Disney offer ending today - what next?

[Bozza]

I know they usually step down the offer over a period of time, eg reducing then removing the gift card etc, but with the UK WDW booking site saying the current offer ends today...

- Dining credit
- 14 days for price of 7 tickets
- $100 gift card

...what is the expected next step after this, or does it revert to a room-only price with no perks after today.

The 14-days-for-7 bit isn't worth a great deal, although it adds up for a family, of course, and the $100 obviously isn't a game changer either, but the dining credit can be useful.

Who knows? If you have booked with a TA and you think the new offer is better, can you change to that offer?

If they use the normal offer cycle, I would expect the free nights offer to begin within the next couple of weeks. Which could be more valuable depending how generous it is this year, since the nightly cost of a higher tier resort is worth more than the dining credit.

Well, I appreciate that no-one actually knows, but I'm also aware that there has been a regular pattern in the past and whilst "past performance is no guarantee of future performance", I was merely enquiring as to that previous pattern, so...

...thanks, understood!

I would like to see free dining offered but I appreciate there is little chance of that😀

Anything that makes a 5 night stay cheaper would be good from my own perspective.

I thought it was tomorrow? Oh pants. I’m still undecided

I only noticed by chance. I'd been putting off booking anything as to book our flights we need to phone Virgin to use our rewards vouchers and miles, and I know I''ll be on hold for hours before I get to speak to someone.

So I'll book something today with Disney, knowing that I can amend later if needs be, FOC.

If we get free nights, it's always a 7 night minimum stay. But you could potentially get those 2 extra nights free. So might end up cheaper in the end depending on the rest of your plans?

I see Florida Residents can save upto 20% on rooms for stays in January until March 10, 2022. Annual pass holders get up to 25% off so maybe demand is not too high for early next year.

It's been free nights for a number of years now, but each year the offer seems to reduce. I think it will possibly be free nights again or some sort of room discount offer. It will be interesting to see if it works out better than the current dining credit offer for us. I've only put a £50 deposit down for 1 person, so will crunch the figures and see if it's worth cancelling, losing the £50 and rebooking. If it's not, then I'll just add the rest of the family on to the dining credit offer.
