DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old.

“Some of my little friends say there is no new discount coming out on December 21.

“Papa says, ‘If you see it in TouringPlans.com it’s so.’

“Please tell me the truth; is there a new discount coming out on the 21st?

- Virginia

Yes, Virginia, there is a new discount coming out on December 21. It exists as certainly as Buzz and Woody and Belle exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no discounts! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no Splash Mountain, no Tower of Terror to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in discounts! You might as well not believe in fairies!

[Note: In keeping with Bob Iger's recent statements about 2010 discounts we don't expect this discount to be as steep as Buy-4-Get-3-Free or Buy-5-Get-2-Free.

Update: We hear there's a five-day minimum. Travel dates are January 3 through June 3, 2010. Those who stay at value resorts will get a $300 gift card. Moderate resorts get a $500 gift card. Deluxes get a $750 gift card. Blackout dates are March 28 through April 10, 2010. There's limited availability.]

Walt Disney World has released a special Magic Your Way package deal for the travel dates listed above, where you can receive up to a $750 Disney Gift Card for free with your stay. There are a few requirements:
A minimum 5 night stay
A minimum 5 day Magic Your Way park pass
You must stay at a Disney World resort (Swan, Dolphin and Downtown Disney area resorts do not qualify)

Availability is extremely limited, especially during January and February. Blackout dates include March 27 – April 11, 2010. You may not check in during the black out dates. You can check in March 26 or before and extend into the black out period and still qualify. You can also check in June 3 and qualify for the free gift card.

You will receive the gift card at check in, it cannot be used to pay for part of your package. You must pay your package in full 45 days before travel. The gift card can be used anywhere in the Walt Disney World resort theme parks and resorts that accept credit cards, including restaurants, gift shops and to pay for your charges against your room. It can also be used at many Walt Disney World Downtown Disney merchants, at the Disneyland Resort, on the Disney Cruise or at the Disney Store. It can also be used to pay for a future Disney vacation.

Gift Card Amounts:
$300 – Disney World Value Resorts
$500 – Disney World Moderate Resorts
$750 – Disney World Deluxe Resorts
$750 – Disney World Deluxe Villa Resorts

Please note that you cannot combine discounts. If you have already booked a reseration with the buy 4 get 3 free discount or another discount, you can not add this to your reservation. You will need to compare your current reservation with the Disney Gift Card deal, and decide which option works better for you.
