I just saw this, too, and came back looking for a post here. It probably originated on the other board, but he mentioned it being rumored on "several" disney fan sites. :shrug:

EDIT: Check Mousesavers, it sounds legit.

Yep. There's definately a big deal at 5PM. The above description sounds pretty sweet.

I hate it when they think we're stupid. Regular ticket prices are essentially buy 4 get (up to 6 more) free already.

The other 2 are good, obviously. They could have left that middle one out.

Am I understanding this correctly?

If we decide to go in June for 14 nights, we'd pay for 8 nights and get 6 free?

That's how I read it. Waiting on the fine print.

Wow. That's a great deal. Unfortunately, no way can we take advantage of it. We're going in August for 14 nights. Won't be able to switch to take son out of school for that long.

Wow that is a great deal. They really must be hurting right now.

Ticket brokers have been doing this since the MYW tickets have been released. It's nothing new. The average consumer (which we are not) fall for these things all the time.

I know. It makes me cringe every time I see it.

Hi there all, As soon as anything official is released, you know the Konsultants will post the information for all!!!! Have a great day!!! Belle

If it turns out to be the deal posted above, would your check-in day have to be on or before Jun 27, or would your vacation have to end on of before June 27?

Bleh, that's not a HUGE deal IMO.

I liked the combo of discounted room rate and free dining that we're receiving in December. If we had purchased at rack rate and bought the dining plan it would have cost us $2478 for Dec 17-25. With the discounts we only paid: $1145.12 ($341.20 below rack on hotel alone). That's a savings of $1332.88 for 9 days and 8 nights during Christmas! Plus we hold the 1 day tickets and apply them to AP renewals later on.

Details: Family of 4, 2 ad 1 jr and 1 ch. AS Sports Preferred room 9/8 with 1 day base ticket. Rack cost: 1486.32
Dining plan cost: 991.68

With this HUGE discount A family of 4 in a value will get about $340 discount plus the $200 card (not usable toward meals) for seven days. But with free dining they get at least $700 in free dining credit based on rack cost, could be more if the plan is used effectively.

If you book two four day stays you'll end up buying at least a one day ticket again at a cost of $70-75 per person to get the three free days.

You'd have to book two packages and pay for at least a one day base ticket on each.

I don't believe that is the case - especially since it says "For every 4 nights - you get 3 nights free!"

Time will tell.

 

[dmlnml]

what if you already have booked your vacation? I will be there from Jan 24-31.

 

[DMDK]

It sounds like the Fairytale Package they had back in 2003. I remember you had to stay 5 nights and you got 1 free, and then with 6 nights you got 2 free, and with 7 nights you got 3 free.

Call them back with the discount code once released.

 

[DznyGrlSD]

Is this for MYW packages or can it be for room-only too? Is AP included?!? I'm getting excited :sohappy:

Thank you!
