40% Moderate Discount?

[LarryBoy]

Did anyone else get a flyer from Disney about 40% discounts at moderate hotels. It says they are available all year, but you must book before March 31. I could not find a code on it anywhere. Does anyone know anything about this?

[garymacd]

Oh, this would be sweet. I am looking at booking for May. Let me know if it is true.

[Darbylew]

I have not heard of the discount but would love
to get it as we are going the first week in April.
Hope someone has an answer.

If anyone hears that it's more than a bounce-back rate and it's open to the general public, let me know! We're headed to WDW in August and this would be fantastic as we'd only have to pay rack rates for one night with a promotion like this.

From what I've read on another site this is not a bounce back offer. This seems to be coming to random people through snail mail or email. Some people have reported that it is 40% off of packages and rooms. There are certain weeks throughout the year that it can be used.

[LarryBoy]

Ours came through snail mail earlier this week, and I couldn't find a code on it. Of course now I can't find it. I think my wife threw it away. I may be digging through the trash tonight.

I am keeping my fingers crossed to see if this comes across my mail. 40% off a moderate during my stay is almost the same as the rack rate at POP. I would hop to a mod in an instant for the same price.

Thanks for the clarification, I gathered you received it while staying at a resort when you said "flyer".

If you received it in the mail (and it did not state that it was a public discount), it is likely a private discount code. In addition to the code (which can not be posted here according to the Terms of Service) there is typically a unique pin # that must be given at the time of booking.

My retarded question would be, how do they know you didn't receive the mailer if there is not sort of code on it.....or is it in Disney's system that they sent it to you...????? I sure think it sounds great and I could / would love to use it....I can change my week to take advantage of 40% off.........WOW !!!!

[Tink1]

There is a code on each postal mailing and email that is specific for the person it was sent to.

On the postcard, it is highlighted in yellow above your name

On the email it is in the column on the right side of your screen

Hope that helps!

So it sounds like I need to go through the trash and find that mailer. I hope it's still in the house. I'm pretty sure it came after trash pick up day. Gosh, now I'm nervous.

[Cookie123]

I'm just curious ..... When did everyone get these e-mails ?

[LuvAllPrincesses]

I received my discount card snail mail about 2 days ago. Mine, though, was for value resorts at 40% off. I have to wonder if it isn't a result of answering a survey when you are at a park. On our last trip (Dec 2006), we were stopped by a CM at Epcot and asked if we would complete a verbal survey with him that took about 5-10 minutes, and it included giving name, address, etc. We were staying at POP (2 adjoining rooms) and were asked questions about how many times we had visited, stayed at which resorts, would we again, etc. Does anyone else who received these offers remember doing a survey? If so, I guess it was worth spending the time at Epcot that day!

Hey, we were stopped 3 times last year and asked for our email address. I haven't checked the mail at the Post Office but, it would be awesome to have a mailer there only one thing. I want to go Christmas week and from what Figment posted it's not for that time or even for the week we had planned to go in the summer. It excluded June/July and 1st part of Aug.

[LarryBoy]

I don't remember completing a survey in the last few trips, but I have done it before. We were hoping to go first week of December, but may have to make a change if the deals are that good. Like I said I hope I can find the mailer when I get home.

[Catzle]

I just called Disney and asked about this discount. There is no rhyme or reason as who gets these mailings and they are pin coded to your name.

Checked, nothing under my name. But if you lost or threw yours away you can call Disney directly and the pin would be under your name. She also said a lot of times after these mailings go out not soon afterwards there is sometimes a public discount offered so who knows.

I received this email a few days ago and booked a package for August today. If you do use this be aware that some cast members when you call and book will say that it is a room only discount. It took me 3 times to get a cast member that was willing to help me. My best friend called today and got the exact same rate as I did without using a code at all for August $49.20 per night at Pop Century

i would love to have gotten this, just booked 3 nights Pop w AP for $79.
and im also hoping to go maybe MidMay and/or Sept.
i remember getting postcards before once or twice. once was right after i got back from WDW.

[wdwnomad]

I got an email from Disney Destinations with the 40% discount pin the other day.

I got one last year too and used it. It ended up being a very good deal. While on that trip we booked for this year using the free dining bounceback offer that was going on at the time. I ran the numbers and the free dining is a better deal for us because we are staying in a value resort and have the dining plan.
