Other discounts thru Connections???

pjfnme · 12-29-2003

HI!!! I haven't posted in a while..but, I'm finally getting back in the mood where I'm really looking forward to our May WDW trip!! I hope everyone here enjoyed wonderful hollidays! Anyway...I was wondering if there were any other advantages to joining Connections other than the meal vouchers...? I have done quite a bit of research on them, and, other than the character breakfasts and a couple of the "sit down" restaurants for lunch, the meal vouchers won't do me much good. I was wondering if they offered WDW ticket discounts or anything of that nature??

If anyone can give me any info I would be very appreciative!

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

They do offer discount WDW tickets, as well as Universal.

We also use it for discounted gift certificates - buy a $25. Barnes and Noble gift card, use it to shop, and at teh end of the month, you're reimbursed $5. They also have Toys R Us, KB Toys, and others. We used them for a lot of our Christmas shopping. I'll get the refunds just after the first of the year.

They also offer gift cards at Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, etc. The rebates on those are $2. off on $10.

There are others, but I can't get to the website at the moment.

In addition to the Quick and Casual meal vouchers, they also offer VACATION KINGDOM LUNCH VOUCHERS, which are a GREAT deal. We always do the LAST seating of lunch and have that as our dinner in a really nice place....we spent $90 on 3 vouchers, for a $180 meal at Alfredo's in Italy at Epcot....definitely worth the money we paid! And there is a great thing to be said about having meals paid for in advance! ;)

How do you find Connections and join? I tried typing it in and I get Match Making services or a Business Connections service.

Anyone have a web page?

My understanding is that Hotwire Savings Club is the same deal. Here is a link to their website....

Hotwire Savings Club

I also joined a similar club through Victoria's Secrets called Victoria's Secrets Escapes. I am having trouble finding the website right now, but they offer the exact same things as Connections and hotwire.

About $8 a month. Little higher than the Disney Club for sure.

Do you guys get your money's worth out of it? The movie tickets are only .50 cheaper than Matinees around here.
