Two things that will never happen to me:

[eeyoregon]

#1.) After going to the World for over 10 years, always staying on property, always booking directly with Disney and registering my email, it is apparent that I will NEVER get a PIN code. :sad1:

2#.) I will never be tagged by the tag fairy. :sad2:

Ok, my pity party is almost over. :rolleyes:

1. Get a AAA card. It allows you to DIY your own PIN.
2. Can't help with your lack of tags. I'm willing to provide delicious pity party treats...they follow here: popcorn:::cake::drinking1 Who knows? maybe the conversation on this thread will turn so profound you'll end up with tags! :)

How does that work? I had a AAA card for years but after never using it once, cancelled last year. Does AAA send out PIN codes??

TIA

You don't get a PIN, but you do get a certain amount off. Our Nov/Dec trip is around 20% off. Better than nothing! And as always, if a better deal comes out, you could apply that instead :thumbsup2

I agree this seems to be the one thing that will never happen to me either. I do rely on my bouncebacks though.:sad1:

[tmanaster]

Me too! I read all about the pins and wonder HOW DO YOU GET ONE? :confused3 Who knows? I guess it's just not meant to be!

[poohbear15]

Same here. Been to the world 24 times. 5 that I have booked on my own through disney, even got Married there and never a code. Even had the Disney Visa. ANYTHING ANYTHING???? PLEASE!!!!

[eeyoregon]

Awe, it's so nice to know that I am not alone :hug:!!

I think what really hurt my little feelings was after I helped a friend and her family plan their 1st trip to the World last year, after they got back, BOTH families got PIN codes!!

She called to ask me what it was!! I tried to act like I get them all of the time but inside I was about to cry :sad2:.

Maybe we should start our own club?? The "How many times can you go to Disneyworld and NEVER get a special offer" club!!

ttfn

[nurse.darcy]

6 trips in a year and no pin offer. . .its okay though, I have an ap, I book ap rates or AAA rates or sometimes the special "public" offers. It would be nice if Disney rewarded frequent flyers. . .

Try ordering the trip planning CD. Both times that we have ordered it we have received pin codes in the mail. This year was for free dining that we were able to extend to Christmas time. We are going 12/12 - 12/18, saves us $1,120.

Also or the custom maps, cant hurt.

Hope you get one soon!

[KJ Luvs Pluto]

I've ordered the planning DVD and the custom maps and still no pin code for me either. I used the AAA code twice and the general code 4/3 once. I don't think I will get another chance to go but if I ever do it will have to be with a good code, either the pin that I have never received :lmao: or really nice general public code. But I can't complain, at least I have been there a few times. There are many people who never get that opportunity.

[kymma]

I have done everything people say to do to get a pin code. Still never received one.

[pixierella]

Me either and I've done everything everyone says to do. I even had my husband register under name, order the DVD and so on. I check my email and the website that was posted here just last week. Nothing.

[pixeydust]

What is a "tag fairy"? :confused3

It's when a Moderator (I think the mods do it?) takes something you have posted and quotes it in colored writing under your screen name over on the left. I gave up and wrote my own.

I have ordered at least 10 of those planning DVD's (vhs in the old days) to give out to the folks twhen I plan their trips for them but still no offers, PIN codes or anything else for that matter.

Perhaps owning a Disney Visa boosts your odds but I do NOT own credit cards and won't so I suppose that rules me out.

[tinkerbellmagic]

I hear ya! 11 trips to DW, 4 Disney cruises, countless planning VIDEOS AND CDs, updating my registration on a few different email addresses, registering under new email addresses, receiving email from EVERY SINGLE Disney place you can think of (Family Fun, Movies, etc.) and NOTHING! I buy APs and then see someone get a pin for 40% off. It is frustrating.

Oh, and I have the Disney Visa, so that is no help.

Oh, that bites. I would feel the same way.

And folks like us can just forget EVER snagging any kind of Year of a Millions Dreams goodies. ;) I dare not go there.

And those Mickey ears people were winning like hotcakes at a church breakfast? ... sometimes more than one pair? Many postcards later, no Mickey ears for us.

[disnywd]

We go for 11 or 12 nights, every June, and have never received a pin or a bounceback offer.

Maybe it's because Disney knows they don't need to give us one, we'll go anyway!:laughing:

2 days!

[eeyoresnr]

just curious if any of you received pin codes today? I did (40% off) for the first time ever:woohoo: and as you can see by my signiture we've been there lots on the past few years...always stayed at Disney resorts...I see on another thread several people got them today also
WOW I just checked my other email and have a pin code there too (different code) how crazy is that?

[jake20]

i just got the 40% off code as well, and I just ordered the vacation planning DVD on Monday!

[singnring]

My DH and youngest DD go 3-5 times a year; never have once rcvd a pin code.

Back in '07, we paid for another DD and her new DH to spend a few days @ WDW with us (surprised them w/ thier own room when they expected to have to share w/ us!!).

Since then, they have not returned to WDW, but have rcvd pin codes 2 or 3 times!

Maybe it's an incentive to get people back.

Perhaps Disney doesn't feel the need to send codes to those of us who return time after time w/out a code?!

Just a thought, but then, who knows??

[eeyoresnr]

my husband just called and said he got a pin code at his work email ....go figure:confused3

[MouseyMin]

I was in your boat until yesterday when I got my first ever PIN code! And I've been going to WDW since 1978. I couldn't believe it!:yay: There's still hope for everyone.::yes::

[kath1210]

Don't give up, Gina!! We just got our first pin code today, and we've been going several times per year since 2002, have a Disney Visa, AP, order all of the DVDs, maps, etc.

Of course, when I called to make reservations, the computers were down.:sad2:

[mommy*RN]

We got our first code after booking a trip and then having to cancel it when I thought I might lose my job. I didn't rebook because we found a great deal through a TA. Then *poof* my DH gets a code in his email. It wasn't better than the deal we already had, but it was my first code.

I got my tags by hanging out on the Community Board. There is a whole thread dedicated to those who are Tagless over there.

[sabrecmc]

I've never gotten a PIN code. I have a Disney Visa, AP, I'm a FL resident...maybe they figure they don't need a PIN to entice me since we go all the time. Sigh. If I could get the 40% off, I'd book for December in a heartbeat. Darn it all.

[eeyoresnr]

that's how we felt too...we have the visa, live and FL and are passholders...then last week we got 3 seperate codes....our Dec trip is already paid for in full, so we are trying to decide if we can fit in another trip before then...even if it's a short one:rolleyes1

[winterman]

If you go to WDW and stay on site every year or even more often, it is obvious that Disney doesn't need to entice you back.

We did Free Dining in 2005 and 2006. Last April/May we stayed off site. This Jan we got a 40% code. I think if you disappear once in a while Disney will work to get you back.

:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

[eeyoregon]

Oh, that bites. I would feel the same way.

OMG!! I forgot about that!! My same friends that got multiple PIN offers after their 1st trip ALSO won YoaM Dreams Ears at Epcot and Dream FAST PASSES at Animal Kingdom!!! Seriously. Now I feel like an even bigger loser :eek:!! I wonder if it was because they were wearing their 1st Trip pins?? Maybe I should borrow theirs :lmao:!

[eeyoregon]

Ok, where/how exactly did you get a PIN? Mail? Email (which site)? Call from Mickey Mouse?

My fear is that maybe I have gotten one but it was burried in a cluttered news letter or something :confused3 and I didn't even know it!?

OK, I really should let this go....nope, I can't. Oh bother.

We got it by e-mail. It was very obvious - the subject line was something like "Save 40% on a Disney Vacation."

It was for me, as I have an AP, but it went to my DH's e-mail address!! How did they ever link those? He almost deleted it! Who knows how many others he may have deleted?:confused3

[wdwmaw]

Two things that will never happen to me !!

1.Pin code from Disney, done everything to get one and whatever. Did get 7 nights through Christmas during the LMT world for a $1 promotion, so I shouldn't complain about that,it's like getting 80% off.

2. Cheap airfare from Southwest !! My Oct. trip is showing $180 one way and $112 the other. I check everyday multiple times, have dinged for years, check every sale, willing to book weekdays to make cheaper and on and on. I don't get it, I have always found Delta cheaper but with baggage fees it is so much cheaper to drive.

I am done ranting now !!

[eeyoregon]

I am done ranting now !!

:hug: Rant away. That's sort of why I made this post. I couldn't take another thread about "I just got my 900th PIN code today" :lmao:!!!

gina

P.S. We are at the World at the SAME TIME!!!

[wdwmaw]

I wish your trip perfect weather, low crowds and many magical moments :wizard: Oh wait thats my wish, glad your there the same time. We will be the family with the four 17 year old boys celebrating there senior year.

The planning is killing me let alone all of the money part. We really need AP for this trip but of course no discount card for us. No Ap 40% discount for us, since there will be 7 flying will be so expensive we need a room only Fri. night and I am sure I will get somthing but ya know I thinking of checking in about 1 am and sleeping in the kids lounge till they let us check in the next morning.Do ya think that will snub there pin code.:rolleyes1 :lmao:

[tinkerbellmagic]

No, no, no, now see that is the delusional type of thinking Disney wants us to have. We know better. ;)

When the castmember taps you on the shoulder and says, "I'm sorry but you can't sleep here" you can reply with, "well if you would give me a freaking PIN code I could afford a room"!!!!!!!!!!!

Be sure to look for us as we'll be sleeping on the chairs by the pool ;).

[DougK]

What a great thread! Now I can whine about never getting a pin code and know I am not alone!

Don't you hate when someone posts "we just got 3 pin codes, one at each of our 3 email addresses!".

Makes me sick!

Oh wow I feel better now.... :)

[scribega]

Let me try to put you a little at ease - somtimes the best deals are the deals to the general public.

My DW has been a TA for 2 years now and the past two years that we have gone on a trip we booked a public code. We received a 40% code earlier this year, but the free dining was a better offer so we are doing that.

I know, a 40% code MIGHT be better than free dining if you are staying at deluxe, but the majority of people stay in a value or moderate. So rest easy because sometimes the deal that you DO get is better than the deal you MIGHT get.

[floridascgirl]

It was for me, as I have an AP, but it went to my DH's e-mail address!! How did they ever link those? He almost deleted it! Who knows how many others he may have deleted?:confused3

Sadly, I found out from my DH last year that he had been deleting e-mails from Disney Destinations :scared1: I swear I almost filed for divorce on the spot. God only knows how he got linked...I'm the Disneyholic in the house! It's really weird b/c when I called, they didn't even have a record of him in their system. :confused3 Anyway, now I have to constantly remind him to FORWARD all e-mails from D.D. to me. We did get 2 of the Goofy pin codes recently, but we were unable to use them with our dates. :sad2:

You are right free dining is much better for us than 40% off but we are driving and we could arrive anywhere from 1am-4am depending when we get out of here and we will be in 2 seperate vehicles with DH arriving about 9am. I could use that 40% for a room only for just one room so DD and I have somewhere to go till the rest of our party arrives and we can all check in together.

Also the 40% that came out the first of the year had Dec.24, I could have used that to add one more day to the start of our Dec. trip. So, yes GP offers can be as good but I sure needed that 40% before my GP offer starts. My DD and I will be the 2 asleep on the kids furniture @ POP Oct. 3 :rolleyes1

[wdwmaw]

OK another round of pin codes out and still none for me.

[kath1210]

:rotfl2:Well, I checked my DH's second e-mail address, and guess what? He had another 40% off pin code in there!! Unbelievable!

[mitsybella]

I had never received an email pin code until I called the general questions # and asked if they had my correct address and email address, said I had not received any offers and my friend kept getting them and could not understand why I never got any..... they did not have my email and so I asked them to add my email, the next day I recieved my first pin offer. I have ordered from disney online, stayed at disney, have the visa, ordered the planning DVD, so they have my email but in whatever system they use for the Pin they did not have my email and never got a pin until this call. :confused3 of course the pin they sent was not one I could use but at least I know I am on the "list" now :thumbsup2

[DMRick]

I never get codes under the name and address and email address I have used for my frequent trips, but I always get them when I sign up a new name using my post office box, and I always get them when I change email addresses and sign up anew.

#1.) After going to the World for over 10 years, always staying on property, always booking directly with Disney and registering my email, it is apparent that I will NEVER get a PIN code. :sad1:

2#.) I will never be tagged by the tag fairy. :sad2:

Ok, my pity party is almost over. :rolleyes:

[eeyoregon]

Good grief!!

Ok, so I had emergency surgery on the 4th of July. I'm lying in my hospital bed a few days later when my cell phone rings. It's my good friend Sara, who I helped plan her 1st trip to the World last year.

Sara: "Hi Gina. What's up? Guess what? I got another fantastic special Disney offer and I booked it for September."

Me: "Oh, not much. Lying here in the hospital. That's great."

Seriously, can I not just get one stinking PIN code or "special" offer??????? I likely couldn't even use it but that's sooooo not the point.

Ok, feeling a bit better.

OH WAIT! Guess what the 4th of July was? It was my 90 day ADR date but I obviously couldn't make my ressies from my hospital bed...heck the morphine was making it so I couldn't even remember my name let alone try to recall which days I wanted what restaurants if I had called the dining line on my cell phone, LOL!

[nowellsl]

One sure way to get a code is to register to get in free on your birthday. My daugher and I both got pins:goodvibes for room discounts around when our birthdays are. Mine was for 40% off - hers was different but I can't remember what it was....

[eeyoregon]

Oh yippee...more PIN codes are out today...and of coure I DIDN'T get one!! :sad1:

Good grief.

[Tracie]

I never get a pin either, but my SIL that went with me once on a trip that I booked in my name, and paid for gets them all the time.:confused3:confused3

Sometimes the pin code comes to my house with her name on it.

[verygfy]

Oh thank goodness for this thread I soo thought this was only me and I was the only person who was soo bitter about not ever getting a pin. What does a person need to do to get a pin code. I have created a new registration and reordered the trip planning dvd. I have the credit card I even get there newsletter, but no stinkin pin code...

Maybe everyone's right, maybe I go to frequently that Disney doesn't feel I need a pin code to come back, but darn it all I want a pin code... Maybe if I got a pin code for 1 trip I would spend that extra money on an AP and they could get me 3 times a year instead of 2!!!:surfweb:

[wdwmaw]

Well I again post on this thread that I did not receive a pin today, yesterday, this month, last month.......anybody seeing a pattern here, Oh yea, everybody on this thread is in my world. At least I know I am not the only one.

We need some kind of marker to wear in the parks so we will see each other and know we are pinless dis'ers.

[dopeyone]

What are these pins? Will they fit on my lanyard? Could I trade them with other pin collecters? I never recieved any kind of pin in the mail! :goodvibes

[wdwmaw]

What are these pins?There is a very special CM that bestows a very coveted pin on a very few special and lucky guests. You literally have to be in the exact place at the exact time to receive one of these pins. Will they fit on my lanyard?Yes, if you write small enough, I have heard they can be very long Could I trade them with other pin collecters?No you can not trade them with other pin collectors and if caught doing so you could give up your right of ever and I mean ever recieving another one I never recieved any kind of pin in the mail!The year of a million dreams is over so quit dreaming :goodvibes

:rolleyes1

[cappygirl]

I'm so glad I found you all!
I've been multiple times a year for the past 9 years, we were married there, have taken the cruise and gone on an adventures by disney vacation, i'm signed up on the website, i've ordered a planning dvd every year, and NEVER have I gotten a pin!

We had to book a room for the band who played at our wedding, and we got a pin a few weeks ago addressed to them, sent to my parents house.
When I was 18, I went with a friend of mine, and of course....a pin showed up at the house for her too!!

I feel so ignored :confused3

Just trying to be grateful that at least I get to go to Disney World, even if I don't get the upgrade to the deluxe villas. :sad1:

Thanks for letting me vent!

[let'sgo]

I got an "Upgrade your Disney Resort, FREE!" with a pin number. This was for a deluxe villa, and the dates I could use!! I called and they told me there weren't any dates left. Was I ever disappointed. So I guess that I can't be a member of your "I never got a pin #", but I still feel cheated. I called the same day I received the pin # too. :(

[catne]

oh, my...if it weren't for free dining, I'd be really depressed.

Signing up for the birthday promo did us no good on pins -- both DH & me are signed up. No pins. And we belong to every possible Disney newsletter, music club, video club, etc. Get countless junk emails from Disney. No pins. Get snail mail junk, too. But no pins.

Oh well. Start the Pin-Pity-Party!

:drinking1:drinking1:drinking1:drinking1:drinking1

[Bugsmom73]

NEver here either. I ordered something for my mom using her credit card, her name and my email address at the Disney Store ONCE, and I have gotten 3 PIN codes for her. None for me.

I have been 9 times.

[eeyoregon]

Hey, it's me...the author of this thread.

I think you should all sit down.

Ok, ready?

I FINALLY GOT A PIN CODE TODAY!! :yay:

Holy-toledo that only took 12 years!!!

Now, is the tag-fairy even still alive??

Gina

[beatlesblonde]

I'll take my "never received a PIN code" membership card too please! I have the Disney Visa, ordered the DVDs and custom maps, although not a frequent traveler to WDW (yet, 3 years in a row and counting!) We're now AP holders so we can hope for a good AP discount but it seems AP holders are the last in the bunch to get any deals :confused3

Congrats!!!! There's hope for us yet! Now the question is, will you use it?? :rotfl:

I see you are going on a cruise for your 40th - have fun!!!

Now, say something funny/charming/whatever so you can get that tag!!!
(can you get one when you are as "new" as me???) :confused3

I will be able to use it because after my cruise I will be staying in Orlando to play at WDW! I booked the Polynesian today to secure the deal. Might change to Animal Kingdom to save some $$.

omg congrats on finally getting a pin! Hope it's something you can use!

Thanks. I used it today...kind of having buyers remorse tho and may downgrade...even with 40% off that is a LOT of money :scared1: for this single mama!

Here's wishing you all luck in getting a PIN code.

Oh, here is how I got it. I was tinkering around disneyworld.com and pricing out different hotel/ticket packages. I was just looking and exited out.

A few days later I get an email addressing my family by name saying they noticed our interest in the Boardwalk resort (that was one of many resorts that I priced). At the very bottom of the email I spotted the PIN number...almost missed it. It didn't exactly jump off the page.

The funny thing is that I got a PIN number for DisneyLAND last week! I haven't been to DisneyLAND in 5+ years!
