They probably will include the rest of the year , don't you think? When can I start looking for Sept 26-Oct 3rd? Nanci, you do the whole nine yards, airfare and the rest? I am planning a family reunion, 18 people to be exact. If you do it all, I would rather use MJ. Thanks

I am hoping, just like you, that this turns out to be the case, or maybe that they extend the free dining (if they do it again for Aug/Sept) into October... our dates are similar to yours, just a bit later. But until something comes out like this for the fall, we're waiting... just can't justify a "full price" trip right now!

I'm not sure if MJ does airfare - I want to say no, but I may be wrong - but even if they don't, I wouldn't hesitate to use them, esp. for such a large party (have fun!! ). They'll be GREAT for you!!

[Tink1]

We do not do airfare.

With the state of the airline industry and their business model it is virtually impossible to keep up with the airfare changes in so many different airports. Plus the carriers come and go from the airports like the wind.

Airfare is cheapest on the air carriers individual websites, it is how we book our own.

Wow! through August! I hope this indicates a good discount will be coming for September, since that is historically the lowest attendance period. I was hoping for free dining, but the 4/3 deal would be great as well. I'm curious, if you book 4 days with the dining plan and park hoppers, would you get 3 additional days including dining and hoppers - or is it just the room you'd get free?

[watch4pixiedust]

I'm fairly sure that with the 4/3 deal, the free part is just your room and ticket, but you would have to pay for all 7 days of dining. The add'l charge for park hopping is the same extra amount for 4 days as it is for 7 days.

Hopefully someone else will confirm or correct this soon

You are correct!

Which would be the better discount, the 4/3 or the military discount?

[Dsnygirl]

Nanci, how does this work for AP holders, esp. if we want the DDP? Can I book the room and buy tickets for 3 people, but do the DDP for 4? Or would I need to buy a one-day ticket for me?

[Tink1]

Everyone on the reservation need the same tickets, and everyone must have a ticket. So Debbie can get you the lowest ticket your party needs and the others can upgrade when they arrive, or you can purchase the same ticket as their needs and save either to put towards your AP renewal.

Forgive me, I'm confused... probably b/c I've been up all night... But how would I put my ticket towards my AP renewal? How does that work? I didn't know you could do something like that...

[hokies4life]

Oh boy Oh boy Oh boy!!!

I'm so excited about this! I'll be waiting for next week to get more info!

If the free dining comes along this year, what would be the better discount, 4 get 3 or free dining?

[Tink1]

You have to renew in person and have the ticket you want to apply on it with you. That is all.

Okay, one more clarification, and then I'll leave you alone... Does the ticket I have with me reduce the price, or extend the new AP by a day, or by however many days the ticket is for?? Gracious, I never thought this would be so confusing to me... and now I can't even blame not getting any sleep on it...

[Tink1]

reduce the price

It may depend on some of the specifics for a given trip. From what some other posters have said, where you stay may make a big difference in which discount is better, since resort pricing can vary so much. My suggestion would be to check with Magical Journeys, they are excellent at handling questions like this.

I was trying to figure out the same thing, and I think it depends on the number of people in your party, their ages, where you stay & what time of year it is.

For us, a family of four, the free dining for 7 nights in value season would save us $868 -- the 3 free nights (@ CBR in regular season, which is when we'd like to go) would save us $569 + 28.75 (the difference b/w a 3 day hopper & a 7 day hopper for 2 adults/1 child) - and then I'd have to get a 1-day ticket so we could apply dining (I have an AP & I think I would have to do this, not sure) for all four of us, so subtract that cost, $79... we'd save $518.75 with the buy 4/get3 free.

I hope that makes sense... before I actually did the math, I just assumed the "buy 4/get 3" was better... but the fact that the difference b/w buying a 4 day hopper and a 7 day hopper is so small, and then that as an AP holder, I'd have to "add on" a day to get everyone the free dining... the "free dining" is actually far better.

But -- I don't see us going during the hot weather that they usually offer the free dining, so I'll take whatever we can get. It'd be nice if they extended it this year, though!!

This may sound like a stupid question, but I am hopeful someone can answer it.

Right now we are booked for our honeymoon in disney from August 1-16. Since we are getting married there they give you a discounted room at deluxe resort (Contemporary) which comes out to be about 229 a night. We also have park tickets, but we cant add on dining plan, which really disappointed us. If this deal is an option for August dates, how many days can you use the 4/3 deal? Can we use it over and over for all 16 days? I am so confused.....thanks!

[coloradowendyl]

The current offer is a 10 night maximum. Many guests staying more than 10 nights have booked 2 consecutive packages to take advantage of the discount.
