Well, some of you have been wondering why I have not posted the new Disney specials that have been announced in the last week. Well, first, I have been off work most of the last week with sick family members, which has severely limited my blog posting opportunities. Second, my priority was (and always has been) first to my clients that are already booked, to try to get them the special deals if they are available for them. In the last round of specials, I was able to change over all but one of my clients (their dates, though covered in the special, did not actually have any space...). Clients saved between $500 and $1900 dollars (and that is US dollars, Canadians...)
So what're the latest specials and are they worth it? I will briefly mention them below, and then as time allows post a bit of a follow up with more details on dates etc.
- Disney World "Pay for 4, stay for 7" promotion. For most dates from the beginning of January right through to June! you can stay for 7 nights while only paying for 4. Packages include accommodation, based on regular season prices and any of their Magic Your Way passes. Dining plans are at regular price. This is probably the best promotion that Disney have offered since 2003. So yes it is certainly worth considering...
- Disney Cruise Canadian residents special. As many of you know Disney cruises rarely if ever discount their cruises. For select dates from the beginning of Feb through the end of March (unfortunately not including our March Break dates) they are offering very special prices for Category 11 (inside cabins). Space is limited. While the price may still not be "cheap" (a Disney Cruise never is), it could be a chance to cruise with Disney for a lot less than normal, especially if, like many Canadians you don't like to book many months in advance...)
- "Paradise Twice" promotion with Disney Cruise Line. If you sail this winter, you can get a second cruise (in 2009) for only $99! (plus taxes, fees, airfare etc, of course). Well worth a look, this is a saving of at least $1000 for a family of 4. Of course, you do need to have enough time and money to cruise twice in one year...
- These two cruise deals seem to be mutually exclusive - I don't think you can get both...
P.S. For our Ottawa clients, if you can travel in January there are charter flights to Orlando with Sunwing and Transat Holidays (using Westjet) that are currently selling for around $70 (plus tax) per person. Total around $300 per person. Limited dates (middle two weeks in Jan) and days of the week (Thu and Fri only). Well worth it as many flights to Orlando are still over $600pp normally...
