sjhanksaz's link is now updated with the details.... Saw some tweets on it as well.
I hate to say this, I think the details are somewhat disappointing.
First off... the prediction of being open 24hrs on leap day is a reality. Ok, thats cool.
They are giving away vacations from 1/1 - 2/29... Sorry, not to big on the whole "contest" thing where not everyone can really benefit from it. (But yes, I will still enter.)
You get an extra day if you book a package for a trip for the first part of the year. 1) That leaves out those who are AP holders who normally dont deal with packages and 2) Unless people who already have packages for those dates can rebook under this new offer (subject to availability) and get some benefit, it means that new reservations are pretty much a "last minute trip" sort of thing. Also, like anything else, you have to crunch the numbers and see if rebooking is really going to save you money. You know -the usual routine when it comes to trying to get the best bang for your buck.
So, in essence, the promo only goes through mid-March. Its not a year long thing. At least that is what it seems like.
I know that my thoughts on this promo are not all that positive. But I would love to hear what others have to say about it as well just in case I am missing something. It just would have been nice to see something that could have provided perks for many more guests throughout the year, even if it was something smaller.
