In-Depth Information
a deal targeted to residents of the San Diego area published in an ad in a San Diego
newspaper. Dozens of discounts are usually listed on the site, covering almost all Dis-
neyland Resort hotels. Usually anyone calling the Disneyland Resort Reservations
Office (call 714-956-6425 and press 1 on the menu) can cite the referenced ad and
get the discounted rate.
unofficial TIP
For the best rates and least crowded conditions, try to avoid visiting Disneyland Re-
sort when a major convention or trade show is in progress.
YoushouldbeawarethatDisneyhasmovedawayfromroom-discountcodesthat
anyone can use. Instead, Disney is targeting people with pin codes in e-mails and dir-
ect mailings. Pin-code discounts are offered to specific individuals and are correlated
with that person's name and address. Pin-code offers are nontransferable. When you
try to make a reservation using the code, Disney will verify that the street or e-mail
address to which the pin code was sent is yours.
Toenhanceyourchancesofreceivingapin-codeoffer,youneedtogetyourname
and street or e-mail address into the Disney system. One way is to call the Disney Re-
sort Travel Sales Center at 714-520-5060 and request that written info be sent to
you. If you've been to Disneyland previously, your name and address will already be
on record, but you won't be as likely to receive a pin-code offer as you would by call-
ing and requesting to be sent information. The latter is regarded as new business. Or,
expressed differently, if Disney smells blood, they're more likely to come after you.
On the Web, go to disneyland.com , click on “My Disneyland,” and sign up to have
offers and news sent automatically to your e-mail address.
Mousesavers.com also features a great links page with short descriptions and
URLs of the best Disney-related websites and a current-year seasonal rates calendar.
