The Blonde Diaries

Sounds odd to mention Disney, Deal, and Budget all in the same headline but that is correct. Today, Disney released a new special right around 4pm CST for people who are considering a trip between January and June of 2009. Based on when you travel and what you are planning on doing you can possibly get 3 free hotel nights, 3 free park admission days, and $200 in gift cards. The deal is good through December 20, 2008 and the only blackout week is the week of Easter. Not too shabby. Of course before you book make sure to calculate to see if this will be a deal for you. With the state of the economy we may be needing to cut back a little more and vacation less. Luckily, Disney should not be going anywhere anytime soon! For more details see the information below:

Free Nights Package Offer for January-June 2009

Disney is offering a fantastic “free nights” vacation package offer. It is valid for stays January 4 through June 27, 2009 (with April 5-18 blacked out).

Here are the details:

• Buy a 4-night/4 day vacation package, get a 7-night/7-day package. That’s 3 FREE hotel nights and 3 extra days on your theme park admission tickets!

• Travel between January 4 and March 29 and you will also get a $200 Disney Gift Card, redeemable for dining, souvenirs and more at Walt Disney World! (Travel after March 29 does not include the Gift Card.)

To calculate your approximate savings:

• Multiply the room rate times 3 (savings of 3 nights’ room rate).

• Add $9 per person (approx ticket savings for the 3 extra days).

• Add the $200 gift card if you will be traveling by 3/29.

• The total is your savings.

You must buy a package that includes at least 4 nights’ accommodations at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel plus minimum 4-day Magic Your Way Base Tickets to qualify for the FREE nights and the extra days on your tickets.

You can stay longer than 7 nights (up to 10 nights) with this package, but there is a maximum of 3 free nights and 3 extra days per ticket, per stay. You can stay less than 7 nights, but you still must purchase 4 nights, so you’ll end up with less than 3 free nights/extra days: stay 5 nights, get 1 free; stay 6 nights, get 3 free. Obviously a 7-night stay is the best deal!

You can add the Quick Service Dining Plan, the regular Dining Plan, or the Deluxe Dining Plan, but you will pay full price for your dining plan (no free days of dining). This offer cannot be applied to the Premium or Platinum packages or to “split stays” (for example, 4 nights at one hotel, 3 nights at another).

You must book this special package by 12/20/08.
* RWZ for package with 7 nights/7 days for price of 4 nights/4 days (+ $200 Gift Card if traveling 1/4/08-3/29/08)
* WTY for same package with Quick Service Dining Plan
* RXA for same package with regular Dining Plan
