ORLANDO (CBS4) ―
Even Tinkerbell's magic pixie dust can't help the Walt Disney Company from the tanking economy.
Facing a considerable dip in Disney World hotel bookings for 2009, the company is bringing back a discount deal it offered five years ago: seven nights for the price of four.
The free nights package offer runs from January June 2009, (with April 5th through the 18th blacked out.)
Here are some of the nitty-gritty details:
*If you buy a 4-night/4-day vacation package, you'll get a 7-night/7-day package. That's 3 free hotel nights and 3 extra days on your theme park admission tickets.
*Travel between January 4 and March 29 and you will also get a $200 Disney Gift Card, redeemable for dining, souvenirs and more at Walt Disney World. (Travel after March 29 does not include the Gift Card.)
*You can stay longer than 7 nights (up to 10 nights) with this package, but there is a maximum of 3 free nights and 3 extra days per ticket, per stay.
*You have to book this special package by 12/20/08.
Disney announced the discount on Thursday, the same day the company reported lower profits because of a decline in theme-park and movie earnings.
