January 2016 Discount Code Watch

[Usandthe4kids]

For anyone that's booked SPD this morning, does it seem consistent with last year's discount? I have a Disney visa but I can't call because my children are here and it's a surprise. The waiting is killing me!

Going to be interesting to see how they release them. Free dining you were able to alter reservations online about 5 hours before the phones opened. We haven't seen an early Visa promotion in a while, I doubt that they will start now. Looking forward to knocking about $600 off my reservation.

Don't worry.. I'll serve my own crow

If you've already booked and made ADR's, will applying the discount mess up the ADR's?

I am staying at Bay Lake Tower (non-DVC) for Marathon weekend and so I see that these Visa discounts do not apply. I receive emailed specific pins almost every time they come out though since I only go to Disney every few years. Do you think pins (if they come soon) will include Bay Lake Tower?

POFQ! SPD January 31-February 5. All views were available. She also said room only discount is available.

Grrrrr! When I called, the CM told me that FQ was not included at all! So now I have to pay more at Riverside for a garden view, at a resort that I didn't want. Not thrilled.

I just got off the phone with Disney Reservations and there are no room only discounts just yet such as AP or FL-Res even for Disney Visa. Congrats to those booking SPD this morning, now cmonnnnnn Room only. We're still waiting for ya.

I do not believe ADRs are tied to the room in that way, they are just tied to your MDE account. For example: You can book an ADR if you live in Florida and are not staying on site.
Someone else can confirm if what I am saying is correct.

I was told POFQ was excluded from this offer when I called

No, your ADRs are separate from your resort reservation . If your reservation confirmation number changes you may have to link them, but even now that's becoming automated.

You are correct, ADR's are not tied to the room. Lots of offsite and locals book restaurants, just as you point out.

I've had that happen to me. If someone is interested in POFQ, it would be worth a call to check. Disney isn't particularly consistent.

I am a Disney Visa reward card holder. I had the SPD deal applied to my reservation and I must say I was not IMPRESSED AT ALL!! I am staying 9 nights and it only saved me $ 326.07. In the past I have stay 7 or 8 nights and I have saved almost $500 each time! Looks like Disney is slowly giving less discounts as time goes on

Which Room Only discount are you referring to, I was just told on the phone there is only SPD available?

I saw on here that it was available and asked for the Disney Visa room only discount. Saved about $800.00.

Yeah. Sometimes I have gotten those and I seem to know more than they do. This time I had a great one! Though she did tell me i was the easiest reservation she had ever made because i was so prepared. I know this drill! lol

Just got the SPD applied to our current reservation in the Finding Nemo room at AOA. Saved just under $400...not as good as FD, but I'll take it!!!
