CRO quoted me $69 a night. Actually if you log into the Florida Resident website, their's is correct and shows the availability. I did it this morning and saw that Pop and Music were both available for a standard room for Saturday night, so I called CRO and booked it under the AP rate (AP and FL resident seem to come from the same group).

Of course since you are going MLK weekend, that may change everything. Your dates are blacked out because of the holiday weekend. The following weekend is when I have an AP discount on my room at Pop for Saturday night.

I have a single room only through AAA booked at Pop for 1/26 and it was discounted. I think 69?

I received a pin code in an email about a week or two ago, but I have my MYW package with DDP booked with AAA, and my TA was not able to get the offer for me for the WL, they were already gone...I did not want to change my resort, so I kept it as it is, with the AAA discount.

But, now she was able to get me the code for the free hopper option with the water parks and more. We did end up saving $140.00, so I am happy!

My TA called me yesterday afternoon and had done the same thing for us!! Saved us $300! Now we have enough money to buy the P&PP tickets!

[bettydau]

I agree with Isutiggergirl, HOOP is a blast! We'll be there Jan. 17; our second time too. Can't imagine going to the World without going to Hoop-De-Doo!

 

[TinkAsh2001]

Thanks for the advice. We decided to do it. Sitting in Cat. 2 at the 9:00 show on the 14th! Im excited! It will be the first for both of us!

I bought my tickets through UT (Undercover Tourist). If you sign up for the Mousesavers newsletter before Nov. 14th, you should get the new newsletter on the 15th, and they offer a special discounted rate thru the newsletter. It saved dd and I about $30 on our 5 day hoppers. They also offer free shipping. Don't pay for the shipping because the tickets come so fast. I ordered on Monday and had the tickets on Friday.

The only RO (room only) codes are for AP holders and FL residents, of which I am neither. Based on mousesavers history information, Disney hasn't offered RO codes since 2005. I think they want to have their money UP FRONT, so that is why they give the discounts on the Pkgs. jmho.

If you hear of one, please let me know. I was an eager beaver and bought my tickets through UT, or I would have taken advantage of the package deal.

I agree w/ the money thing....has it really been since 2005 since a RO discount was offered??!! I'll stop holding out I suppose and accept it
I checked on a AP price, and the amount I'd spend on that against what I'd save on the room turns out to be a wash, so there goes that idea...oh well, thanks for the info, and if I hear of one for RO, I'll post it

For just regular folks like me.....YES!!! For AP and FL residents...NO. Guess I ought to move to FL.

The AP and FL resident price is about half of what I spent. Oh well. It would cost a whole lot more to buy an AP though. Especially since I don't go that often.

newbie here ...looking for codes (two years ago there were January codes) for January thank you

 

[Dragonfly0521]

Just by replying you are subscribed.

Also, there are codes out there! Search back on this thread for them. It is a package discount that offers a slight room discount and free ticket upgrade to Park Hoppers and Water Parks and More.

Some resorts are already filling up with allowed codes. (I had to switch resorts on the very first day that the code came out for Disney Visa holders!!!) So call it in NOW! Good Luck and Here's to the final countdown!

Do you want package code, room only, ect??

 

[butchwheeler]

I still find if I take the time I can do better ala carte in putting a trip together *s* Thanks , Butch

 

[DISNEYmooner2008]

Sorry, I don't know anything about room only codes. I know I used a package code and it would have saved me $400, but instead I opted for the free upgrade to AKL instead of POR and it still saves me $60.

 

[TinkAsh2001]

Anyone gonna be there January 13 or 14th?! DBF and I will be there staying at POP and were hoping to meet some fellow disers?! Anyone intersted?!
