I need to step away from the computer and wait to hear from TerriSue...trying to run the numbers myself on the WDW website and the prices I'm getting, with the discounts, are MORE than what I'm already booked in at with only 1 night discounted as part of a bounceback. ? Oh, maybe the ticket increase...

Thankful that Magical Journeys is such a wonderful company that goes the extra mile!

[Jeri]

I am patiently waiting to hear from Karen. It looks like we can get the room discount. With 2 rooms for 11 nights this could help a bunch!!
The free dining doesn't work with our dates.
I know the ladies at Magical Journeys are super busy, so trying to be patient while waiting to hear from her!

[Tink1]

On both the Free Dine offer and the Room only, the ticket price increase is going to factor in.

All the agents have been hard at work since before DRC even opened. We prefer to get everyone taken care of and then email.

Sit tight.....we are on it!

I know you are all busy, but does anyone know if we booked our trip way back in August 2012 & paid our deposits then, will we have to now pay the ticket price increase when getting the room discount offered?

I would think if you were switching packages the new ticket prices would apply.

We are headed down to WDW on November 20 for our daughter and SIL's group honeymoon. They decided they couldn't afford the Disney Wedding they dreamed of, and not all the family could or would attend a destination wedding like this.

We did get a sweet deal from Disney's Group Vacations Sales office with discounts on rooms at POFQ, Park Hopper passes and Disney Dining Plan.

Now that this new offer is out, I just did some calculations and found that if we switched all of this trip from the group plan to the free dining plan we would save a total of...

...wait for it...

$5 per person!


And we would have to cancel our current reservations,
And we would have to change hotels,
And we wouldn't be all together or even in the same building
And we would have to pay the cancellation fee.

Definitely not worth it for our group this trip.

But if you're down there on free dining from November 20 - 26, look for us.

Yay! I got the free dining for our vacation. However..I am unhappy with the fact that Disney Visa holders were not given first shot at it. I thought that was one of the perks (and reasons) we have the Disney Visa. I did not leak the release date and should not have been punished for it, which is what I feel happened. I could be wrong though. Had to completely change resorts, go to two rooms as there are 3 children with us and then pay to upgrade our dining plan. Happy to be going, just not as happy as I would have been. Sorry to fuss

I'm going to take a guess (because you are a party of 5) that you were originally booked at POFQ? If that's the case, it wasn't sold out for the offer it's just not included in the offer. You may have been better off to stay there with the room only offer and pay for the dining.

Correct you are. I had one person tell me Riverside was included but had used all the free dining rooms up, who knows. It is costing me around $800 more than I planned. I thought about staying in that room and dropping dining, but the $800 comes up to only $18 a day per person to spend. (5 people/9days) I don't know, what is the room discount and is it still available? Thanks

The room only discount is 20% on POFQ. Not sure when you're traveling so don't know the availability. You could have our friends at Magical Journeys check for you.

I'm thinking though, the avg room at POFQ runs about 230 - 270 so your savings be about $50 per night which is the cost of 1 adult on the DDP. You may be better with what you have as long as you are happy there.

After two calls, and over two hours on the phone (1:45 on hold), I decided to stay with what we have. 7 nights at ASM with the room only discount came to a whopping $37 difference. That makes no sense to me (unless its due to the ticket increase). I wasn't willing to move to ASMu for just $37; my DD likes Buzz and Woody too much. Free dining isn't available during our dates, either, so no discounts for us this trip. Oh well.

[tinksmom02]

Poor Terrisue was on the phone all day with these discounts! MJ has some awesome, incredible agents, let me tell you! Anyway, she was able to get us in for "free" dining, so we're saving over $430 for our trip. Not too bad, especially since I'd already decided to do the DDP for this trip anyway.

I had posted in the vacation planning thread that we were considering shortening this trip, and moving it over to Universal, but this savings might change all that...

[Tinker-Brendie]

Is it normal for the Poly to sell out on the first day of a special offer? Just wondering...

I was checking dates and I see Riverside is sold out during some dates as well.

[DisneyEpcotDad]

I kind of miss the more simpler days of making reservations. Now it seems more complicated. I gave up trying to figure the value of the dining plans years ago! Now the special offers offered between all the variations, e.g. Annual passholder rates, AAA rates, Disney regular discounts is moving into the "who's on first?" category. Now I see why there are people working numerous, long, hours to assist us with travel and room reservations! Thanks to you all!

Could be there weren't a lot of rooms available for the special offer to begin with.

[MPoppins]

Woo hoo! I thought I wouldn't be able to take advantage of these discounts yet I got a magical email from Debbie K. this morning telling me she had switched our ressie over to this rate! She is saving us $800!! I love Magical Journeys and I love Debbie K!

[TexansInNY]

FYI - just got off the phone with WL for December trip and saved $978!
