Welcome back B-Dude!

This sounds interesting...thanks for the info...might have to check it out!

I'd seriously love to do that sometime in the summer.

Very interesting. I am anxiously awaiting to see what they announce for the end of June into the beginning of July. I am really hoping they do the Buy 4 Get 3 free again.

The only problem I have with deals like this is the clause that you cannot apply any other offers or discounts. Since NOBODY should ever pay rack rates for a hotel room, I wonder if you couldn't do better in savings with a discount over five nights.

for example, if you stay six nights and were able to save $125 off the rack rate for a deluxe room by using a discount code or AP discount, that's $750 back in your pocket, not on a gift card.

Anyone going for it?

I'm heading down on the 6th but using DVC points for the room. I haven't bought the park tickets yet. I usually do that at check in. I wonder if they'll bend the rules a bit for me. We'll see!

Kind of.

I booked a trip through Disney (UK) a couple of months ago. This offer has been on in the UK for a while now. And the gift cards on the UK offer are worth more than the US ones, it seems.

For my stay at Pop Century in February-March, I get a $350 gift card for my troubles The rates for the UK offer are:

Value: $350
Moderate: $550
Deluxe: $750
Deluxe Villa: $1000

Interestingly, on the UK offer I can't see any mention of it being a limited offer, and it doesn't include blackout dates (and has a larger date range alltogether). The UK offer is available for stays between 3 Jan and 18 May 2010 (booked before 15 Feb).

Details on the UK offer are here.

Proof that Disney likes its UK guests more?
