I hope this comes in handy for someone & it actually works.

Originally Posted By LuLu I tried it for a few dates, including ones I just booked the $54 rate last week, and it didn't work. I think it may get you the regular Entertainment discount but not the $54 rate. Curious to see if anyone gets the $54 rate this way - please post!
Originally Posted By Tinkerbell819 I just tried, too Lulu for some of the dates I've already booked the rate for, I didn't have any luck either. It came up higher than the AP rate. It would be a good thing for them to do, let us key a code in online, so they don't get so many calls from LPers!
Originally Posted By chickapin I did get the $54 rate this way. I had emailed Willie for some info and he suggested I use the code and book on line. Worked great. It was the local website (www.hojoanaheim.com) and not the central reservations one. Maybe that is the difference?
Originally Posted By LuLu I went thru hojoanaheim as well, but when I click Reservations, it takes me to the main site. Good to know this works, however if you don't get the rate you might try calling in anyway just to be sure!
Originally Posted By Colin If you try using it online, and it doesn't work, try starting it on a different day. Here's what I mean: I'll be there starting Nov. 3. When I entered the Ent. Rate code starting on Nov. 3, it gave me the full rack rate for my trip because the Ent. Rate isn't available for Nov. 3. So I entered my trip dates starting on the 4th, and I got the $54 rate. Willie just said to book both reservations and he'd put them together as one. Willie's great. He must be checking his emails all the time. He got back to me after only 20 minutes.

I don't know that Willie minds being contacted, but I figure it's not really his job If you already have a res. # then Jennifer can help you at that email. But I don't think she can start a res. that way; you need to be in the system already. That's a great tip for trying different days. Sounds like the site will give you the highest rate available during your stay, and can't give you different rates for each day.

Originally Posted By DLTheo Hmm, I've tried dates of 11/4 - 11/5, and a few other ranges started with 11/4, using the promo code sd50. The cheapest rate I can get to come up is $99.

Originally Posted By 1DisneyNutt Its possible the rate is not available for those dates though. When I entered my dates which of course are not until next year the price came up expensive as well. Hope this ends up in your favor.
Originally Posted By MKKPlus2 I tried the code on the hojoanaheim website for the dates i'll be there (just to see if it would work) and for 9/22 - 9/27 I got the rate of $54. not going to book it though, just wanted to see if it would work.
Originally Posted By DLTheo MKKPlus2, I used your dates and did see the $54 rate. It must be the dates I'm trying, then. Is there an easier way to find out what dates work? I suppose calling them! Thanks!

Hope this helps!
