Just booked March 14-21 plus 7 base tix at Pop for $1033, which comes out to $833 with the $200 gift card (for 2 people). I had already made up my mind to be more financially responsible next year and not schedule a Disney trip. Maybe I'll be more responsible in 2010.

My Mom said I was born weird....
This is really tempting for me to take the kids in the beginning of June....It may be the only way that I could afford it. I have enough in Disney dollars to pay for the vacation, plus I have quite a bit on my Disney Visa that I would be able to use for food.....What to do....what to do....
Was able to finally get home and get in a quickie
Go!!!If I had the Disney dollars, we would strongly consider going. But, we would have to use real dollars, economy is lousy and our hospital just cut 170 jobs (90 real, 80 not filled) so I feel like I should be more cautious with my money. Luckily, for me, the positions were mostly non-clinical and/or manager spots, which I got out of, so my position is pretty secure.
At any rate, our real plans are to go in 2010 but this sounds like such a great deal, I hate to pass on it.
I'm weird like that
I think you just got an uninformed CM. Techinically have to make a new ressie whenever there is a discount like this, rather than "applying" it to your current ressie. Know what I mean? But they should have just let you make the new ressie w/o the hassle. Understandably you may need to change your hotel, but like you said, it was w/in 1 hour of the announcement...hard to believe ALL the rooms for this deal, at the hotel you were staying at originally were already taken for your dates w/in an hour??But nevertheless, I'm glad you were finally able to get someone to help you save money!! YAY!!
Ummm...where is the question here??Ang-this discount was MADE for you!! Totally Fate's way of saying..."Angela, you must come to Disney! You must come to Disney! Here, take this discount & come to Disney!"
Don't forget you have to book by December 20th.

ugh, $2,236 for the 3 of us May 31-June 6 with 7 day park hoppers & dining. this is gonna be a tough sell with the way the economy is right now...
I'm weird like that
To help "sell" the deal you can get...price it out w/o the discount too! That way it will show the amount you will be saving & may show how much you NEED to take advantage of the deal!!

Could you do base tix instead of parkhoppers? That brought my total down quite a bit. Also, what about the QS dining plan instead of the regular DP. It's $10 per day cheaper. Oh, and make sure, if you call in your ressie, that you tell the CM not to add trip insurance. I had to call back because I went to check something online and the total was $200 less than the price the CM gave me. The next CM I got told me that the first had automatically added the $200 trip insurance without mentioning it. (If you're online, there's a place to uncheck trip insurance). So then she had to contact guest services to get it taken off my ressie.
