Thank you for titling this "Anatomy of a Discount". As a medical school student, I pretended that listening to this episode meant that I was studying. -Kathleen

We booked one year out for our August trip next year. Grabbed Free Dining and our TA has been awesome at comparing each new deal that comes out to what we have to see what is the best option.

Unfortunately our dd turns 10yo just weeks before the trip and that is what is pushing us over moneywise.

Darn kids getting older and growing up!

Should also point out Disney's wording for the Kids stay/play/dine free (currently stay/play) deals. Kids are always free in the resorts so the "stay" portion of the deal, while sounding cool, is no different than if mom & dad are paying rack rates!

Great episode! I've decided that we're going to use Mouse Fan Travel to arrange our trip this year and also try to pay attention more to mousesavers.com.

Also, for the new dad on the show (be sure to click on the exhibits): http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/guest_wee...r_smbc.png

Several times, I have had clients who have received PIN codes that they aren't able to use (mostly a kids stay/play FREE for adults with no kids). When I have called and asked, they have received permission to switch the PIN offer to another. One time, they even let me pick from all of the promotions they had available at that time!

Thanks for this episode. I'm planning on an October trip, and the discounts are all expiring 10/1. Fingers crossed for a good room discount for POFQ or Coronado!!!
