I was just browsing on getawaytoday.com, and put in a package deal for the dates of our next vacation, and then took the parkhoppers out of the package (we have AP's), and it quoted me $834 for 7 nights at the Grand Californian (119 per). I know that site has great rates and all, but does that seem too good to be true?
For those that have booked through them, you have to pay ahead, correct?
thanks,
Mike
Planning for a trip in summer 2013! That will be 3 years since I've been, very excited to see all the newness
I would call and talk to an agent, cuz 119 for the GCH sounds like a glitch in the system but stranger things have happened.
Life is too short to wake up with regrets ~So love the people who treat you right
Forget about those who don't ~ Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a chance, take it If it changes your life, let it ~Nobody said life would be easy,
they just promised it would most likely be worth it~ remember, Sometimes Miracles Hide
Even if it is a glitch, most companies will honor it if you pay (paid) for it.
Everything is prepaid. But I got a great rate for the Paradise Pier Hotel in Dec. (one nite free)..better than any other site.
When are you going???

I hope you grabbed it because I just tried it and it says there's an error on that page. If you did....way to go!!!!
Grab it and run. I have a friend at getawaytoday and they are a really good company and I am sure they'd honor what you paid and what they quoted!Originally Posted by IdahoMike
Oh I hope you booked it. :s
I love computer glitches. Usually I procrastinate and lose out though.

I just put in our December dates and for 7 night at the GCH it quoted me $0. Someone tell me how to book that fast!!!!
I swear it really did. But it didn't include the tickets.
They have a payment plan. $150 to hold your package and the rest is due thirty days before you travel. Cancelations are $50 and changes are $10.
I am always happy with their service.

lucky for you guys.. I put my dates in and it quoted me 450 a night without tickets.. go for it guys!!
A parent at work told me about this website that looks for glitches like that ($0 a night) and lists them all. I'd love to know the name of it, he said he'd get it for me, then we went on Christmas break (2 week break) and it never happened.. oh well.. but he said he actually booked a trip to Mexico and his hotel was $0 a night (They forgot the 9 before it or something) and it was honored!
.:*pixie*:.
It did the same for dates in February that I tried to book. And when I clicked on "book hotel" it popped up an error screen.I just put in our December dates and for 7 night at the GCH it quoted me $0. Someone tell me how to book that fast!!!!
I swear it really did. But it didn't include the tickets.
It let me book it today, 7 nights, total including tax $834.00. We'll see what happens, glitch or not I hope they honor it! My family will love it!

They are guaranteeing prices through Dec 31, so there may be a price increase. Here's a quote from the "Rules and Information" page.
Packages and attraction vouchers used after December 31, 2006 are subject to price increases and restrictions

That's INCREDIBLE!! What were your dates of travel? I think if I could get a deal like that, I would HAVE to make a trip to DL just because of the great deal LOL
~Annie~
Ok I really wish I would have waited. That's $120 cheaper on Getawaytoday.com then I got it for at Costco.com.
I called Costco Travel and they won't do anything
Oh Well....61 more days and I will be hangin with the mouse and won't care.
Heading to the Happiest Place on Earth November 5th-9th!
I used Get A Way Today for our hotel reservations, Residence Inn. We paid for it at the time of reservation and within a week we were sent the voucher for the hotel, which we are to present to the hotel front desk at check in. All taxes, room fees etc. were included. Since you've already paid for it I can't imagine them calling you and saying you need to pay more for your hotel. You should get your hotel voucher within the week. What a deal, that is same price we paid for the Residence Inn, Garden Grove.
Yes Yes, what dates??? I need to book that!
kjhgarden, did you get the lanyard and pin with your package? It says you get them as well as the postcards, but I didn't get either one. The phone card says "while supplies last", which I got one of those (won't use it though as I can just use my cell)
I wrote to them asking for the lanyard and pin because my kids are traders and it would be nice to have the pin to trade.

Yay you!!!!
I keep trying to book it and I am getting the $0 rate for the correct dates but it won't let me book- go figure.
Whittibo, I didn't recieve the lanyard and pin either because I didn't order tickets. I was going to order tickets through them at a later date but now I am going through the gaydays site, much better prices so I am glad I waited.. I did recieve the calling card though. Let me know if they send you some, I would love to get those items too.
There was a glitch in WDW's reservation system a couple of weeks ago...a buddy of mine got the Grand Floridian at $120 plus tax per night. He booked it online but was so worried that they would not honor the rate, he called WDW reservations and found out it was a computer error, but the good news was not only did they honor the rate, but gave him a $100 food and beverage credit at the hotel for calling and pointing out the error to WDW reservations (apparently WDW was not aware of the pricing error until he called).
Milhouse: We gotta spread this stuff around. Let's put it on the internet!
Bart: No! We have to reach people whose opinions actually matter!
"The Simpsons" Episode #214
Humm.. I didn't get the Disneyland tickets through them either because I am getting AP's. I wonder if that's why I didn't get the lanyard/pin. Maybe they don't give the DL pin, if you don't get the DL tickets. Bummer!

Just an update. Got my pamphlet in the mail from getawaytoday, and my CC has been charged the $834.00, so it is a done deal. Jan 1st-8th, $119 per night at the Grand Californian! WooHoo! Of course, I'm not cancelling my res. at the CandyCane until I call the GC the week before and confirm with a live person, but still, WooHoo!
